Chapter 199: Masu Tuna
Masu tuna is not produced much in Hokkaido, but Shuichi Minamino remembers that it is one of the best tuna for making sashimi!
There are 6 species with greater economic value, including bluefin tuna, masu tuna, bigeye tuna, yellowfin tuna, albacore tuna, and bonito, among which bluefin tuna, masu tuna, bigeye tuna, and yellowfin tuna are raw materials for sashimi, albacore tuna and bonito are mainly used as raw materials for canned tuna, but albacore tuna is also used to make sashimi.

In terms of tuna species, the quality of sashimi from high to low is bluefin tuna, masu tuna, bigeye tuna and yellowfin tuna. Bluefin tuna and massu tuna are produced in lower quantities and have a very high price, and the common tuna fillets are made from bigeye tuna and yellowfin tuna.
From here, it can be seen that the Masu tuna ranks second among many tuna, which is enough to see how good its quality is.
Adult massu tuna can reach up to 2 meters and weigh more than 150 kilograms.
Shuichi Minamino commanded the fleet to kill the Masu tuna fish, and at the same time, he also switched his vision to observe the movement of the school of fish in advance.
Soon he saw a school of fish foraging in the area ahead, and the tuna were big and eating a lot. Since they swim fast, they consume a lot of energy and eat more. If the tuna stops swimming, it will suffocate, because the tuna always opens its mouth when swimming, so that the water flows through the gills and absorbs oxygen to breathe, so it can only continue to swim at high speed throughout its life, even at night, it does not rest, but only slows down the swimming speed and reduces metabolism.
It was seen that the body of these masu tuna was spindle-shaped, and the highest point of the body was near the center of the base of the first dorsal fin. There are swim bladders. The inferior and ventral surfaces are silvery-white, with colorless cross-cutting lines arranged by colorless dots. The first dorsal fin is yellow or blue; anal and distal fins dull yellow, margins black; When an adult, the central tail keel ridge is yellow.
"A colorful fish!" At first glance, this is the first feeling of Nagano Shu Minamino when he looks at them, there are blue, yellow, and black!
The fishing boat approached the top of the Masu tuna, and some of the tuna was just a meter or two below the water, so someone on the fishing boat spotted them.
"Tuna!haha...... It's tuna, and there's tuna here. "The first thing I found was Tanimura Ueno. After discovering it, I was excited to report it loudly.
"Boss, you found tuna, come and see. ”
As soon as Minamino Shu heard the shouting, he walked over quickly, poked his head out to look, and sure enough, he could see that the northern part of the masu tuna could be seen under the water, and it was yellow or blue.
"Hey, is it a bluefin tuna? It's blue on its back. Ishida said in amazement.
"There are also yellow-backed ones, and there are also yellowfin tuna!"
"Haha...... I see these two kinds of tuna mixed together, no matter what kind of fish, let's go to the net first. Nanmu Noguchi said with a smile.
"This is Masu tuna, illiterate!" said Minamino Shuyi, who glanced at the two of them angrily.
"The other three fishing boats followed, and we, the Falcon, trawled and tried to take them away in one wave. "Minamino Shu is humane to a few.
"Yes, boss. ”
Needless to say, the other three fishing boats didn't need to shoot at all, and the Falcon trawler could just be dispatched.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The diesel engine was at its maximum power, and the trawl had been lowered into the sea, and under the impact of two steel supports and the seawater, the 400-metre circumference trawl pounced on the masu tuna.
This time, Shuichi Minamino personally went to the top of the boat and held a telescope to observe the fish, but in fact, he was pretending to be like this. His real situation was to check the fish with a switching vision, and then report it to the old man Kimura who was driving the boat, asking him which direction to drive.
Once a trawler has lowered its trawl, whether or not it can successfully catch fish is directly related to the person who drives the fish! If the fishing boat deviates from the fish in the place it passes, it will not be able to catch anything.
"To the left, 8°! After a minute, continue to deviate 10° to the left!" said Minamino Shuya, and someone below naturally conveyed it to the old man Kimura who was driving the boat.
An hour later, the school of masu tuna had been slowly dragged onto the deck.
Shuichi Minamino commanded the scene, and the old man Oda was always responsible for the tuna bloodletting treatment, and everyone was tacitly understanding. Today, no one wants to eat tuna sashimi anymore because they are tired of eating them all.
If it had been some time ago, every time they caught a school of tuna, these guys would cry and shout and beg Shuichi Minamino to make sashimi for a tuna to eat. Now, I've eaten more than 20 times in more than a month, and I'm tired of them all one by one.
I don't know if I will be killed in the future if I say this. It's so extravagant that the rich of later generations don't dare to say that they get tired of eating tuna sashimi!
"Boss, when will our next vegetable and fruit supplies arrive?" asked Ishida Yui to Shuichi Minamino. They hadn't eaten vegetables for two weeks. Even the fruit is now eaten by two people a day!
"Don't worry, wait another two weeks for next month's supply, and then you can have a big meal!" said Minamino Shuyi. At this time, he was a little nostalgic for the pickles and radishes in his previous life.
Now, in addition to eating kelp, seaweed and other seaweeds every day, I can only rely on oranges. But oranges are eaten by a group of people, and each person does not get much every day.
"Two more weeks!" Ishida looked bitter with a bitter face.
"Sir, did you say that the last letter we sent home arrived?" asked one of the sailors.
"I think it's about the same, don't worry, they'll definitely help deliver it to your house. Minamino Shuichi waved his hand.
"When my family sees those pictures, they will be very happy, and they won't worry about me when they see my photos. The sailor's wrinkled face smiled brightly.
"Ding-dong...... Due west, 5 nautical miles from the host, schools of flounder were found with coordinates of 144.2 longitude and 42.1 latitude. The number of fish is 1033. ”
Listening to the system's prompts, Shuichi Minamino plans to go to the location of the flounder fish to catch them. Anyway, now he collects all kinds of fish!
Flounders generally inhabit the sandy bottom of shallow seas and prey on small fish and shrimp. They are particularly well adapted to benthic life on the seabed. Due to their flat body. Both eyes are on the side of the body facing upwards, and the color on this side works well with the surroundings; Their body is white on the downward-facing side. Flounders have extremely fine scales on the surface of their bodies. Flounders have only one dorsal fin that extends almost from the head to the caudal fin. They mainly live in temperate waters and are important economic fish in temperate waters.
The fishing of Masu tuna has been completed just now, and the field is currently busy bleeding the caught tuna, and it is estimated that it will be completed in an hour. But it doesn't stop him from catching other fish.
Shuichi Minamino personally drove the fishing boat and led the four fishing boats to their destination.
When he was about to reach his destination, Shuichi Minamino knew that this area belonged to a shallow sea by looking around, and it was estimated that it was the marginal sea of this ocean basin. The deepest seafood here is only 50 meters deep, and the shallowest is just over 1 meter deep!
You have to be careful with fishing boats in this place, as it won't be fun if you hit the rocks. But with the old driver of Shuichi Minamino, he must be fine. Fishing in such shallow waters is best done by trawler. Because of such shallow sea water, the trawl net can be dragged directly to the bottom of the sea, and even the shrimp, crabs, and snails on the bottom of the sea can be collected! This situation is really where the trawl passes, and there is no grass at all.
"Kimura, go and inform Ishida Yu, they immediately put down the trawl, there is a shallow sea in front of them, there must be a lot of fish and shrimp. Let's drag a net!"
"Yes!" the old man Kimura did not doubt him. The shallow sea and the deep sea can be seen at a glance because the colors are different. The water in front of it looks light, and it must be shallow.
Generally, there are many small schools of fish and shrimp in shallow waters, because there must be a lot of plankton in shallow waters.
Soon, the trawl with a circumference of 400 meters was lowered to the back of the fishing boat.
Shuichi Minamino switched his vision to look at the direction where the flounder was, and rushed straight towards it.
At this time, the water here is only 30 meters deep. The bottom of the trawl was scraped directly onto the mud and rocks at the bottom of the sea. The fish, shrimp, crab and snail on the bottom of the sea had no chance to escape, so they were scraped into the fishing net.
From time to time, some coral reefs, rocks, etc. are hung at the low end of the trawling nets, but under the huge towing of the fishing boats, they are all scraped, and some coral reefs will be scratched. Even a layer of loose rock face has been scraped off.
This marine trawl is unusually sturdy, and the bottom layer is loaded with alloy wires and together. This is to take into account the need to scrape rocks, reefs, riverbeds, coral reefs, and other hard and sharp things during shallow sea trawling.
Although the trawls used in ocean fishing are strong and tough, they still have a chance of being scratched. Usually the sailors would take out the trawl nets and sew them up when they had nothing to do, and every fisherman would do this kind of thing.
"Hey, the water is so shallow!" The sailors on the deck noticed that the water was relatively shallow nearby, and it was clearly a shallow sea.
"There are so many small fish here, you see those seawater floating over there, and there are fish in their names!"
"See, I'm going down for a swim!" said one of the sailors. In the deep sea they rarely choose to swim, in the shallow sea they always feel a little more confident.
Shuichi Minamino's fishing boat has reached the top of the school of flounder, and the trawl net has already loomed over the school of flounder.
The trawl caused a storm at the bottom of the sea, and the mud was scraped off everywhere it passed, and the water on the bottom of the sea was muddy anyway. (To be continued.) )
