Chapter 355: September Profits
Send Wang Peng to Port Vila.
Chen Yuan and the others stopped the boat, went ashore to eat something, and then purchased some supplies.
When I came back in the evening, the little nanny had already left and gone to sell fish.
Since last year, the prices of tuna and bonito in major markets around the world have been very strong.
For example, the price of bonito, Ecuadorian manta has reached 1,800 dollars per ton. The price of yellowfin tuna has reached more than 2,700 US dollars per ton.
Prices in Bangkok are cheaper, with skipjack tuna at $1,680 per tonne. Yellowfin tuna, more than $2,400 per ton.
Fu'an Fishery Contacts Company, yellowfin tuna is $2,260 per tonne, which is a predetermined price. Again, they are handed over at sea, which is cheaper.
Albacore tuna and bigeye at $2,000 per tonne.
These fish require a weight of more than 17 catties.
The price of tuna, bonito, should have been rising since the year before. This is mainly due to the ban on the use and reduction of FAD (fishing gathering devices) in the Atlantic and Indian Ocean regions. And then there's the sharp rise in oil prices......
When the production is low, the price will naturally be high.
These reasons have also led to queues of fishing boats in PNA fishing areas.
Chen Yuan: Their fishing boats will not enter the waters of the atoll countries until November......
The transaction process was smooth.
One ship, about 350 tons of fish, sold for a total of $590,000. That's 4.1 million RMB.
Zhao Hai's fishing boats are about 450,000 yuan per boat.
This is selling fish at sea, and the cost paid by the Fu'an fishery is lower. If it was calculated according to 50% of the selling price, Zhao Hai and his fishing boat would not make much money, so they gave them some more.
Zhao Hai's fishing boat arrived first, a total of 6 days of operation, an average of 75,000 per day. They still had some fish on their boat, and at the end of the day, they estimated that it should be 90,000 or 100,000 yuan.
The fleet has reached the waters east of Narekor Island.
Chen Yuan and the punctuation points they were looking for, there were still a lot of catches, but most of these catches were worthless.
"Chen Yuan, no." Zhao Hai shouted over the radio.
"Yes."
"It's only a few dozen meters deep here, so how about I try to fish the bottom? Grouper fishing. Zhao Hai asked.
"The bottom is not very high......
"I want to try."
"Let's try it." Chen Yuan said with a smile.
"Be careful to hang on the bottom, the rope won't pull up." Luo Hao said.
"I use the EP feeder."
"The bottom of the sea here is rocky, coral, be careful that the main line hangs on the bottom."
"It's hard to fish here. There are many fish, but there are too few big fish......"
Zhao Hai still tried to fish the bottom and put 90,000 meters of rope. This rope is easy to put down, and it takes time to take it back...... It took two whole days.
Catch some groupers, sea bream, red stone nine gongs...... These are valuable catches, but the total value is only more than 60,000.
The oil is not much, but it is a loss when it comes to calculating wages and operating days.
After Zhao Hai's 'try', everyone was honest and concentrated on tuna fishing.
Further north, the catch rate increases. I mainly fish for tuna, marlin, but also some other fish. The hooks used are relatively large, and the fish that come up are at least a few catties and 1.
Six fishing boats can make eighty or ninety tons in a day. With the transportation capacity of a small nanny, a ship can be filled in four or five days.
Zhao Hai's profit from their fishing boat is not bad, calculated at 27,000 per day. This profit, in the same size of longline fishing vessels, is already more than 99 percent.
In October, Chen Yuan and the others had already arrived in the Solomon Islands.
The refrigerated boat rented by Fu'an Fishery has finally arrived, and the refrigerated ship loaded with 1,000 tons of fish can be filled in about ten days. These fish are not only the catches of the Fu'an fleet itself, Luo Hao also contacted other fishing boats and purchased some catches.
Many island countries in the western Pacific Ocean, despite their economic backwardness, are rich in marine resources.
Fishing boats with fish collection devices can catch dozens or hundreds of tons of fish in one net. Luo Hao contacted two purse seine boats, and the catch in four days was more than 500 tons.
It takes 10 days to load the catch, which is the reason why the loading is too slow.
"Hey."
Yan Xiaoxi called the satellite phone.
"What are you doing?" Chen Yuan answered the phone.
"I sent you WeChat, why didn't you reply." Yan Xiaoxi asked.
"No signal."
"Don't you have a satellite network on board?"
"It's not open. Last month, the satellite network bill cost more than 70,000 yuan, which is too expensive. ”
"Oh. After that, I made a satellite phone call...... National Day, do you have a holiday? ”
"Nope. At sea, how can there be a holiday......" Chen Yuan said with a smile: "You guys are on vacation?" ”
"In seven days, we are going to go to Hailing to play and live in your house." Yan Xiaoxi said.
"That's our family'......" Chen Yuan said with a smile: "I'm not here, don't go out to play in the water by yourself, it's not safe." ”
"Know, we'll go play for a few days, be on the shore, and don't go into the water."
While chatting, Zhou Sheng shouted in the cabin, "Chen Yuan." ”
"Hey." Chen Yuan replied.
"Are you going to be busy?"
"Zhou Sheng called me, I don't know what's going on, I'll go in and take a look......" Chen Yuan said as he walked into the cabin: "What's the matter?" ”
"Luo Hao and Master are looking for you."
"Okay." Chen Yuan then said to Yan Xiaoxi: "I'm busy here, I'll call you back later." ”
"You're busy, call me back when you have time, we're ready to leave for the high-speed train." Yan Xiaoxi said.
"Okay."
Chen Yuan hung up the phone and sat in the driver's seat let by Zhou Sheng: "Hey, Master." ”
"In ......" Lin Xinhai responded, our company's profit last month came out.
"How much?"
"9.61 million."
"Why is it so?"
"That's all."
Last month, in September, it was mainly Tuvalu and Waruatu fishing. I came to the Solomon Islands on September 25th, and the profits of the Solomon Islands have not yet come out.
In 12 days, the total amount of tuna caught in Tuvalu is still relatively large.
"Only half of the tuna caught in Tuvalu is sold. At present, there is a large stock of large tuna, the price is high, but the sales are not good. On the Warouatu side, it's all cheap catches...... The situation on Solomon's side is not very good either. If you calculate Varouatu alone, the profit is only 3.11 million yuan. Luo Hao said.
】
That's the main thing.
Their fleet catches a lot of fish, but the operating costs are much higher than other fishing vessels.
If you are an independent fishing boat, you can earn about 30,000 yuan a day, which is very good.
The Solomon Islands has two longline fishing vessels that are anchored in the Dongjiang Fishing Industry, and their daily profits are about 10,000 yuan.
Chen Yuan was about to go back and lie down for a while, but now he had nothing to do, he was very idle, and Gao He's voice came from the radio again: "I received news from my side that the IOTC National Exclusive Economic Zone will relax the restrictions on fish collection devices." If this restriction is lifted, tuna prices will plummet. ”
The main consumers of canned tuna are Europe, the United States, Asians, and especially Chinese...... Don't dare to be interested in canned tuna.
Xiaori is also a big consumer of tuna, but they are mainly sashimi, that is, there is a large demand for conventional ultra-low temperature tuna.
The price of tuna has risen, and the biggest impact is on Europe and the United States, which are very strong......
"Where did you hear that?" Luo Hao asked.
"A friend of mine. Huang Hao, do you remember, he has a tuna purse seine boat of more than 60 meters, mainly fishing in the Indian Ocean. In the past, the supervision of fish collection devices was very strict, but since last month, he has seen many European and American fishing boats using fish collection devices, and their fishing boats have also started to use them. ”
The price of raw materials for bonito and tuna is high, and it is difficult for factories engaged in fishery processing.
"So, the price of bonito and tuna is going to fall?" Luo Hao said.
"It's not clear. Wang Peng's market research, how about it? ”
"He also does domestic market research, and at this stage, the tuna reserves in domestic freezers are not high." Lin Xinhai said.
"it, we're going to the Marshall Islands next month. Now the main thing is to contact the small day side, and catch the big tuna at the end of the year, that is the big head. Chen Yuandao.
Luo Hao said 'um': "Wang Peng, they will go to Tokyo in a few days." ”
Domestically, in general, the market for high-quality tuna is still small. This is mainly due to the fact that there are not many top sashimi shops in the country and they are scattered.
If the tuna wants to be sold at a high price, it is still necessary to send it to the small day, and the big super tuna over there on the small day is in high demand and the price is relatively good.
