After the Spring Festival, Qin Shiou ordered a batch of shrimp fishing pots again through Bigfoot Reyek, this time a full order of 1,000 pairs, that is, 2,000, a harvest, if it goes well, you can collect five to ten tons of lobster.

For the seafood market today, five to ten tons of Maine lobsters is a considerable asset, and if the quality of this batch of Maine lobsters is high, the value is even more difficult to estimate.

The impact of Lobster Kiefella on the North American lobster market has begun to show its power this year.

Qin Shiou remembered that when he went to Winnie's house for Christmas for the first time, Winnie's father Mario complained, saying that he usually bought a pair of two-pound lobsters for a little more than 100 Canadian dollars, but that time he spent 400 Canadian dollars to get such a pair of lobsters.

Of course, that was also influenced by Christmas, when no matter what kind of seafood, there was a premium.

But now in the market, even in normal times, a pair of two-pound Boston lobsters can cost $400!

In the past, if it was the fall lobster fishing season, such a pair of lobsters would only cost 40 Canadian dollars. Of course, the spring lobster production is small, and the price is more expensive, but it is a hundred Canadian dollars at most, and now the premium has reached 400%!

After Butler's arrival, Qin Shiou ordered the fishermen to place shrimp pots in the fishing grounds, and the newly ordered 2,000 cages plus the 200 cages purchased when he went to St. Lawrence Bay to catch lobsters, a total of 2,200 shrimp fishing pots, were put into the fishing grounds.

Seeing the fishermen confidently releasing the shrimp pots, Barrett's dark face was full of surprise: "Oh, Shet. Qin, do you still have lobsters in your fishing grounds? As far as I know. Isn't your fishery only two years old? ”

Lobsters grow slowly, generally taking six years to grow to 1 pound. In the United States and Canada, the smallest size of a legally caught live lobster – measured by the length of its carapace – is 3.25 inches, or about a pound.

In other words, lobsters must be at least six or seven years old to meet the fishing regulations. It is estimated that 85-90% of the lobsters caught in North America each year meet this legal size.

That's why Butler is curious, Qin Shiou has only taken over the Daqin Fishery for two years, and there will be a bumper harvest of lobsters in the fishery?

Truly. There is really a bumper harvest of lobsters in Daqin Fishery.

The magic of Poseidon's energy is endless, Qin Shiou has not figured it out now, after the bluefin tuna absorbed Poseidon's energy, their growth rate has not accelerated, but the meat quality has become much better. And after the lobster absorbs the energy of the sea god, it is a crazy rise!

Like the crayfish in Qin Shiou's hometown, the Maine lobster also needs to shed its shell many times in its life to grow up, and they shed their shells about 2 to 3 times a year when they are young and about once a year when they are adults. When it grows to the point where it can be produced, it will basically be shelled 15 or 5 times.

The lobsters in the Daqin Fishery can be shelled once a month, and it is no problem to shell more than ten times a year. So it will be able to produce in more than a year, and Qin Shiou watched the bottom of the fishing ground, and the lobster group was mighty. There is no shortage of large lobsters of a dozen pounds in it.

At normal times, large lobsters grow to a weight of fifteen pounds. That's going to take fifty years! In the Daqin Fishing Grounds, their growth rate only depends on how much Seagod energy they absorb. The more you have, the faster you grow.

Qin Shiou also considered this problem, and he believed that the evolution of species by the energy of the sea god was developing in the direction that they must survive.

For example, bluefin tuna, the higher the fat ratio in their meat, the more energy they reserve, the stronger their swimming ability, and the stronger their survival ability, so Poseidon energy increases the fat content of their meat.

When it comes to Maine lobsters, because there is such a thing as lobster Kiffia in the seawater, they need a more indestructible carapace to protect themselves, so they keep molting - every time the lobster changes shells, the carcass texture will become stronger and better.

What can confirm his guess is also a lobster. There are two kinds of lobsters in Daqin Fishery, one is the rainbow lobster that is put into cultivation for the first time, the carapace mutation of this lobster, with dreamlike colors, is exceptionally hard, not afraid of collision and germ invasion, they molt for a long time, and grow slowly.

The fastest growing ones are the lobsters that were put in later, their carapace has not mutated into rainbow colors, and it is not much different from ordinary Maine lobsters from the outside, and the hardness of the carapace is not much different, so that they molt quickly and grow quickly.

After listening to Butler's question, Qin Shiou explained with a comfortable face: "Man, the reason is very simple, these lobsters are left from the fishing ground before. I think you should know that before I came, my fishing grounds had been vacant for at least twenty years, with a gap of ten years! ”

"No one has come to catch a catch in the past twenty years?" Barrett asked incredulously.

Qin Shiou shrugged and said: "Of course not, this is my grandfather's private fishing ground, he is very prestigious on the island, without his permission, the fishermen would rather go out to sea than come to his fishing ground to fish, so there are so many lobster and marine fish resources." ”

"What a successful recuperation." Butler sighed, "Qin, you guy, you are so lucky, I am very jealous of you, very!" ”

Saying that, he was still a little unconvinced: "Then no one came to steal the fish?" I don't think anyone helped you watch the fishing grounds in those days. ”

Qin Shiou secretly scolded this grandson for being cunning and difficult to deal with, so he had to continue to explain: "They will come to steal fish, but who will be interested in worthless lobsters? You know, in the past, Canada could produce 70,000 tons of lobsters every year! ”

Butler was finally fooled and nodded in agreement with Qin Shiou's statement.

Because of its long coastline and relatively few fishermen, Canada has always had an abundance of lobsters, with about half of North America's total lobster production being caught.

About 75% of these lobsters are caught by small fishing vessels, which usually operate in the waters of St. Lawrence and Newfoundland, where they do not need to be stolen and can be caught above board.

And if it weren't for the Lobster Keffella attack, catching lobsters wouldn't be profitable, so who would want to risk being caught catching something worthless? Pollock and Atlantic cod can be much more expensive.

This is also one of the reasons why Butler said that Qin Shiou was lucky, and as soon as he took over the fishing farm, the world lobster market was in turmoil, which allowed him to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune.

Qin Shiou invited Butler to the villa for a coffee break, the bearded man dragged a chair and sat on the dock, and said: "No, no, no, man, I'm not going, I'm going to stay here, I especially like the spring fishing ground." ”

"I've been to many places, and I've seen beautiful scenery, but your fishing grounds have the most beautiful seawater I've ever seen, and every time I see this crystal clear water, my beating prodigal heart, will be quiet." The bearded man began to express his emotions.

Qin Shiou touched his head and asked, "Do you have a fever or a complaint?" ”

Butler: "......" (To be continued......
