After a few people finished discussing, Li Yonglin, Li Yongmin and Zhang Jianjun went out to the deck together and took all the crew to renovate their crab pots.

In fact, the main thing is to extend the rope that connects the crab pots, otherwise there is no way for these crab pots to go down to the bottom of the sea.

Li Xiaofeng drove the boat alone, preparing to return to the sea where he had found the spider crab before.

The fishing boat drove back for more than an hour before returning to the sea area where there are cold water springs under the seabed, and only in this unique geographical environment can the spider crabs survive under the bottom of the Xisha Sea.

After reaching the edge of the submarine canyon, Li Xiaofeng had to stop the boat. This is because the crab pots on the fishing boat have not yet been renovated, and after stopping the fishing boat, he also came to the deck to help tie the ropes, and also tied some lead sinkers to the crab pots to help them sink to the bottom of the sea.

Everyone was busy for more than an hour before all the crab pots were transformed and then filled with bait one by one.

At this time, everything was ready, only the east wind was owed, Li Xiaofeng said to Li Yongmin: "Third uncle, after you receive my notice in a while, you will arrange for someone to start putting crab pots!" ”

Li Yongmin nodded and said with a smile: "No problem, you can rest assured to sail!" ”

Li Xiaofeng nodded at Li Yongmin, and said to Li Yonglin next to him: "Dad, you follow me to the bridge, wait a minute, you remember the route I ran, I will take you to run twice, and I will go back to the ship!" ”

Li Yonglin also nodded, and seeing that the deck was ready, Li Xiaofeng said hello to everyone, returned to the cockpit, started the fishing boat again, and began to drive above the submarine canyon.

"Third uncle, let's start putting the crab pots now!"

After hearing the announcement on the radio, Li Yongmin immediately arranged for the crew to start throwing crab pots into the deep seabed.

One after another, crab pots that had been filled with bait were thrown along the center of the submarine canyon, and finally sank to the bottomless bottom under the combined action of their own gravity and plumb sinkers.

When each crab pot lands in a school of spider crabs, it causes a commotion among the surrounding spider crabs. Then the surrounding spider crabs will be attracted by the smell of bait in the crab pot, and they will scramble into the crab pot.

In addition to these spider crabs, there are also many white crabs with snow-white bodies and two whiskers, which are also crawled into their crab pots, and these white guys are called white porcelain crabs.

Although fishermen call them white porcelain crabs, and they also have a hard shell, and there are many fluff on their abdomen, which looks like a crab in a crab, but in fact, they are not crabs, but belong to a kind of shrimp, called Ko's submarine shrimp, which is a unique shrimp that lives in the cold seep area of the seabed, and generally lives below a thousand meters in water, which is difficult to see in the market!

Due to years of living on the dark seabed, the eyes of the Koh's submarine shrimp have almost completely degenerated, so how do they hunt?

The answer is that the corktonii shrimp do not need to hunt at all, because the bristles on their abdomen provide shelter for the bacteria that "eat" methane on the seafloor, and these bacteria will produce organic matter through chemosynthesis to provide food for the corktonii shrimp.

This is a typical seabed symbiosis.

Therefore, the Ko's submarine shrimp only needs to bow its head to eat a bite at any time, which can be said to be its own rice bowl.

The density of these Kok's submarine armored shrimp in this seabed cold seep area is also very large, and in some places it can reach hundreds per square meter, and a thick layer is laid under the seabed, like a layer of white tiles on the seabed.

Together with the more densely distributed deep-sea clams on the seafloor, they provide ample food for these submarine spider crabs. This is another reason why spider crabs are so dense on the seabed.

When all the crab pots were thrown into the sea, Li Xiaofeng asked Li Yonglin next to him, "Dad, do you remember the route I drove over just now?" ”

"Almost, next time I come to sail the boat, you can help me correct it next to me!" Li Yonglin said.

After Li Xiaofeng listened, he nodded.

Then he did not choose to continue waiting in this sea area, but drove the boat to another place to pull a net of fish, and after four or five hours, he drove back to collect the crab pots.

It didn't take long for the first buoy to be found, and Li Yongmin also began to direct the crew to start pulling the crab pots up. Li Yonglin couldn't help but come to the deck, staring nervously at the crab pot that was about to come out of the water with Li Yongmin and Zhang Jianjun.

As the first crab pot surfaced and the harvest in the crab pot was clearly seen, there was a huge cheer on the deck!

I saw that the crab pot was almost stuffed with spider crabs and white porcelain crabs, and seeing this kind of scene, Li Yonglin, Li Yongmin and Zhang Jianjun immediately let go of their worries, became red-faced, and were full of confidence in the crab pot behind!

If every crab pot in the back could do this, then they would really be rich again today!

One crew member took the crab pot that had just been salvaged and poured out the crabs, while two others prepared to start tying the spider crabs.

Let's try it soon, everyone. 】

"Be careful, don't get caught by the spider crab!" Li Yongmin reminded the crew members who were preparing to tie up the spider crabs. The long pincers and long sharp legs of these spider crabs still look a bit intimidating.

The long legs of these spider crabs must also find a way to tie them up, otherwise the legs of these spider crabs will be broken and their value will be reduced a lot.

Those spider crabs they caught last time would have cost even more if they hadn't broken many of their legs!

The spider crabs they just caught are larger than the spider crabs they caught in the Okinawa trough last time, and the smallest one weighs nearly ten catties, probably because the food source in the South China Sea is more abundant than the barren Okinawa trough.

Although there are only five spider crabs in this big crab pot, Li Yonglin, Li Yongmin and Zhang Jianjun are already very satisfied, you must know that these five spider crabs alone weigh fifty or sixty pounds, even according to the price they sold last time, this cage of spider crabs is worth twenty or thirty thousand!

And there are still ninety-nine of them in crab pots like this!

As the fishing boat moved slowly, one crab pot after another was collected, and bursts of cheers could be heard from time to time on the deck.

Finally, when all the crab pots were collected, according to the estimates of Li Yonglin, Li Yongmin, and Zhang Jianjun, there should be about 4,000 catties of spider crabs and more than 1,000 catties of white porcelain crabs caught today.

And the spider crabs and white porcelain crabs they caught are really just a drop in the bucket compared to the huge crab colony that can almost be called a flood under the seabed!

And this time it's on the territory of our own country, and we don't have to hide from anyone, so they can calmly continue to play the second round of crab pots.
