130. Net fishing

Rice fish, also known as catfish, belongs to the totoaba family of perch, and looks very similar to sea bass.

They are abundant in the East China Sea, with the lunar calendar from June to August as the fishing season, and July as the current peak flood, when the rice fish produced are the most fat.

The same is totoaba fish, rice fish and large and small yellow croaker, yellow lip fish and other meat quality is similar, the same meat is delicious, nutritious, is also a fish with high economic value.

However, compared with the wild yellow croaker and other similar species known as the marine gold mine, the price of wild rice fish is much cheaper, and the market price is usually about 100 yuan per catty.

Now the price of rice fish will be more expensive, a pound can be sold for 150 yuan, because the rice fish produced in these two months is the most abundant, and the time is in the closed sea ban period, there are few fresh rice fish in the market.

After determining the identity of these fish, Ao Muyang became interested.

Rice fish do not like to live in large groups, so the chance of catching them at sea is not large, and they are scarce and expensive, which gradually increases their value.

With a twist of the submersible, he quickly surfaced, and the fishing boat was not far away.

After he entered the water, he fixed the direction and speed of the fishing boat, and then changed it to autopilot, so the two sides kept their positions in sync in the sea.

When he surfaced, he pointed to the stern of the boat and whistled, and the general jumped down with the net in his mouth, and wagged his tail vigorously to send the huge net over.

After getting the fishing net, Ao Muyang kissed the general and let go of the submersible and began to deploy the fishing net.

Rice fish should be caught at night, they belong to the warm temperate bottom marine fish, they prefer the water depth is 10 to 70 meters, sinking during the day and floating at night.

At this time, the fish stayed at the bottom of the sea, and Ao Muyang estimated that the water depth here was about 40 meters, and his fishing net was not large enough, and the boat's capacity was not good enough to trawl fishing.

So after thinking about it, he decided to use the method of net fishing to deal with this school of fish.

Fishing generally uses fishing rods, fishing lines and hooks, Ao Muyang does not use these, he uses a fishing net.

Jumping into the water, he scattered the nets to let them unfold naturally, and then drove the boat back on his own, looking for a school of squid that he had encountered in front of him.

Rice fish are predatory fish with a ferocious temperament, feeding on small fish, shut-in-japods, and cephalopods.

Finding a school of squid, he fished with another small net on the boat, spread it and covered it with the net, and then caught some squid.

In addition, he saw that there was a lot of sediment on the bottom of the sea in this area, so he went to the boat and took a bucket down, filled it with sediment on the bottom of the sea, and after several dives up and down, he accumulated some sediment on the stern of the boat.

After a busy day, he returned to the sea where the fish were located.

The small schools of fish did not leave, and still did a slow swimming and predatory posture on the bottom of the sea.

Seeing this, Ao Muyang adjusted the angle of the unfolded fishing net so that it stretched in the direction of the waves, and the waves advanced from south to north, and he arranged the fishing net in the north of the position of the fish.

The general came to help, he pulled one corner of the net, the general held the other, and then swam in an east-west direction, spreading the net completely.

After arranging it, he got on the boat and sprinkled the dug up sediment, so that the surrounding sea soon became muddy.

After sprinkling the mud and sand, he threw all the squid he had caught, and when everything was done, he reloaded the thruster and dived to the bottom of the sea.

The school of rice fish, which had been swimming slowly on the bottom of the sea, was in a commotion, and they were excited to find food in a murky water.

Ao Muyang used to read a book called "Atlas of the East China Sea", and the introduction of rice fish on it is: like to inhabit turbid water, can make a sound with a swim bladder, and is fierce.

He has now created a turbid sea and prepared food for them, not afraid that they will not take the bait.

This is called net fishing, where the food of the target fish is the bait, the fishing line is the fishing line that creates the environment it likes, and the fishing net is the hook!

Schools of fish float in a tumultuous motion, then scramble to attack in the murky waters, swallowing fresh squid into their mouths.

When the fish were almost over predation, Ao Muyang suddenly grabbed the submersible and floated up from the bottom of the sea, rushing towards the fish from the north.

Frightened, the fish noticed a threat from the north and swam south together in the direction of the current.

At this time, they are not on the bottom of the sea, but in the surface waters, and the nets block their way from the south, and the rice fish 'quack' and rush forward, and finally rush into the nets......

When they fall into the fishing net, they are immediately entangled, and a spectacular scene occurs underwater: dozens of large fish more than half a meter old writhing and struggling in the water, tearing and entanglement huge fishing nets, becoming a mess.

This is the cost of fishing, and every time a big fish is caught, it causes damage to the nets.

Then Ao Muyang doesn't have to worry about it, no matter how strong he is, he doesn't have the strength of dozens or hundreds of rice fish, now all he has to do is wait patiently and wait for them to consume each other's strength.

If the school of rice fish swims in one direction, the nets will not trap them, they will be carried away, and sooner or later they will loosen and let them escape.

But they can't have such intelligence, and when they fall into the net, they fight and struggle on their own. There are stress points in each direction, and the forces cancel each other out and consume each other, and eventually they are exhausted, and that is when the fishermen harvest.

Ao Muyang absorbed the water vapor in the seawater, the golden pill gradually grew, the rice fish gradually became weak, and when the struggle was almost gone, he collected his troops and went home.

Rice fish is not a rare seafood, but this is the forbidden period, and fresh wild rice fish is still quite rare, so Ao Muyang called Land Rover to trade.

He headed in the direction of the Red Ocean, and a speedboat caught up with him not long after.

The speedboat was all white, with a red shield badge around four ears of wheat on it, with a large, four, small and five stars on it, and an anchor with four words written on the side of the boat: Marine Surveillance.

After the speedboat appeared, a radio sounded above: "Please slow down the ship in front, please slow down the ship in front, this is the inspection ship of the Oceanic Administration of the People's Republic of China, please slow down and accept the inspection!"

Ao Muyang knew that this was a collision with the SH police, so he cooperated to slow down and prepare his documents.

There were four capable policemen on the speedboat, and when the two boats approached, one policeman saluted sharply: "Hello, comrade, what are you doing?"

Ao Muyang said: "I am a fisherman in Qiantan Town, and I caught some fish, which I am going to send to sell. ”

"Please show your ID!"

Ao Muyang handed over his ID card and the certificate of the boat going to sea, and added a copy of the "Indicators of Fishing Boat Net Tools".

The coast guard glanced at it and asked, "What about the household registration book of the ship going to sea?"

According to the provisions of the Fishery Law of the People's Republic of China, fishermen go to sea to fish with at least three certificates, one is the household registration book of the vessel going to sea, which proves the legality of the vessel, the other is the certificate of the boat going to sea, which is the legality of the person going to sea, and the second is the ID card, which proves that the existence of the person is legal.

I don't know whose fishing boat Ao Muyang is driving, how can he have the household registration book of the ship going to sea?

He has a boat permit, and the children in Longtou Village will apply for this certificate together when they apply for an ID card, because they may follow their parents to go to sea to fish at any time.

In this way, he was a little embarrassed.
