Chapter 135: The First Fishing
At noon, the locust elder picked up the lobster and crab they had caught and began to cook. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
There is a small kitchen inside the fishing boat, and all the accessories in it are already ready.
Eating the lunch made by the locust elder, especially the lobster, it was no worse than the one he cooked last time, and it seemed that this chef was very qualified.
After a break at noon, several mermaids went to the sea again to start fishing, and at about three o'clock, Chu Xian looked at today's harvest and nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay, that's enough!" Chu Xian's heart moved, and he ordered all the mermaids to get on the boat.
At the moment, more than a dozen fish tanks on the fishing boat are filled with jellyfish and Christmas tree worms, and the deck is covered with all kinds of strange stones.
A storage bin of colourful seaweeds is also covered, which is enough to make more than a hundred sea tanks.
"Let's go back!" Chu Xian looked at today's harvest and nodded with great satisfaction.
"Okay boss!" nodded before entering the cockpit and heading towards the shore.
It took more than an hour to reach the shore from here, Chu Xian lay down on a chair and rested, and several mermaids also sat aside.
"Boss, boss!" Suddenly, the voice of the old man came: "Boss, the ultrasound has found a school of fish in front of you, should we catch it?"
Chu Xian, who was squinting, was slightly stunned: "What, fish?"
"Yes, boss, there is a school of fish in front of the ultrasonic survey in the fishing boat, but there are very few fish, about two or three thousand, but they are not small, estimated to be four or five thousand catties."
"What fish?" Chu Xian immediately sat up and asked excitedly.
"Well, boss, the ultrasound can't detect any fish!" said the old man speechlessly.
Chu Xian patted his head, and then immediately used sound wave detection, speaking of which, his sound wave investigation is even more powerful than ultrasound, which can completely reflect a black and white picture.
"It's a pomfret, it should be a pomfret!" Chu Xian guessed as he looked at the form of the black and white fish in his mind.
"Pomfret, boss, should we catch it?" asked him.
"Catch, of course you have to catch!" Chu Xian nodded without hesitation, the price of pomfret this year has been greatly reduced, two or three catties of pomfret are only a dozen yuan a catty, and the price of a small one is even lower.
Of course, Chu Xian had to use his fishing function when he bought a fishing boat, not to mention that this was the first time he had encountered a school of fish, so of course he had to practice his hands.
"Catch it normally!" Chu Xian said to the locust elders.
Their mermaid has two fishing methods, one is trawling, trawling is an efficient means of fishing, very efficient, but generally suitable for pelagic fishing, if you are lucky, a trawl can directly burst the stock.
This type of fishing requires fishing while driving the boat.
The second method of fishing is purse seine fishing, in which the boat is fixed and then the net is lowered by the ship's wheel, as if it were a net.
This method requires fish to gather together, and it is very efficient.
The former method of fishing is very expensive, while the latter is very simple.
For thousands of small schools of fish, the net diameter is about 30 meters.
Chu Xian did not use his ruling ability to go directly to the sea to rule the fish, but stood on the shore and watched quietly.
The first is that he wants to see how well the fishing boats are fishing, and the second is that the value of the pomfret is not worth it for him to go down personally, and if there is bluefin tuna, I will definitely pounce into the sea without saying a word.
"Release the net!" shouted the locust elder to the two and four of them who were controlling the wheels.
"Roger!" replied in a loud voice, and began to slowly lower the net.
"I'll go, can this net be more crooked!" Chu Xian was a little dumbfounded when he looked at the position where the fishing net fell, the position of the fish was on the left side of the fishing net, and now the fishing net was obviously off a large distance.
"Alas, it's crooked!" shouted the old man, who was surveying the fishing boat, when he saw the location of the fish.
"Eh!" Chu Xian was speechless: "The feelings are all a group of laymen, and the communication is not timely!"
Chu Xian shook his head: "Forget it, go on!"
"Ahem, boss, this fishing still requires experience, let's just practice. The locust elder said with some embarrassment.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Chu Xian shook his head.
"Shut up the net!" said the locust elder towards the two swords and the four swords.
The nets were slowly put away, and the fish inside also appeared in everyone's sight.
"Well, it's not bad, at least four or five hundred catties!" Chu Xian said sincerely, he used to use fishing rods to fish, and the most he saw others use fishing nets to cast nets, compared with this kind of net coming from hundreds of catties, it was too much worse.
"Ahem. The locust elder coughed dryly on the side.
"It's okay, it's the first time, just practice regularly in the future. Chu Xian smiled absently.
Although his fishing boat is used for fishing, it is mainly used for precious fish, for example, if he encounters a more valuable fish school in the future, then he can go to the sea to rule the fish, and then go down in a net, hehe, it's cool to think about.
The fish was put into the boat, and they immediately began to sort it.
There are hundreds of catties of fish, which is said to be a lot less, but it is definitely not much, and there is no need to freeze them directly in a storage room.
After the net was lowered, the other fish in the school also scattered in panic, and it was obviously impossible to continue to catch them.
"Let's go back, if there are any more fish that continue to stop and catch!" Chu Xian said to them, and then continued to lie down on the chair.
Obviously, however, it is very difficult to encounter schools of fish in the vicinity of the Yellow Sea, and it is their luck to encounter schools of fish in such close proximity.
In the afternoon, fishing boats docked at the pier.
The arrival of such a large fishing boat attracted the curiosity of nearby fishermen, especially when they saw the word mermaid.
"Hey, they seem to have fish on their fishing boat, it looks like they're out to sea?"
"It should be, the first few times I should have tested the water, and today I officially fished, I don't know how much they caught this time?"
"It's only eight or nine hours how much can be caught, and it is estimated that it will be good to have a few thousand catties!"
"Nonsense, such a large fishing boat, using trawling for seven or eight hours can catch at least three or four thousand catties, although some small yellow croakers can only be used for oil. ”
"Let's go, just go and take a look, a day's work of this kind of fishing boat is equivalent to two or three days for an ordinary small fishing boat, and there should be a good income." ”
The fishermen at the pier talked and walked towards the place where the Mermaid docked.
