Chapter 21: Bluefin Tuna
After Yu You dived to the bottom of the sea, he put his hand on Xiaobai's dorsal fin and used it as a driving force, and soon dived into the unfathomable sea, which is as deep as thousands of meters on average.
It stands to reason that the further downstream, the greater the depth, and the dimmer the light, but what Yu You saw through the goggles was a different scene.
A mollusk resembling a jellyfish, with a light bulb-like tissue sticking out of its body, illuminating the underwater world. Yu You has never seen this kind of creature, but he also understands the complexity of deep-sea creatures, with a certain phototaxis habit, and the light bulb stunt of unknown creatures has attracted many fish to swim nearby.
The soft-bodied unknown creature suddenly grew its mouth, and a live sea fish was devoured.
"Xiaobai, did you tell me to come down just to look at the light bulb?" Yu You couldn't name this mollusk that emitted on its own, so he had to call it an electric light cannon.
Xiaobai shook his head and continued to let Yu You watch, more and more sea fish were surging, the soft creatures seemed to be full, and the strong light was suddenly extinguished.
And at this moment, not far away, a large group of tuna smelled the fish and rushed over from here.
Chased by the tuna, the flying fish jumped out of the sea and fell onto the deck of the sea ship 1000. Shen Bing and the others, who were on the boat at this moment, suddenly became nervous when they saw so many flying fish, and thought that there was a natural disaster similar to a sea spout, so the flying fish would flee in a panic.
Yu You, who was at the bottom of the sea, saw hundreds of tuna pounce on the flying fish, and the scene was extremely spectacular.
"A light cannon attracts **!" Yu You visually measured that the number of tuna in this group reached at least hundreds, and the weight was also extremely amazing, all of them were large, with an average of about 200 kilograms and a length of nearly 2 meters.
Xiaobai's intentions are obvious, and he has long detected the route of the tuna migration, and due to the attraction of "electric light bulbs", small fish such as flying fish and hairtail fish in the vicinity are gathered together, and various reasons have formed a rare situation where big fish eat small fish.
Yu You, who saw the situation clearly, used the wireless device brought by the helmet to get in touch with Meng Tian, the first mate on the ship.
"Tian Tian, tell Shen Bing that they are going to contain the tuna fish and use large-diameter fishing nets to filter out the flying fish." Yu You commanded the personnel on the ship at the bottom of the sea, Meng Tian was in charge of driving, Shen Bing, Cai Lifan and others started the trawling device, and Hu Maocai reported the surrounding movements and Yu You's observation on the bottom of the sea in a timely manner.
Everyone got the division of labor, and the first net casting operation of the sea wheel 1000 began! The sound of "boom" resounded in the sky, and Meng Tian increased his horsepower and drove at full speed to the rear of the tuna, taking the back path as they hunted the flying fish.
A huge net is spread out and rushes at a speed of 20 knots towards the fish, including tuna, flying fish, hairtail, cuttlefish and other sea fish.
In advance, Yu You asked Shen Bing and the others to change into large-diameter fishing nets, which can filter other sea fish, and only huge tuna will fall into the net.
"Accelerate, left full rudder! The tuna is running away! Yu You and Xiaobai stopped the tuna trying to escape at the bottom of the sea, Xiaobai's high-decibel dolphin screamed, scared off the tuna, the surging fleeing fish were crowded, the speed slowed down, and the sea ship 1000 caught up, and the big net directly surrounded its retreat.
The operation took several hours, and the 1000 covered only a small part of the tuna at first, and then, in the pursuit, relying on the command of swimming, firmly controlled the tuna, and the net was all caught.
When Yu Yu got on the boat, he saw the "creaking" sound of the winch and realized that the number and weight of this net were amazing, and it was already overloaded.
The thrilling pursuit of tuna made Yu You and others a good start in their first ocean trip.
After Yu You unloaded the diving equipment, Shen Bing and the others were still busy hoisting the tuna of this large net into the live fish cabin, and the fish showed dark blue tuna, jumping around, as if they were unwilling, struggling vigorously, and more or less holding a few flying fish in their mouths.
"The snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits." Yu You secretly commented to himself, counted Meng Tian for a while, came over to report the results, the excitement was self-evident, and said: "You, we have a bumper harvest!" Because the small fish are selectively filtered out, the net is all bluefin tuna over 2 meters long, and the size is 200-500 kilograms. ”
"Bluefin tuna, this species is better in the market, this time we made a lot of money, how much is it?"
"About two hundred."
Yu You gasped, there were only a few hundred tuna in that group, but I didn't expect to basically catch them all! This is also not unrelated to the tacit cooperation between Yu You and Xiaobai at the bottom of the sea.
You know, it's bluefin tuna! The visual impact of two hundred big fish may not be very large, but if it is converted into currency, even if Yu You, who has experienced many mysterious things, looked at a cabin of bluefin tuna at this moment, and suddenly lost his mind.
After Shen Bing and the others were busy with the tuna into the cabin, Yu You thought of a more important thing, called Shen Bing and the others and said: "The key now is to deal with the bluefin tuna urgently, you see that they are all struggling so hard, it will not be good if they will die later." ”
After saying this, everyone worked together to deal with the bluefin tuna and bleed it into the freezing chamber for storage.
Cai Lifan saw so many flying fish falling on the deck, his heart was itching, and he planned to throw it into the freezer cabin, at this time, the warship bird smelled the fish and moved, swooped down and ate the flying fish, the deck of the sea ship 1000 was very lively, Cai Lifan was surrounded by the warship birds for a while, the warship bird with the red throat sac was menacing, Cai Lifan's scream attracted the attention of Yu You and others.
"Third child, don't worry about those flying fish, it's worthless, go and hide in the cabin!" The large number of friship birds is just for the flying fish on the deck, there is no need to fight for anything, wait until they are full.
In the cabin, the grizzled Cai Lifan was quite embarrassed, and he originally planned to clean up the flying fish on the lower deck, but he didn't expect to suffer a big loss.
Yu You did not laugh at Cai Lifan for this, but said to the people present: "You have done a good job this time, our ocean trip this time has gone much smoother than expected, and we have harvested nearly two hundred bluefin tuna!" ”
"Boss, what kind of bluefin tuna is this, is it enough for oil? Don't pay for it. "Shen Bing knows that Yu You added 200,000 yuan of fuel money this time, and he did not carry out trawling operations in many high seas fishing grounds along the way, mainly to save fuel.
200? What's this, how much is it worth, just with other fishing boats, the harvest of more than 100,000 kilograms is still less, at most 40,000 kilograms, 40 tons of seafood, with this tonnage of fishing boats, there is nothing worth showing off, right? Of course, this is just the idea of Shen Bing and others, and they don't understand the market situation of tuna.
"How much does it cost per kilogram of these two hundred bluefin tuna? Did you know? Yu You hung everyone's appetite, Meng Tian estimated for a while, lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "More than 100 per kilogram?" ”
"Wow, that's more than 4 million, enough oil money." Cai Lifan after a simple calculation came up with the price range he thinks, 100 per kilogram, in fact, is the price of most marine fish, no wonder Cai Lifan will feel that he has earned, and he has not even had time to sort out the feathers of the warship bird on his hair, and he has this achievement for the first time at sea, which is indeed worth boasting about.
Yu You looked at Hu Maocai, who was sitting in the corner, and said, "Fourth, what do you think of the unit price?" ”
"Such a big fish, it's relatively rare, it can't be 100 per kilogram, and from the speed of tuna, it is extremely difficult to catch, this time we are lucky, or there is a boss commanding at the bottom of the sea, otherwise at most catch a few heads." Hu Maocai can see more clearly, and he plays the role of coordination and command on the deck, and he looks more carefully than others, so after analysis, the price of bluefin tuna will definitely be extremely high.
You know, the previous sea ship 1000 is a raid, only a few fished, the follow-up tuna found that there is danger, the full horsepower of the sea ship 1000 can only look at the back and sigh, although I don't know what the reason, the tuna will throw themselves into the net, but through the overall analysis, the trawl is not too smooth, the process is more difficult.
Seeing that everyone was looking forward to Yu You's answer, he stopped selling Guan Zi and said: "Bluefin tuna is extremely precious, and the wholesale price of an ordinary bluefin tuna is 40-500,000 yuan!" If it is put at auction, the price will be speculated to millions, and the king of bluefin tuna, when encountering a rich man who grabs the red eye, tens of millions of heads are possible! By the way, I saw a king head that weighed 700 kilograms? ”
There was silence, except for the call of the warship birds on the deck that snatched the flying fish, not a single person in the ship spoke, and their eyes were as wide as bull's eyes.
An average of 40-500,000 heads? You must know that this net has been harvested 200 ah, and there is also a so-called king bluefin tuna.
Isn't this as high as 80 million? It's more likely to reach 100 million! An ordinary person can't earn 100 million in a few lifetimes, and he got 100 million after swimming out of the deep sea?
Yu You didn't expect that when he and Xiao Bai surrounded the bluefin tuna, Xiao Bai's might actually arrived at hundreds of tuna, which made them chaotic, causing the formation to collapse and fall into the trawl, otherwise where would Yu You harvest so many and get 10 of them.
"However, with such a large volume of ours, it is still difficult to sell for 400,000 heads, and finding a few suitable buyers is enough for me to have a headache." After Yu You finished speaking, everyone didn't come back to their senses and was immersed in this huge astronomical number.
Meng Tian said: "In this case, shouldn't we go back?" It took about a week to come to this sea, and it would take at least a week to return to the sea, and the trip was shortened by two weeks. ”
I thought it would take a few weeks or even a month to find the traces of tuna, but this time I was able to find the tuna school successfully, in addition to Xiaobai, the biggest contributor was the unknown deep-sea light bulb mollusk.
Thinking of this, Yu Youyan said: "Take a break for a while, and when all the warship birds are gone, we will discuss the next route." ”
