Chapter 234: The First Fish in Southern Fujian

The two fishing boats, which had laid their nets, began to speed up together, basically in a parallel state. At this time, Li Xiaofeng was also keeping an eye on the fish, directing the two fishing boats to fine-tune the direction and slowly approach.

Han Minghua, who was staring at the fish finder in the cockpit, suddenly had a happy face, and then pointed at the fish finder radar with a trembling voice and said to Li Xiaofeng: "Fifth brother, come over and see if there is a super big fish school ahead!" ”

Although Li Xiaofeng already knew the answer, at this time, he still had to pretend to be surprised and quickly came to the side of the fish detection radar, and looked at the screen with Han Minghua.

At this time, the radar screen can see that the front is densely packed, full of red dots, and fishermen naturally understand what these red dots represent.

Then it didn't take long for Li Yongmin's excited voice to come from the walkie-talkie in Li Xiaofeng's hand: "Xiaofeng, now we have found a very large school of fish in front of us on the fish detection radar, have you seen it?" ”

Li Yongmin only said on the walkie-talkie at this time that this was because the fish-detecting radar on Li Xiaofeng's ship was more advanced and the detection range was farther.

"Third uncle, we also saw it!" Li Xiaofeng said with a smile, "This school of fish is indeed not small, it seems that we are going to have a bumper harvest in this net!" ”

As soon as Li Xiaofeng finished speaking, the laughter of Zhang Jianjun and Li Yonglin also came from the walkie-talkie, obviously the two of them were also next to Li Yongmin, and now they were happy to meet such a big school of fish.

The fishing boat continued to move forward without slowing down, and at this time, Li Xiaoliang, who heard that a large school of fish had been found on the walkie-talkie, also ran to the cockpit to see the fish finder.

After a while, the fishing boat had already come to the top of the fish they found, and seeing the thickness of the fish displayed in the fish finder, Han Minghua and Li Xiaoliang's mouths couldn't close with a smile, such a large school of fish is really uncommon.

"Brother Feng, how about I go out and tell the crew on the ship about the news, so that everyone can be happy together?" Li Xiaoliang asked Li Xiaofeng excitedly.

Li Xiaofeng thought for a moment and nodded to him.

He didn't think it was a bad thing, after all, most of the crew on board were new, and knowing the news would also have a positive effect on boosting their morale.

After getting Li Xiaofeng's consent, Li Xiaoliang excitedly trotted all the way to the deck. Soon the crew of the entire fishing boat knew the good news, and every crew member on the fishing boat had a smile on their faces, and the fishing boat was also filled with a joyful atmosphere.

In this way, the fishing boat continued to move forward for six or seven nautical miles, and Li Xiaofeng, who had been staring at the map, also felt that the time was almost up, and now it was time to reel in the net.

He said to Han Minghua next to him: "Huazi, you organize our fishing boat to prepare to collect the nets, and I will now notify the harvest to start collecting the nets as well!" ”

"Okay, Fifth Brother!" Han Minghua readily agreed, and then picked up the radio next to the bridge to make a notification, and after the notification, he also walked quickly towards the stern.

Li Xiaofeng also held the walkie-talkie here, and began to notify the "Harvest Number" not far away to start closing the net.

"Please reply when you receive the harvest number, please reply when you receive the harvest number!"

"Harvest received!"

"We're ready to start collecting the nets, and you guys can start collecting the nets too!"

"The harvest number is received, and we will start collecting the net immediately!"

……

After the notice, Li Xiaofeng also held the walkie-talkie in his hand and walked quickly towards the stern.

When he came to the back deck, he found that the place was already full of crew, almost all the crew members of the "Deep Blue" had gathered here, and everyone was staring at the trawl net being pulled up, and their eyes were full of anticipation.

Although Li Xiaofeng felt that this was very inappropriate, because this was the first net on the new ship, he didn't say anything.

At this time, I don't know where countless seagulls flew in, hovering in the sky behind their fishing boats.

Seeing this situation, some crew members who have had experience in going to sea before know that there will definitely be no shortage of fish in this net today, otherwise these thief birds with sharp noses will not gather over.

Sure enough, with the continuous rotation of the net winder, although the trawl has not yet been dragged onto the fishing boat, some of the bulging trawl nets have gradually begun to surface.

After seeing the trawl net surface with the catch, the countless seagulls that were hovering in the air immediately swarmed up and flew towards the surfacing trawl, and then landed on the trawl and began to peck at the fish in the trawl frantically.

This also made Li Xiaoliang, who was standing at the stern, scold them for being a group of robber birds!

At this time, a sharp-eyed crew member standing next to Li Xiaoliang also saw the catch in the trawl clearly, and he said to Li Xiaoliang excitedly: "Brother Liang, it seems that all the fish in this trawl are noon!" ”

"What, it's all noon fish! You read that right? Li Xiaoliang hurriedly asked.

You must know that the status of noon fish in the hearts of many fishermen on the southeast coast is still very high, and the price is certainly not cheap!

"Brother Liang, I'm sure what I saw just now was a noon fish!" The crew member named Yuan Jiming said to Li Xiaoliang with a sworn face.

Hearing this, Li Xiaoliang also hurriedly looked towards the sea, but at this time, there were not many places where the trawl net surfaced, and now there were seagulls standing above, where could he see clearly what kind of fish was in the net?

But thinking that the trawl is full of noon fish, and they are now being pecked by these countless robber birds, Li Xiaoliang is simply heartbroken, and he can't help but die!

You must know that this is a noon fish, this is the number one fish in the hearts of many Hokkien people and Guangdong Province!

In the coastal areas of southern Fujian and Chaoshan, there is a saying of "one noon, two red, three pomfrets, and four horses", and there are also some places that it is "one noon, two pomfrets, three pomfrets, and four horses".

It can be said that no matter how people arrange it, the noon fish is the number one fish in the hearts of many people on the southeast coast, which shows people's love for it!

In some places, the noon fish is also called the horse fish, or the king fish, the bamboo shoot fish, the sacrificial fish, etc., its scientific name is actually called the four-fingered mackerel, which belongs to the family mackerel.

The body of the fish is long and flat, and the most important feature of this species is that there are four slender free fins under the pectoral fin, which are basically the same length as the pectoral fin itself - this is also the origin of the scientific name of the four-fingered mackerel.

The maximum lifespan of the noon fish is about 7 years, and it is mainly found in the western Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, but also along our southeast coast.

Due to its small gill operculum, small and distant gill filaments, and poor oxygen exchange capacity, the noon fish will die immediately once it leaves the water.

This also makes it difficult to keep the fish fresh and difficult to enter inland areas.
