Chapter 194: Fisherman

(2nd Update!)

Due to the relatively large waves, it took Shuichi Minamino and others more than ten minutes to come to the edge of this fishing boat. Writing "Fun", the pavilion www.biquge.info followed the rope ladder, and he and Ishida Yuo climbed onto this fishing boat.

It was the first time they got on such a tall fishing boat, and several of them looked around, wanting to see how advanced the fishing machinery around this fishing boat was. Well, it's an occupational disease!

After coming up, Shuichi Minamino took the initiative to greet the Brandon people.

"Do you speak English?" Brandon was slightly startled.

"Yes. Shuichi Minamino smiled.

"Well, I'll send the telegram in English. Brandon laughed. He used to have a headache, but now it's solved.

"Absolutely!"

"Everyone is busy, so I'll briefly tell you about the next fishing plan. Brandon swallowed and continued, "Our company intends to do a three-month fishing operation in the Central Pacific now and then move to the North Pacific for another three months. For three months we fished in the waters around here. You know that, right?"

"Yes, Carol told me. Minamino Shu nodded his head to make it clear.

"Well, the central Pacific Ocean is so big, we don't fish in one place. Anyway, wherever there are many fish, you can go there. But when it comes to fishing, it's all decentralized. But we don't have to be too far away from each other in the process of dispersed fishing. In case the supply of logistics fuel will delay at that time. Our rule is that the distance between the two sides should not exceed 300 nautical miles! When the harvest is full, go back to the transport ship and let the carrier transport it back to the fishing port. There are currently two 2,000-ton carriers waiting for us in the center of our fishing range. We fish in this place for a week or two, and then maybe move to the next place. I'll let you know in advance anyway. When the time comes, we must assemble according to the time and not be left behind. ”

"Okay, no problem. ”

"This is the map, and we're fishing within a 300 nautical mile of this area. This is where the transport ship docks, right in the middle. You can just fish anywhere within a 300-nautical mile radius. When the time comes, it's up to you to see what you're capable of. With that, Brandon took a map and gave it to Shuichi Minamino.

Shuichi Minamino took it and looked at it and said OK!

"If you're in a hurry for fuel or logistics, you can come to the supply ship to get it! The supply ship and the transport ship stay here together. By the way, if the sailors or you want to write a letter home to your family, you can also hand it over to the people on the transport ship to help send it back. However, the first time it was sent back, one of the transport ships needed to be full. ”

"Okay, thank you. "Minamino Shuichi.

It was almost impossible for him to contact Miyamoto Tamako when he went to sea so many times before, because he didn't have a transport ship at that time. Now, after half a year's fishing, I can still communicate with her.

It took about another half an hour of deliberation, and that was it.

Just as Shuichi Minamino was about to go back, the George asked Shuichi Minamino, "Nanno-kun, I heard that you caught 5,000 tons of tuna last time in only 2 months, is it true?"

"Yes, all of them were sold to your company, don't you know?" said Minamino Shuichi softly, turning his head.

"I'm not in Hokkaido, I don't know. Did you last time you found a lot of tuna near the equator in the Pacific Ocean?" Apparently they also want to know.

However, this kind of thing is taboo in the industry, and such a cherished market tells you that it doesn't let the fertilizer flow into the fields of outsiders?

"A lot!" said Minamino Shuichi, and nothing else was left to say. Anyway, everyone else knows where they are fishing, so maybe they will go over next time. But they don't have the help of the system, and it's impossible to catch so much tuna by themselves!

After returning to my fishing boat, I will prepare for the next day, and I will start to disperse my fishing operations from tomorrow.

The next day, except for two transport ships and a few supply ships, the other fishing boats left the area one after another in search of suitable fish for fishing.

"Boss, which direction are we heading?" asked the old man Kimura as he set off.

"Let's go north, it's the same in either direction anyway, if you don't see the fish, you have to change directions. Shuichi Minamino pointed to the north.

And just like that, the four fishing boats set off!

Fishing, Shuichi Minamino never looks at the direction, he just needs to look at the direction of the fish prompted by the system. When he came here yesterday, he noticed that there were more fish in the northern sea. Then he went north to fish.

The fleet was sailing, an hour had passed, and so far no fish had been found. The sailors were still as bored and in a daze as ever. At this stage, everyone is reluctant to speak. Because I don't know what to say!

"Minamino-kun, the Elizabeth fishing team specializes in tuna this time, do we only catch tuna?" asked Ami Inoue.

"No, you can catch whatever you come across. In addition to sardines, herring is a cheap fish. All others are fished. Anyway, there are transport ships to transport it back. Nanno Shuichi thought about it and said. Although tuna is the most expensive, salmon, cod and other fish are also good.

Shuichi Minamino is also doing this to upgrade his own system! If he catches tuna for half a year, then his next upgrade is estimated to be a long time away. This time, it was fished for half a year, and there were transport ships to help transport it. He just catches as much as he encounters! It's best to upgrade the system again every six months. When the time comes, the system will be level four, and see what kind of ability it will give you.

Now he just can't wait to catch 3 million fish at once, so that the system can be upgraded all at once!

The central Pacific Ocean is a vast ocean basin with the most tectonic crust in the earth, with a sea depth of about 4,570 meters. East of longitude 150°W is the eastern Pacific basin, and south of the line from the Central American Isthmus through the Cocos Ridge to the Galapagos Islands is the Peru-Chile basin and the southeastern Pacific basin. The Pacific-Antarctic basin is then crossed south over the Southeast Pacific Rise.

The central Pacific Ocean is also rich in fishery resources, rich in herring, cod, salmon, mackerel, trout, skipjack, sardines, tuna, flounder and other fish. In addition, the hunting and crabbing of sea animals (seals, walruses, sea bears, sea otters, whales, etc.) also play an important role.

In later generations, as fish were caught in large quantities, there was a great fishing boom in the Pacific crab industry.

"There should be more deep-sea fish here!" said Shuichi Minamino, looking at the Pacific Ocean, thinking to himself.

"Ding-dong...... Due north, 10 nautical miles from the host, a school of bonito was found, with coordinates of longitude 167.2 and latitude 51.3. 1,803 fish!"

"Hey, I've finally met such a school of fish, let's do it!" Minamino Shuichi listened to the system's prompt tone, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. He wondered if he was a good fisherman now.

Shuichi Minamino pretended to take out the map and checked the coordinates. After knowing where the fish were, he said to the old man Kimura, "I think this place is good, go over and take a look." I'm going to place a longline here!"

"Good. ”

There are only two kinds of tuna fishing, one is to place a longline and wait for a passing tuna to bite. The other is when you come across a school of tuna and catch it directly with a trawl or purse seine net.

Now that Shuichi Minamino said that he was going to this place to place longlining, the others did not suspect anything.

The fishing boat began to move in the direction of the fish, and Minamino Shuichi switched his vision to see what the fish were doing there.

Soon he saw a school of bonito! they were lingering in that area at the moment, and they should not be leaving anytime soon.

He knew that skipjack tuna was also one of the types of tuna. It is spindle-shaped, almost circular in cross-section, with a slightly larger head, a slender caudal peduncle, and a forked caudal fin. Except for the cuirass and lateral line, which are scaly, all are smooth and scaleless. There are no swim bladders. The back is dark blue, and the lower side and abdomen are silvery-white. The body length can reach 111 cm. The maximum weight can reach 34.5 kg.

This tuna is one of the small and medium-sized tuna among the many tuna, and is about the same size as albacore. This fish is very popular in the island country and is one of the most popular fish in the region, and is an important edible fish, mostly used as sashimi (sashimi) and fish floss.

After arriving at their destination, just as Ishida and the others were about to place longlining, they finally found a school of bonito fish several meters deep!

"It's bonito, bonito fish!" Ishida exclaimed with delight.

"I saw it too, and I thought I was going to place a longline and wait a long time for the fish to take the bait, but it doesn't seem to be needed now. Kill them directly with a trawler. Tanimura Ueno's breathing was short.

"Inform the boss that you are going to kill them with the Falcon trawler. ”

Under the command of Shuichi Minamino, this 500-tonnage trawler finally made its maiden debut!

At the top of the boat, two lookout sailors stared closely at the movement of the fish with binoculars and said, "6° due north and west!

"6° west-north, about two hundred meters!"

Soon the above told the old man Kimura, who was driving the fishing boat, the old man Kimura was very experienced and drove towards the direction of the fish according to this news. By this time, the 400-metre circumference trawl of the Falcon trawler had been thrown into the water.

"Accelerate!"

The diesel engine of the trawler has a lot of horsepower, and this is a must, and the operation of the trawler must be fast! It must be powerful! Otherwise, how can it affect the speed of dragging a huge fishing net without the strength to pull it?

"Hurry up and get the mechanical arm to the maximum, you must maximize the entrance to the trawl!" shouted Minamino Shuya. (To be continued.) )
