Chapter 437: Narwhal
"That's a Norwegian fishing boat, what's the problem?" Ma Lena had been following Tang Hai all the time, recognizing the flags on those ships, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
Among the five Arctic countries, Russia and the United States want to sell seafood to China, and most of them take the sea route to Tianjin Port to unload the goods, so the seafood in Tianjin Port is very cheap, and even things like king crab have cabbage prices.
If you want to enter China, you can choose from Canada.
Denmark and China do not have close trade relations.
Norway, on the other hand, is China via the Arctic Ocean route, and the biggest seafood is salmon!
"Ten years ago, the quality of Norwegian salmon was really good, and after this thing was shipped into China, it once triggered a salmon frenzy, whether it was a restaurant or a movie, you could see the word salmon everywhere, and it once accounted for more than 92% of our country's market."
"Wouldn't that be great? Salmon has a high nutritional value, and the selling price cannot be said to be expensive. ”
"But that was before."
Once there is a big business opportunity for something, the businessmen will increase the amount as much as possible.
A slight drop in quality is imperceptible to ordinary people, but anyone can detect a surge in quantity.
There are 300 large salmon farms in Norway, and the El Niño phenomenon has led to a large reduction in the production of a kind of fish extracted from 'fishmeal' and 'bone meal' in Peru.
If this is the case, it is just a decrease in quality, and it does not affect health.
Salmon purse seine farms in Norway are affected every year by rising water, broken nets and so on. Causing salmon in captivity to escape......
Their nets are so large that they divide the islands and the waters, and the giant ships can also carry out operations. Spawning, including fish, is also carried out in the middle of the net. Over the generations, the quality of the fish in the net has actually declined due to the lack of food and exercise.
It doesn't matter if it goes down, you can use scientific means to target supplements.
However, the offspring of escaped and wild salmon spawning and regenerating are very problematic in terms of health, not only with incorrect nutrients, but also with deformities.
In addition to purse seine fishermen, Norway also has a large number of fishermen who catch fish from the sea. Many of the giants are owned by hundreds of millions of dollars, and they basically earn money by catching white flounder, salmon, king crab, and arctic shrimp. A lot of the salmon that is exported is caught by fish farmers.
Both the United States and the European Union have warned about this situation. It is said that there are too many salmon in Norway, the management is no longer up to standard, the nutritional standards are not up to standard, and even the fish are sick. Even deformities.
Even China's food safety authorities announced it on September 10, 2014. Salmon imported from Norway into China must be cut into pieces, and it will be fully implemented from the 17th......
To judge the quality of the salmon, just look at the color and stripes of the meat, and the sampling is simple, indicating that China is also suspicious of Norwegian salmon.
But there are policies and countermeasures, Tang Hai knows how to fake, and the Norwegian professional fish merchants must know.
By March 2015, the Norwegian salmon problem had become even more severe, and not only had the salmon with anaemia been shipped into the Chinese market. It even contains carriers of 'Listeria monocytogenes', which is extremely harmful to the human body and may even be fatal. All shipped into China! For a time, the international reputation of Norwegian salmon plummeted, and its market share in China fell below 30%!
Now the Chinese salmon market is no longer dominated by Norway, but now Tang Hai is still quite unhappy when he sees the Norwegian ship......
"You say I don't even know what to eat." Sister Marlena hurt so badly that even the Norwegian salmon was vetoed by Tang Hai?
"Anyway, the ones you buy are the most expensive, and the quality is generally the best, and if you want to die, you will die in the end, what are you afraid of?"
“……”
The sky was still like that, but the alarm clock suggested that it was time for Tang Hai, Malena, Jennifer, and Tail to take turns off.
Lying on the bed, Tang Hai habitually took out the book given by Jennifer and studied.
Now the Chinese fishermen in the Dahlia Fishery are extremely bored, and often come up with some strange sentences, such as what is Tang Hai outside and Jennifer inside, the two stewards talk about male and female......
Tang Hai often runs business and eats with people, although he doesn't drink, but no one here is forced to drink, just say a word of alcohol allergy, Dahlia's various channel expansion is basically talked about at Tang Hai's dinner table.
Jennifer is proficient in all kinds of marine related, whether it is fish feed, or feed basic organisms such as copepods, rotifers, cladoperas, etc., or even let the bait feed diatoms in spring and autumn, Jennifer has never disappointed everyone, and her accuracy rate has always been 100%! It can be said that if Tang Hai is not in the fishing ground now and she is here, she has the final say in everything! Even if Tang Hai is there, she usually has the final say!
"What about male and female, nonsense, obviously I am male, she is female, a group of people are full and have nothing to do, can't even distinguish between men and women? Besides, I'm going to have to decide what she wants......"
Tang Hai looked at the book given by Jennifer, looked at it and fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took for him to wake up, the soft Arctic sunlight shining through the glass into his bedroom, flat on his futon, soft and warm.
Tang Hai was a little confused at first, but suddenly realized what was going on, and then sat up in shock!
Running late? Changing shifts?
I took out my phone and saw that I slept for six hours, much more than usual, and it seemed that I was too tired to go north, but it shouldn't be time to change shifts......
Tang Hai is the kind of person who will not sleep back in the cage as soon as he wakes up, and when he goes out, he finds that Jennifer and Tail have come back up, sailing in the unknown seas, and these first-line crews are not at ease to let the second-line operation be carried out.
If the most important thing to worry about when you are active near the equator is natural disasters caused by sea breezes and tsunamis, then when you are active in the Arctic Ocean, you need to pay attention to natural disasters in the extremely cold regions, and there are some terrible things that even radar cannot predict......
Some people are looking at the radar, and Tang Hai is going to the railing to see the sea view, the cold wind is blowing here, and the temperature is close to zero, that is, the global temperature has risen in recent years, causing the ice and snow in the Arctic Ocean to melt in many places, otherwise Tang Hai would not have come here.
On the way, he often saw some small islands, Tang Hai thought about landing on the island to play, but Jennifer strictly stopped him, saying that there is a small island above, and the ice floes below may be hundreds of times the volume, and it is best to avoid them far away when he sees them.
If dangers such as wind and waves come from above the surface, then risks in the Arctic Ocean come from below the surface.
Before leaving, Sanjie each recommended two senior brothers and sisters who had adventures in the Arctic Ocean, and they both played a great role before.
The fleet has passed Kotseb and is ready to reach Cape Hope, and then up there are 460 leases in the Chukchi Sea disputed by the United States and Russia, mainly for oil exploration and exploration, which is also a fishing area in the high seas of the Arctic Ocean.
The fleet was already in need of replenishment and overhaul, and Tang Hai's only goal now was to take care of the fleet to reach the central city of 'Barrow' of the Inuit on the North Slope.
Malena didn't know when she woke up, so she also went to the deck of the ship at this time, and took the birds and puffins to watch the sea view with Tang Hai.
Those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety, and in this last section of the road, Tang Hai is always inevitably worried, the way is too smooth......
"Oh, Don! Look at that! ”
A spiral spike pierced out of the sea, and the target was actually the hull of the Little Princess!
"I knew it wasn't so easy! However, chiseling ironclad ships with spikes, the recent pirates are so stupid...... Yes! It's a narwhal! ”
