Chapter 410: The Emperor's Ribbon Fish
After two or three days of drifting at sea, Tang Dashan and the others have caught a lot of marine fish, and they will definitely make a small profit when they go back, but they will not make a fortune.
That's why they insisted on not going back right away. They all came out to surf with the dream of making a fortune, but when they went back with a meal and a little fight, they were sorry for themselves and their families who had placed their expectations on them.
Moreover, the preparation for coming out this time is relatively sufficient, and there will be no material crisis for the time being, so everyone will boldly continue fishing.
"Head east. Tang Dashan said to the other ship.
The fishing boat continues to move forward, casting its net on a deep-water fish.
At this time, the people standing in front of the boat were startled, they saw a huge sea snake-like animal swimming by the side of the boat, and soon dived into the sea, which made everyone think it was a delusion.
"Damn! It's definitely the first time I've seen such a big sea snake. Someone discussed.
"It shouldn't be a sea snake, right?" That thing just now is five or six meters long. Is there such a long sea snake? At least Tang Dachuan and other people who often deal with the ocean have never seen it.
"It's not a sea snake, it's a moray eel? The person next to him shook his head. Moray eels grow to be two meters long, which is already sky-breaking.
"It can't be a sea monster, I've heard before that there are quite a few monsters in the sea, and it's very powerful. Others were worried. If you haven't seen that kind of thing, everyone will be in awe of the unknown, especially the countrymen, who are more superstitious.
It's no wonder that they think so, even Westerners are convinced of monsters in the sea.
Because the thing flashed by, the discussion quickly calmed down.
When the net was closed, everyone cheered up again. The nets slowly came out of the water, and they were shocked to see the scene. Looking at the long sea fish, the shock in my mouth is indescribable.
I saw that the fish was six or seven meters long, and its pelvic fins turned into a pair of filamentous long fins, and the ends were swollen and willow-shaped. No anal fins. The caudal fin is not attached to the dorsal fin. The body of the fish is silvery-gray with blue-black markings. The head is blue and the fins are red.
"! What kind of fish is this, how do they grow so long?"
Tang Dachuan took a look, and the giant ribbon fish caught by the brother of Wei Hang before, called Yun Rulong, was more than three times long, and it looked a bit similar.
"Be careful, everyone, don't come near just yet. Tang Dashan and the others were shocked at the same time. It was also unusually happy. This fish will definitely sell for a good price.
After speaking, he immediately flipped through the booklet given to him by Wei Hang, and after more than ten minutes, he finally found the introduction of this fish, called Huangjia fish. This one is already small, and it is said that the largest imperial ribbon fish is fifteen or sixteen meters long, which is very terrifying.
Moreover, this sea fish was two or three hundred years ago. I really thought it was a sea monster.
Horror legends about the "sea serpent" have long been circulating throughout Europe. Encounters between ships and sea serpents are described in many ancient and medieval maritime texts.
What's even more terrifying is that every time the "sea snake" appears, there is an earthquake or tsunami in the area. Therefore, in most legends, the appearance of the "sea serpent" is a harbinger of ominous events.
For thousands of years. The "sea serpent" is like a huge shadow over the hearts of all seafarers. To this day, it is still referred to as the "Devil's Messenger".
In fact, these legends are true and false, such as earthquakes and tsunamis. Pure nothing.
The emperor ribbon fish is the longest bony fish in the ocean. Because this 18-metre-long giant ribbon fish lives in deep waters and is difficult to catch and observe, little is known about it. For thousands of years, it has been full of mysteries.
"Two or three hundred catties should be there. The men discussed.
After a while, everyone carried the emperor ribbon fish to the cabin, and the mouth had been tied up with ropes, for fear that it would burst out and attack people.
"Be careful! You two went over and helped. Tang Dashan commanded.
The strength of the emperor ribbon fish was very strong, and seven or eight people helped carry it away, but the person with the fish tail was swung by the long fish tail and almost fell into the sea. Even the fishing boat shook slightly, scaring everyone into a cold sweat.
"It's really strong enough, it's okay, we tie our mouths! Otherwise, if you bite it, you won't die and your skin will collapse!" the guy on the boat couldn't help but exclaim.
They don't know that although the emperor ribbon fish is fierce, it rarely attacks people.
"Is this fish worth anything?" someone asked.
Tang Dashan also wanted to know very much, and the booklet did not introduce what the price of this fish was.
In fact, this kind of fish is rarely put on the table, it is really rare, and the people who eat this kind of fish are some rich people who are greedy for freshness and buy it with a lot of money to eat.
Ordinary people, even if they see it, that is, they look around, few people who really buy it have the guts.
In folklore, this fish is called the earthquake fish, or the messenger of the Dragon Palace. As long as you are a little superstitious, you won't buy it and eat it, right?
In Japan, there are many earthquakes, and people in the past would panic when they saw this fish. They believe that because they live in the deep sea, they can predict the arrival of earthquakes.
Of course, even if no one eats it, the research experts will want it. This fish is very valuable for research, and it is meaningful to make a specimen.
"I don't know, I'll ask later. Tang Dashan said.
Say hello to the fishing boat on the opposite side, prepare to tow two nets at the end, and go back. This trip can be regarded as a full return, although it did not get rich overnight.
"It's a pity! The cabin is almost full. Tang Dachuan is still not very satisfied.
Most of these catches are not very valuable seafood, and they are just pulled back to make oil money, and there is nothing left at all. Other high-quality seafood is their source of income.
"Nothing to be ashamed of. This trip, we didn't give up our capital, and we made some money, so we had a head. In the future, deep-sea fishing shows that we can still do it. Tang Dashan said.
Before he came, he listened to those tourists brag, now that marine resources are becoming more and more scarce, many fishermen have no way out, and many boatmen have lost their money, so they have sold their fishing boats and then changed careers.
That is, in their Tangjia Village, the fishing industry has just emerged, and many ports have declined.
"Everybody take a break, let people prepare the meal, and everyone eats this meal. How much of those greens are left? Let everyone go and eat. ”
After coming out, the resources of green vegetables are the most lacking on fishing boats. You can't prepare too much of this kind of material, and it will get in the way.
Therefore, within a few days of coming out, everyone's desire for green vegetables is very high, but every meal is so one person, two or three clips, and there is no more. (To be continued......)
