281 seafood feast
At 10 a.m., the sun rises and the fiery red sun shines on the water, bringing a hint of warmth, and the surface of the sea rises in temperature, allowing a large number of fish to float. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Salvage boats move at high speed, cleaving the waves off the coast of Somalia and heading northeast, while nine fishing boats stand side by side in a straight line on the sea.
It was unimaginable for other crew members to lock on to the fish so quickly, and in just two hours, only 70 kilometers from the port, they found the fish?
"Keep the boats up speed and get ready to cast their nets!"
Ling Zhengjun sat in the wheelhouse, his eyes kept going back and forth between the sea surface in the front window and the sonar screen, staring at the fish sea area that was getting closer and closer, and ordered to prepare to get the net down.
This school of fish is very large, very dense, generally relatively small, obviously sardines, migrating westward at a very high speed, within 500×20×300 meters, at least 100,000 fish, hundreds of tons!
"Looks like it's supposed to be herring. "Jena and the other little black boys discussed and studied the sonar data, and they all agreed that it should be herring, and it must be herring.
Herring is an important economic fish, and its density of fish is unparalleled, and it can be said that it is the most abundant fish in the world, and the number is very huge!
It is good at adjusting the light, so that the fish body can smoothly enter a variety of different depths of the water layer, so as to obtain a very colorful food line, to achieve high-speed reproduction.
The disruption of fishing in Somalia in recent years has led to an alarming increase in the number of these fish, and the density is very alarming! Herring swim in dense schools in spectacular and dense clusters.
Of course, they are invisible to the naked eye, and these schools of fish prefer cold water with temperatures below 10°C, so they follow the food-rich currents and appear in Somalia.
The little black boys stared at the sonar monitor, and Mayor Zaev was also very engaged, looking at the analog image seriously, as if he could understand it, Jena reminded:
"It's 2,800 meters away, and the fish haven't dispersed yet!"
"It is estimated that 120,000 pieces/270 tons or so. ”
"It should be a herring, a typical sardine. ”
The intelligent sonar detection system can accurately calculate various detection data, and digital/analog/intelligent display of relevant data, which the little blackboys have learned before.
"Oh my God! this school of fish is not small..."
"Of course it's not small, it should be said to be very big!"
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and Ling Zhengjun once again issued an order to the fleet: check the nets, immediately throw the fishing nets after hearing the order, and continue to disperse and accelerate forward.
Ten boats side by side, 200 meters apart, large trawls can be intensively coordinated, fishing depth of 200 meters, U-shaped net pockets to separate and bind fish, can catch about 60%.
If nothing else, there will be a good harvest!
Although the price of herring is not expensive, the sales market for marine fish is quite good, and hundreds of tons are there!
Ling Zhengjun is very cautious, success or failure depends on himself, he must be careful, the distance of the net cannot be far, otherwise the fish may be scared away, and the fishing net cannot be stretched too close.
1000-1200 meters is the most suitable, but also to pay attention to the movement of the fish, if there is a tendency to disperse, immediately arrange for the net to outflank in advance, but generally not.
According to the habits of sardines, they will gather in a group when they encounter a threat, confusing large predators, and the frightening distance of engine noise is about 1000m.
The little black boys are in the wheelhouse, operating the electric winch and sonar detection system, excited and eager to try, ready to throw the stern fishing nets and more than a dozen cubic meters of net bags.
"It's 1300 meters away now!"
"1200 meters away..."
"Attention boats, start casting nets!"
Ling Zhengjun gave an order, and the crew of the fishing boat, which had been beaten with chicken blood, began to act, and replied "received" one after another, and then advanced with maximum horsepower and threw the net at a speed of 25 knots.
The meaning of one section is ---1 nautical mile / hour, and the nautical mile is equivalent to 1.852 kilometers per hour, which is 1.852 km/h, which is the speed of one section, which is usually used for maritime counting.
25 knots is about 46km/h, and with such a high speed of throwing the net, it can be quickly dispersed, and it can reach the sea area of fish in two minutes, which is quite a test of reaction.
The speed of the ten boats was slightly different, but the whole was able to keep moving neatly, and on the sparkling sea, ten white waves were rowed, and the trawls were all diverted into the water.
"Speed up! The fish are scattering!"
Jena saw that on the sonar screen, the fish began to move slowly towards the periphery, obviously about to run at a pace!
Ling Zhengjun, Zaev, Xiao Yue, and Little Black Zai were all engrossed in staring, looking forward to meeting with the fish, but Li Wei and Ling Yao were the only two who ran to the stern of the boat and waited for the harvest.
Luckily, the herring had not fully reacted, and the nets had arrived!
10 fishing nets intercept schools of fish 2,000 meters long/200 meters deep, catch up with the herring schools at high speed, and continue to drag the nets forward at full speed, the engine humming.
It can be clearly felt that the speed of the fishing boat is pulled down by the fishing net for at least three knots, and the harvest is definitely quite a lot, and the salvage boat must be at the most, and it should not be less than fifty tons.
"Collect the net! All units close the net!"
Ling Zhengjun breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and ordered, and notified the fishing boat to start collecting the nets, and the remaining fish escaped, and the fleet dragged forward for five kilometers, and there were no more fish that missed the net.
"Allah is above, there are too many fish in this net!"
"Fuck, shit, the winch won't pull. ”
"We have several tons on board too!" In the radio communication channel, the black uncles all exploded, and the atmosphere was quite lively.
For them, it was impossible to have such a bumper harvest when they were caught sporadically before! It was unheard of to harvest ten tons of sardines at one time, which was unimaginable~
The reason why the record was broken this time was because the teamwork was better, and the intensive net interception successfully intercepted 55---60% of the fish in this large fish, with a total of 120 tons estimated by the black girl Yana and 50 tons by the salvage boat.
Other fishing boats are 4-10 tons, with an average of eight tons, and some fishing boats have insufficient winch power, and it takes great effort to get them, a huge net of sardines.
"It seems that luck is good, the start is good!" Xiao Yue said with a happy smile, a hundred tons on the Internet, the wholesale price is about 200,000 US dollars, and the efficiency of making money is not low.
"Distant-water fishing is really profitable. "Somalia is rich in fishery resources, there are no large fishing companies, thanks to pirates to scare away poaching fishing boats, cheap Li Wei and them.
Zaev, Li Wei, Ling Yao, and the little black boy all ran to the aft deck and watched the net bag being slowly pulled up from the sea by a winch, which was more than a dozen cubic meters in size!
The winch mechanical arm at the stern stretches up to a height of 20 meters to lift 50T sardines, which is absolutely spectacular, and the net bag is a big lump of black, black and white and white, mainly sardines.
Of course, there are also a small number of other fish such as sea bass, bonito, and mackerel, which average about 2 kg per fish.
