Chapter 362: Penguins
A few people were arguing for a while.
Chen Hao, who was next to him, was seriously puzzled and said, "It should be easier to find fish downstream." ”
The boat goes downstream, and the fish like to swim against the current. The boat sails downstream, making it easier to find fish.
Chen Yuan and Gao He looked at each other and smiled.
Zhou Jianguo explained next to him: "Finding tuna is never as simple as going with the current and going against the current, it depends on the season and climate. This year's climate is abnormal, the southern hemisphere has been hot, and the temperature in the outer periphery of the Antarctic circle is very good......"
When looking for tuna, in addition to the migration habits, it depends on where there is more food.
Actually, you can take either route. However, bluefin tuna is found in the south and less in the eastern part of the Pacific. If you go west, you are more likely to meet a school of fish.
In the end, Zhou Jianguo took the idea and went to the western part of the Pacific Ocean.
This year's climate is hot, and southern bluefin tuna is mostly concentrated in the outer Arctic Ocean, which has plenty of food.
Chen Yuan: The tuna they came to catch this time are all relatively large and fat. There are many that can be sold for a good price......
In the first half of the year, they fished for yellowfin tuna in the Indian Ocean and had three times when they had a full tank in one net. More than 2,000 tons of tuna were all bonito and yellowfin tuna. That's catching up with schools of migratory fish, but those fish are worthless.
Skipjack tuna, $1,341 per ton.
Bluefin tuna, $1,980-$2,315 per tonne.
However, the amount is considerable, and the most valuable one has received $4 million.
But compared to bluefin tuna, the gap is huge.
This year's bluefin tuna catch is large, and the average transaction price is not high, but the price of high-quality bluefin tuna has increased a lot. In Japan's first competition this year, a 196-kilogram bluefin tuna sold for $1.59 million.
Initial Competition......
Similar to the head fish caught in the east of Chagan Lake, it does not have a particularly large reference value.
The reference to the price of the best bluefin tuna is the weekly auction price......
The two-kilometer-long purse seine net, the net is put and closed, and if everything goes well, it will be very fast. But if there are some unexpected situations, the step of closing the net will take a few days.
The ships were full of skilled workers, and this time everything went well.
The Pacific Ocean is not at all flat. However, compared with the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean, the sea conditions here are much, much better.
Today it was another breeze, and there was little swelling on the sea.
Chen Yuan went to the lookout and took a telescope to observe the sea.
Without helicopters, the only way to find fish is to use an auxiliary boat, or the boat's own equipment, and climb up to the lookout to observe.
From the observation deck more than ten meters high, you can see far, far away. Chen Yuan saw a whale jumping out of the sea in the southern sea......
Just as he was fascinated, Chen Hao took the thermos cup and climbed over: "Brother." ”
Chen Yuan looked over.
"Drink tea." Chen Hao handed the cup to Chen Yuan.
"Thank you."
"The tea that was just brewed, it was hot." Chen Hao's steel pipe for the auxiliary guardrail: "Have you found it?" ”
"Nope. There are few fish here, and there are not many fish in the water. Chen Yuan put down the binoculars and sat down: "In the past few years, have you paid off the mortgage?" ”
"It's over." Chen Hao smiled and said, "I paid it off last month." ”
"There is no deposit." Chen Yuan thought about taking out a cigarette and handed it to Chen Hao.
"Nope." Chen Haojian saw Chen Yuan sit down, and also sat down.
This is a high platform, hollowed out below, although not particularly high, but also a little scary.
Chen Yuan lit a cigarette and took a puff: "After returning to China this time, I am ready to leave the company." ”
Chen Hao said 'um': "After that...... What is the plan? ”
Chen Yuan's clear smile appeared in Yan Xiaoxi's mind, and he shook his head: "I didn't think about it......"
Chen Yuan wanted to buy a small island before, but he couldn't afford to buy a small island before. Now that I have money, I feel that it is too lonely to buy a small island and live alone on the island.
"After I go back, I will go on a blind date, get married and have a child quickly, and take care of the child at home." Chen Hao said with a smile.
Chen Yuan rolled his eyes.
Chen Hao smiled wryly.
It has been several years since Chen Yuan and Yan Xiaoxi broke up, and they have not come out yet. How they broke up, Chen Yuan didn't say, and no one knew.
It's hard to say about feelings.
Chen Hao accompanied Chen Yuan to blow the wind on the watchtower, sat for a long time, and heard the voice of the walkie-talkie shouting him, so he went down.
Chen Yuan smoked another cigarette, picked up the binoculars and looked into the distance.
It's getting dark.
"Chen Yuan." Takaga shouted.
"Yes."
"Found Fish Collector No. 3."
"Is there any tuna?"
"Nope. It's all small fish ......."
"Do you want to go off the net?"
"It's an estimate, it's not too much."
Chen Yuan said 'um': "Put away the fish collector and go find the next one." ”
"Okay. The next crucian carp floated in the Arctic Ocean, and the distance was more than forty nautical miles......"
"Let's take a look."
More than forty nautical miles, more than two hours.
Chen Yuan went down to the lookout and came to the wheelhouse and looked at the chart. After walking further east for more than a day, you will reach the location where Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng fell into the sea seven years ago.
In the past few years, Fu'an 79 has been running everywhere. But he has never had the opportunity to go back to the adventure sea seven years ago......
This is a piece of Chen Yuan's heart, if there is a chance, Chen Yuan wants to go over and have a look.
After dinner, the fishing boat found a third fish collector, observed it with a fish finder, and began to lower the net.
There are tuna around the fish collector, and there are quite a few of them.
Chen Yuan commanded the successful completion of the encirclement of the fish, and handed over the rest of the work to Zhou Jianguo, who came to the kitchen and took a few freshly baked bread back to the room.
Chen Yuan ate the bread, closed the door, and took off his shirt......
Chen Yuan has just the right muscles, and after all these years, Chen Yuan's appearance has not changed much, and his figure has not changed much.
'The ball of light that fell into the sea seven years ago and entered his body? Chen Yuan was lying on the bed, unable to think of why.
In the past few years of fishing career, Chen Yuan has also been injured once, but the wound heals quickly......
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan tossed and turned on the bed.
In recent years, Chen Yuan's insomnia has been a frequent thing.
Chen Yuan also fell asleep very late that night, and when he woke up, there were still fish caught outside.
"Mr. Chen."
"Hey." Chen Yuan turned his head and saw a young man in his twenties, holding a penguin who was only kicking his legs.
Chen Yuan stretched out his hand and touched it: "Sucked into the fish cabin?" ”
"Follow into the fish tank, into the cabin." The young man said with a smile.
"Give me a hug."
Chen Yuan took the penguin, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, slapped the penguin's head a few times, came to the position of the groove on the side of the ship, and threw the penguin down.
Their boat had a fish suction tank, which was a retractable square with a conveyor-like device inside. The fish suction tank is specially designed to collect large fish, and hundreds of catties of big fish can enter the fish suction tank, which is convenient for fish catch.
Out of the fish suction tank, there is also a fish suction pump (fish suction device) on the boat, which is dedicated to sucking small fish.
Large purse seine vessels, which catch dozens of tons, hundreds of tons or even thousands of tons at a time, are too slow if they use a sliding rod to lift the fish, or lift the crane.
The machine was rumbling, Chen Yuan came to the side of the fence and looked at the people working in the fence: "Are you going to finish it?" ”
"It's going to take two or three hours......"
