Chapter 345: The Yellow Croaker King

"Master Huo, keep going, this is the place where the cold current of the thousand islands and the warm current of Japan meet, although it is not the central point, the fish are also very rich. Wei Hang said.

In fact, the Japan Warm Current is part of the Pacific Current, which runs from the northern part of Taiwan Island, the East China Sea, the Yellow Sea, and the Bohai Sea to the Tohoku Sea of Japan, and meets the Kuril Stream down the Bering Strait.

This is one of the reasons why there are many fishing grounds in this area, and the Hokkaido fishery is known as the world's largest fishing ground, which directly forms the culture of eating fish in Japan.

The alternation of cold and warm currents, alternating between surface and bottom water, brings nutrients from the deep sea to the surface, and plankton proliferates and grows, providing sufficient food for fish, thus forming a world-class fishing ground.

In fact, there is another list of the world's four major fisheries in terms of the impact of ocean currents on fishing grounds: Hokkaido fisheries formed by the Japanese Warm Current and the Kuril Cold Current, Newfoundland fisheries formed by the Gulf Stream and Labrador Current, North Sea fisheries formed by the North Atlantic Current and the East Greenland Current, and Peruvian fisheries formed by the Peruvian Cold Current as upwelling currents.

It can be seen that the ocean currents directly determine the distribution of fishing grounds. Of course, there are other reasons as well.

They are also all located in the shallow waters of the coastal continental shelf, where land runoff brings abundant nutrients, because the shallow sea is sunny and conducive to biological growth, and because of the exploitation of the oceans by humans.

"You're so laid-back, go cast your nets. Wei Hang said to Wei Hai's group.

They were watching the video of the whale shark battle recorded by Zhao Wenchang with great interest.

"You don't need to go to the net. Wei Hai said reluctantly, he hadn't seen it yet.

"Okay, then wait for you to collect the nets, and take care of all the fish by the way. Daniel Zhang, Fang Zhen and the others said, and went to cast the net.

Wei Hai doesn't care, classifying the fish is a heavy job, thinking you don't need to help later?

"It's a pity that Cheng Dao'an didn't come, show him this video. He must be, what is there to study on the island. Muzi said cheaply.

Other people are speechless, and people haven't offended you, is it necessary to ridicule people like this?

"Veteran Guard, they've closed the net over there, let's go over and see what we get. Gu Yanji quickly changed the subject.

When Zhao Wenchang heard this, he stopped talking to him, and walked to the stern of the boat together, and before he arrived, he heard the cheers from everyone.

"It's a big yellow croaker, so many! We must have encountered the autumn flood. This is a school of fish that go to shallow waters to spawn. Gu Yanji said excitedly.

Zhao Wenchang walked up and saw a net full of big yellow fish, only mixed with a few other fish and shrimp and crabs, not to mention six or seven thousand catties.

"This opportunity is not easy to encounter, let's go down the net a few more times, fill the boat, everyone work hard!" It seems that the bonus has not been paid for a long time, and Weihang began to pay benefits to the crew.

He knows that the big yellow croaker is from April to June. It will spawn offshore to form a spring flood, and there are also large yellow croakers spawning in September and October to form an autumn flood, but the number is not so much.

But. Compared with the spring flood, its output is small, and the price is relatively high.

Everyone quickly cleaned the fish in the net and lowered the net again.

"Listen to the voice. The size of the fish is not small, hurry up, catch them all. Gu Yanji urged.

During the reproductive season. The large yellow croaker can make a loud noise to communicate between schools of fish and gather together. Experienced fishermen can judge the size of the fish, the water layer and the location of the fish based on their voices, and target the netting for fishing.

These big yellow croakers of more than one catty, if they are wild, are usually sold for four or five hundred yuan a catty. Of course, this is the landing price, and the market price may soar to seven or eight hundred, and when it comes to high-end restaurants and hotels, it must exceed 1,000.

"Are they all wild?" asked Muzi and the others.

The difference between wild and farmed is too big, and the breeding is dozens of dollars a catty, and the price of wild has increased more than tenfold.

It is this huge gap that there will always be shoddy in the market, fake instead of true, and fake wild farms, which is not surprising, and there are often news.

Although it is far from the coastline, it is inevitable that there will be seine farms escaping, which are semi-wild fish, but in essence they are far away.

"Almost all of them are wild. Zhao Wenchang said with confidence.

Compared with farmed large yellow croaker, the wild large yellow croaker has a larger head shape, a thinner tail stalk, and a golden and shiny body color, and a fish swim bladder spit out from the mouth. The farmed large yellow croaker is only about 1 kilogram at most, and those that exceed this size are generally wild.

In addition, the meat of the chilled yellow croaker is firm and elastic, and the flesh of the wild yellow croaker after freezing and thawing is soft and generally inelastic. This method is not suitable for the current identification.

Zhao Wenchang pointed to one of them, which was about five catties by visual inspection, which was already very rare.

With such a large yellow croaker, it is almost certainly wild. And since it is mixed in this group of yellow croaker, it is likely that this group is all wild, which is a speculation and often very accurate.

"The head is big and the tail is thin, do you see, authentic wild yellow croaker. Gu Yanji also spoke.

At this time, Master Huo also interjected: "You see that it spits out fish bladders, it is almost wild." This kind of fish is farmed and wild, and it is not difficult to distinguish between it and some of its characteristics. ”

Master Huo is the oldest, and what he says is easy to convince, and everyone else nods.

"It's worth more than a pound. Gu Yanji said.

Wei Hang nodded, he just picked more than one catty, those who were less than a catty, and those who were still alive, he let people throw them back into the sea immediately.

Everyone has long been accustomed to his approach.

Next, another net was dragged. This net was much less, and when I dragged it up, I found that the net was actually broken and a big hole was torn open.

Wei Hang couldn't cry or laugh, needless to say, it must have been a good thing done by the sea lions.

For fishermen, sea lions are as annoying as rats. This sea beast was salvaged and not collected, and I didn't hear who would eat sea lions. But it's hateful to come and make trouble every time, tear your fishing nets, and then get inside to eat and run away.

"! There's a hole in here. Is it going out and opening another door?" Tang Dehui scolded.

Everyone looked towards the sea and found a sea lion rolling on the sea, looking very proud, which made the people on the boat a little crazy. This is clearly "I stole something, I am here, what can you do with me?".

"The manta ray didn't come along, otherwise it would have looked good. Daniel Zhang said with a toothache.

Indeed, manta rays are so scary that sharks have to walk around when they get angry. The sea lions, which are used as shark rations, are naturally incomparable.

"It can't be helped! If it can't get rid of it here, no amount of fishing nets will be enough to spoil it. Wei Hai said.

Wei Hang can only use the power of Haizhu to warn that guy, don't make trouble, you make trouble for me, and then I will have to trouble you.

Haizhu can transmit the idea of Weihang to the minds of marine animals through special means, and sea lions, as one of the intelligent sea creatures, can naturally understand.

It was stunned for a moment, and then obediently sank into the sea.

"Leave it alone, go ahead, change the net. "There are several spare fishing nets on board, and there are also various sizes, just to deal with all kinds of accidents.

Next, it may be because of the storage of sea lions, so that the large yellow croaker fish are scattered, and large-scale fishing is a bit problematic.

dragged up a net again, and after scattering it, everyone's eyes lit up.

Among them, Gu Yanji and Zhao Wenchang have already rushed forward.

It was a huge big yellow croaker, and it was more than ten catties by visual inspection. Perhaps, the ten-pound big yellow croaker is also a shark's mouthpiece, but it grows so big, in the big yellow croaker family, this fish is almost an elder-level depository.

"Damn, are you going to grab everything from me?" the two of them had no manners, one caught the head and the other caught the fishtail, which made the people around them very puzzled.

Please, you're also people with status, don't you want to be a shrew?

"Give me this tail, and how about I give you one percent of the other big yellow croaker?" Zhao Wenchang immediately spoke.

"No, change it, do you agree?" Gu Yanji saw that a few fish scales were taken off the fish, and he was distressed.

Wei Hang has a little headache, and the appearance of this kind of superb is also a big trouble.

The price of wild yellow croaker has a lot to do with the weight of large yellow croaker, more than 1 catty of wild yellow croaker, the current price is about 700 to 750 yuan per catty; more than 2 catties, it is almost about 2000 yuan per catty, and so on, 5 catties of 5 catties of 5000 yuan per catty, 6 catties of 6000 yuan per catty, more than 7 catties, the price will rise to 8000 yuan per catty.

More than eight catties is already a rare "antique", and this tail is more than ten catties, Weihang doesn't know how to measure it.

He knew that some time ago, a fisherman was lucky enough to catch a big yellow croaker weighing almost seven catties, and he sold it for a sky-high price of 1670,000 yuan.

"What are you fighting for? Wait a minute, just catch another one?" Fang Zhen couldn't look at it, so he said.

"You know a fart! can you catch something that big like this?" Gu Yanji scolded.

Zhao Wenchang explained that there are very few wild yellow croakers of more than 5 catties now, and the entire market cannot sell 100 a year. There are even fewer of those above 7 catties, and there are no more than dozens of them a year in the country. Now, he dares to guarantee that there will be no ten in the country.

Okay, the others are a little dumbfounded, is it so rare?

"Don't argue yet, put the fish down and place it, and you can fight slowly." Wait a minute, that big yellow croaker is going to die. Wei Hang reminded.

Gu Yanji and Zhao Wenchang looked at it, and the two of them hurriedly worked, one caught fish, one person brought a big bucket, loaded water, etc., and the cooperation was seamless, and the opposing state just now disappeared without a trace, and Weihang and a group of people all rolled their eyes.
