Chapter 130: Cod Fishing
But Li Xiaofeng couldn't go back to the cabin to sleep, because someone had to be on duty on the fishing boat, the cockpit.
But he doesn't have to keep an eye on the surrounding waters, as the fishing boats have anti-collision warning systems.
Once the system detects that a commercial fishing vessel is approaching within 3 nautical miles of the surrounding area, and the encounter distance is less than 800 meters, the system will automatically issue an alarm.
So Li Xiaofeng directly brought a mat and two quilts, and slept directly in the cockpit.
By the time Li Xiaofeng woke up, it was already half past ten in the morning. Li Yonglin was looking at the charts from the side.
Seeing that Li Xiaofeng woke up, he smiled and said, "Did I disturb you?" ”
"No, Dad, why didn't you call me just now?" Li Xiaofeng said a little embarrassed.
Everyone woke up, but only he, the captain, was still sleeping.
Li Yonglin said with a smile: "I just saw that you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't call you, anyway, it's not bad." ”
Then he said, "Feng Cub, which direction will we go in a while?" ”
Li Xiaofeng opened the map, observed it carefully, and said, "Dad, let's go northeast!" ”
Li Yonglin nodded and said, "Okay, I'll drive the boat, you go wash up." ”
By the time Li Xiaofeng finished washing up and came back from breakfast, Li Yonglin had already driven the fishing boat to the southeast for more than a dozen nautical miles.
When Li Xiaofeng came to the cockpit, Li Yonglin, Li Yongmin and Zhang Jianjun were all there, and Zhang Jianjun was driving the fishing boat.
He looked at the map again, pretended to stare at the sonar and fish finder for a while, and said to Zhang Jianjun, who was driving the boat: "Uncle Zhang, you have five degrees on your right rudder, drive in this direction, and we will find a place to lower the crab pot into the sea in a while." ”
"No problem" Zhang Jianjun agreed while adjusting the direction of the fishing boat.
The boat drove forward for another half an hour, and Li Yonglin, Li Yongmin and the crew were already standing on the deck at this time, waiting for Li Xiaofeng's notice and ready to release the crab pot at any time.
Seeing that the fishing boat had approached the area where the seabed crabs gathered in his choice, Li Xiaofeng said to Zhang Jianjun: "Uncle Zhang, reduce the speed of the fishing boat to less than five knots!" ”
When Zhang Jianjun heard this, he nodded, and the fishing boat began to slow down.
After another ten minutes, Li Xiaofeng turned on the radio and announced: "Start putting crab pots!" ”
After receiving Li Xiaofeng's notice, the people on the deck immediately became busy.
Someone is responsible for loading the bait into the blue bait box, someone is responsible for loading the bait box into the crab pot, someone is responsible for transferring the crab pot, someone is responsible for fastening the crab pot to the rope, and someone is responsible for releasing the crab pot into the sea at a certain speed.
It looks like the deck is busy, but it's actually busy and orderly.
Crab pots are dropped into the sea at a distance of 10 meters.
The crab pots are also equipped with GPS locators on the buoys, so that they can easily find the crab pots in the vast sea.
The crab pots are also cake-shaped crab pots, but they are larger than the crab pots that Li Xiaofeng's family used to put in the offshore waters.
After a short period of work, 200 crab pots were put into the sea.
Only bring these crab pots, this is mainly because Li Xiaofeng's fishing boat is a trawler, not a professional crab fishing boat.
If it is a professional crab fishing boat, they can carry thousands of crab pots at a time.
After the crab pot was put into the sea, according to Li Xiaofeng's request, everyone also put the trawl into the sea, and the depth of the net was set to the maximum, at this time the fishing boat also began to accelerate, and finally moved forward at a constant speed.
It's all over, and it's time to eat again.
Li Xiaofeng said to Zhang Jianjun: "Uncle Zhang, you go to eat first, I'll drive the fishing boat, and ask the chef to bring me a copy later." At noon, everyone can drink a little less beer and take a break. I'll let you know when the net is closed. ”
Zhang Jianjun pursed his lips, nodded, and was not polite to him, and handed him the bridge.
Mainly because he hasn't drunk for a few meals, and he really misses it a little.
Although according to the previous rules, no one on the ship is allowed to drink liquor, and the amount of beer must be limited, but something is better than nothing.
The fishing boat headed deeper into the sea.
When I was in the port, I felt that the big fishing boat was like a small leaf in the sea, fluttering in the sea with the waves.
This time, Li Xiaofeng's target was mainly cod.
Cod, also known as big-headed blue, big-headed fish, and mentai fish in some places, is a fish that is widely distributed in the world's major oceans.
It generally lives in the middle and lower layers of the ocean and belongs to cold-water fish. In China, it is mainly distributed in the Bohai Sea, the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea.
The flesh of cod is as white as jade, delicious and nutritious.
Fish is not only high in protein, but also has a fat ratio of only 0.5%.
In addition, the liver of cod is also a good thing, containing a variety of amino acids and vitamins necessary for the human body, so in foreign countries, cod is also known as "dietitian on the table".
Because of this, cod is also one of the most caught fish in the world.
Despite the fact that cod is one of the most caught fish in the world, real cod is not cheap in our country.
Generally, the price of real Pacific cod is on their side, and it can be sold for 100 to 150 yuan a catty.
If it's Alaskan black cod, the price will be higher.
But there are also a lot of cheap cod in the market, and the price of a pound is even only a dozen yuan.
Even in the live broadcast room of some Internet celebrities, the price of cod was sold by them, 99 yuan and 7 catties, and SF Express free shipping.
In fact, when you see this price, you know that they are definitely not real cod, if they are real cod, according to their selling method, how much money is not enough to lose.
Nowadays, there are indeed a variety of cod sold in the market, such as silver cod, water cod, dragon cod, deep-sea cod, oil fish, etc., but you must know that these are not real cod.
In fact, there are only three types of real cod, Pacific cod, Atlantic cod, and Greenland cod.
In particular, those who use oily fish to pass off as cod are really very immoral.
The body of oily fish contains wax fats that cannot be digested by the human body.
This wax grease is mainly used for industrial refining lubricating oil, which is difficult for the human body to digest and absorb. Once consumed, it will accumulate in the rectum, which will directly lead to diarrhea, gastrointestinal cramps and other discomforts, and even life-threatening in severe cases.
Therefore, this fish is strictly forbidden to be used for food in many countries, but it is still not banned in our country, which gives some people an opportunity to take advantage of.
In this way, the fishing boat sailed on the sea for more than three hours, and now everyone is rested, and after receiving the notice from Li Xiaofeng that he is ready to set up the net, everyone is quickly in position.
Seeing that everyone was ready in the monitoring, Li Xiaofeng gave an order, and Li Yongmin started the net winder again.
