It turns out that when there were no tuna purse seine nets, all tuna fishermen relied on longline fishing to catch tuna. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

You know, tuna is large and swims fast, and ordinary fishing nets can't stop fast-swimming tuna, so ordinary trawlers can't and dare not catch tuna.

They used fixed longline fishing gear, using drifting longline fishing tackle similar to anchors, sunken rocks and other fixed operations on the seabed.

It is suitable for operations in waters with strong currents and small fishing grounds, and in the sea area where Moxie is located, tuna fishing is not a matter of thought, unless there happens to be a school of tuna passing here.

Mo Ye scanned the surroundings and found that there were sea bass, rays, etc., which could be caught with longline fishing.

They chose a piece of bottom water on the edge of the reef, and the bait was mainly small shrimp and squid, and they tied several branches with hooks, evenly tied to each trunk line, and loaded bait on the hook, each trunk line was coiled in the hook basket, and the hook was hung in rows on the edge of the basket.

After getting off the first basket trunk line, the tail end of the basket trunk line is connected with the head of the second basket trunk line and the buoy rope and the sinking stone rope and thrown into the water, and then the second basket trunk line is put in, and so on to finish the fishing line of each basket, and finally the tail anchor and buoy are thrown.

In the process of operation, the line needs to be drawn, and the starting end and number of times of the line are determined by the wind, current and the amount of catch.

It can be seen that it is not the first time that Mu Ne and others have done this kind of work, they are very skilled, and the position of the ditch is also very accurate.

Draw the line, pull the line, pick the fish, replenish the bait, and then put the line into the water to continue the operation.

Seeing them busy, Mo Xie was a little embarrassed, he couldn't just watch and not help!

The main reason is that this work is too hard, from the beginning of the hook, the four of Mu Ne have been busy all the time, no wonder Zhou Weiqiang said that longline fishing is very hard.

"Be careful, there's a big guy taking the bait." Just when Mo Ye was thinking about whether to help, Zhou Weiqiang shouted.

"It can't be tuna, right? With a winch, people cannot get close and be careful of being pulled into the sea. Mu Ne hurriedly ran to Zhou Weiqiang's side.

Longline fishing is very dangerous, and if one is not good, it is possible to pull the crew into the sea, and in case it is caught by a hook, it will be troublesome.

With Mu Ne's help, without manual labor, he used the winch on the ship to directly lift the branch line.

Soon, a big fish was pulled onto the boat, looking at the big fish, Mu Ne said happily: "This is a giant grouper." ”

Looking at this big fish with a body length of more than two meters, Mo Ye was very surprised: "You said this is a grouper?" ”

Zhou Weiqiang came back to his senses at this time and said, "This is the giant grouper?" It's huge. ”

"It's a grouper, but it's much bigger than a grouper, so it's called a giant grouper." Mu Ne explained.

Giant grouper is a grouper fish, mainly distributed in the tropical Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean offshore, the body is long oval, flat and stout, the mouth is large, the head, body side and fins are scattered with many blue-black spots.

The body is covered with fine ctenophores, the dorsal fin fin spines are connected to the soft strips, the body is more than 200 centimeters long, and it weighs 200 kilograms.

"Is such a big grouper delicious?" Mo Xie asked with a smile.

"Haha, is it delicious? Please remove this. Zhou Weiqiang said.

Chen Erlei also said at this time: "It's really delicious, I ate it once, it's really delicious, but there are too few of these things, and I can't usually see them." ”

"How many meals do you have to eat for such a big man?" Mo Xie looked at Da Yudao with a smile.

More than 400 pounds! It's all up to two fat pigs, and there's really a lot of stuff in this ocean.

"Where is this? The last time we caught, it was more than six hundred and eighty pounds! Chen Erlei showed a trace of remembrance on his face.

Mo Xie was stunned, and there were six hundred and eighty pounds of giant grouper? How big does this have to be?

However, Chen Erlei still has time to fish? That's a lot of information!

Since Chen Erlei didn't say it, and Mo Xie didn't ask, he still knew a little about the troops that Chen Erlei served, and it must involve secrecy.

"This kind of big grouper is not as delicious as the small one." At this time, Sova, who had not spoken much, spoke.

"Well, it's not as delicious as a small grouper." Mu Ne also said.

"Didn't you say it was delicious?" Mo Xie looked at Zhou Weiqiang with a smile, this foodie won't look at anything and say it's delicious, right?

Zhou Weiqiang said a little embarrassed: "This has to be compared with what, compared with other seafood, giant grouper is delicious, but compared with ordinary grouper, giant grouper is more precious, because it is too rare, but the taste is really not as delicious as ordinary grouper, small grouper is more tender and has a better taste." ”

Mo Ye was speechless, how else could he explain it like this?

However, this explanation is really accurate.

"Grouper contains a lot of nutrients, which can replenish energy and have many benefits for the human body, so why don't we eat it?" Zhou Weiqiang looked at the big fish, his eyes were already shining.

Grouper is rich in nutrients, the meat is delicate and white, similar to chicken, known as "sea chicken".

Grouper is also a kind of low-fat, high-protein high-quality edible fish, which is promoted as one of the four famous fish in China by Hong Kong and Macao, and is a must-have delicacy for high-end feasts.

Mu Ne and the others didn't just think about eating, so they went to collect fish again, and they encountered large schools of fish, and most of them were sea bass, and the economic value was still relatively high.

Sea bass have a fierce temperament and feed on fish and shrimp, while the tuna has a fish trap light, so it attracts a large number of fish and shrimp nearby, which provides a lot of food for sea bass.

With food, the sea bass will naturally not leave, so Mu Ne and the others are very busy, they are all constantly collecting fish, putting bait, hooking, and fishing.

The sea bass that Mo Ye saw had two colors, black and white, with a thick and long body and very rough scales, generally 110-120cm in length, weighing 15-18kg, with a lower jaw longer than the upper jaw and a pointed mouth.

Sea bass is widely distributed in the ocean, both in Pacific and Atlantic waters, and the white bass has a bluish-gray back, a white belly, and irregular black spots on the side of the body; Black bass is darker in color, and the overall color is dark black-gray with inconspicuous black spots.

This kind of sea bass is different from freshwater sea bass, the body is larger, almost every one has twenty or thirty pounds, such a large sea bass, even if it is not delicious, it is very pleasant to look at.

What's more, the price of sea bass is not cheap, as long as the wild sea bass is more than five catties, the price is more than ten dollars a catty, and less than five catties are seven or eight dollars a catty.

And the sea bass caught here has not come down to ten kilograms, and such a large sea bass will definitely be able to sell for a good price.

Encountering this kind of economic fish, Mu Ne and the others naturally couldn't let it go, so no matter what Mo Ye said, Mu Ne and the others were still as busy as ever.

Mo Xie was not interested in repetitive work like a machine, so he quickly withdrew his gaze and stopped caring about Mu Ne and the others.

Looking at the giant grouper, Mo Xie said, "This thing is really delicious?" ”

The grouper is not very beautiful, if you don't know it, just look at its appearance, Mo Ye will never dare to eat it.

The giant grouper has an oblong body and slightly flattened sideways, and its body color varies greatly, often brown or red, with stripes and spots, such a thing, inland people see it, if they don't know it, they will definitely think it is poisonous.

Zhou Weiqiang almost swore to the sky: "It's really delicious." ”

"Then you deal with it, let's have supper at night." Mo Ye immediately made a decision.

Anyway, it won't sell for much money, and if he can't eat it, he can also hide some and take it home for his family to try.

You must know that the frozen seafood will not taste too good, or his super biological detector space is easy to use.

With such a fish, Mo Xie can't be stored in the space, but when it is divided, it is easy to operate.

"It's a waste of a few of us to eat such a big fish." At this time, Chen Erlei said.

"How can it be wasted? Let's just eat a few more meals. Zhou Weiqiang was a little anxious.

Chen Erlei rolled his eyes and said: "No matter how delicious things are, you will get tired of eating too much, such as lobster, you have eaten twice, how can you change to eating pipi shrimp now?" ”

"Can this be the same? Besides, I won't eat in a different way? There are many ways to make grouper, you can make steamed grouper, lemon steamed grouper, grouper fillet porridge, grouper in tomato sauce, spicy tofu stewed grouper, garlic grouper, braised grouper, sauerkraut stewed grouper, we have all the materials, it is easy to make. Zhou Weiqiang said eloquently.

Mo Xie thought about it, they really had all the materials on the ship, and the most difficult ones to preserve were eggplant and tofu, but there were still a lot of them in the cold storage.

Other lemons, garlic, sauerkraut, they have stored a lot, these things are not easy to spoil, is the main way for sea crews to supplement vitamins, going to sea, almost every ship has it.

"Brother Erlei, haven't you eaten it? Is it still delicious? Mo Xie still believed in Chen Erlei's character, so he asked.

Chen Erlei hesitated for a moment and said, "It's delicious, fresh grouper, steamed and tastes first-class." ”

"That's fine, tonight's supper is steamed grouper!" Mo Ye decided so happily.

Actually, Mo Xie didn't know that when he was saying that Zhou Weiqiang was a foodie, in the eyes of others, he was not far behind, and he belonged to an authentic foodie.

Now that the decision has been made, Zhou Weiqiang has to deal with this giant grouper well, and Chen Erlei helps, and Mo Ye, who is idle, naturally turns on the fish trap light on the boat and is ready to do some work.

Looking at the non-stop harvest of others, Mo Ye couldn't help it.

The fish trap lights have been turned on a long time ago, and now a large number of fish have been attracted around the tuna.
