Chapter 983: Cape Cod
Fishing, of course, does not refer to a certain place name or a law enforcement method, but it is said that this should be regarded as an outdoor sport. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
No one knows exactly how many years of fishing has been, but at least tens of thousands of years, at least before humans had the history of civilization, fishing rods and fishing have existed.
The most famous, is the end of the Shang Dynasty, there was a person named Lu Wang, with a straight hook fishing, only fishing princes and generals, and later this person was given the surname Jiang because of merit, this is the famous Jiang Ziya, yes, Jiang Ziya was not originally surnamed Jiang, but surnamed Lu.
Jiang is one of the oldest and most noble surnames in ancient China, because the origin of this surname is Shennong, that is, the legendary Emperor Yan, Emperor Yan was born in Jiang Shui, so he took this water as his surname and named Jiang, of course, this has nothing to do with Jiang Hai, and according to his knowledge, it has nothing to do with a certain book, he is just a water word count.
Anyway, fishing is a skill inherited by ancient human beings, and now there are many people who have fished, basically taking China as an example, 1.3 billion people, at least more than one-third of them have fished, born in the countryside, or grew up in the countryside, children must have fished, people born in the city, must have gone to fishing ponds, reservoirs or something, and almost all have fished.
But there are many people who say that they have fished, but there are not many people who really like this industry.
There is one in the whole of Huaxia, and one in a hundred people can like fishing, and it is almost the same.
Don't think that this proportion is very small, you must know that there are 1.3 billion people in China, one in 100 people likes to fish, this is 13 million people, the country's base is too large, and no one can do anything about this.
However, if there is one in 100 people in Huaxia who likes to fish, then in the United States, it may ...... A thousand? Or three thousand? Or five thousand? Well, let's be honest, there really isn't much anyone in the United States who likes fishing.
As we all know, although the US government has been trying to change the eating habits of the American masses and let them eliminate the overabundance of Asian carp in the river, the Americans just don't eat it, and no one can do anything about it.
Because of one thing, the United States was the same as China, in order to develop so polluted a large area of land and water sources, and now it has developed to a bottle path, can not develop rapidly, began to control land pollution, air pollution, water pollution, but only twenty or thirty years, although the results are good now, but the current middle-aged people know how serious the pollution was at the beginning, because they were still young at that time, so the middle-aged and elderly people will definitely not eat the fish in the river, in their eyes there is pollution.
Second, Americans don't like to eat spiky fish, so some people will say that all fish are thorny!
But you only have to take a closer look at American restaurants to understand that fish can also be barbless......
Because Americans make fish, not like Huaxia, fry it, fry it, stew it, and make a braised or something.
Americans eat fish, only eat fish steaks, fish balls and the like, that is to say, a fish, a knife on the left, a knife on the right, a good fish, only those two pieces of meat to eat, fish head, fish tail are not eaten, most of the fish in the river will also have spines here, but there are many marine fish, such as cod or something, so they do not eat river fish.
It is precisely for these two reasons that Americans do not eat river fish, if someone beats river fish into fish balls or something, then they eat them, but they are worried that the fish meat is not clean, whether these fish balls are preservatives in them, how long they have been stored, etc...... So in order to avoid these troubles, they decided that it was better not to eat river fish.
If there is no need, there will be no market, because there is no one to eat the river fish at all, so even if someone catches the river fish, it is just for fun, after catching the fish, they are directly thrown into the garbage pile, but this play for a long time, it is really not interesting, they still have to work, so in the United States, there are few people to fish.
Just like hunting in the United States, fishing also requires a license, otherwise you will be caught, but you will have to go to jail.
It is not an exaggeration to say that there are very few people fishing for river fish in the United States.
And there are a lot of fishers on the beach, and they also eat the fish they catch, but how many people live on the seaside?
The main thing is that Americans have a lot of income, and the price of marine fish, as you know, is really not a very high price in the United States, and in such a situation, how many people can fish?
There is a saying in the NBA that if you don't make the playoffs, or if you are eliminated from the playoffs, you are called going fishing, because in their eyes, fishing is equivalent to going on vacation, a meaning.
There is only one kind of person in the United States who can really fish hard, and this kind of person is called an ocean hunter by Edward Anderson.
However, in Jiang Hai, they seem to be fishermen, but this kind of fisherman is different from ordinary fishermen, ordinary fishermen just buy a boat, near or far, near home or in the ocean, pull the net and run around, and then come back to sell, this is a traditional fisherman.
These ocean hunters, on the other hand, specialize in fishing, and they are staring at those precious fish.
For example, the legendary bluefin tuna, of course, yellowfin, masu, big-eyed or something, they also do not refuse to come.
In each country, the opening hours of tuna are numerous, for example, Canada, that is, from August to October every year, the United States and Canada have always worn a pair of pants, so the time is about the same, although there is no clear regulation of tuna fishing time in China, there is a sea ban time every year, spring begins to autumn, this is the time for the fish in the sea to recuperate, and fishing is naturally not allowed, but this one, for some small countries, there is no more.
For example, island countries and some countries in Southeast Asia can catch tuna all year round, as long as they are found in the ocean, they can be caught, and Mexico, which is closest to the United States, can catch tuna from January to November, and the real time for them to recuperate is only in December every year.
So a lot of ocean hunters, throughout the year, are wandering around, one month in one country, the next few months to the next country, for them, only tuna can be caught, anywhere.
And their income is much more than that of ordinary fishermen, you think, if one day you go lucky, catch a bluefin tuna, it doesn't need to be too big, more than 200 kilograms, the bluefin tuna parts are different, the price is different, if you have to say an average price, almost 300 US dollars a kilogram a kilogram, of course, this refers to the price in the United States, if you go to the country and the island country, the price flies......
The best meat for a top tuna cheek raiser in China, 3800 soft girl coins a tael, 20 taels a kilogram, 76000 soft girl coins a kilogram, a tuna in the island country sells for millions of soft girl coins, or even tens of millions of dollars, provided that you are big enough.
But basically, it is not a problem to catch a blue fin and sell it for 50,000 or 60,000 US dollars.
Coupled with the other tuna they caught, just catching tuna, the average annual income of these ocean hunters is at least more than 100,000 US dollars, plus they don't just catch tuna? They also catch blue guns, blue guns, sailfish and the like.
So basically, the annual income of these ocean hunters is about more than 150,000 US dollars.
In the United States, 50,000 is the middle class, 150,000, which is enough to attract a large number of people to join the industry.
But there are also some troubles in this industry, one is to completely look at the face, you may earn 300,000 yuan a year, or you may not earn a penny and have to lose air tickets and fuel money, so that the average of the two of you is 150,000 yuan per person.
The second point is that it is not very safe, not to mention the island country, there is only such a big and small fart in total, plus there are too many people who catch fish, and no one will go, they themselves go to the high seas to catch fish.
For the rest, whether it's Southeast Asia or Mexico, you and guarantee that you take a bluefin gold gun to sell and won't be robbed halfway...... There are quite a few people who die on this every year, but there is nothing anyone can do.
It is an eternal truth that people die for money, and birds die for food, and it is precisely because of this that many ocean hunters keep an eye on some safe places, such as Cape Cod and George Shoal in North America......
Speaking of Cape Cod, it is a place that has a close relationship with the United States, because it is the first stop for European immigrants to the Americas, without which there would be no United States and no Canada, which is not an exaggeration.
Now is not the season to catch tuna, so when Jiang Hai and his boat came here, it was a little deserted, in the port of Woods Hole, when Jiang Hai's cruise ship drove in, many people who were taking advantage of the good weather and were drying fishing nets on the dock looked at Jiang Hai and his boat, and even many boys and girls were full of envy and hope in their eyes.
Cape Cod is located in the gap between Massachusetts and New York, politically it belongs to Massachusetts, but it is precisely because of this, so it is really not very rich, although it is not like the legendary patch patch and the like, but the per capita income here, in Massachusetts is really not high, all say that the poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, although the people here are not to say that they are not Diao people, but they hope to leave here, and there are many people who yearn for the outside world.
As Jiang Hai's yacht approached the shore of the dock, many half-sized children came to gather there, they were waiting for the mooring, which was also their main way of collecting tips. (To be continued.) )
