Chapter 272: Black Tiger Prawn Swarm
However, Li Xiaofeng had not encountered this situation before, so he was still very patient and continued to look for fish.
But Li Xiaoliang didn't know what the reason was today, and he came in one after another to ask him when he could get off the net, and finally Li Xiaofeng couldn't bear it and kicked him out of the cockpit.
He was thinking about whether to put a sign on the cockpit, which read, "Li Xiaoliang is forbidden to enter, and every time he violates the rules, he will be punished for one month and not allowed to step into the foot washing shop!" ”
He just thought wildly while boredly continuing to check the map.
Finally, more than an hour later, when his gaze swept over a corner of the map again, he finally made an important discovery!
His eyes lit up, and he instantly came to his senses.
He said to Meng Guangming, who was driving the boat next to him: "Guangming, you are now on the left helm at twenty degrees, and then quickly increase the speed of the boat to about twelve knots!" ”
"Yes, Captain!" Meng Guangming replied immediately.
Then he picked up the walkie-talkie again and began to inform the fishing boat "Harvest" that was sailing next to them, not far from them.
"Is the Harvest here, is the Harvest not there?"
"Harvest received!" This time it was Zhang Jianjun's voice on the walkie-talkie.
"Uncle Zhang, you immediately rudder to the left twenty degrees, and then increase the speed to about twelve knots, and wait for my notice when the time comes, ready to go to the net at any time!"
"Harvest received!" Zhang Jianjun's slightly excited voice came from the walkie-talkie.
After all, he has also cooperated with Li Xiaofeng for so long, and he knows more or less about Li Xiaofeng's style of doing things, and knows that this must be something good that Li Xiaofeng has discovered again.
Hearing the conversation on the walkie-talkie, Han Minghua and Li Xiaoliang also came to the cockpit from the deck together.
Li Xiaoliang said excitedly: "Brother Feng, are we going to go online soon, everyone is too bored to wait!" ”
Li Xiaofeng glanced at him and said expressionlessly: "It's not that everyone is boring, it should be that you are bored!" ”
When Han Minghua heard this, he also said with a smile next to him: "Every time this guy loses in a card game, when he wants to be sticked, he will use the excuse to come over and ask you when you will go online!" ”
Li Xiaoliang smiled beside him and didn't speak. Li Xiaofeng was also speechless when he heard this.
The fishing boat told it to drive forward for more than an hour before Li Xiaofeng began to inform the two fishing boats to lower their nets.
At this time, a few nautical miles in front of them, under the water more than twenty meters deep, there were countless dense blue-black figures with black and earthy yellow stripes.
This is a super-large group of black tiger prawns, and the sea is dense as far as the eye can see, and there are countless black tiger shrimp of all sizes!
The black tiger prawn is also called the big tiger prawn, the tiger prawn, mainly because of the black-brown and earthy yellow horizontal stripes on its body, which resembles the patterns on the tiger's body.
It is also the largest of the shrimps, larger than the nine-section shrimp that Li Xiaofeng had caught before.
Some large black tiger prawns are even comparable to the arm length of adults, and the largest black tiger prawns can even grow to weigh more than a catty, which can be called the giant of shrimps, and because of the super high astaxanthin content in their bodies, they are known as the "king of astaxanthin"!
Black tiger shrimp are also very widely distributed, from Japan, South Korea, China's seas, the Philippines, Indonesia, Australia, Thailand and India, to the east coast of Africa.
Black tiger prawns are one of the most popular varieties of prawns on the market due to their firm flesh, fresh and sweet taste, large size and high meat yield.
Although artificial breeding has been realized in China, the breeding technology is not too mature, and there have even been a large number of deaths of black tiger shrimp in the farm for unknown reasons, which has also led to many black tiger shrimp farmers losing their money.
This incident also caused many farmers to no longer dare to breed them on a large scale and at high density.
At present, China's black tiger shrimp supply is still unable to meet the needs of the domestic market, so it is necessary to import a large number of black tiger shrimp from abroad every year, and it is said that 70% of Vietnam's total black tiger shrimp production is exported to China.
In different regions of our country, the price difference of black tiger shrimp is also very large, and it can even be more than doubled.
In the market of Li Xiaofeng's hometown, the price of black tiger prawns is not cheap.
Generally, 20-30 heads/jin of small black tiger shrimp also cost forty or fifty yuan a catty, if it is about 15 heads/catty of shrimp, it can be sold to 50~60 yuan/catty, 6-10 heads/jin of prawns, has risen to 70~80 yuan/catty, and larger ones can even be sold for more than 100 catties.
If the black tiger shrimp caught in the wild sea, the price will naturally be higher.
Especially like this time before now, but it is the time when the price of all kinds of seafood is the most expensive, such as the kind of oversized black tiger shrimp, which has been sold for more than 200 yuan a catty!
Looking at the huge group of black tiger shrimp in front of him, which stretched for several kilometers, Li Xiaofeng was also very excited, if he caught it, it would really be a huge fortune.
He suppressed the excitement in his heart and said to Meng Guangming, who was driving the boat next to him: "Guangming, you rest for a while, I'll drive the boat!" ”
"Yes, Captain!" Meng Guangming hurriedly gave up the driver's seat.
After Li Xiaofeng took over the fishing boat, he did not forget to command the "Harvest" fishing boat next to him.
"Has the Harvest received it?"
"Harvest number, received!"
"Turn your direction at once, and head toward you at ten o'clock!"
"Harvest received!"
……
Li Xiaofeng commanded two fishing boats and drove in the direction of the black tiger shrimp school.
The fishing nets dragged behind the fishing boat, under the action of the current, were like a huge package that opened out, and a large area of black tiger shrimp was enveloped in it at once.
And as the fishing boat continues to advance, there are more and more black tiger shrimp wrapped in the trawl, and even a short time later, a huge shrimp ball is formed at the bottom of the trawl!
After receiving the fright of the trawling net, the black tiger shrimp group quickly dispersed into several groups and fled in all directions.
Li Xiaofeng drove the fishing boat, and constantly adjusted the direction of the fishing boat with the changes in the shrimp group in the sea.
But even so, when the two fishing boats sailed over the shrimp school, they probably caught about 70% of the black tiger shrimp in the shrimp group, and there were still a lot of black tiger shrimp left in the sea.
However, Li Xiaofeng did not look back, and planned to catch them all, after all, sustainable development is the last word.
Although they had already sailed past the black tiger shrimp school, Li Xiaofeng did not immediately notify the fishing boat to start collecting the nets.
Instead, he continued to drive the fishing boat, drove forward for more than an hour, and after collecting the few small fish he encountered along the way into the net, he picked up the walkie-talkie on the bridge and notified Li Xiaoliang on the deck to start collecting the net.
