As soon as the basking shark surfaced, it was recognized by the father and son, and it was really its big mouth that was too easy to recognize.

The basking shark is the second largest filter-feeding shark in the world after the whale shark.

I heard that it is still a shame among sharks. It has a huge body, and it always has a bloody mouth wide open, even when it swims forward, and it looks terrifying.

On the contrary, it has a docile temperament and never attacks humans, feeding only on small fish and plankton, similar to the habits of whale sharks.

The reason why it is called basking shark is also because of its gentle temperament like an old woman, so it is named "basking shark".

When it swims forward, its mouth is wide open only when it comes to eating.

Don't think that the high-level feeding method in the ocean is like the invincible predation of the great white shark, in fact, this lazy way of the basking shark is the highest level.

Its mouth is like a vacuum cleaner, constantly sucking food back and forth, and filtering plankton and small fish in its mouth with a seba.

Usually when a fishing boat passes by, they especially like to follow the fishing boat and chase after it.

For nothing else, just for the discarded trash fish or food thrown to the surface of the sea from time to time by fishing boats, so it is also called the lazy shark, and it is also a scavenger in the ocean.

The huge cocoon of herrings under the surface of the water just now was swallowed directly by it in one gulp, and the herring themselves didn't know what was going on, and it was gone in front of them.

It still makes sense to eat all directions.

It's just that basking sharks are generally active in groups of three or five, and there can be hundreds or thousands of them in a long line, how can there be only one here?

Could it really be that you were lost by the waves on the day of the typhoon?

Ye Yaodong wondered in his heart, but the movements in his hands were unambiguous, and when the basking shark surfaced, he took the camera and clicked it down.

The body is grayish-brown, and the fins are light grayish-brown, and only the half of the body can be photographed beyond the water.

I don't know how it works, but it's a shot anyway, and if you can get closer, you can try it again at close range.

"Did this fish lose ......?"

As soon as Father Ye's voice fell, the action of closing the net did not stop, and he saw that the basking shark had not stopped for a while, and began to dodge.

And there were a lot of sea wolf fish on its body, and some fell off as it struggled and shaking, but there were other sea wolf fish, and then they continued to attack with perseverance.

Under the huge body of the basking shark, even if this group of sea wolf fish can weigh more than ten or twenty catties, it is only a small thing in front of it.

A bite wound can only bring pain, not fatality.

However, mosquitoes will feel annoyed if they bite too much, and they will also feel that the pain will increase, which will make people uncomfortable, and the same is true for fish.

It's just that the basking shark only eats small fish and plankton, and such a large sea wolf fish is not on its predation list at all.

It dodged, swinging its body to shake off the wolf fish on its body, and some of them smashed into the hull of the ship, and fell back into the sea with a few thuds.

When Father Ye saw it when he closed the net, he couldn't help but feel sorry for it, it would be good if he fell directly onto the boat.

The basking shark found that it still could not completely get rid of it when it surfaced, and these sea wolves were like crazy, hating it for eating its prey, and chasing after it as soon as they saw the gap.

It had to flip its body, jump above the surface of the sea, and then slam into the water, trying to stun the sea wolf on its body, and then quickly go and dodge underwater.

Ye Yaodong kept holding the camera in his hand, trying to capture another clear one, just in time to capture its figure jumping on the water.

I was immediately satisfied.

"Hurry up, put it away quickly when the shooting is over, put the nets away, and collect two more nets while the fish hasn't run away."

And just as Ye Yaodong temporarily put the camera on the stool first, the father and son also noticed that there was a fishing boat not far behind them, which was gradually approaching this side.

The two of them cast their nets one and closed the other, staring at the sea while also paying attention to the distance behind them.

"That boat is ours too, right?"

"Perhaps, your eldest cousin was also around here just now, and they could see a little shadow of the boat, and they probably saw a large number of fluttering seabirds here, so they slowly came over here. I had been keeping an eye on the fish in the sea, and I didn't look behind me. ”

If you had been driving head-on, in front of you, you would have found it a long time ago.

"I didn't look at it either."

Even now, the seabirds did not completely disperse, but continued to stay in mid-air, occasionally swooping down to sneak up on the herring on the fishing boat.

The sea wolf fish they don't have the ability to take away, only herring.

They don't care, they're not good, no one eats them, and they're not suitable for dried fish, only canned herring is more famous, and if it's eaten by birds, it's stealing.

Anyway, for them, the fish will either be thrown into the sea, or it will be fed back to chickens, ducks and pigs.

"We'll find out if we lean over later."

The two of them talked briefly and continued to work hard to collect the net and cast the net.

After there were no schools of herring, the basking sharks also ran away, and all the fish were sea wolf fish, but after collecting a net, there were only three more that were pulled up.

The fish scattered quickly, and I don't know if it was chasing the basking shark.

Ye Yaodong untied the broken hand throwing net in his hand, and after pouring out the three fish inside, he suggested that the fishing net be released for trawling.

"It just happened to have just dispersed, so we shouldn't have run far, maybe it's still around here, let's work nearby, try our luck."

Father Ye nodded, he thought so too.

As they were dragging the large fishing nets and preparing to unload them, the fishing boats behind them came close late.

But it was different from what they thought, it was not their boat, but they didn't know which village, but the other party didn't get very close.

However, there are still many seabirds around their fishing boats, and from time to time they sneak up and take a few fish into the air, which also attracts the attention of each other.

When they got closer, after seeing that Ye Yaodong's boat was full of herring and sea wolf fish, they all regretted it, why didn't they come over earlier.

They never took their eyes off the fish on the boat.

"There was a school of fish just now, right?"

If they speak their local dialect, they are locals.

There are subtle differences in the words they speak from town to town, just like the accent that Ah Qing spoke to them was slightly different.

"Yes, there are schools of herring, but they're all running away now."

"It's a pity ......"

A pound of sea wolf fish is a lot of money, worth more than 4 cents, not to mention the number of full boats.

In addition, he is now scattered all over the ship, and at a rough glance, it is estimated that he can sell it for two or three hundred yuan, which is much better than dragging a net for a few days.

Ye Yaodong didn't talk much to them, and the other party was on the same boat as his father and him, one old and one young, it seems that they should also be father and son.

After he and Father Ye sorted out the large fishing nets, they went to drive the boat forward alone, and released the nets along the tail slipway alone.

It is not that all the ships encountered at sea will have contradictions, and most of them will communicate normally.

The boat followed them and asked, "Those sea wolves on your boat are attracted by the herring, aren't they?" How long have the fish been gone? ”

"Just dispersed for a while."

"Then put the net now, maybe you can drag it a little longer, or you can still meet a school of fish......

Ye Yaodong nodded, and after putting all the fishing nets into the sea, he also paid attention to their actions, and saw that they were also hurriedly sorting out the fishing nets and preparing to put them down, and his mind relaxed a little.

I'm afraid that some people will have bad intentions when they see wealth, these fish are worth a lot of money, it's good if they don't have them, they should also be people who have seen good goods, and their eyelids are not so shallow.

Their fishing boats moved forward at a constant speed, and after slowly distancing themselves from each other's boats, he began to sort out the fishing goods on the boat with confidence.

After such a long time, the wave fish on the boat no longer jumped, but he casually broke open a large mouth, the teeth in the mouth were really sharp enough, and the fingers were really enough to choke when he bit it.

He dragged two baskets, which were packed separately according to size, most of them were seven or eight catties, about ten catties, and a few had twenty or thirty catties, so big, the price could be a little higher.

First, all the wolf fish were picked up separately, dragged to the edge of the cabin, and placed in a neat row next to the goods trawled before.

Then he went to the cabin to drag out the bucket of ice, sprinkled the fine ice cubes on it, and then covered it with torn clothes and quilts, and folded the baskets to save space.

There were still a lot of herring to be disposed of on the boat, and it was a pity to dump them back into the sea, so they had to be packed in baskets and brought back to feed the pigs to his sister-in-law and sister-in-law, as well as the chickens, ducks, geese and dogs at home.

He drove away the seabirds that had been stealing food while pretending, and occasionally threw a few useless small eels out, which could still cause them to rob them.

After he had sorted out the miscellaneous goods on the boat, the fishing boats were still working there, and he simply washed his hands with fresh water before sitting down to rest and fiddle with his camera.

"Packed up?"

"Okay, those sea wolf fish should also have six or seven hundred catties, the small ones are seven or eight catties, and the big ones are estimated to be thirty catties, and they can be sold for two or three hundred yuan."

Father Ye's face was full of joy, "I just looked at the quantity and felt that it was a lot, and I earned it today." ”

"The harvest is okay."

It's a pity that the photos taken by the camera are now black and white, and the definition is not high, so it is estimated that it will look blurry when washed out.

Ye Yaodong lowered his head and played with his camera, absent-mindedly, and said casually.

Father Ye was a little upset by his careless attitude, "Go cook some noodles and eat them." ”

He looked up at this moment, "Why me again?" ”

"Because I'm sailing."

"Then let's wait a minute."

He doesn't want to cook either!

He cooked it all in the morning, why is it still him now.

"Put your camera away, there is seawater everywhere, why don't you know what is distressing, the bicycle is also a camera, and things must be easy to break in your hands."

Ye Yaodong muttered a few words, but still stood up and put the camera into the cabin.

After all, it didn't take long to buy it, but don't really corrode it, the film hasn't finished shooting a roll, and I'm not willing to shoot a few shots, maybe just over half of it.

Father Ye drove the boat along this sea area and kept turning, and the boat he had just met was also operating near them, and the two boats kept a distance not far away, and they were safe.

When the time was almost up, Father Ye drove the boat back to the area where they often stayed at sea to set up the net.

The eldest cousin and Brother Ah Sheng saw their boat coming back, and they also drove the boat over, just in time to see them set up the net, and looked at a large bag of goods from the tail slipway in surprise, and pulled directly to the boat.

"So many goods?"

"Such a big bag? Dongzi, uncle, you just ran so far, and you still have goods? ”

Father Ye said with a smile: "I happened to run into a school of herrings, so I stayed there for a while, and then I ran into a group of sea wolves, cast a few nets, and dragged a net over there before coming back to pick up the net." ”

"That's okay, the sea wolf fish is big, and the harvest is very good today."

They didn't see any more wolf fish in the stacked baskets, or they would have been surprised.

"No wonder there seem to be a lot of seabirds at the end of the side in front of me, just trawling, a little far away, and I can't see very clearly."

The two chatted for a while, rested for a while, ate a few things, and went to trawl again.

During this time, they only operated in this sea area step by step, and they did not go far, after all, this place was familiar, and Ye Yaodong took them to fish in this area at the beginning.

Just take the dead salary, no one will think about tossing around, just work in a familiar place steadily, anyway, the more goods and less goods have nothing to do with them, just try your luck every day.

Ye Yaodong actually doesn't care, it's already good to be steady, and it depends on the sky and luck to earn more or less, if they really drive the boat around and toss, he may not like it anymore.

After all, they were only invited to come and work, and they hadn't contracted the ship yet, so it was good to be decent.

The father and son squatted and flipped the catch, counted the number of sea wolf fish, and both knew in their hearts that today's harvest was not bad.

"Dad, go cook noodles, leave it to me here."

"Isn't that you?"

"It's your turn, it's your turn."

Father Ye had to cook noodles depressedly, "Let your daughter-in-law cook a little more tomorrow, and bring the leftovers to the boat at night and put them on top of that bucket of ice, and it won't be bad." ”

If you just cook noodles, the father and son will not push around, mainly after cooking and eating, they have to wash the dishes, and neither of them is happy to do it, although there are only two pairs of dishes and chopsticks and pots, but they also feel that it is difficult.

"It doesn't make a difference, you still have to heat the meal, you still have to cook a pot of seafood, and you still have to wash the dishes."

"Then I can eat too."

"Got it."

Ye Yaodong lowered his head and responded casually, but he heard his father exclaim, and then kept calling him nervously and urgently.

"Ah......hh Dongzi... Dongzi ...... Come on, come on......"

Hearing his father's abnormal tone, he also nervous a little, and his heart lifted.

"What? What's wrong? ”

As soon as he walked over to ask for the exit, he also saw the basking shark lying on the surface of the sea next to the boat with its mouth wide open, floating with the fishing boat.

And there's more than one!

I don't know where two more came out of nowhere, and three solitaires were in a row, looking much longer than their boats, and they were just following the ship, which was really scary at first glance.

I only heard that basking sharks are lazy and like to bask in the sun, and today is the first time I have seen them.

In this era, the marine resources were abundant, and they were all polluted in the future, and it was not easy to see these marine creatures.
