Chapter 161: Smooth Fishing
Luo Laosi began to go to the net.
Chen Yuan contacted Lin Xinhai alone: "Master, let's go over and help."
"I'll go with you." Lin Xinhai then explained some things to Lin Xinmin, and continued to turn on the fish trap lamp at night, and if there was a large school of fish coming over, then release the net.
If there are no large schools of fish, just keep waiting.
Chen Yuan went over to pick up Lin Xinhai, waited until the Lixia put down the two assault boats, and went to Luo Laosi's side together.
Luo Laosi's fence had already been put down, and when he saw Chen Yuan and them coming, he said on the walkie-talkie, "Get up tomorrow morning?"
"We're going down to check if there's anything missing." Chen Yuan said, "First straighten the seine and pull it outward, and then seal both ends of the seine net."
Luo Laosi had seen their bottom seine netting operation before and guided the process.
"It's night, and you have to pay special attention to safety when you go down." Lin Xinhai admonished.
"Don't worry."
Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng have already put on their equipment, wearing diving lights on their heads, and cameras: "Try connecting to Bluetooth." Chen Yuan turned on the camera and looked at Lin Xinhai.
Lin Xinhai connected the camera: "There is a picture."
"We're in the water."
"Okay. You have to act together."
Zhou Sheng made an OK gesture.
Chen Yuan and the others had just entered the water, and Luo Laosi came over in an assault boat: "Chen Yuan, have they gone down?"
Lin Xinhai said "um" and showed his phone to Luo Laosi: "Go to your boat." said, Lin Xinhai looked at He Fei and them again: "You guys pay attention to safety."
"Okay."
"Yes."
Lin Xinhai went to the Luo Lao No. 4, a relatively new purse seine fishing vessel with a length of nearly 40 meters.
"What now?" Luo Laosi looked at Lin Xinhai's mobile phone screen, Chen Yuan and the others had already dived to the bottom of the sea and were checking along the edge of the seine net.
Lin Xinhai said, "Check the fence first and see ......."
In the picture, the sinker of the purse seine net has a circle on top of a large rock, and there are two large gaps at the bottom of the net.
Chen Yuan: They didn't move the seine net, and now the seine net is sinking into a large circle, and the seine net needs to be straightened first.
Waiting for Chen Yuan and them to surface in the sea, Lin Xinhai commanded the assault boat and the sampan to come over to straighten the seine net.
This is a 130-meter-deep purse seine net, relatively light, use an assault boat to straighten the purse seine net, if it really can't be tied to the fishing boat of the fourth with a hook rope, the purse seine net is straightened.
The first to straighten was the crack in the rock, and after the purse seine was straightened, Chen Yuan and the others quickly went down to drag the sinker of the seine to the bottom of the sea.
The next thing is to straighten the two ends of the fence, and then Chen Yuan and the others use the straps to close the two ends of the fence. Once you've done that, the most important step is complete. As long as there are no big mistakes in the back, you won't run fish.
Luo Laosi watched Chen Yuan and them work under the dark sea, and sometimes the beam of light hit the fish......
The darkness, the beams of light on the bottom of the sea, the big fish, often give a chilling feeling.
After the two sides of the purse seine were closed, they continued to straighten the seine net, and after all of them were straightened, Chen Yuan and the others continued to dive down to check the bottom of the net, and then closed the bottom of the net.
Check the bottom of the net and close the brackets.
The process was very slow, and Chen Yuan and the others stayed underwater for thirty or forty minutes.
There are many corals underwater, and it takes manpower to pull the sinking of the purse seine net, or it is hanging to the bottom.
If the brackets are forcibly withdrawn, they may be recovered, or they may not be recovered at all. And even if you take it back, you don't know how many fish you will have to run.
Chen Yuan: They dived seven times or eight times. The seabed in this sea area is too complicated, and the entire net collection process requires Chen Yuan's cooperation.
From nine o'clock until the sky turned white, that is, after four o'clock in the morning, the brackets of the seine net were closed this time.
Chen Yuan and the others surfaced and got on the fishing boat.
The fishing boat followed away from the purse seine, and Lin Xinhai breathed a sigh of relief: "It's up to you next."
"Okay." Luo Laosi let out a long breath and looked at Chen Yuan: "This job is really not easy."
"Ordinary people can't do it."
Luo Laosi nodded: "In the future, it is better to do less work on the bottom circumference, this is really not something that can be done ordinarily."
Lin Xinhai shrugged: "The bottom circumference is a last resort, there are too few fish here. After this bottom, we still found the upper layer fish...... I'll go to Chen Yuan and them to have a look."
"Okay. I'll take care of the rest of the work, don't worry."
Lin Xinhai contacted He Fei and asked him to come and pick him up.
got on the fishing boat, Lin Xinhai looked at Yang Xun: "Chen Yuan, what about them?"
"I'm going to the cabin to take a shower." Yang Xundao.
On Luo Laosi's side, Luo Laosi could complete the rest of the work by himself, so he called the other two kayaks to return to the Xinhai side.
"Master." Chen Yuan came out of the shower and saw Lin Xinhai sitting in the cabin.
"How does it feel? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Nope." Chen Yuan shrugged: "Ask Zhou Sheng, I don't know him."
Zhou Sheng also took a shower and came out.
"Are you feeling unwell?"
Repeated diving is prone to barotrauma.
Zhou Sheng also shrugged his shoulders: "The water here is shallow, and I don't feel any discomfort."
"The next platform is out." Lin Xinhai's voice came from Luo Laosi's voice on the walkie-talkie: "Chen Yuan, are they okay?"
"It's fine. We went back, got the fish, and came to meet us."
"Okay."
Chen Yuan and the others sat and smoked a cigarette, and after returning to the Xinhai, they stopped the boat and cooked noodles.
The water depth of more than seventy meters is not a burden for Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng, but they have not rested for too long and are a little sleepy.
Yesterday was a day, and now ...... It's almost dawn.
Lin Xinhai sent someone from Xin to be on duty to let Chen Yuan and them rest.
"After the Shinkai is off the net, will it be able to go back?" Yang asked.
"I guess it's early." Zhou Sheng smiled and said, "What's the matter, I'm homesick."
"It's been a long time on this fishing boat, and it's a little uncomfortable."
He Fei also said, "Me too."
"Do you want someone else?" Chen Yuan asked.
"Not really. If you can't stand it anymore, let's talk about it."
The cabin of the Shengyuan is small, and it shakes a lot at the slightest wave. However, Yang Xun and He Fei are used to it now, but they feel a little depressed.
It's similar to the feeling of closing a small dark room.
Luo Laosi's catch is not very large.
Through the observation of the fishing boat, it is estimated that ...... Ten or twenty tons.
This catch is relatively ordinary in Chen Yuan's opinion. Luo Laosi's side was ready to catch the fish immediately......
When the first net of fish was caught, Luo Laosi's whole person was excited, and there were some valuable catches inside.
The first net was more than 1,000 catties of fish, including a few tuna, and then there were real sea bream, spiny sea bream, and a lot of groupers, as well as some reef fish.
A fish collector is made, and a layer of Antarctic shrimp is laid on the seabed, which can attract fish from a radius of several square kilometers. It would be strange if there was less of this net.
More than a dozen tons and twenty tons of fish are really not much for Chen Yuan.
In the past, purse seine nets off the coast of Chile often caught dozens of tons of fish in one net. Hundreds of tons of fish are caught, not to mention often encountered...... On average, once a month, there are still some.
Even more fish were caught in the bottom purse seine nets.
Accustomed to seeing these, I really don't have much feeling about a net of more than ten or twenty tons of fish.
But the difference is that in the past, Chen Yuan fished for the company, took a dead salary, and paid very little dividends.
Now fishing, Chen Yuan and they share dividends proportionally. A net of more than ten tons, as long as there are many valuable fish, the money distributed to Chen Yuan and them is still very considerable.
