Xu San and their fishing boat left the little nanny, stopped at the Gao Lao Gao next to them, and slowly approached.

This is the company's own fishing boat, which uses a conveyor belt to feed the catch into the hold without weighing.

There was a lot of buzz on the intercom.

"Xu San'er, how many fish have you caught." Zhao Hai.

"1.03 million. How many of you? "Xu San.

"Almost, 1.02 million." Zhao Hai.

"I'm only 990,000." Liu Sidao: "How much old money?" ”

"I'm a little more than you, 1.19 million." Qian Degui.

"Hey, it's 200,000 more than me, is it some?" Liu Si.

"Just the last punctuation point to get some fish, otherwise it's pretty much the same." Qian Degui said with a smile.

"You still have to go punctuation to make money." Xu Sandao.

"It's hot, the water is hot, and there are fewer fish ......"

While everyone was chatting, Luo Hao's voice came from the radio: "Chen Yuan, no." ”

"Yes."

"It's time to leave for Wa country."

"Do you want to go to customs first?"

"Yes. Let's go first, and we'll come here when we're done with the fish. Old Qian, Old Zhao...... You can go first, Jiang Tao is waiting over there, and he will help you go through the entry. There are also refueling boats, which are also connected. ”

"Okay. Let's go first. ”

"This operation in the waters of the three countries of Wasoba will continue until November. Your reserve fuel tanks are all full, and there are special diesel fuel tanks, Chen Yuan and their ship are big fuel eaters. ”

"Okay."

"Okay."

"Xiao Luo." Lin Xinhai.

"What's the matter?" Luo Hao.

"You and Chen Yuan go over first, I'll just watch here." Lin Xinhai said: "Our two boats are estimated to be able to finish their catch tomorrow afternoon." ”

Luo Hao thought for a while and said, "It's okay." ”

Chen Yuan went over to pick up Luo Hao, said something to Lin Xinhai, and then started the boat and set off.

Fishing in the country is over.

From Funafu in Tuvalu to Tivila Port in Vanuatu, more than 800 nautical miles.

Chen Yuan planned the route, turned on the autopilot, and turned on the three-engine high-speed cruise. At this speed, 20 hours, it should be there.

Go first, go out directly to reconnoiter the fish after completing the formalities, and wait for the fishing boat to come and start fishing.

Dabai ran at a speed of 43 knots, headwind, this speed was very fast, and in the cabin, you could hear the whistling wind.

"Hello?" Luo Hao's phone rang.

"I, Wang Peng, we've arrived at Port Vila."

"Okay, we're leaving, we'll be here tomorrow."

Luo Hao hung up the phone, and Chen Yuan turned his head to look over: "Wang Peng is here?" ”

Luo Hao said 'um': "The leased refrigerated ship has also arrived." ”

The three countries of Wasoopa that are about to go have a lot of small tuna and abundant fish resources. Wang Peng contacted two refrigerated ships, one of which was a refrigerated ship with ultra-low temperature that he had cooperated with before. There is also one, which can load more than 1,000 tons of ordinary frozen fish. The ship has been contacted, but it won't be able to come in October.

Dabai sailed at high speed, the sound of the wind, the roar of the engine, so noisy that Yang Xun couldn't sleep, and came out of the cabin: "This is going to Vanuatu?" Yang asked.

Chen Yuan nodded: "I'll be there tomorrow." ”

Zhou Sheng took out a few bottles of drinks, one for each person.

The time was fast, and it was noon the next day in a blink of an eye. Chen Yuan and the others drove the boat to Port Vila and docked...... Go through a series of procedures such as visas, and then go over to find Wang Peng and refuel the fishing boat.

The bunkering vessel is Vanuatu's own vessel.

Wang Peng on a frozen ship.

This time it was supposed to be Lin Xinmin who came with the frozen boat, but before leaving, Lin Xinmin fell on a motorcycle and was hospitalized with a broken bone.

Zhao Hai, Qian Degui, they are all on their way here.

Chen Yuan and the others filled up the fishing boat, and after docking for a meal, they left Luo Hao and Wang Peng and set off to find fish.

There are many fish in Varouatu, and on the way to Punctuation No. 1 after leaving Port Vila and following the current map, Chen Yuan and the others encountered a school of fish.

Seventeen nautical miles from Port Vila, the remote sensing fish detection signal is dense......

"I'll go, isn't that exciting?" Zhou Jianguo looked at the remote sensing fish exploration picture, and suddenly became excited.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Sheng's head poked over.

"A school of fish in front...... Huge. Chen Yuandao.

"A school of tuna fish?" Zhou Sheng asked.

"I don't know yet...... If there is a school of fish, there must be tuna too. Zhou Jianguo said, the fishing boat was already close to the fish.

The school of fish is being chased by something, and to the south, from time to time there are fish jumping out of the water.

Zhou Jianguo held the binoculars: "A school of mackerel." ”

Chen Yuan slapped the steering wheel and came to the edge of the fish...... The fishing boat was fast and quickly probed.

This is a highly concentrated school of fish that is fending off predators and is gathering into a ball. The number is exaggerated......

If a purse seine ship comes over and goes down in one net, it is estimated that it can be more than 2,000 tons.

"There are marlin, tuna around mackerel." Chen Yuan said.

Zhou Jianguo said 'um': "Let's follow this school of fish and see when the fish will disperse." ”

Chen Yuan slowed down and followed the fish slowly.

This school of fish is huge.

But unfortunately, Chen Yuan's fishing boat has not yet come.

Another one, they are longline fishing boats, and even if they come, there is no way to see this school of fish.

Mackerel, also known as mackerel, is commonly known as mackerel, mackerel, oil carcass, and blue catfish. It is a very common type of food fish......

Mackerel is a carnivorous fish that prefers to inhabit pelagic waters rich in diatoms, and usually feeds on plankton and small fish. But it is also the main food for organisms higher up the food chain, such as seabirds, marine mammals and large carnivorous fish. Therefore, they often march in groups in unison, so as to defend themselves against predators.

There are three types of mackerel.

First, Atlantic mackerel, also commonly known as Norway mackerel and Boston mackerel, is mainly distributed in temperate and cold waters on both sides of the North Atlantic, with clear dark blue linear stripes on its back, slender body, grayish-white abdomen, and body length of up to 50 cm. Commercially available Atlantic mackerel are all larger in size and have a higher fat content due to living in cold waters.

Second, white-bellied mackerel, commonly known as Japanese mackerel and mackerel, is widely distributed in subtropical and temperate waters around the world, such as the Sea of Japan, the Korean Peninsula, the East China Sea, the United States and Canada. There are irregular blue-green markings on the back, a silvery-white abdomen without spots, and a body length of up to 50 cm. The catch is not high, the price is relatively expensive, and the fat content is similar to that of Atlantic mackerel.

Three, that is, the kind that Chen Yuan and they are encountering now, the flower-bellied mackerel, also commonly known as Australian mackerel, sesame mackerel.

The main distribution area is the tropical and subtropical waters of the Pacific Ocean from southern Japan to Australia and New Zealand.

The mackerel, which is more circular in cross-section, is most notably characterized by pale gray markings and spots on its abdomen, like sesame seeds, hence its name. The body length can reach 45 cm, and because it lives in tropical waters, the fat content is lower than that of the above two types of mackerel, and the taste is slightly inferior, and the yield is particularly large.

Mackerel is very cheap and is available in Kiribati, Tuvalu and so on.

Chen Yuan: The bait they use to catch tuna is mainly mackerel. The mackerel is the cheapest, and if you take it back to China, at the current price, it will not exceed 6,000 yuan per ton at most. This fish is also common in the country and is very cheap.

Schools of fish gather, attracting seabirds.

A wonderful seabird predation began.

"Zhao Hai, Lao Qian, Lao Liu and Lao Xu, how long do you have to arrive." Zhou Jianguo shouted over the radio.

"I'll be there tomorrow afternoon."

"Hello." Takaga's voice came out.

"What's wrong?" Liu Si.

"I saw a school of fish, a school of oversized fish." Zhou Jianguo has infinite regrets.

"How big?"

"A school of fish worth millions, maybe even tens of millions."

Chen Yuan lay next to him, smiling and looking at Zhou Jianguo bragging about it. Well...... It's not bragging, either.

The Australian mackerel is large and gathers in flocks, and if you count other fish, there should be 2,000 tons...... The value is indeed millions, or even more than 10 million.

This oversized school of fish is rare to see in the open sea, but in the eastern Pacific Ocean and the western Indian Ocean...... Large mackerel stocks are abundant, especially during the migration period.

As seabirds begin to prey, bottom tuna, marlin, sharks, etc., also begin to attack the schools of fish that have gathered into balls.

In the evening, the fish scattered.

Zhou Jianguo drove the boat and chased a school of tuna fish to the western waters of Mangao Island. This school of tuna, estimated to have more than 100 of them, has not completely blackened, and the school of fish has also dispersed.

Hearing Zhou Jianguo say that they had found a school of super-large fish, Zhao Hai and the others were all excited, and they ran wildly at full speed, one by one. I can't wait to get there right away and get to work......
