Chapter 340: Changes in Fishing Practices

37 large and small fishing boats, with the largest tonnage of 1,000 tons and the smallest of 100 tons. With the continuous expansion of the fishing fleet www.biquge.info he has hundreds of sailors and various staff.

It mainly includes sailors, captains and mates, as well as maintenance personnel and so on. Fortunately, a month ago, Shuichi Minamino recruited a new batch of sailors. At present, the expansion has basically been completed.

Now he divides the fleet into three teams, two of which remain unchanged as before. The third fleet is made up of 20 1,000-ton fishing boats. This time, he also intends to personally lead this third fleet when he goes to sea!

He can imagine how fierce he must have been in leading these 20 large 1,000-tonnage trawlers out to sea. Each of them is a Big Mac, and the range of fish he is looking for has increased to a radius of 300 nautical miles, so I believe that when the time comes, the fish will definitely be in a state of no grass.

After a week of preparation, the three fishing fleets finally set sail from Nemuro Fishing Port. Old man Kimura led the first fishing fleet, and Ishida-yu led the second.

The third fleet, Shuichi Minamino, was personally led, and this time the ocean-going fishing was for two months! He hired three large transport ships to serve and transport his third fishing team. As for the other two fishing teams, they are not needed.

However, this time Iloti didn't follow up with him, and only brought Ami Inoue, Yukina Sakai and the twin sisters Masako Aoko.

The three fishing teams sailed out of Nemuro Fishing Port one after another, attracting the attention of many people.

"There are three fishing fleets, a total of 37 fishing boats. Minamino-kun is really amazing!"

"I guess I can earn tens of millions of yen from a single fishing, right?"

"It can't be, if you don't remove the cost, the price might sell so much. But 37 fishing boats are a lot of money. It would be nice to be able to earn tens of millions of yen after all kinds of costs......"

"Tens of millions is not a lot, and it has been two years since we had a small fishing fleet. ”

"Envy, ......"

A 1,000-tonnage trawler, Shuichi Minamino stood on the roof of the boat and silently turned on the system. Almost instantly, he could clearly feel the schools of fish within a radius of 300 nautical miles!

"It's the first time I've used a new ability, and it's been very good. He felt as if the system had been optimized. The system can intelligently block some fish that he doesn't want to know about, and only keep some fish that he wants to catch. This kind of intelligent screening is based on the information fed back by his brain and can only be filtered. In this way, he will not be constantly bombarded with information from the system as before.

Otherwise, there are so many schools of fish within a radius of 300 nautical miles, and the constant refresh prompts can bomb him and faint.

It is worth mentioning that there are very few large schools of fish off the coast of Hokkaido, or they are schools of fish that are not of high economic value. Fishing grounds off Hokkaido have been scarce for hundreds of years by the islands. If you want to have a big harvest, you must go to the sea of the island country or the waters near the Kuril Islands to fish, which is the right choice.

In the past, when Shuichi Minamino had only a dozen fishing boats in his fishing fleet, he didn't think he made a lot of money. You can earn millions of yen on a single trip to the sea. Unless you catch a lot of tuna, you will make a lot of money. At that time, he doubted that he didn't need to do distant-water fishing. All you need to do is keep salvaging the shipwreck treasure. After all, I don't know how much money I made by salvaging a shipwreck treasure.

But now he finally realizes how lucrative ocean fishing really is. He used to have a dozen fishing fleets, but now he owns 37 fishing boats. When the fishing boat has formed a certain scale, the harvest of fishing at sea is definitely very objective!

It wasn't until the arrival of his 20 1,000-tonnage trawlers that he realized!

These 1,000-ton large trawlers, with a total length of 47 meters, a width of 8.5 meters, and a depth of 7.22 meters, will lower a giant fishing net with a circumference of 600 meters when fishing, and the fishing net will be stretched open by two giant steel supports weighing 1.2 tons, forming an oval net mouth with a width of 50 meters and a height of 25 meters, and the net will be trawled at the bottom of the sea! The water depth operation is 500 meters. Fishing operations can reach a depth of 500 meters, which is basically enough. Very few fish schools live below 500 meters. These are very rare fish.

The nets are lowered by 4 to 8 people at the same time, and after the nets are lowered, they are operated by machinery. This large fishing vessel is extremely resistant to winds, even in force 1o winds at sea!

As long as you find a school of fish to form a fishing ground, it is very easy to catch dozens of tons a day. That's the horror of big trawlers. You can imagine 20 fish harvesters constantly dropping their trawls and dragging them back and forth. As long as the fish school is dense, it is estimated that the fish formation of the fishery can be completely caught in just one hour.

Once the fish on the ocean are densely populated, it is very spectacular and terrifying. When the fish are dense, they form a fishing ground, and that's how the fishing ground is obtained. Why is it called Hokkaido Fishing Ground, it does not refer to a fishing ground for aquaculture. In fact, it refers to the fact that the waters of Hokkaido are densely populated with fish, and a natural fishing ground is formed.

It is now the time of 1954, and the price of cheap fish such as sardines, herring, saury, squid, mackerel and so on is slowly increasing. Now he has so many fishing boats and he is constantly catching these fish. No matter what type, big and small!

Today, the size of his fleet is no longer necessary, and he is not required to specialize in catching high-economy fish. Now it's the stage of winning by volume.

This time, Shuichi Minamino's destination was to go fishing in the northern waters of the island country's sea.

After several days of sailing, the fishing team led by him finally came to the waters in the northern part of the island country.

When he came here, he found that the fish were very dense.

"With the size of my current fleet, I no longer need to see a school of fish and go over to catch it like I used to. I need to find the areas where the fishing grounds are formed and then go over to fish. "For example, if you find a school of fish here, you find another school of fish there, so it's a bit more than worth the loss to run around and catch fish on both sides. This time it wasn't like the previous fishing boats. This time, 20 fishing boats were working together.

He needs to find this kind of sea where more than a dozen schools of fish, or even dozens of schools, appear, appear to fish. Because the kind of fish that gathers more than a dozen schools of fish and dozens of schools of fish together is called a fishing ground!

The same is true of the large fishing fleets of later generations, which are specialized in finding places where fishing grounds are formed. In this way, if you find a place where this kind of fishing ground is formed, you will be able to catch a full bowl of fish.

However, it is not easy to find such a place where a fishing ground is formed. If Shuichi Minamino doesn't have the ability to find it with the help of the system, it will take experience!

The sea area that forms the fishing grounds is sometimes random, and it needs to be combined with various factors such as weather, currents, region, season, etc. There are even places where there is a lot of plankton that form large fishing grounds!

Some shallow seas also form large fishing grounds, and of course the shallow waters are estimated to be the kind of pelagic fish. Shuichi Minamino also understands a little bit of the above knowledge. But he's not a veteran fish hunter! he's relied on the system's help all these years.
