Chapter 348: Two hundred tons of scale

The map of ocean currents that Zhou Jianguo landed on before was the website of the United States.

The information of the white prostitute and the real-time information obtained through the ocean satellite are not of the same grade.

Instead of directly seeing the fish, the marine satellite uses the professional sensors carried by the satellite to detect the living environment of the fish, such as the sea surface temperature, the chlorophyll concentration of the seawater, the sea surface flow field, and the sea surface height, and establishes the relationship between the environmental elements of the fishing ground and the probability of the fishing situation through the fishery forecasting model.

Seeing the Yankees' helicopter coming, there is a high probability that there are schools of fish in the sea area where Chen Yuan and them are.

A few minutes later, the helicopter came to the vicinity of their fishing boat and lowered the elevation ...... A bearded man in the passenger seat greeted Chen Yuan with a smile.

Zhou Jianguo also had a bright smile on his face, and waved his hand a few times. My heart is selling skins.

The helicopter landed, and Zhou Sheng also stopped the boat.

Zhou Jianguo talked to the other party. The bearded man looked friendly and pointed in the direction of nine o'clock......

"What are you talking about?" Chen Yuan saw the helicopter start again, got down from the top of the boat, and came to Zhou Jianguo's side.

His name was John, an employee of the McFalss Fishing Company...... He just said that there are more fish in the direction of nine to ten o'clock. Zhou Jianguo shrugged.

"You know him?"

"McForss Fisheries and our company also work together to share real-time current maps." Zhou Jianguo said: "I don't know them, but Luo Hao definitely does." ”

Fishing vessels that fish in an area are usually both competitive and cooperative. Even if the relationship between the two countries is not good, but in the private sector, it is normal to make money and cooperate.

The helicopter took off, and John looked at them and smiled and waved.

Zhou Jianguo also waved his hand.

"Let's go, go over and have a look." Watching the drone fly away, Chen Yuan said.

Zhou Jianguo nodded, took the drone back, and removed the remote sensor and installed it on the bow of the ship.

Back in the cabin, Zhou Jianguo said: "Half past nine direction." ”

"And what did the Yankees just say?" Zhou Sheng launched the fishing boat and asked.

"He said there were a lot of fish at half past nine." Zhou Jianguo shrugged.

This Yankee had 'snatched' Chen Yuan and them a school of fish before. Snatch......

The previous school of fish, Chen Yuan and they found it first. The Yankees were a few minutes late...... But their fishing boats are close.

It can be said that it was snatched.

Ten minutes later, a dense biological signal appeared on the remote sensing fish probe.

This is a sea where ocean currents meet, forming a large eddy. Judging from the fish prospecting, there are quite a lot of fish......

"What about the Yankees?" Chen Yuan looked at Zhou Jianguo.

"This location, we can also find out in ten minutes. They're purse seine boats, and they can't rob us. Zhou Jianguo said: "After all, they robbed us of a school of fish before, and now this position ......"

Chen Yuan smiled and nodded, feeling a little more comfortable in his heart.

Chen Yuan dialed Luo Hao's phone: "Old Luo, ask if the big fish number and Gao Laogao's fish hooks are about to be collected." ”

"The hook of the Big Fish has been closed, and there are still more than 10,000 meters of rope on Lao Gao's side."

"There's a big discovery." Chen Yuandao: "There are a lot of fish, at least 200 tons. ”

"Location."

Chen Yuan reported the location to Luo Hao and said, "This area is very large, and two or three boats can be hooked at the same time." ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it."

Qian Degui and his fishing boat were already on their way. Luo Hao asked Gao He when he would finish collecting the hooks......

Chen Yuan began to investigate the fish situation.

The upper layer is a mixed school of bonito, and the bottom is tuna, sharks, and the like.

The total amount of fish is large, but it is particularly scattered.

In such a position, the purse seine boat should put the fish collector after coming, and wait for the fish to gather before the net can be released. But if you come to a longline fishing boat, you can put a hook when you come over, so you don't have to wait.

While waiting for the fish collector, Chen Yuan and their fishing boats came over and finished putting the hooks. After all, a school of fish before was Chen Yuan, who discovered it first, and the Yankees occupied the position of the fishing boat, and rushed over to put the purse seine net first.

Chen Yuan told Luo Hao the details, and the number of tuna was about more than 300. This is only an approximate estimate, only a little more. more, more than double.

Luo Hao waited for Gao He to finish collecting the hook before he put the position at high speed Lin Xinhai, Gao He and Qian Degui.

Zhao Hai, Xu San and Liu Si, they are either putting fish hooks or collecting fish hooks.

If there is a good spot, then it must give priority to your own fishing boat. In the past few days, Qian Degui and his four fishing boats have harvested averagely, there is no deficit, and they make a small profit.

The big fish and the tall old are high, but there are a lot of catches. There are nearly 500 large-sized yellowfin tuna from the two fishing boats combined.

After four o'clock, Chen Yuan and the others left the fish school and continued to search in the northeast direction.

Now that there are more boats, the burden on Chen Yuan and them is also heavy. Chen Yuan definitely wants to find more good spots, so that everyone can have a good catch, but the external conditions are really limited.

When it was dark, Chen Yuan and the others drove the boat and continued to run for more than two hours, until after nine o'clock in the evening, when they were ready to rest.

Yang Xun and them were on night duty, and they had already gotten up and started to prepare dinner.

Chen Yuan and Zhou Jianguo looked at the oil gauge of the fishing boat, studied the nautical charts, and planned tomorrow's route.

"Continue north tomorrow, if you don't find it, forget it, don't look for it." Chen Yuan lit a cigarette for Zhou Jianguo: "I'm going to Waruatu soon, if I have time, let's study the sea area of Waruatu." ”

Zhou Jianguo nodded: "I've been to Waruatu, there are a lot of tuna, and there are marlin." ”

"I heard that there are more small tuna in Varouatu, the Solomon Islands and Babu." Chen Yuan asked.

Zhou Jianguo nodded: "There are many small tuna, just like the eastern part of the Indian Ocean." ”

There are many tuna on the other side of the Indian Ocean, and purse seine boats usually go down hundreds of tons, hundreds of tons, or even thousands of tons in one net. But the quality of the tuna over there is poor......

How to describe the number of yellowfin tuna in the Indian Ocean?

According to a report published by the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC), in 2018, Spanish-flagged fishing vessels caught 30 percent more yellowfin tuna in the Indian Ocean than the catch limit, and the actual catch was more than 13,000 tonnes more than the reported production.

More than 13,000 tons......

This is also the part of the Spanish fishing vessel that exceeds the quota.

The yellowfin tuna over there are smaller and thinner. It is usually used as a super tuna product, and the price is very cheap.

Sold to the cannery, three or four thousand dollars per ton. Sold on land, that is, slightly better quality, six or seven thousand dollars per ton.

For tuna, quality determines the price.

Kiribati, Tuvalu, these countries don't have big land, but these countries have big tuna and can sell for a good price.

Varouatu and the two northern countries have larger islands and richer marine resources, but they have a large number of small tuna.

Chen Yuan turned on the radio microphone: "Hey, Lao Luo, have you slept?" ”

"I'm getting ready to go to bed."

"Has the Dongjiang fishing fleet all gone to Varouatu?"

"No, they went past three longliners and two purse seine boats went to the Marshall Islands...... "Our fleet is in line to go to some atoll countries like the Marshall Islands in November." It was also a good time to catch bluefin tuna. ”

The atoll archipelago countries do not have a large land area, and they all belong to the open sea area, and the fishery density of the exclusive marine economic zone is not high, but it is easy to fish, and it is easy to gather, and there are many large tuna. Deep sea waters, pretty much the same. This is also the favorite place for purse seine boats and longline fishing boats. Easy to get rich ......
