Chapter 248: The Habits of Fish

The days of sailing at sea are boring, and the fishing boats are not like the kind of large luxury passenger liners. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 There are a variety of recreational facilities on board the INFO passenger liner. There are restaurants, cabaret halls, gambling halls, bars and much more. On the fishing boat, every day is either sleeping or sleeping.

Fortunately, Shuichi Minamino has just received Yukina Sakai, and I can have an in-depth chat with them about my life ideals in the evening.

Now Shuichi Minamino is lying on a chair, Ami Inoue is rubbing his shoulders, and Yukina Sakai is washing her feet. Although this kind of circular life is a little boring, it can be regarded as a small enjoyment.

In addition to them, at this time, there is also Yagyu Aoko who is helping Minamino Shuichi rub his legs, and Yagyu Masako is cutting tea for him. The four sisters serving him together made him feel as sour as if he were an emperor.

If Inoue Ami and Sakai Yukina are his concubines, then Masako Aoko is his slave.

"Brother Xiuyi, your tea is cut, do you want to drink it now or later?" Masako stepped on the lotus step and came over with a cup of hot tea.

"Drink it now, of course. Minamino said with a smile.

These two twin sisters have been unusually diligent in everything they have done since they were adopted by him, and there is not a single 'no' word for what he tells them! In their eyes, Shuichi Minamino is their savior. If it weren't for him, I guess they would all be doing the comforter's work by now.

After following Shuichi Minamino, they not only had a full meal, but also had new clothes to wear, and they could eat meat until they wanted to vomit. They used to not eat meat more than a few times a year.

As for washing dishes, cooking, and cleaning on fishing boats, this kind of work is many times easier than the work they used to do! Anyway, they feel that Minamino Shuichi takes care of them like their own brother.

After more than half a month of such corrupt days, Shuichi Minamino's fleet and Dennis's fleet finally came from Hokkaido to the tropical ocean of the South Pacific.

When he came here, he found that there were a lot of fish in the tropical waters. Especially in this winter, many winter, migratory, and warm ocean fish basically take refuge in the tropical ocean.

Since entering the tropical ocean, he has been systematically alerted to schools of fish, tuna, sailfish, whales, and all kinds of warm-ocean fish here. He couldn't count the number of types anyway.

This time, the oil supply ship for the distant-water fishing was also provided by the British Fishing Company. Just like the last time, he doesn't have to worry about running out of oil and transporting the fish he catches.

Minamino Shuichi thought that after his fleet expanded a little more, he would be able to hire some oil supply ships and so on to serve him alone. As for the purchase, it is not needed at the moment.

Large fuel supply ships and transports like this are unusually expensive, several thousand tons each. At present, the British Fisheries Company's oil supply ships and transport ships are employed by those transport companies.

"Ding-dong...... A school of fin whales was found 80 nautical miles from the host due south, with coordinates of 149.3 longitude and 42.2 latitude. The number of fish is 10. ā€

"Jujo, that's a lot!" Nanno Shuichi sighed, but unfortunately it was too far away from him. Otherwise, he could try to see how well his whaling vessel worked. Speaking of which, this fishing boat has not yet started its first operation.

"I believe that specialized whaling fishing vessels should not let themselves down. ā€

When Shuichi Minamino came here, he found a piece of information that shocked him, that is, there are a lot of whales in the tropical sea during this winter. The whale fishing has only been around for a long time. There are still a lot of whales in the ocean, and they are not protected. Unlike whaling, which is against the law in later generations!

Whale fishing has become popular now, and the fishermen of the past have nothing to do with such big creatures because they are so big. However, with the development of science and technology, the tonnage of fishing boats has increased. Even professional whaling fishing boats came out.

Anyway, the whaling industry is the most developed in Hokkaido, and it won't take ten years to do it!

The commercial value of whales is high, whale meat can be eaten, whale juice can be used as a lubricant, whale oil can be used for lighting, whale offal can be used as spices, and so on.

After looking at the system, Shuichi Minamino knew that the fin whale that the system had just found belonged to a member of the baleen whale family.

Baleen cetaceans are huge, with the smallest species being more than 6 meters long. There are no teeth in the mouth, and vestigial teeth can only be seen when the embryo is developing, but there are 150-400 whiskers arranged in a comb-like pattern from the palate to the pharynx on the left and right sides of the upper jaw. The color, shape and number of whiskers vary depending on the species, which is one of the important bases for classification.

There are a total of 15 species living in the world, such as blue whales, fin whales, humpback whales, plug whales, and minke whales.

Baleen whales mostly inhabit the pelagic ocean, but rarely approach the coast, living at depths of 200-300 meters. Therefore, whaling operations must be pelagic fishing, and if you are inshore, you will definitely not encounter whales.

Most baleen whales breed in warm and tropical waters in the winter, and in the summer they feed on plankton, krill and small fish at the poles, where they make long annual north-south migrations. Bryde's whales are the only exception in the baleen whale family, which does not appear to have a clear division between foraging and breeding seasons, and some populations may not even be migratory.

With the exception of baleen whales, other whales generally migrate to high latitudes in the summer for bait and breed in warm waters in the winter. Migratory groups form small groups, sometimes large groups of more than 100 individuals. The swimming speed is fast, and the instantaneous speed can reach 30 nautical miles.

This is why there are more whale fish in tropical oceans during the winter months. Because these whales have all gone south to the tropical seas to escape the winter.

In fact, whales are similar to humans, they are mammals, and they can generally live for decades to 100 years. They are also afraid of the cold, and they will also avoid winters.

As for why humans don't avoid winter now, it's because they invented clothes, but animals don't.

Now this season comes out in tropical and temperate oceans, whales and many other fish are here. Anyway, most of the fish that don't belong to the cold zone have come to the southern hemisphere. For example, cod is a cold-current fish that can survive the winter in icy waters without migrating to the southern hemisphere in late fall.

These are all habits of fish, and many experienced fishermen look for fish according to the exchange of seasons, the intersection of cold and warm currents, and geographical location.

Every old fisherman is a living map of the ocean!
