Chapter 111: Insight
"Eleven and a half tons, there must be about 30,000 fish, and this is only the upper layer of fish, if you catch some more, it is estimated that there will be more." Looking at the numbers displayed on the hydraulic screen, Philemon here couldn't help laughing, and then controlled the robot arm, pulled the fishing net, and pulled the fishing net to the fish pond that had already been vacated next to it, but at this time there was no water in this fishing pond, because these fishing goods still need to be sorted, some fish are quite valuable, some fish are not very valuable, and the fate of greeting them is naturally not the same, as Philemon put the eleven tons of fish into the fishing pond, Edward over there also walked out of the cab and followed Jiang Hai, And Filipmon, who had put the net down again, walked into the fish pond.
Now they need to sort some of the precious fish and put them alone in the nearby pool, and then throw away or kill some of the things they can't eat, such as aquatic weeds, jellyfish, sea snakes, etc.
Throw some of the things that need to be released back into the sea, such as turtles, sharks, seals, sea lions, fur seals, dolphins, etc.
These creatures, except for those who are mad and crazy, basically ordinary fishing boats will not besiege and kill.
According to Philippon, the fish they catch now in the upper layer are basically not going to catch too many strange things.
Sure enough, after the purse seine was opened, most of them were fish, except for a lot of aquatic plants.
There are all kinds of fish, the most conspicuous is a few huge red fish, these fish have spikes on their bodies, they look very bluffing, and Edward and Philemon here, when they saw these fish, immediately ran over, grabbed these fish by the cheeks, and threw them directly into the pool next to them.
"What kind of fish is this, it looks quite festive." And Jiang Hai then joined in, catching a fish, Jiang Hai asked Philippon, he was indeed quite curious.
"This is the vermilion scorpion, a very valuable fish, the maximum can grow to about one meter, originally lived in the Pacific Canada, but later the Newfoundland fishery has been directly planted, so we also have it here, the price of this fish is very high, not only can it be eaten, but also can be raised as an ornamental fish, this one in your hand can be sold for about 2,000 US dollars." Hearing Philimon's introduction, Jiang Hai's eyes couldn't help but light up, one fish can be sold for two thousand? That's a lot of money!
But he actually thought too much, if the fish wanted to grow to such a big size in Jiang Hai's hands, it would be impossible to do it without six or seven years.
If you want to raise this fish to make money, you can make money, but if you want to make a lot of money in batches, it is difficult.
After learning that the fish in his hand was so valuable, Jiang Hai was also much more careful and put the fish back into the pool next to him.
After releasing the fish, Jiang Hai caught another red fish and prepared to release it into the pool, but was stopped by Philippon.
"This kind of fish is the vermilion scorpion, which is valuable, and the one you caught is the perch, which is not valuable...... This fish, also known as Norwegian cod, is a little more expensive than cod and is not worth putting in it. Hearing Filipmon's words, Jiang Hai was a little confused, to be honest, it was really difficult for him to tell what was different about these fish.
Later, Jiang Hai found that among the fish he caught, there were many other small red fish, but this time he took a long note and asked Philippon what was going on with these fish.
"This is alfonsino and a fish from the Pacific Ocean, but we have people here who raise it, and it is estimated that it has run out to breed, and this fish is also quite valuable, and people in the island country like it very much...... This is a redfin snapper, it's worthless, it's bigeye snapper, it's okay, but just throw it here, and we'll sort it later. Jiang Hai asked while picking, and then he found that this fish was really not an ordinary way.
He looks like a similar guy, but there are several, even a dozen classifications, which are only red, if it is a normal color, it is even more confusing, the same is the flat fish, the black banded flat fish, the black eye flat fish, the file head flat fish...... At least Jiang Hai can't tell the difference, and just the three kinds of fish mentioned above, the price is also very different, the price of the black belt scorpion is the lowest, about a kilogram can only be sold for about 6 US dollars, and the black eye flat carp can be sold for eleven US dollars, and the five US dollars in the middle, if Jiang Hai and these fishermen do not distinguish the fish clearly, the fish merchants will not give you a share, and they will all be collected as black ribbon flat fish.
At that time, it will be the fishermen who will lose, that is, Jiang Hai, the fisherman.
Eleven and a half tons of fish, excluding kelp and water, there are about ten tons, nearly 30,000 fish.
30,000 fish may seem like a lot, but in the hands of these professional fishermen, sorting is still very fast.
Picking out the precious fish is a little time-consuming, picking some less expensive fish, that is a matter of a second or two, so about two hours, throw the useless sea snake back into the sea, the jellyfish directly killed, in the absence of turtles, fur seals, sea lions and other creatures to be released, Edward and Philemon have already counted all the fish, such a work, for them, drizzle.
"Take a break, then put a second net." Seeing that the fish were all ready, and it was still early, Edward Anderson took a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket, lit two of them, handed one to Philemon, and sat down to rest.
Because they knew that Jiang Hai was not a smoker, they didn't give Jiang Hai a ......
In fact, Jiang Hai smoked a long time ago, probably when he was in junior high school, but then his family conditions did not allow it, and he found that he was not addicted to breath after smoking for a few years, so he quit, and now although the economic conditions allow, he has no intention of picking it back, and it is good not to smoke.
"Come, boss, I'll introduce you to the fish we caught." The two of them looked at themselves here, but Jiang Hai, the boss, had nothing to do, so Philemon here smiled and posted it and introduced it to Jiang Hai.
Jiang Hai, as the owner of a fishing farm, if he doesn't know any fish, this is somewhat unusual, speaking of which, he has long been interested in these fish, and when he heard what Filipmon said, he also came to the fish pond.
"These catch the most, I don't need to introduce, this is cod, this is herring, this fish you should also know, sea bass, the most greedy guy in the sea, but it's also best to catch, this is what I just introduced, vermilion scorpion, this is sheep bream, this is black-banded scorpion, this is black-eyed scorpion, this is bass, this is red scorpion, this is alfonsino seabream, this is filehead scorpion, this is silverstone perch, this you have seen brown trout, it is a migratory fish, this is Atlantic salmon, the same as trout, it is estimated that this fish is about to produce seeds......" Filipmon stood next to the fishing pond and introduced more than a dozen kinds of fish to Jiang Hai, Jiang Hai really couldn't tell the difference, so he could only memorize them by rote, and then write down these names first, I have to admit that fisherman is really a job that requires a lot of experience and vision.
Especially a fishing ground like Jiang Hai, after all, this fishing ground has been in this fishing ground for several years and has not been fished.
Because there is no fishing, unlike those farmed fisheries, the fish in the fishing grounds here are very mixed.
If his eyesight is not enough, he will really pick a fault, and at this time, Jiang Hai has to be glad that he found Edward in the first place.
"I know this fish, lionfish." After basically introducing those fish that were almost the same, Jiang Hai saw a few fish with different lengths, this fish had long spines on its body, this fish he remembered that he knew, it was long and mushy, and there were hard spines on its body, which he had seen when he watched TV before.
"Well, it's bream." Hearing Jiang Hai's words so firmly, Filipon hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell Jiang Hai the truth.
"Uh, almost." Hearing Filipmon's words, Jiang Hai was also stunned for a moment, and looked at it carefully, it looked almost the same.
"It's far away, the scientific name of the lionfish is scorpion, it is a scorpion family, just like the vermilion scorpion over there, the same as the black clear scorpion, it is of that family, and the seaweed is a seabreeze family, the most important thing is that the lionfish is a pest fish, because of its poisonous relationship, there are not many people who like to eat it, so the price is much lower, we don't have lionfish here, that is the fish of the Pacific Ocean, the bream is what we have here, and the price is very high." Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Philemon here also smiled and said.
Hearing what Filipmon said, Jiang Hai smiled slightly embarrassedly, it seemed that his knowledge was really not enough.
"Okay, almost, put another net, and then let's sell it, this time it will be deeper." Hearing that Philemon had almost finished introducing the fish, Edward, who was sitting there, also stood up and threw the cigarette butt into the trash can that had been prepared by the side of the boat, and then he took it back to the wheelhouse, while Jiang Hai and Philemon stayed on the deck, first pushed those precious fish into a separate room next to it, the room was made deliberately damp, and the inside of the room was made of a sink, which was specially used to put live seafood, seafood, the best food was still alive, no matter how fresh it was, it was not alive and delicious, Naturally, there is no live one that can be sold at a high price, of course, like tuna or something, if you leave the water, you have to die, that kind of is another story.
As for the rest, which is not very valuable, it is pushed into the chilled cold storage, there is also a layer of water here, but squeezing so many fish, it is natural to live and die, as long as it is still fresh when it is sent to the fish merchant.
After everything was ready, Edward Anderson's voice also came from the loudspeaker, obviously he had seen the existence of fish from the sonar, Philemon also immediately manipulated the boom to put the fishing net into the water, but this time, he put the rope longer, the fish they caught just now was the upper fish, about five to twenty meters from the sea, this time their net was deeper, to catch fish between twenty and thirty meters, and at this time they were still on the continental shelf, thirty meters deep, Basically, it has already been dragged to the bottom of the sea, and there will be more things caught in this net!
And the reason why I didn't choose such a deep just now is because there are reefs in that area just now, but there are no in this area.
