Tang Hai said so, what else can Merlin do?

I had to count the manpower and prepare.

Malena yelled to go with her, but was ruthlessly rejected by Merlin, on the grounds that Malena had missed a lot of homework before and had to make up for it now......

Marlena pouted and left unhappily, she knew that Merlin was doing it for her good, but she was unhappy with Merlin's attitude of treating her like a child.

Tang Hai applied for a king crab fishing license in Alaska, this thing was not obtained by Imson for him, Imson did not have the ability, it was done by a trio of senior brothers from the National Fisheries Association FNI of the United States.

The United States is a relatively traditional agricultural and pastoral diet country, and 20 years ago, the United States did not have its own concept of 'national fishery resources'.

Even now, the EEZ fishery part of the US EEZ is only 200 kilometers of coastline, and if you catch a coastal country, the per capita fishery resources of the United States can be exploded......

In 1945, the year of victory in the World Anti-Fascist War, the United States, like many other countries, began its post-war development with the establishment of the Fisheries Association NFI.

At first, the NFI was not for seafood, but for freshwater, and then gradually shifted its focus to the ocean, after all, rivers and lakes are so small, and the ocean is so big.

The concept of NFI is: from the production area to the table of the business chain, scientific and environmentally friendly sustainable development, and to ensure the food safety of residents.

As long as you check carefully, the food that NFI cooperates with can find out the origin of resources, environment, and agriculture.

NFI has many partners, including distant-water fishing companies, fishing vessel production companies, fishing gear companies, breeding companies, processing companies, refrigerated transportation companies, restaurants, ...... There's even a little bit of animal husbandry, soybean feed making and more!

As long as it is in this industry chain, you are eligible to join FNI after passing the audit!

Now FNI has two major problems in the ocean.

First, the U.S. fishing industry comes and goes, and it only catches those few things, and the marine resources are not as good as Indonesia! The canned tuna with an annual sales volume of 3.5 billion in the United States was bought from Indonesia, and then sent to a processing plant in Thailand for processing, and then shipped back to eat!

The second is that Americans don't eat seafood, and the taste of China is a multi-process Chinese meal, and there are more ways to eat seafood in Japan and France, and even North Korea has its own variety of sauces, while the United States ......

The world's offshore fishing has been excessive, but there is still room for development of distant-water fishing, China's distant-water fishing started relatively late, and the catch is basically 1.3% of the global proportion, which is a very low figure.

However, as soon as China's annual International Fisheries Expo is held, there will be a few giants in the NFI! The main thing is to see how to cook the food, and the second is to observe the Chinese market and so on.

Imson introduced Tang Hai to a Washington state person in charge of the NFI, who happened to be Jennifer's senior brother, and when he heard that it was Tang Hai, he directly approved the fishing license, and at the same time invited Tang Hai to join the NFI as a member, saying that he had time to have a cup of tea, and also sent someone to check the situation of the little princess that Tang Hai was preparing to go to sea, as well as various tools.

"He's trying to get you to develop the dishes." Jennifer followed Tang Hai to see her senior brother, and when she got out of the office, she whispered in Tang Hai's ear.

"Developing dishes? What does he care about? ”

"Tube. Take real cod as an example, the United States is a big exporter of cod, exporting 50,000 tons per year, and at the same time it is a big importer, 60,000 tons per year. If the U.S. had a special approach, those two figures would be estimated to be 100,000 tons and 120,000 tons, providing thousands more jobs. ”

With Jennifer by her side, it's easy to do anything!

She knows everything about fisheries, and this time she is fishing for king crabs, which are the 'wolves' in the ocean, which have devastating and destructive power, and she is willing to contribute!

Unlike Hadley, she is a girl, and Tang Hai obviously looks at her more interested in talking, and knows more things......

Tang Hai asked Jennifer to know that there are only more than 400 FNI members, and the criterion for evaluating whether to join is not how big the career is, but how much contribution and potential it has to the entire industry!

After all, it was the first time to fish king crab, and Tang Hai didn't dare to do more, so he planned to send a flagship to explore the way first.

Alaska crab fishing is also known as the 'death journey', even in modern technology so developed, still 6 to 8 people die in each fishing season, the probability of injury and illness is more than 95%, such a terrible fishing road, safety monitoring is very important.

First there is the deck anti-slip paint, then the guardrail, and finally the lifeboat, as well as signal transmitters, communication tools, and so on.

The crab fishing tools are newly installed six hook machines, as well as a bunch of crab pots and professional ropes for catching king crabs, a rope is the size of a big tire, more than 30 plates are prepared on the boat, and more than 30 crab pots are also prepared.

Tang Hai couldn't help frowning when he saw that the other party was still going to check the food of the Little Princess.

"Young man, eat at sea, never think you've done enough! A lot of times it's just that you suddenly check it up one more time and it can save your life! The thin old man said earnestly.

Tang Hai was agitated and said, "I have been taught." ”

The staple food is pasta, with plenty of seasonings and oils, the oil is olive oil, and there is also a little lard.

The meat was stored in large quantities of beef smoked by Tang Hai and Tail, and the old man took out a little bit to eat, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face......

Snacks have plenty of chocolate and cocoa powder, coffee, and other things that can provide calories quickly.

When the old man left, Tang Hai made a final rest, and his focus was to check the crab pot.

The crab pot, also known as the crab trap box, is very huge, made of stainless steel and ultra-strong barbed wire, and it is no problem for several people to sleep in it, weighing more than 100 kilograms!

The old-fashioned crab pot is 300 kilograms, and it costs $500 for a crab pot, which is new, but the price is not cheaper, and it also costs $200 a piece, and it costs 100,000 yuan just to buy a crab pot and a hanging rope...... Four large hooks are rented and can be assembled on board!

Tang Hai had to catch 10 tons of king crab in order to fill the cost of the tool!

In addition, the Little Princess has been refueled with 40 tons of diesel, which is 65% of the full value!

Think about so many Filipino poaching boats are converted into 60-ton full fuel models, disguised as Vietnamese to poach in Chinese fishing areas, that is, converted to 60 tons, they don't have a supply station, they can go to the Alaska dock in Holland Harbor for replenishment......

I don't feel like I need to resend it, it seems to be enough?

The diesel bill cost another 40,000!

Coupled with the increase in wages and commissions for the crew to go to sea, 30 tons of king crab must be caught on this trip, so that Tang Hai can be said to make money!

I heard that there are hundreds of fishing boats dispatched during the fishing season, and the output is so small, Tang Hai feels that there is pressure, and he is afraid that he will not be able to compete if he is not overpowered.

The ship headed north in the direction of Alaska, and Tang Hai held on to the railing and blew the sea breeze, and sighed softly: "The weather seems to be good, it's quite cool." ”

"Really? Hopefully you'll think so in a few days. Merlin smiled and came to Tang Hai's side.
