The area around Golden Island has always been a key area for black gold abalone fishing, and more than 60% of the black gold abalone is produced from here every year. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Therefore, there are usually a lot of black gold abalone fishers here, and it is not easy to harvest the black gold abalone caught in the surrounding shallow waters.

Li Du drove the yacht out to sea, and as soon as he left the dock, he met some black gold abalone fishermen, including Cruz.

The two sides said hello, and Cruz walked over and said, "I heard you've met a liar?"

Li Du said: "I did meet a scammer, look, there is a speedboat behind my boat, that is the compensation given by the scammer." ”

"What are you doing at sea now? aren't you here to see the scenery?" Cruz wondered, "I've heard, man, that your fishing license was taken away by a scammer, right?"

Li Du said: "Yes, it is true that they lost one for me." ”

As soon as he heard this, Cruz's eyes suddenly widened: "I lost one for you? What do you mean, man?

Li Du shrugged and said: "I just got another one, God forbid, I have a few friends in the United States who have good energy, and they got me another black gold abalone fishing license." ”

Cruz looked at him in amazement and said, "The United States has so many Australian black gold abalone fishing licenses? But you don't have to buy it now, the black gold abalone fishing season is coming to an end." ”

From November to April, these six months are the fishing season for black gold abalone, and the other half of the year is not allowed to catch this rare seafood.

In addition, Cruz added: "You are really rich, the fishing license is very expensive, you can even say that you can buy it?"

Li Du put his arm around his shoulders and pointed at Hans, and said, "It's my guy who is rich, he is actually a playboy, born in the big American chaebol." ”

Cruz gasped and said, "Oh my God." ”

They chatted as they went to the pier, and some fishermen waved to the two.

Li Du and Cruz walked over, and then he saw acquaintances, and the big fat man who had come to Australia on the same flight was also here.

The two sides looked at each other, and Bruhans snorted coldly: "You're here too?"

Li Du laughed and said, "It's nice to meet again, man, no wonder you targeted me so much before, it turns out that we are competitors?"

Bruhan raised his head proudly and said disdainfully: "We are competitors? ”

One of the black fishermen said, "Hey, Bruhans, don't underestimate this guy, he and his friends are very good, and they catch quite a lot of black gold abalone." ”

There was also a fishing license with two mustaches and said sourly: "He is not ordinarily powerful, and Cruz has recently harvested quite a lot, and it is said that he has received guidance from Lee." ”

"Then why don't you point us out, Lee, can you tell me where there are still abalones?"

"Get rich together, Lee, you can't make money alone, can you?"

Bruhans touched his chin and looked at Li Du suspiciously, and said, "You have gained a lot? I really can't see it, I don't think you are a diving master." ”

Li Du felt his contempt and malice, so he smiled sharply: "I don't think you are even more like, you are swimming in the sea with your size, I'm afraid the resistance will be greater." ”

Bruhans snorted and said, "I'm not a master diver, my wife is." ”

Cruz raised his middle finger and said, "Bruhans, you really aren't a man, let your wife go into the water to catch abalone, do such a dangerous job, and you still say it is so justified?"

Fishing for black gold abalone is dangerous, and it is generally men who go into the water, and women play a supporting role.

Bruhan didn't feel ashamed, he said nonchalantly, "What's the matter? My wife is a ama, so she was born to do this, otherwise why should I marry her?"

This is a difficult thing to hear, and many fishermen give him a middle finger.

Brunhans was annoyed and said, "You can insult me at will, it's okay, I know it's jealousy, you can't find a sea lady wife!"

Li Du asked Cruz in a low voice, "What is the ama?"

Cruz wondered, "Don't you know? It's an old profession in your East Asia, where some women can dive to the bottom of the sea without a respiratory aid to catch lobsters, scallops, abalone, conch, and other seafood." ”

After listening to his brief introduction, Li Du checked the Internet on his mobile phone and found some information.

Ama are simply female fishermen who are engaged in diving fishing, and have been widely distributed in East Asia, Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia.

However, with the development of mechanical fishing and artificial breeding technology, the number of this group has shrunk significantly, and only Japan and South Korea still exist.

Every ama is a good diver, they have been trained for a long time, they are very good at freehand diving and free-diving, and they have good swimming skills and the ability to hold their breath.

These abilities combine to make them ideal for fishing for black gold abalone.

In fact, ama were originally used to catch some precious seafood, such as sea cucumber abalone, pearl oysters, and shipwreck treasures.

Not all women can become ama, ama are some special groups of people in some coastal areas of East Asia, they have a lot of subcutaneous fat, they have developed a strong body and large lung capacity since childhood, and they have the ability to control minds beyond ordinary people.

This is due to the complexity of the underwater environment and the risk of being attacked by predators such as sharks, which makes the work extremely risky, so ama are required to have calm judgment and teamwork skills.

In addition, because ama tend to dive in the inshore area and do not go to the deep sea, they are not affected by marine diseases such as diving sickness.

Without these marine diseases, they have strong physical fitness, and they eat seafood every day, which makes them often live longer than ordinary people.

In some regions, the long-lived ama have a unique place in their villages.

Unfortunately, with the application of machinery and the development of technology, the legend of the ama has become less and less.

However, after Li Du read these materials, he still felt that it was an eye-opener.

Obviously, the Japanese wife next to Bruhans on the plane at the time was a ama, and she helped him catch black gold abalone.

The group got together and chatted, and then went out to sea one after another to start the day's journey.

After Li Du's starfish 60 drove out, Brother Wolf soon said to him: "Boss, someone is following." ”

"Who?" asked Li Du casually.

It is all too common for black gold abalone fishers to follow each other, and if anyone catches a lot of fish at a certain time, others will understand that this is where the abalone school was found, and they will definitely follow the fish.

However, there were a lot of boats following Li Du, and when he looked back, more than a dozen ships were following behind Starfish 60......
