Chapter 59: Yellowfin Tuna
(Thanks to the readers of "Ya Fart" for the 700 starting point coins tip!Kneel and beg for recommendation votes!)
Just when Shuichi Minamino was about to have an in-depth chat with Ami Inoue, the system suddenly prompted: "Ding Dong...... A school of yellowfin tuna was found 15 nautical miles due east from the host!Coordinates: longitude 137.2, latitude 53.1, number 361!"
"Finally until the tuna appeared!" said Shuichi Minamino in his heart. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info went out to sea for almost five or six days, and finally the system explored the tuna school.
The distance of 15 nautical miles is not far away, but it is neither near nor near.
Fishing for tuna is not the same as catching other species, and longline fishing is required to catch tuna. Tuna is a ferocious type of carnivorous fish. It can also be regarded as a first-class predator of the marine food chain. It's not practical to catch up with ordinary fishing nets, and the main thing is that these tuna swim too fast! They have a large range, and it should be too late to catch up with longlines.
This ferocious predator is often very aggressive and likes to eat bait that has the ability to resist, so longline fishing often attracts them to the bait.
"Check out the profile!"
"Yellowfin tuna, a precious pelagic fish of the ocean's warm water. It is a type of tuna that gets its name from the yellow color of its dorsal and anal fins. It is one of the most abundant tuna. Adults can reach a maximum length of 3 meters and weigh up to 225 kilograms. ”
After reading the information, Shuichi Minamino knew that yellowfin tuna was second only to bluefin tuna among many tuna species. Adults are almost 2 to 3 meters long and weigh an estimated 100 to 225 kilograms. In terms of meat quality, bluefin tuna is a step worse. However, yellowfin tuna is produced in high yields, so it is the most caught of all tuna. The price is also very high, and the price is estimated to be the best among the many tuna.
Originally, Minamino Shuichi wanted to have a deep-sea hunting beast belt and ten great white sharks to intercept this group of yellowfin tuna, and even hunt them. But after thinking about it, these yellowfin tuna are not easy to mess with. They are also first-class powerhouses that belong to the food chain. Although not as good as the great white shark, it is still difficult for the great white shark to hunt them. First of all, yellowfin tuna is not small in size and very aggressive. And then there's the fact that they can swim faster than great white sharks! Great white sharks are likely to be kite-flyed. Besides, if ten great white sharks provoke these more than 300 yellowfin tuna and attack them in groups, it is estimated that ten great white sharks will be enough to choke.
"With the terrifying combat power of a deep-sea beast, you can hunt more than a dozen yellowfin tuna. However, the process of fighting will definitely damage the body of the yellowfin tuna, causing them to bleed or damage the fish's body. That's a bit more than worth the cost. Minamino thought to himself. When the time comes, if the yellowfin tuna is poked out of a few large holes in its body, or it is knocked out by deep-sea hunting beasts and bruised, the flesh quality of the yellowfin tuna will definitely be inferior, so it is estimated that no one will want to buy it at a high price.
"It looks like we have to go fishing with longlines. ”
At this time, it is already night, but it does not affect the use of longline fishing. When he came to tell the old man Kimura to drive due north, Nanno Shuichi kicked the sailors awake.
"Boss, why are you telling us to get up?" The sailors were a little dissatisfied when they were kicked awake, and they didn't dare to be dissatisfied after seeing that the person who kicked them was Shuichi Minamino.
"I'm going to go longlining, I guess there's going to be tuna in this area!" said Shukazu Minamino.
"Yes!"
A group of sailors also did not doubt the orders of Shuichi Minamino. The experience of the average master fisherman is beyond their guessing. You tend to think that this is the area where there are no fish, but the master fishermen are laying drift nets or longlines here. There are always unexpected gains.
I don't know how many such deeds are circulating in Nemuro Fishing Port!
If everyone were a master fisherman, they wouldn't have to be a hard sailor. Fishing masters are often full of mystery in the eyes of these sailors! Now, Shuichi Minamino is a mysterious and experienced fisherman in their eyes.
There was a master fisherman in Nemuro Fishing Port, but now he is dead. On one occasion when he went out to sea, he laid a net in a sea area and prepared to catch fish.
At that time, I waited for three days and did not see any fish. The sailors and partners were impatient and ready to retreat. Unexpectedly, he insisted and asked him to wait one more day, and sure enough, on the fourth day, a steady stream of fish passed by. That time they came home with a full load.
Therefore, in the eyes of these ordinary people, the master of fishing seems to know the fortune telling, as if he knows where there will be a school of fish. Actually, no, these are fishing experiences! Because the old man knows when and where certain schools of fish migrate, all he has to do is wait for the rabbits! It's that simple, but in the eyes of ordinary people it's very mysterious.
Now Shuichi Minamino won't reveal his ability to locate fish, so he just needs to pretend to be mysterious. No one would have thought that a person would have such a strange ability.
Although Shuichi Minamino did not let the deep-sea hunting beast make a move, he also asked him to take ten great white sharks to keep an eye on the more than 300 yellowfin tuna in the distance, just in case of emergency.
When two fishing boats came to the vicinity of the yellowfin tuna school, the yellowfin tuna were still happily feeding in the water, and they were feeding.
"Boss, the longlines are all ready, you can put them down one by one. ”
"Okay, let's get to work. "Minamino Shu nodded a little. Since the yellowfin tuna is more than 20 meters below the sea at the moment, no one has found a school of fish here.
Longline fishing is a complicated job, and Shuichi Minamino joins in to help.
Pick up the bait, put it on the hook, hook the line on the branch, and throw it into the sea, where the hooks float behind the boat with the current.
Both fishing boats are longline, and the two sides are separated by a certain distance, which is easier to operate.
"It's eleven o'clock in the evening, is the boss insane? What kind of fish are you catching at this point?" ”
"I was kicked out at night to let go longline, and there are no fish here!"
"It's hard to say, the boss probably thinks there will be tuna here. "A sailor still stands up for the boss.
"Tuna have to sleep!"
“……”
After being busy for more than half an hour, a total of 1,000 hooks were put down, and a fishing boat put 500 hooks.
A thousand specially treated bait floated over or near the heads of the tuna, and soon the specially treated bait caught the attention of the yellowfin tuna.
