1222. The Song Rings Out (2/10)

"Put away the nets!" Qin Shiou frowned and ordered, Shaq waved his hand, and a fisherman on the boat put on the strong and smooth water and went down to the sea, tied the head of a drift gillnet with a rope, and hung the other end on the Harvest Ship, dragging and putting away this fishing net.

The lethality of drift gillnets is indeed very strong, and the fishery resources are abundant, which is just cheaper than this kind of broken net, and as the nets are put away, large catches appear.

The fishing nets were full of sea fish, there were big fish but more small fish, Qin Shiou went to see it, pomfret, saury, cod, herring, mackerel, sea bass, small cod, and a long northern hairtail.

Most of these fish live only in the Indian and Pacific Oceans, and only the northern hairtail fish swims from the Pacific Ocean to the North Atlantic in spring to spawn.

This fish is a poor swimmer, and it took a lot of trouble to swim all the way from the Pacific Ocean to the North Atlantic, and as a result, they escaped the shark's mouth, evaded the fishing boat, and finally fell into the net.

"These bastards!" Qin Shiou angrily slapped the dial of the motorboat, and he said viciously through the walkie-talkie, "Listen, the fish thieves who will be discovered in the future, no matter what the fuck it is, all of them will be arrested and dealt with as poaching leatherback turtles!" ”

He has always been too soft-hearted, because he knows the difficulties of fish thieves, the fishing resources in the open sea are getting less and less, and everyone will lose money if they can't catch a sum of money when they go to sea, so no matter what means are used, Qin Shiou still leaves a way out for the fish thieves.

At least, he never harmed anyone.

But now the fish thieves are getting more and more excessive, and they even put nets under his fishing grounds, which is absolutely intolerable!

Qin Shiou decided to fight back. In the future, the troll can't be so gentle, and it will run into a fish thief ship again. They must have been scrapped!

But that way, it's easier for them to reap the catch. There are a large number of catches hanging on this drift gillnet, large and small fish of two or three tons, and there is no shortage of precious economic fish such as Atlantic cod, Atlantic salmon, and silver-scaled salmon.

The fishermen moved quickly and separated the catch according to the size, Qin Shiou saw that there was a box full of small fish the length of a palm, and his heart moved, and said, "This box is for me to bring back, I have other uses." ”

Small fish have the benefits of small fish, and mom and dad are here. He remembered a delicacy he used to eat when he was a child, the iron pot miscellaneous fish, and it was just right to make it with these small fish.

On the Melon Princess, the long trawl was gradually lowered, and the sea monster drove the boat forward, so that the trawl slowly opened up, forming a net of heaven and earth.

The trawl mesh chosen by Qin Shiou is very large, and fish below half a meter can basically not be caught, while large fish above half a meter can be caught as long as they are calm and smart. Don't get caught in a fishing net, you can escape through the net.

There are many resources in the fishing grounds, and he is not afraid of less harvest.

Compared to the Harvest, the Melon Princess is a high-class fishing vessel. It is more fully equipped, with a halogen light ring at the stern and a control switch in the wheelhouse. There are three types of drifting lights, anchor lights, and towing anchor lights.

Marine fish, especially pelagic fish. They have strong phototaxis, the kind of anglerfish that Qin Shiou discovered not long ago. It is to use this property to prey.

The sea monster turned on the fish-trapping light at the stern, and the Melon Princess officially began its work.

There are not only halogen lamps in the stern, but also incandescent lamps in the inner ring, which are low-priced and belong to thermal radiation lamps, which can convert electrical energy into heat, light and radiant energy, and at the same time meet the needs of marine fish for light and heat, so although the luminous efficiency is low, it has not been eliminated.

More important is the metal halide lamp, which is a gas discharge lamp, which has a particularly high luminous efficiency because there is metal halide in the lamp, and the light presents a beautiful digging blue, intermittently emitting 520 nm and 560 nm wavelength light.

This is the power of modern science and technology, according to the research found that pelagic fish are most sensitive to light with a wavelength of 560 nanometers under good light conditions, and 520 nanometers under poor light conditions.

In the past, there was no such function on the harvest, and trawling relied on Qin Shiou's so-called Five Elements Dragon Finder and Fish Finder, but both of them belonged to passive fishing, waiting for the fish to gather into a group, and then they could find it before they could catch it.

Now the Melon Princess is an active fishing method, using the light lure mode, they can gather the scattered fish and catch them all, so the efficiency will naturally increase a lot.

The first time Qin Shiou saw a fishing boat using this function, he was more curious, so he watched it in the cabin.

The sea monster has been out of the far sea, and he is very familiar with these devices, he turned on a button printed with the logo of the water flow and the lamp, and said: "This is the drifting light lure mode, now the water light and the underwater light in the stern are turned on at the same time, and the lamp is released, which can drift with the current, so that the range of the lure can be expanded." ”

The next thing to do was much simpler, the sea monster sat on the chair and put his feet on the bridge, drank his coffee leisurely, and the next thing to do was to wait, waiting for the fish trap lamp to lure the large school of sea fish up.

After an hour of slow sailing, the Kraken burped and stood up and ordered the fishermen to get to work: "OK, OK, guys, it's harvest time!" Let's sing "Birch Forest" and start receiving the gifts of the sea! ”

The fishermen laughed and sang that working at sea was boring, they had to have fun with themselves, and sometimes a random song could make people feel emotional, so they often sang together.

Fishermen are all loud voices, and no one's voice is good, so no one will laugh at anyone, everyone tears their throats and scolds the same as a war, regardless of the tune, it depends on whose voice is louder, and it can overwhelm others.

This is not a competition between them, but a tradition, and the fishermen believe that the catches are collected while singing, and the louder the song, the more abundant the catch.

The classic beginning of "A Good Place in the Birch Forest" sounded through the horn of the fishing boat, and the fishermen roared while working, Qin Shiou was infected and also roared: "A good place in the birch forest, the hometown of the beaver...... There are big elks there, roaming freely...... Blue lake rocky shore, I'm going to return ......"

Then came the chorus part, and the high-tide came: "Boom-de-de-boom-boom, boom-de-de-boom-boom, boom!" boom! boom……! ”

Everyone was roaring, especially the bull, who was blushing and thick-necked.

And just as they thought, in the loud singing, the large fishing nets were dragged up by the fishing machine, and the Atlantic cod, haddock, pollock, and white whiting full of fishing nets were transferred to the warehouse and opened, as if it was raining, and countless big fish were spilled down!
