Chapter 302: Smoke Pipe Fish

And the thorn dolphins pulled up by their nets are conservatively estimated to be 10,000 catties.

Now these little ones are stimulated, not only do they swell up one by one, but they also stand up like hedgehogs, and all the spikes on their bodies are erected.

In fact, this is also a means of self-defense of the spiny dolphin, and the average predator is really a little helpless in the face of this kind of puffed and spiky spiny dolphin.

Even if some predators can swallow them in one gulp, the spines of the dolphin can puncture their internal organs, killing the predator.

"Don't taste the hedgeho turtle, don't know the South China Sea situation", the hedgehog turtle here is the hedgehock, the hedgehog can be said to be one of the very distinctive fish in Hainan, if you have the opportunity to go to Hainan, you must taste the delicious taste of the hedgehog.

And the spiny dolphin can be said to be full of treasures, not only the fish meat can be eaten, the fish skin is its essence, full of collagen, can be used to make soup or porridge, the taste is extremely delicious and smooth, even the seemingly useless spikes of the body, can also be used to concoct medicinal wine, with the effect of dispelling wind and dehumidifying.

"When the sorting will be done, throw the small spiny dolphins under 10 centimeters back into the sea, and let everyone speed up the following sorting progress, the price difference between live and dead spiny dolphins is a lot, and strive to raise them all in the live water tank as soon as possible." Li Xiaofeng said to Han Minghua next to him.

The body length of adult spiny dolphins is generally 20-35 centimeters, and the longest can even grow to 90 centimeters.

Of course, although the harvest of their net is mainly spiny dolphins, it is not only spiny dolphins, but also common fish such as red fish and pufferfish.

"Okay, Fifth Brother." Han Minghua hurriedly agreed, and went directly back to the cabin to conduct on-site command.

"Brother Feng, how about we try some thorn dolphins at noon?" After Han Minghua left, Li Xiaoliang said a little greedily beside him.

In the past, he had only heard how delicious these puffer porpoises, and it was said that they were not even weaker than the puffer fish that people would taste at the risk of death, but he had never eaten them himself.

After catching such expensive seafood, fishermen are generally reluctant to eat it, and they will basically take it to the market and sell it.

Today they caught such a big net, and Li Xiaoliang also knew that Brother Feng was not a stingy person, so he wanted to take this opportunity to taste the taste of spiny porpoises.

"No problem, I'll ask the chef to cook it for everyone at noon!" Li Xiaofeng nodded and said, "But the most important thing for us now is to hurry up and put another net, there are still a lot of thorny dolphins in the water!" ”

"Okay, Brother Feng!"

Li Xiaoliang hurriedly agreed, and then went up to help the crew clean up the trawl net.

It didn't take long for them to seize the time to lay another net, although this net was not as much as the first catch, but it also caught five or six thousand catties of spiny dolphins, and at the same time caught a lot of other fish.

The boats continued to head southeast, and by this time there were already occasional boats from other countries on the sea, although their boats were generally not large. Many fishermen looked at their tall and advanced fishing boats, and they couldn't help but show envious eyes.

Such fishing boats can be said to be a reflection of a country's strength in the field of civil shipbuilding, and in some small countries, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it.

At noon, the chef used several kinds of fish such as spiny porpoise and crab to cook a large pot of seafood porridge for everyone, Li Xiaofeng tasted it, it was extremely delicious, and then he couldn't help but drink a few more bowls.

After eating, they put down another net, and the fish caught in this net were twenty or thirty tons, but basically they were all common sea fish in the South China Sea, such as hairtail fish, peeled fish, and red fish, and there were not many particularly precious fish.

However, although the price of these fish is not high, after all, the amount is there, and this net is also hundreds of thousands of income.

So Li Xiaofeng and the others hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and laid a net, the situation of this net was similar to the previous net, the only difference was that a lot of smoke pipe fish were pulled up.

Smoke pipe fish belongs to the family Baccogas, which is also called catfish in traditional Chinese medicine, and has the effect of clearing heat and diuretic.

There are also many aliases for the smoke pipe fish, such as verbena, fire pipe, fire pipe, bamboo fish, elephant trunk fish, etc., which is a sea fish that looks more like a sea snake than a fish.

There are also many kinds of pipefish, and Li Xiaofeng's net catches the scaly pipefish that live in tropical and subtropical middle and lower waters.

These slender, bright red stubs have a long mouth like a duck's beak, a cylindrical snake-shaped body, and a tail that resembles the tail of a tuna.

When everyone saw the thousands of smoke pipe fish swimming like snakes in the fishing nets, it really made people's hairs stand on end and their scalps tingle.

In particular, Han Minghua's reaction was even greater, and he didn't dare to look at it anymore after a few glances on the side, according to him, it was because he was chased by a snake when he was a child, leaving a deep shadow of his childhood.

Smoked fish is also a relatively cheap seafood, usually in the market is generally only twenty or thirty-one catties, even if the price has risen during the Chinese New Year, it will generally not exceed forty-one catties.

Don't underestimate the increase in the price of these seafood during the New Year, for example, the price of some seafood will even increase several times during the New Year!

They caught 10,000 catties of smoke pipe fish alone in this net, and with other fish, it was hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Such a continuous bumper harvest, even if Li Xiaofeng has a map to view, it is not available everywhere, so the South China Sea, which is known as "half seawater and half fish", is really a feng shui treasure for our fishermen to fish!

After the second net was collected, although it was still early and there was still a long time before it got dark, Li Xiaofeng was not ready to arrange for the crew to go down the third net, but instead commanded Meng Guangming to slowly moor the fishing boat next to a remote reef.

On the surface, there is nothing special about this large reef, it is an ordinary reef composed of coral reefs, and there is a lagoon with an area of more than ten acres in the reef.

The South China Sea is a very suitable environment for the growth of coral reefs, so this reef is not everywhere, but it is definitely not uncommon.

But it was in such an ordinary reef that Li Xiaofeng found a lot of valuable seafood.

There are so many valuable seafood here and there that he is willing to go, so he is ready to take advantage of the fact that there is still some time before it gets dark, and quickly organize the crew to dive down to catch it, so he even gave up the plan to go to the net before dark.
