Luo Laosi was sick.

The further south you go, the hotter it gets.

The Big Fish is very luxurious, and every cabin is air-conditioned. The air conditioner blew too much, and it was humid and stuffy when it came out of the room, not only Luo Laosi had a cold, but several people on the ship had a cold.

Fortunately, it is not serious, there are a lot of medicines on board, take the medicine, rest for a few days, and it will be fine.

Because of the fact that many people catch a cold, Lin Xinhai also stipulates the temperature of the bedroom air conditioner.

Chen Yuan was on night duty for Luo Laosi, and after sleeping the next day, he prepared for the crew to practice longline fishing operations in groups.

The crew of the Big Fish consisted of 26 people, two cooks, two engineers, and 4 wheelhouses.

There are 18 people left, divided into three groups. A group of 7 people is responsible for production, and 4 people are responsible for logistics. For example, bundling fish hooks.

With a modern longline fishing vessel, the operation is actually very simple.

Some advanced longline fishing boats, more than 90% of the work is done by machinery, such as cutting bait, automatic hanging bait, automatic bundling feeders, automatic unraveling, and automatic bundling hooks.

Chen Yuan's ship is only about 60 or 70 percent automated. No way, the ship is not big enough. Then there's the issue of funding......

Chen Yuan's boat, if it is fishing for large fish such as tuna and sailfish, it can be hung with bait and automatically tied to the branch line, but when the fish is caught, it needs to be done manually. If you are fishing for small fish, you can't automatically hang your ears, but you can automatically uncatch the fish.

The easiest way to automatically uncatch the fish is to cut the branch directly.

The branch line for tuna fishing is thick and the hook is large. The branch line used for fishing small fish is the EP line, which is relatively thinner and cheaper. After all, it's just half a meter of branch line, and it's good to cut it and rehook it.

How different fishing hooks should be operated, Chen Yuan carefully explained to the crew several times.

There are special staff members for each position, and it is very simple to explain these, and the important thing is to cooperate.

Fishing in Kiribati, not to mention the cost of oil and labor, the entrance fee is 2.9 million yuan, and the daily cost after that is 22,000 yuan.

The entrance fee is equivalent to an admission ticket and membership card, and after paying this money, you can come and fish in the future, and you only need to buy effort.

This is like some high-end clubs, you have to apply for a membership card first, and you can only enter this kind of club to spend with a membership card.

It seems that the main revenue of the country is the sale of fishing licenses.

Chen Yuan: The cost of fishing is very large, and it should not be difficult to recover the original. But want to make money, make a lot of money......

In addition to finding fish, it is to improve production efficiency.

Zhao Hai's fishing boat was large, with more than 30 people on board. But the equipment is so poor that there are too many places that need to be manual.

Three days later, less than fifty nautical miles from the Gilbert Islands, Chen Yuan and his team finally caught up with the Dongjiang fleet.

connected to the radio channel of the Dongjiang fleet, and immediately became lively.

"Lao Hai, you can run so fast on this boat." Zhao Haidao.

"Lao Hai, don't come here and play tricks."

"Lao Hai, where are you going to fish, I'll go with you."

"Don't go to the island for a few days."

"Quiet." Luo Hao's voice came over the radio: "It's about to arrive in Kiribati, our ships are coming here for the first time, and we have to go to Tarawa first. Lin Xinhai, I heard a reply." ….

"I hear you."

"You have to go to Tarawa to register and get checked before you can start fishing." Luo Hao said, "Your documents are ready."

"Okay." Lin Xinhai said: "What documents do I need to prepare?"

"Fishing vessel documents, crew documents."

"Okay."

"After that, our fishing boat will install a VDS signal transmitter." Luo Hao said.

"Do you want to install it?"

"No, the auxiliary boat. However, all auxiliary vessels have to be registered and marked with identification numbers."

"Okay."

"Your big white is a bit big, isn't it?

Do you have an entry permit?"

"There are also yacht visas and fishery auxiliary vessel certificates."

"That's fine."

"Brother Hao, what is VDS?" Zhao Hai asked.

"VDS is the fisheries management system of the eight countries of Nauru, and the installation of VDS signal transmitters is considered to be entering this system. In the future, we will be able to fish not only in Kiribati, but also in the waters of Micronesia and the Marshall Group. However, we only buy Kiribati fishing days, and if we go to another country, we have to buy the fishing days of that country, which is the amount of effort."

"How much is an effort?"

"The price of effort varies from country to country, Kiribati is the most expensive, and these can be queried in the if system. Also, the number of fishing vessels that can be accessed varies from country to country. For example, if Nauru has a total of 22 foreign fishing vessels, including 4 purse seine vessels and 18 longline vessels...... If there are such foreign fishing boats fishing in the country, they cannot enter. You know how hard to measure it."

"Yes." Hayashi Shinkaido.

"Explain it again." Zhang Fulin said.

Zhang Fulin, the boss of the boat who came out with him.

"For a fishing boat smaller than 50 meters, one effort is two days of operation. For fishing vessels greater than or equal to 50 meters, one effort is one day's work time. The operation time starts from entering the exclusive economic zone, and even if you enter the exclusive economic zone for 1 minute and then leave, it is counted as one day's working time."

"I went in and out, and then I went in again." Zhang Fulai asked.

"If you have a VDS transmitter, you will start counting when you go in, and you will start counting it when you come out, and it will be counted as one day. It's in again...... We have to start anew." Luo Hao smiled and said, "What do you want to do in and out."

"Just ask."

"Don't run around once you're in an exclusive economic zone. If you want to leave the exclusive economic zone, you need to declare in advance, and the number of days of operation will be frozen if you declare it...... I'll count it when I get back. Kiribati's exclusive economic zone is huge, so if you want to go to other areas, it's best to declare in advance so as not to waste days of work. If this number of days is not used up by the end of the moratorium, it can be used again after the moratorium. In addition, the working days can be resold."

With this amount of effort, the more you buy in advance, the cheaper the price will be.

Luo Hao then explained the precautions in Kiribati, as well as where you can put a seine net and where you can't put a seine net. There are also precautions for longline fishing......

"Is Chen Yuan here?" Luo Hao said.

"Yes." Chen Yuan was sitting in the cab.

"Remember Zhang Hang and Xiao Hei no."

"Yes." Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Didn't Zhang Hang resign?"

"No, he's now Dongjiang's expatriate in the Pacific. Xiao Hei is also there, saying that he misses you very much, and goes up to catch up."

Xiao Hei is a foreign country, and he knew him before that he was from a certain island country in the Pacific.

"Blackie is from Kiribati?" Chen Yuan asked.

"No, it's not. I heard that you were coming, so I came here on purpose."

Chen Yuan smiled, "Okay. By the way, I don't know where Xiao Hei is from."

"When we're fishing, Blackie is on the boat."

"Tonga?"

"It looks like a mothership when you were in Tonga. Hei is from Tuvalu, and I heard that Hei's father is also a member of parliament in the country." Luo Hao nodded.

Chen Yuan smiled, "That's okay, is the island where they are located?"

"A big atoll."

Chen Yuan's 'um, "Okay."

He understood what Luo Hao meant, now that it was a public channel, he couldn't say it too bluntly.
