The so-called purse seine fishing boat Guan Jian is in this fence word, the way of operation is also very simple, that is, to use a large net to surround the fish in the sea, take the Kawai Maru as an example, there is a net with a length of several kilometers and more than 300 meters deep, the Puai Maru dragged this net and dragged the speedboat with the head of the net against each other, and then ripped open the net and then closed the encirclement, after the encirclement, it used the ship's machine qì to drag the cable at the bottom of the net, so that the fish ran from below The road was blocked. In this way, as the net tightens more and more, the fish naturally gather together, and then what the sailors on board have to do is very simple two words: catch fish! It's as simple as catching fish with a big net.

Now not only the sailors on the deck on the Kagai Maru, but also the three sailors on the speedboat knew that there was a big school of fish in this net, and although they didn't know what the specific situation was, everyone's morale immediately rose.

The time it took for the Kawai Maru, which was sailing at full speed at 17 knots, to complete the seine net was less than 10 minutes and 20 minutes, and as the dinghy and the Kagamaru crossed face to face, it showed that the first step of the purse seine operation had been officially completed.

Bei Hai watched a big elliptical circle float on the surface of the sea from the helicopter, and Rina was the first fish he caught! The fish carried by the fritters are not the Kawai Maru, but they can be eaten in one bite, and if you want to eat them in one bite, it is estimated that the net will be at least ten times larger. This time, the branch point Beikai intercepted the tails of the fish swimming, and the fish in this area are not too big, all of them are three or four hundred pounds of fish, which is the current catch of the main force of Oma Town.

Of course, these fish hang on the tail of the big school of fish because their small body is a little shorter, and this kind of small body running into the middle of the school of fish is almost unpleasant, like throwing a man who looks like a bean sprout into a muscular man like Uncle Schwarzenegger. It's just that the bean tooth vegetable will not die, and the small fish will mix with the big fish, which is really a bit difficult to say.

The captain, who was sitting in the helicopter, commanded the helicopter and observed from the sky the area enclosed by the nets that were getting smaller and smaller on the sea, although there were no fish in sight. But the 'eyes' of the local dog had already seen the catch of the purse seine net.

A school of tuna, all about four hundred and fifty pounds, was getting more and more impatient, and the lead fish seemed to find himself soon running into this damn net no matter where he swam from. And forcing themselves and the whole school of fish to swim to the surface is not what bluefin tuna like to do at this time, but now they like to crouch on the bottom of the sea and eat a lot of food.

"Raise the edge of the net!" When Bei Hai looked at the area of the net on the water, he immediately said to Xu Heng through the earphones.

Almost at the same time, Xu Heng also issued such an order to the sailors on the deck and in the dinghy, and as the order was strictly implemented by the sailors, in less than five minutes, the Kawai Maru and the speedboat worked together to lift the net mouth on the entire sea surface about three meters above the sea surface, and at this time, the oblique cantilever on the ship's mast also slowly moved towards the side of the ship, and the entire slowly shrinking purse seine began to move to the right side of the ship.

The bottom of the net had not yet been collected, and the sailors on deck could not tell what kind of fish they had caught this time, but the fish finder who was standing with Diego on the bridge could see very clearly how big the fish were in the net.

"Great!" The detective couldn't help but shout loudly.

Hearing this, Diego turned his head and glanced at the signal in front of the detective and said, "Turn that thing off." If you want to go out and see the catch, I approve it, you can go out of the bridge."

"Really?"

"I can't lie to you!" Diggo took a cigarette from his pocket and lit it for himself, then said to the sailor who was operating the rudder, "If you want to see it, you can go out and watch!" Anyway, there's nothing left of us to do! ”。

"Thank you, first mate!" As soon as the two sailors heard this, they said a word to Diego and ran out of the bridge, and without going down to the deck, they lay on the handrail on the side of the bridge and looked out at the net on the sea.

Diego saw the two sailors, then stretched out his head to look at the busy sailors on the deck from the observation deck, and said to himself while smoking a cigarette: "You will see in a moment, if you don't love to sleep, the captain is not level!" ”。

As the net mouth became smaller and smaller, the back of the big black fish in the sea gradually became clear, and it was not one but one after another, as if it was swimming in the water, but in the eyes of the sailors, this dark cloud was too beautiful.

The sailors, who had no work on their hands, all came to the side of the ship, without exception, stretched out their heads and shrank to the appropriate size of the fish mouth, and as the rope at the bottom of the net became tighter and tighter, the whole school of fish had to squeeze towards the surface of the sea.

"Smack!" Finally, there was a tuna that seemed to be unable to stand being crammed into such a small space with its companions any longer. With all his strength, he jumped out of the water, and the silver-white fish belly was shining like a dazzling silver chain in the afternoon sun, jumping up two meters high, and then smashed into the sea again.

"Bluefin tuna! It's a school of big bluefin tuna! A sailor lying on the side of the ship could not hold back the excitement in his heart, and suddenly cried out.

None of the sailors had ever seen such a scene, and all they saw were bluefin tuna, and generally all they saw were bonito thirty or forty centimeters long. If you're lucky, the bonito may be a little bigger, and even more fortunately, you'll be able to pick up yellowfin tuna and bigeye tuna at the end of the catch.

No matter how these sailors could have imagined, they would have directly surrounded a school of bluefin tuna, and all of them were more than 200 kilograms. Everyone is a fisherman, and when they see the fish in the same water, they naturally know that their boss has judged the location of the fish.

If someone said that it was Mongolian, no sailor would believe that a school of bluefin tuna was caught in the sea? Then you can really go buy lottery tickets. Because the chances of catching a school of tuna are much smaller than winning the jackpot!

All the onlookers are now stunned by the constant jumping tuna in the fishing area, a scene that can be said to be a lifetime for a fishing sailor. The whole net is bluefin tuna. And it's such a big size.

After a shout, the entire deck seemed to fall silent. The silence could only be heard overhead by the whirring of the helicopter propellers, and the snapping sound of large fish jumping up from the water and slapping on the water.

The one who was most shocked by this scene was Xu Heng. Now Xu Heng looked at such a grand scene in the net and didn't know what to say, his mind was in a mess, and he directly forgot his duties as a boatswain, just holding the walkie in his hand like the sailors, all staring at the black or silver tracks that kept beating at the mouth of the fish picking area.

Why is this happening? Xu Heng kept asking himself in his heart, as a person who is studious and has been working on a fishing boat for almost ten years, Xu Heng still has confidence in the tuna purse seine boat, and even thinks that he is better than the previous captain, as for the current shipyard, to be honest, Xu Heng has not taken it to heart since he learned about it, a rich rookie!

But now the catch of this net is directly like a big slap in the face of Xu Heng. It's not just Xu Heng but all the sailors who have a disdain for the captain in their hearts, but most of these people have selectively forgotten this, and now they are all happily watching the fish.

Xu Heng couldn't figure out where Bei Hai could see that there were schools of tuna under the water, and he had carefully observed the sea just now, there was nothing special at all! This is an adult large tuna, not a 60-centimeter mixed school of small tuna, what is the phenomenon that makes the captain of his own boat sure that there are schools of fish at a depth of several hundred meters? Xu Heng put a big question mark in his heart.

"I'm stunned for what, take the fish!" Diego, who walked out of the bridge with a cigarette in his mouth, saw that all the sailors on his ship had suddenly turned into giraffes and were dead and motionless giraffes, and he couldn't help but roar loudly: "Can the fish still run into the frozen cabin automatically?!" ”。

Diego's voice immediately woke the sailors from their state of shock!

"Let's catch the fish, turn the sling bag for the fish!" Without Xu Heng's command, a sailor shouted loudly, his voice revealing unconcealable pleasure.

"Come on!"

Soon, a ring sling with a diameter of about four meters was hoisted up and then extended to the fish retrieval area through the guò boom. Then it slowly fell under the surface of the water at the mouth of the net, and when it was time to lift it again, the net was loaded with six large tuna.

As the fish went on deck, the whole deck was busy again. Each of the six sailors holds a knife to gutt open the belly of the fish and dig out the gills, and after rinsing, the sailors will use a cart to push the cleaned fish into the freezer, and the whole deck will be transported from the fish to the freezer. Under Xu Heng's command, more than two dozen sailors worked in an orderly manner like diligent worker ants.

The sailors were doing their work seriously, and the first mate, Diego, was lying on the bridge of the boat, smoking a cigarette while watching the waves of large tuna being lifted up from the sea, and the smile on his face could not be hidden.

As the captain of the ship, Bei Hai is embarrassed to fly in the sky anymore, so hurry up and go down, don't waste fuel in vain. This is the first net, and it will be a long time to come!

When the helicopter was back parked on the boat. Bei Hai got off the plane and went straight to the busy sailors on the deck.

"Captain!"

"Captain!"

As one of the sailors saw Bei Hai coming over and raised his head to say hello, all the sailors smiled at Bei Hai, and the continuous greetings rang out on the deck.

"You're busy!" Bei Hai had to keep raising his hand and waving twice, which was considered to be a greeting to the sailors.

Walking to Xu Heng's side, Bei Hai leaned over and looked at the fish area enclosed on the sea and asked, "How long will it take to finish the whole process?" ”。

"At least an hour to an hour and a half!" Xu Heng, who came back to his senses, regained his professional level, and roughly judged how many re-caught fish there were from the net mouth and depth in the sea.

Bei Hai looked back at the busy sailors and said, "You guys calculate the weight of each fish for me, and then we will calculate how many fish we have made in this net!" ”。

"Don't worry, Captain! Let's all count it! There are scales in the cabin! A sailor pushing a fish replied to Bei Hai.

"You get busy first, I'll go back to the bridge," Bei Hai heard that someone remembered, and now there was nothing to say on the deck, and then Shi Shiran walked towards the bridge with his hands behind his back.

After almost two hours, all the work on the deck was over, and Xu Heng shouted to Bei Hai and Diego who were chatting on the bridge: "Captain! In this net, we caught 76.5 tons of bluefin tuna and 1 ton of bigeye tuna! That's a total of 386! ”。

"Wow!"

When the sailors on the deck heard such a catch, some people immediately exclaimed, everyone knew that there were many fish in this net, but they did not expect that there would be so much, 76.5 tons of bluefin tuna, according to the average market price, this net is close to 3.5 million US dollars!

Such a catch is insane!

But as the captain of the ship, Bei Hai didn't have a big reaction when he heard it, and after a look, he found that the sky was okay, and he directly said to the sailors below on the bridge: "Another net!" ”。

"Yes, Captain!"

The enthusiasm of the sailors seemed to rise all at once, sweeping away the gloom of the morning. (To be continued......)
