Chapter 160: The horror of trawling
After setting the route, Jian Yi Jian and Jian Er slowly put the fishing net into the sea, the bottom of the fishing net is a rectangular piece of iron, which quickly sank into the sea, and the fishing boat slowly started. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In this process, the nets slowly expand into a net and begin to catch a variety of fish in the sea.
The trawling of the mermaid is mainly used in the upper layer of the sea, and the upper fish such as mackerel, trevally, blue round trevally, sea bass, and small yellow croaker are the main fish.
The fishing boat is moving, and the fishing nets that are dragged behind are like a sky net, catching all kinds of fish and shrimp along the way.
Trawling is very expensive for fishing vessels, but it is the most efficient and terrifying of all fishing.
Standing on the fishing boat, Chu Xian could see that piles of all kinds of fish in the trawl behind him were surrounded by fishing nets, no matter how big or small, they were all caught in one net.
That's right, it's a net, all the fish along the way.
Trawling is usually done every two or three hours, but there are exceptions, and if there are plenty of fish, it may take an hour or two.
The sea area where Chu Xian is located belongs to the general resources, and the fish are not densely populated.
Even so, the number of fish in the net increased rapidly as quickly as the naked eye saw it, and for more than four hours, the entire net was filled with all kinds of fish.
Chu Xian's fishing boat is a small boat, less than thirty meters, and the trawl net is not very large, about five tons, and at this moment the fishing net is fully loaded.
Among them, the net is dominated by small yellow croaker, densely packed, the big one is forty centimeters, and the small one is only more than ten centimeters, and there are many lobsters, crabs and ordinary fish such as hairtail fish.
"Drag it up!" said the old man, looking at the fishing nets in the sea, and said loudly.
Sword and sword and sword and they immediately controlled the machine and slowly pulled the fishing net onto the boat.
"My lord, our harvest is good!" The old man looked at the various fish that were pulled up with excitement, although these fish are small yellow croaker with relatively low economic value, but the amount is large, at least four tons, seven or eight thousand catties of fish!"
Seven or eight thousand catties of fish, even if it is cheap, it costs thirty or forty thousand!
The trawl net was pulled onto the boat, and there was a special trough for storing fish on the side of the fishing boat, and as soon as the sword untied the mouth of the fishing net, the fish fell on the fishing boat one by one.
Chu Xian looked at the various fish that were gradually being put out, and frowned slightly.
One of the big downsides of trawling is that 80 percent of the fish caught will die.
Because of the squeezing of each other in the net and the sudden change in water pressure, the organs will rupture or fly off, and even if there are fish alive, it will not take long to die.
"Smack!" landed on the fishing boat with a crisp sound.
Chu Xian's brows furrowed as he looked at it.
It was a sea turtle, a half-meter turtle, but at the moment it had landed motionless on the fishing boat and suffocated to death.
Small fish that have not yet grown up fall on the fishing boat, sturgeon and octopus about half a meter long.
There are even some fish that are not edible.
"Big fish and small fish, regardless of species, as long as they are sea creatures, everything is extinct wherever the trawl passes, no wonder some countries ban trawling fishing, it's too terrifying. ā
Chu Xian thought in his heart, he could see a lot of posts and news about trawling on the Internet.
Trawling is by far the most effective method of fishing, which is one of the reasons he bought the boat, but trawling is also the most brutal and environmentally damaging way of fishing.
Large distant-water industrial fishing vessels can carry the size of 13 Jumbo airliners Boeing 747 in one net.
Under such high-yield fishing vessels, both large and small fish are caught in a net, and even some other catches are often mixed in.
For example, sharks, dolphins, sea turtles, albatrosses, these precious protected animals on the earth, are mixed into them every year to catch millions, millions, what a terrifying number.
"It's tens of thousands of dollars to go down in one net, and most of these fish are also dead, and they can't eat themselves, so they won't use this method to fish in the future." Chu Xian thought for a moment.
For Chu Xian, only large fish, or fish with economic value, have some effect on him, and as for those fish that are not of high value and have not even grown up, they do not have much effect on him.
How much can tens of thousands of fish be sold for in a net? Tens of thousands of dollars, and it will also destroy the ecology of the ocean.
The value of one of his sea tanks has also reached tens of thousands, and there is no need to do such a thing.
"If necessary, it would be better for all countries to ban this method of fishing, which kills both big fish and small fish. Chu Xian thought about it and then smiled.
Obviously this is not possible, and many businesses rely on this to survive.
After experiencing trawling and catching seven or eight thousand catties of fish, instead of making Chu Xian feel excited, he was a little unhappy.
In his heart, the ocean was his personal domain, and of course he was a little upset by others destroying it so unscrupulously.
But if he is not happy, he has no way.
"Once you've caught all the fish, let's get some good things out and eat them!" Chu Xian shook his head slightly, and then looked at the turtles on the fishing boat.
"Elder Fish, cook the turtle and eat it, don't waste such a precious thing!" Chu Xian looked at the turtle and said to Elder Eagle.
He is not a saint, since the turtle is dead, he will not dig a pit for him to bury the soil, the dead are dead, and he is not ready to sell it, so he will eat it himself.
"Okay boss!" the old man nodded, and then carried the twenty or thirty pound turtle to the kitchen and disposed of it.
"Let's see if there's anything good!"
Chu Xian immediately walked inside the fish pile and looked at it.
Since there are no fish nearby, the catch is very mixed!
The most is the small yellow croaker, followed by the hairtail mackerel and the like, which are generally small fish, and there are not many large fish.
"This squid can be eaten by the elder, and I haven't eaten a squid yet!" Chu Xian smiled, and then picked up a big squid.
"What is this? Crab?"
At this time, under a bunch of fish layers, Chu Xian saw a big guy, a guy more than a meter big.
"Is this a killer crab?" Chu Xian pulled him out, looking at the crab that had not yet died, thinking with some confusion.
Taking out his mobile phone, Chu Xian immediately searched on the Internet.
"Sure enough, it's a killer crab, this thing is very rare!"
Chu Xian looked at it curiously, the whole thing looked like a giant spider, the crab claws were about a meter or so long, and it looked a little terrifying.
"With two broken claws, tonight's dinner will be yours. Chu Xian grabbed it with his hand curiously.
However, suddenly one of the claws of the killer crab came towards him.
Chu Xian quickly dodged, and a smile appeared on his face: "It is worthy of a murder crab with a history of killing, it is really fierce!"
