After waking up, Chen Yuan and the others returned to their position yesterday.

and Yang Xun changed shifts, Zhou Sheng drove the boat, and Chen Yuan put a circle of drones behind.

In the next few days, Chen Yuan chose to wait for the rabbit and kept guarding the inner 30-kilometer range of the Bass Strait. Through the observation during this time, there are quite a few trawlers here, and there are more gillnet nets.

It was already December 21st, Chen Yuan decisively gave up his stubborn defense and led the fleet to the west.

In the past few days, only one net has been laid, a small school of mackerel, a total of more than 1,000 catties of fish.

Today's swells are a bit big, and the fishing boats are uncomfortably bumpy at sea.

"It's the end of the month, is the Far Star 55 ready?" Zhou Sheng looked at Chen Yuan, who was releasing the drone, and asked.

"How do I know?"

"Do you want to ask Shin Shin to come over and have a look." Zhou Sheng said, "I really don't want to drive this ship."

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "When Yuanxing 55 comes back, Master is estimated to be red-eyed."

Zhou Sheng smiled: "With 2,000 horsepower, can this fleet withstand it?"

"I guess I can't stand it." Chen Yuan also laughed: "The three engines are full of horsepower, I estimate that Lin Xinhai is going to scold us."

"You should find a few more big schools of tuna." When the time comes, not to mention the full horsepower...... As long as there are a few big schools of tuna, we can wave as much as we want."

"Tuna is not a silver carp raised in a pond, so it's so easy to find."

Chen Yuan also wanted to find a school of tuna, and last night he dreamed of a school of oversized tuna, hundreds of tons of the kind.

"I don't know if I can make a big net before the Chinese New Year." Zhou Sheng said: "If you make a big net, you can almost rest."

Chen Yuan stretched and put the drone back.

The sky is blue, the white clouds, the sea.

I saw too much, and that's it.

"12 o'clock, pick up the pace." After the boat fell silent, Chen Yuan suddenly shouted.

"Fish?"

"I saw the birds."

Chen Yuan saw a small black dot in the sky.

Chasing fish in the sea, when there is no goal and feeling at a loss, chasing birds is a good choice.

Chen Yuan's fishing boat suddenly accelerated, and Lin Xinhai saw it through the radar, and hurriedly asked, "Have you found anything?"

"I saw a flock of birds, so I chased them and tried it." Chen Yuandao.

"This is the South China Sea, close to the land, chasing birds, I don't think there's anything to do." Hayashi Shinkaido.

"There's nothing to do now, and the direction of the bird is also on the way."

"Shall we catch up?" Luo Laosi asked.

"Yes. You come quickly, Master, just come slowly. Your ship, speeding up is about the same as not accelerating." Chen Yuan also complained.

Then I heard the laughter of Luo Lao Si on the radio.

Chasing the birds, I chased them directly until it was dark, and I saw that these birds were going abroad, and I didn't find them.

Zhou Sheng spit out one word, "Gan".

"Did you find anything?" In the evening, Lin Xinhai contacted Chen Yuan.

"Nope. Asuka has gone abroad."

"I just said, this side is too close to Philippine Island, and I didn't have to chase birds."

Chen Yuan deflected the course and headed north, facing Luo Laosi's route.

"Don't worry, calm down." Luo Laosi comforted.

"Let's go directly to Xisha, the fishing boat is going to be refueled." Hayashi Shinkaido.

"Have you contacted the tanker?"

"It's connected."

"Okay, go to Xisha, then transfer to Zhongsha, and then cruise back." Chen Yuandao.

"Come back, and go to the Bass Strait?"

"Of course."

Chen Yuan is still not used to looking for fish in the "inland sea", the inland sea, the terrain of the seabed is complicated. In the sea where the ocean currents meet, there are many fish and fishing boats.

Small currents occasionally have fish, but these currents hedge over time

from one to the next.

Small currents are mainly influenced by tides, then by the topography of the seabed, and by regional temperature differences.

Two days later, I came to Xisha and just came over, and encountered a strong convective weather.

Chen Yuan and the others quickly hid in the sheltered harbor of the artificial reef, where there were supply ships, and the two fishing boats were resupplied again.

In the heavy rain, Chen Yuan tied the fishing boat to the side of Luo Laosi's fishing boat and climbed onto the boat.

Lin Xinhai is settling accounts.

This time, I came out to catch 890,000 fish, but the cost was more than expected. In less than a month, 1.18 million yuan was used.

Mainly in the area of fuel consumption.

I run during the day and often rush at night.

Many times people rest, but boats do not rest, so the cost is naturally large.

The 1.18 million yuan is not calculated for the cost of this supply.

After this supply, there is still 1.234 million yuan on the books.

"How much money is on the books?" Luo Laosi handed Lin Xinhai a cigarette.

"$1,234,000." Lin Xinhai said: "If there is no better catch in the coming time, our fleet will be disbanded before the Chinese New Year."

"It's too expensive to catch tuna." Luo Laosi also took a deep breath.

"If you don't look at the configuration of our team, if only we had a big tuna purse seine boat." Lin Xinhai sighed, if you want to engage in tuna, you have to be a high-power distant-water fishing boat to do it, and go to the high seas.

Now nesting in the inland sea, Chen Yuan's side can't play at all.

At first, Chen Yuan was looking for a place for the small ocean current to hedge, but in the later time, Chen Yuan was completely lucky, and there was no discipline.

But these can't say anything about Chen Yuan, and it takes a lot of effort to find a position for the small ocean current to hedge. They've looked for a lot of them before, but nothing has come of it.

That night, the wind blew, but the sea was not calm, Chen Yuan and the others rested for a day, and then went down the three nets in Xisha.

Luo Laosi's net, the smallest net is estimated to be only three or four hundred catties. The largest net, about 1,000 catties.

There is also a net, seven or eight hundred catties.

The climate in the Xisha Sea is hot, the water temperature is very high all year round, and a large number of corals grow.

Coral crest also brings a rich bait base and superior habitat conditions for fish growth and reproduction.

The Xisha Islands are surrounded by huge reefs, the water is shallow and clear, and there is an environment for the growth of shallow reef fish, and the depth of the outer reef increases suddenly, which is a deep-water environment suitable for the life of oceanic fish.

In Xisha, there are hundreds of catties in a net, which is a lot. And it's also worth going netting.

Most of the fish species here belong to the reef fish fauna, such as moray eels, snappers, alfonsino and fins.

And there are oceanic awakening fish, mackerel, swordfish, flying fish, etc. Among them, there are more than a dozen kinds of spiny wahoo, tuna, tuna and so on.

There are more valuable fish here, a few hundred catties in size, and you can also do it.

Moreover, there are many frozen ships that buy fish in Xisha, and they can be sold directly after they are caught, and the price is relatively good.

Three nets of fish, a total of 2,340 catties, were sold for 79,000 yuan.

When he came to Zhongsha, Chen Yuan used remote sensing to find another school of fish, and Luo Laosi hurried over to get the net: "I feel that it is not bad to find small fish, especially in Xisha, where there are many valuable fish, tens of thousands of yuan a day, 30 days a month, and more than 1 million."

If the net is unloaded every day, the expenses of the fleet will not be so large. In the fishing area, many times the fishing boat is parked, so there is not so much fuel consumption.

"Look for tuna, keep looking." Lin Xinhai said: "The funds are still sufficient, at least until the Chinese New Year, the funds are sufficient."

Luo Laosi scratched his brain: "I still want to have a comfortable year."

"You've made a lot of money this year, but you're not comfortable?" Lin Xinhai glanced at Luo Laosi.

"it." Luo Laosi waved his hand fiercely: "I especially want to make a big one, if I can get a million back, it will be comfortable."

now."
