Chapter 263: It's all bonito [Happy New Year]
It's fishing season.
The tuna flood season in Kyrgyzstan is held twice a year.
A major fishing season, that is, around August. A small fishing season, around January.
The fish flood season here is also the coldest and hottest time in the country, but in the equatorial countries, it is the most comfortable time of day.
The speed of the big white is very fast, and the twin-engine economy cruises at a speed of around 27 knots.
After Tarawa Atoll, it used to be Abay Atoll.
Along the way, Chen Yuan and the others saw several fishing boats.
Although the fishing vessels of the country were concentrated in the north during this period, the sea area of the country was large, and each fishing boat had enough area to operate.
Between the Abai environment and the Mara Atoll, Chen Yuan saw several fish collectors.
The fish collector has not been in place for a long time, and the fish have not yet gathered. In the evening, Chen Yuan saw the fishing boat where the old watch of Jianguo was.
Zhou Jianguo is an employee of Dongjiang Fishery and serves as a captain.
Zhou Jianguo and his fishing boat stopped on the sea, not knowing what they were doing.
Chen Yuan drove over the Diaoyutai, and Zhou Sheng ran outside and shouted, "The old cousin of the founding of the country."
"The old watch is squatting in the pit." The ship's workers laughed and shouted, "What's the matter with the old watch?"
"Tell him to come down and play." Zhou Sheng said.
"It's coming, it's coming."
Zhou Jianguo walked over and looked at Zhou Sheng: "What are you doing?"
"Come down and drink." Zhou Sheng said with a smile.
"Okay, come here. Wait a minute, I'll bring two crates of good wine down." Zhou Jianguo said and ran back.
There were workers on the ship who hung up the rope ladder, so Zhou Sheng climbed up, looked at the workers on the deck, and said, "Rest today?"
"There are no fish in the fish collector, take a break."
"How's the fish going north?"
"There's a lot of fish. But it's mostly bonito, and it's very little tuna."
"How many tuna can you have in one net?"
"If you're lucky, you'll get fifty plus in one net. Bad luck, a dozen, and even a few tuna."
Whether the fish is good or not, just ask the purse seine boat.
The purse seine boat is a big household, and once the fish collector is released, no one will love it.
A fish collector can gather fish within a radius of several nautical miles. If you leave it for a long time, more fish will gather.
There is also a skill in releasing fish traps. A fish collector gathers dozens of tons of fish in a sea area of hundreds of acres, which is easy.
In the deep sea, purse seine catch data is an important reference for longline fishing vessels.
After waiting for a while, Zhou Jianguo came over with two cases of beer.
Zhou Sheng hung it with a rope and got the beer onto the fishing boat. Waiting for the two to come to the boat, Chen Yuan launched the fishing boat and stayed away from the fishing boat.
Zhou Jianguo came into the cabin and looked at the internal configuration of the fishing boat: "You can do this boat, luxury yacht."
Zhou Sheng smiled hehe: "It's okay."
"The old man of the country." Chen Yuan turned his head to look at Zhou Jianguo and shouted with a smile.
Zhou Jianguo put down the beer with a smile: "Your harvest is not bad."
Chen Yuan nodded: "It's okay, more than 100 tons of tuna have been made."
Zhou Jianguo gave a thumbs up: "That's going to make a lot of money."
"How's it going over here?" Chen Yuan asked.
Zhou Jianguo sat next to Chen Yuan and said, "To be honest, it's not very good. I know people who fish in the Marshall Islands, and this season it stands to reason that the tuna has already arrived in the Marshall Islands, but my friend said that there are also a lot of bonito. Large-eyed, long-finned, less than one-third of the number of previous years. Even fewer yellowfin tuna." ….
Chen Yuan stopped the boat, turned on the ship's stabilizer, got up and took the drunkard peanuts out: "What's going on?"
"This shows that it's still early for tuna to migrate." Zhou Jianguo shrugged, took out a beer, and opened a bottle for Chen Yuan: "I feel it, it's not good this year. This is mainly for longline fishing vessels......
Longline fishing boats if not
To tuna, it is easy to lose money.
Liu Lao Er, who catches more than 100,000 fish every day, is bonito.
The bonito is very cheap, and the current purchase price of Dongjiang fishery is 4.5 yuan per catty, and 1 ton is 9,000 yuan.
Let's put it this way, more than 10,000 hooks are put away, and sometimes, not a single tuna can be seen.
The catch of bonito is large and cheap, and the catch of hundreds of thousands of fish a day is more than a dozen tons of bonito.
A boat, it won't take long to fill the cabin. And then there's the upside-down catch......
Some of the refrigerated boats on the Dongjiang fishery side have conveyors, while others do not have conveyors, and all of them are hoisted by cranes. The bonito is full of boats, and it takes several days to catch the fish.
In Kyrgyzstan, the visible expenditure of fishing in Kyrgyzstan is 60,000 or 70,000 yuan a day.
The catch of hundreds of thousands of fish a day is really not much.
If you can't get more tuna, you'll make some hard-earned money.
The boat boss who invests in distant-water fishing vessels, which one doesn't want to get rich overnight?
Earn hard-earned money, who wants to. After all, it takes a lot of money to invest in a boat......
"There's really not much tuna?" Chen Yuan asked.
"Not much." Zhou Jianguo shook his head.
Zhou Sheng was speechless and took a big sip of wine: "Then you called us over a few days ago?"
Zhou Jianguo smiled: "Isn't I bored here. You are here, and you can stay with me. Although there are not many tuna, but bonito, that is really a lot. Right on the surface, skipjack tuna can often be seen jumping out of the water. Besides, no one can eat tuna fish. I judged that it was still early, but many people judged that the tuna fish were coming soon."
Zhou Sheng looked at Chen Yuan: "What's going on?"
"As originally planned. After that, we ran around to see where there was a lot of tuna." Chen Yuan also spread his hands and was speechless.
"Do you really have that much tuna in the south?" Zhou Jianguo asked.
"There is a lot of tuna in the seamount area to the east of Nikunao Island, but there are no fish in other waters." Chen Yuan took out a cigarette, handed one to Zhou Jianguo, and said, "In a few years, we will make money, build a large tuna purse seine boat, how about you come and follow us?"
"How many years, how many years?"
"Two or three years, or next year. Seriously, tuna fishing is still about bluefin tuna. Fishing in Kyrgyzstan is completely unskilled." Chen Yuandao.
"How much do you pay me?" As long as the money is in place and this fishing season is over, I will follow you." Zhou Jianguo said.
"If you come over, the guaranteed annual salary is 300,000, plus dividends." Chen Yuan said.
"How much can I get paid?"
"One percent."
"Really, one percent?" Zhou Jianguo was moved and said, "Can Lao Hai agree?"
"One percent of the net profit, it's not a big problem." Chen Yuan said, "I want to build a 70 or 80-meter tuna purse seine boat, how much is the start-up capital?"
"It's hard to buy a second-hand boat like this, so it needs to be customized. The start-up capital is 350 million, after which the installment will be paid. A ship of 70 or 80 meters has a different configuration, and the final price can be more than 50 million yuan." Zhou Jianguo said.
"You used to work on big boats, how long was your purse seine boat at that time?"
"75.6 meters."
"How much is the net profit of a trip to the sea?"
"I don't know. However, the annual catch of tuna is probably more than 2,000 tons. Sometimes, if you are lucky, you can get hundreds of tons of tuna in a month, but if you are unlucky, you will not open for a few months. Those big boats are all running seasons, looking for big fish to migrate."
