A few days later, Minamino's fishing fleet finally reached its destination, where the Barents Sea and the Greenland Sea meet. Before he got closer, he heard a crazy prompt from the system. The fish are so dense here!
Among the most heard schools of fish are herring and cod. Shuichi Minamino isn't really interested in herring, and this time he focuses on cod fishing. As the quality of cod in the Arctic Ocean is absolutely world-class.
This time, you will definitely make a lot of money by getting a batch of cod back.
"Shhh...... The Arctic Ocean is so cold! It's colder than the Hokkaido winter. On deck, Tanimura Ueno was wearing a thick padded jacket, but he was still shivering with cold. It's only February 1956, and even in Hokkaido, the snow has just stopped, and it's even snowing in some places. So it's even more so on this side of the Arctic Ocean.
At this time, this sea area is not the deep sea area of the Arctic Ocean, otherwise it is estimated that the sea surface is all frozen.
"Haha, you can bear with it, Minamino said. This season is also the best season for cod fishing. Ishida laughed. He wore seven or eight clothes, and he was bloated like a ball.
In fact, the cod fishing season is usually from December to January, but the weather in the Arctic Ocean usually lasts longer than in other places.
"The scenery here is so beautiful!" Iloti, who has always been afraid of the cold, also came out with a camera.
"Aren't you afraid of the cold?" Minamino Shuichi has an excellent physique, and this cold can still resist him.
"I'm going to shoot the Arctic Fox, Polar Bear!" Iloti waved at the other man.
I have to say that there is a beautiful animal on this side of the Arctic Ocean - the arctic fox. Its whole body hair is snow-white, and it does look like a very beautiful animal. But polar bears and arctic foxes generally live in deep glacial continents.
There are ice floes all around in front of you, and you may rarely see these guys.
"There are ice floes all around, tell them to be careful when they drive the boat, there is nothing about the small ice floes, if they hit the big ice floes, they will have to finish the game. Shuichi Minamino said to the old man Kimura.
"I know, and they do. ”
Although the sea area here is not considered the outer part of the Arctic Ocean, it is also in the middle. So there are ice floes everywhere, and if it's winter, it's all frozen. It's the end of February. If it were early February, it would probably be all ice.
"The ice floes here are so beautiful!" Iloti had never been through such a scene before. After all, she couldn't come here as an eldest lady.
"Click, click~"
She likes to take pictures, and she keeps taking pictures.
The Arctic Ocean gives Minamino Shuichi the feeling of being clean, the sea water is free of garbage, and the background is all covered in silver. Coupled with the thin mist, there is a feeling of being in a fairyland.
"Wow~ Is that polar bear standing on the ice floe in the distance?"
"Where?"
"Over there!"
"It seems to be!"
"Let's go, go over and take a picture up close. Iloti pulled Nanno's clothes and said coquettishly.
"Go, go, go, fulfill your heart's desire. Minamino said with a smile. This can be delayed for up to half an hour.
In the distance, on a piece of ice floes about 5.6 square meters in size, stands a fat and cute polar bear. This cargo doesn't seem to be afraid of people, and when it sees a big ship approaching, it just squats there, and looks at the ship with great curiosity.
"Click!"
After getting closer, Iloti kept taking pictures. She loves biology and just loves to work with animals.
"It's a pity that I didn't see the Arctic fox, Nanno, how about you say I want an Arctic fox to raise?" Iloti asked, looking at Shuichi Minamino.
"Uh~ I'll talk about it when I meet it. Shuichi Minamino touched his nose.
The rest of the way was full of thrills.
There is still a certain danger in navigating on such numerous ice floes. Small ice floes are nothing, but if you encounter a large ice floe, it will be a bit of a problem. Ice floes are drifting with ocean currents.
Fishing boats will not be stupid enough to hit the ice floe, but they are afraid that the ice floe will hit the fishing boat.
Anyway, in this kind of place, there is almost no problem with sailing during the day, but it is very dangerous to sail at night. Therefore, Shuichi Minamino's current fishing fleet is all dispatched during the day and rested at night.
"Ding-dong...... Schools of cod were found 50 nautical miles northwest from the host at longitude 160.1 and latitude 29.2. The number of fish stocks is 20,293. ”
"Ding-dong...... To the northwest, 51 nautical miles from the host, schools of cod were found......"
"Ding-dong...... To the northwest, a school of herring was found 49 nautical miles from the host......"
"Yo, there's a fishing ground formed by schools of fish ahead!" Minamino Shuichi listened to the system's prompt tone, and his heart was happy.
"Order the fleet to set off in a northwesterly direction!"
"Yes, Boss!"
"It's amazing that there are dozens or hundreds of schools of fish. After counting through the system, he found so many fish that he almost jumped up and shouted three times. In fact, in this era, the fishery resources of the Arctic Ocean were hardly fished. That's why there are a lot of fish here.
This time, Shuichi Minamino made the right bet, that is, he bet that mankind has not yet discovered and valued the fishery resources of the Arctic Ocean.
It is estimated that in another ten or twenty years, this place will be valued by Canadians.
Due to the presence of ice floe, the fleet did not travel fast.
After arriving at the destination, the fish-searching instruments of each fishing boat and various radar equipment discovered the movements of those fish schools under the seabed.
"Fish, fish!"
"That's a lot of fish!"
"President, trawler No. 1 sent a message that several large schools of fish had been found, and they asked to act on their own. ”
"Report to the president, the No. 16 fishing boat sent a message that fish were found ......"
"Okay, all go it alone, there are too many ice floes in this kind of place, which is not suitable for joint fishing. Minamino waved his hand.
"Yes. ”
And just like that, the fishing operation began.
Shuichi Minamino checked it with the system and found that most of the fish were cod fish. It was right in his arms.
"No wonder there are so many schools of fish here. The currents here are obviously colliding, and there must be a lot of plankton, which is why there are so many fish. "Shuichi Minamino switched his vision to observe the situation below the water, and found that there were two currents here, so there were always so many fish here.
