Chapter 272: Widely distributed cuttlefish and squid

Li Xiaofeng carefully selected the eight Dragon Palace Weng Rong snails and carefully received them into a net pocket that he had brought with him.

After these Dragon Palace Weng Rong snails were put away, he reluctantly glanced at those live Dragon Palace Weng Rong snails, especially the largest one, and then began to choose to float.

During the process of ascending, he did not forget to look at the surrounding map to confirm that there were any dangerous sea creatures around, but fortunately, he was lucky this time, and did not find any particularly dangerous creatures around.

When he swam out of the trench, he found that the big squid he had killed before had disappeared without a trace.

Then Li Xiaofeng took almost twice as long as he dived, slowly rising to the surface of the sea.

When he heard all kinds of noisy sounds from the sea again, a smile could not help but appear on his face, because these sounds were more beautiful than the most beautiful music he had ever heard before.

You know, these sounds used to be noise in his ears! This is probably what people often say, only if you have lost can you know how to cherish it.

When he came to the sea, he even closed his eyes and enjoyed the sounds for a while, before opening the map, discerning the direction, and swimming back at full speed in the direction of his fishing boat.

Even with the help of thrusters, it took more than two hours of trekking before he finally swam back without danger.

It was already close to 2 o'clock in the morning, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief when he looked at the huge steel ship floating on the sea.

At this time, the crew members on the ship had already rested, and only Han Minghua was quietly waiting on the side of the ship.

Receiving the signal from Li Xiaofeng and seeing him return safely, Han Minghua finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the past few hours, he really has a feeling that he is living like a year, although he did not go to the sea with Li Xiaofeng, but he also suffered huge psychological pressure.

Until now, Han Minghua didn't know what the fifth brother was doing when he dived out this time, but he didn't ask much.

With what he knows about the fifth brother, if he can let him know, the fifth brother will naturally tell him, and if he can't let him know, even if he asks the fifth brother, he won't say it, and it will affect the relationship between their brothers.

So after he helped Li Xiaofeng carry his things back to the dormitory, he didn't ask anything, and went back to sleep directly.

Early the next morning, Li Xiaofeng got up normally, washed up, and had breakfast with the crew normally, as if nothing had happened last night.

After breakfast, he commanded two fishing boats to leave the waters of the Dongsha Islands and sail in the direction of the Xisha Islands.

Speaking of which, the South China Sea is really the most abundant fishery resources in China, there are dozens of fishing grounds distributed here, such as the more famous ones include the Beibu Gulf Fishing Ground, the Xisha Islands Fishing Ground, and the Nansha Islands Fishing Ground......

For example, the Xisha Islands that he was preparing to go to this time, there is a local saying that the sea in the Xisha is half water and half fish!

Although this sentence is exaggerated, it is enough to show how rich the fish resources of the Paracel Islands are!

The Paracel Islands are so rich in fish resources because of the large and small islands, sandbars, atolls and reefs that make it a natural fishing ground.

Secondly, because the climate here is hot all year round, the water temperature is very high, which creates favorable conditions for the bloom of various algae, and the abundance of food naturally attracts a large number of fish.

In addition, the water here is almost unpolluted, and it is also very suitable for the growth of corals, which can be the favorite living environment of many fish.

Of course, Li Xiaofeng was not ready to drive the fishing boat over so directly, he definitely wanted to fish along the way while heading towards Xisha.

Unfortunately, he didn't find any precious fish in the morning, but he found quite a few of the common cuttlefish, euphths, and octopuses.

Some people may not be able to figure out the difference between a cuttlefish and a squid, or even that they both have 10 "tentacles".

Cuttlefish is what we call squid, also known as flower branches on the bent side, the general body is relatively rounded, surrounded by skirt-like fins, and there is a relatively hard bone in the body, which is the Chinese medicine sea clam after processing.

The cuttlefish has a strong inkjet ability, which is also the method it uses the longest time to avoid predators.

The body size of the fish is generally relatively slender, with fleshy fins on the body, and most of them are distributed on both sides of the end of the body, and there are translucent cartilages in the body, although there is ink in the body, but it is much less than that of cuttlefish.

However, fish such as cuttlefish, eucarp and octopus are indeed the most widespread and common fish in the sea.

It can be said that from the equator to the poles, from the near sea to the far sea to the bottomless trench, there is no place where they are not seen.

It is precisely because of their wide distribution that they are also the most common seafood on the table of ordinary people. Compared with the price of many seafoods, which are hundreds or thousands of pounds, they can be regarded as very affordable seafood.

No valuable fish were found in the surrounding waters, and Li Xiaofeng could only notify the two fishing boats to start netting them.

The net lasted from morning to noon before Li Xiaofeng informed the two fishing boats to start collecting the nets.

Of course, the results were also brilliant, and their "Deep Blue" alone caught more than 30 tons of cuttlefish, eucarp, octopus and other small trash fish.

The "Harvest Number" on the other end of the walkie-talkie also almost burst the net, catching more than 20 tons of cuttlefish, eucarp and octopus, which made them very happy.

Although the price of these fish is average, as long as the quantity is enough, you can still make a lot of money! For example, the net of the "Deep Blue" is a harvest of more than one million, and although the "Harvest" is a little less than them, it is also a harvest of hundreds of thousands.

What's more, the feeling of being full of fish in this trawl also gives them a sense of accomplishment!

After lunch, they continued their march towards Xisha Islands.

However, this time Li Xiaofeng searched for a long time on the map, but he did not find any targets worthy of being netted.

It's not that there are no fish in the area, but he has to find the right fish to get the fishing boat out of the net, and if it's just these scattered small schools of fish, it really can't be deducted from the fuel money of their fishing boats.

This is probably the trouble of the happiness of large fishing boats, many small fish schools can easily earn tens of thousands of dollars if they are replaced by small fishing boats, but for their fishing boats, this money is really not worth their oil money.
