Chapter 46: Wu Lan!

Inside

"See if the fish are scattered. There are plenty of fish here, which should attract tuna. Zhao Tiandao said.

Su Ming complained: "My boat is difficult to find now. There are too many fish around, and the remote sensor receives too many signals. Even if there was tuna coming, I couldn't see it from afar. ”。

"Fish scout with a fishing boat, you're idle right now anyway."

"Okay, I'll go for a run."

There are plenty of fish here that may attract tuna.

Su Ming opened a can of Red Bull, took a drink, lit another cigarette, and set off.

It's dawn.

There was a red light at the end of the sky, and Su Ming went out for a run and didn't find any major discoveries.

After returning, the net is still set up here.

At this time, Zhao Tian was smoking in the captain's room. He said on the walkie-talkie, "Brother, how many fish did you play with?" ”

"There must be 15 tons of tuna." Zhu Ming was envious. "There are 107 tuna, the small one is about 40 kilograms and the largest is about 70 kilograms. This net makes you rich. ”

Zhao Tian smiled and said, "General." I used to ask you to buy stocks, how about it? ”

"Next time. The next time I go to sea, I'll buy one. ”

All right

"How many fish do you think?"

Zhu Ming replied: "There are still several tons." ”

"Are there two million in this network?" Zhao Tian said.

"Definitely."

"Hahaha......"

Zhu Ming heard Zhao Tian's exaggerated laughter again.

Zhao Tian and they talked through the walkie-talkie, and Su Ming could hear their voices here.

Zhao Tian's excited voice made Su Ming speechless: "What are you excited about, it's been more than half a month since you came out."

"Then you won't be able to find the fish," Mr. Zhao said.

Su Ming said: "Hurry up and eat fish, tuna is easy to come here during the day." ”。

"It's fast. There are too many fish," Zhu Ming said.

I was busy until after ten o'clock, and I put away all the fish.

squid, estimated at more than 20 tons.

There are 251 tuna, with a minimum weight of 30 to 40 catties and a maximum weight of 70 to 80 catties.

Some trash fish were also caught.

Su Ming went to take Xu Yan to cook.

"What is the value of this network?" Xu Yan asked.

"I heard Zhao Tian just now, and they said that the value of this net should be more than 2 million." Su Ming said, "Rocket squid is very expensive, there are more than 200 tuna. ”

The price of rocket squid returning directly at ultra-low temperatures is also very good.

The ship's workers hadn't slept for many nights. The fishing boats are now stopped and everyone is cooking.

A 1,700-meter fishing net is also a difficult task.

Su Ming blanched two squids and sliced them. The meat was white and tender. Dip in mustard and place directly on your head. Then there is a faint sweetness around the tip of the tongue.

After dinner, some of the workers on the fishing boat went back to sleep.

Some of them rested for a while last night and were busy sorting out the fishing nets on the boat.

"Captain." Su Ming drove the fishing boat over.

"What are you doing?" Zhao Tianzheng said that when he saw Su Ming's fishing boat approaching, he was getting ready to sleep.

"Satellite phone."

Zhao Tian smiled and took out the satellite phone. "When are you going to bring your girlfriend to show us?"

"There's a chance." Su Ming smiled and said, "Can the hydraulic system of the crane be repaired?" ”

"We have to go back and dismantle them all. Even if we can do it now, there is no hydraulic fluid. "But it's not a big deal." We can still go offline. ”

Su Ming walked to the bow of the boat with a satellite phone. He called Luna and said, "Hello. ”

"You called me. When will you be back? Luna asked.

"It's going to take a while."

"How many fish did you catch?"

"Today is the first network. There are more than 20 tons of squid. Su Ming said with a smile.

"How much can more than 20 tons of squid be sold for?"

"The current price is about $80,000 a tonne," Su Ming said. ”。

The price of rocket squid is high, while some species of squid are cheap.

"More than 20 tons? Almost 2 million? ”

"It should be. However, it is necessary to deduct fuel costs, wages, ...... How much is left? I'll have to wait until I sell it. ”

"Today is the National Day, will the National Day Energy Conservation come back?"

"It should be fine. I think I'll call you ahead when I go back. ”

"Okay."

The weather was terrible some time ago. Su Ming never called her to Luna. Today, in this interval, she talked on the phone for more than ten minutes.

I fell asleep again and woke up in the afternoon.

Su Ming released the drone and still received a large number of biological signals.

Lixia goes to the edge of the squid school to see if there is a tuna school.

Xu Yan smoked outside.

"Did you find it?" Su Ming asked.

"I don't know. I just woke up for a while. Xu Yan threw a cigarette.

The large number of squid schools makes it easy to attract tuna schools.

"Uncle." Su Ming contacted Zhu Ming, the captain of the Lixia.

"Roger."

"Did you find anything?"

"I found some big fish signals, but I don't know if it was

There are not many tuna. “

"Let's go out and have a look." Su Ming started the fishing boat and turned on the fish probe.

Not far away, a photo of the big fish comes from the fish detection screen. Su Ming calculated a *** type. These fish are about 1.5 meters long and swim very fast.

Su Ming picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "I found a big tuna." ”

The walkie-talkie used by Su Ming is a public channel.

"How old?" Zhao Tian's voice came from the walkie-talkie.

"About 1.5 meters," Su Ming said.

"Not much."

"There are only three." Su Ming said, "It should be tuna." Let's get out. ”

"Okay."

After leaving the squid's range, Su Ming took out the drone and released it. Half an hour after the flight, there were no major discoveries.

There are few large tuna stocks in the South China Sea, but there are many small tuna stocks as well.

Su Ming replaced the drone's battery, and the fishing boat moved to another position to continue flying.

The sky was getting dark, and Zhao Tian's voice came from the radio: "Have you found it?" ”

"Nope."

"And come back. A school of tuna gathers here, a lot. You come back to command the network. ”

"Okay."

Su Ming took the drone back, and Xu Yan launched a fishing boat to send Su Ming to Lixia.

Su Ming first looked at the pictures detected by the horizontal fish detector, determined the location and depth of the fish, and contacted Zhao Tian: "Let's take a detour first." ”

"Okay."

There are two types of tuna. The tuna found in the afternoon is small in number but large in size.

Now, this group is numerous, but not small.

The distance between the two groups of tuna is seven or eight hundred meters.

Small individuals and large groups of tuna are catching squid in a circle. Large tuna scattered

"Zhou, Liu Bei, Li Qiang?" Su Ming shouted.

"Yes," Xu said.

"Received ......" Liu Bei and Li Qiang.

"Now go in the direction of three o'clock, stop and ......don't move," Su Ming said after seeing Xu Yan and them in the captain's cabin, "Go further." ”

"Okay?" Xu Yan started the fishing boat and ran further.

"Almost."

Zhao Tian, the public channel of the walkie-talkie, said: "Are we close to this position? ”。

"Almost."

Su Ming and his family are mainly surrounded by a large school of small individual tuna, about 200 meters from the school. aloof

In this position, the windward side of the fishing vessel remains windward and downstream.

When two fishing boats approach and pull to the top and bottom of the purse seine net, they will move at full speed. After dragging the end of the net into the water, they will target the fish and quickly release the net in a circular motion to encircle the fish.

When the purse seine was in progress, Su Ming shouted, "Now catch the fish." Catch as much as you can. Hurry up. ”

"Okay."

Xu Yan was the first to enter the water. The throttle stick goes straight to the top and drifts into place.

Liu Bei and Li Qiang each drove a full-powered assault boat. The three ships are fan-shaped, and they can make as much noise as possible

Three of their fishing boats are outside the big tuna. Suddenly, the tuna is frightened and flees towards the purse seine net.

"The tuna is in the purse seine," Zhao Tian shouted excitedly.

"Outside the fence, wait for us to close the net." Su Ming was also very excited. "Master, the winch is ready, the catch should be faster. This net is too shallow, and it is easy to run fish from the bottom of the net. ”

"Ready," Zhao said.

This time the purse seine was more than twice as fast as last night. When the fishing boat approached, the two fishing boats approached due to inertia.

Su Ming walked out of the captain's cabin and went to the new sea with the running rope and rope.

The running rope is tied to the bow of the boat, including the rope that connects the winch. The brackets at both ends are closed together. Turn on the machine and quickly tighten the bottom mesh.

Xu Yan's fishing boat is in a purse seine net. Su Ming was still holding the walkie-talkie: "Did you run fish from below?" ”

Xu Yan said: "The largest tuna, I can't see the fish detector around me, which is beyond the detection depth. ”。

"." Su Ming looked back at the winch and said, "Can this thing be faster?" ”

"It's the fastest."

Su Ming counted the time, and after eight minutes, Guo Gang's two ends were closed.

Su Ming's scalp was really numb.

Zhao Tian was a little embarrassed and said, "The money is not enough, this winch was finally retrieved by Zhao Tian." ”

"Don't tell us we don't have enough money. A large winch doesn't cost much. "Su Ming was a fish that escaped from him. Tuna here is hard to find. When it comes to finding this position, luck plays a big role.

Purse seine nets must be fast when closing the bottom of the net, especially when catching tuna, otherwise the tuna will escape from the bottom of the net.

Don't think about it, this time the tuna must have run away. Most are big fish. A large school of fish of dozens of catties should not be able to run much.

But it was only after escaping from the big fish that my heart ached. Big fish are valuable.

"Say no more, hurry up and catch the fish." Zhao Tian looked at the photos of the fish detection and found that some fish were running. He also ran a lot. "If the network is good, we will go back and upgrade the equipment and then come out again."

The fish are still running out of the net. This is Zhao Tian's fault. He knew he was an old captain and made a low-level mistake. Not to mention that Su Ming felt uneasy and angry, and Zhao Tian himself felt uneasy.

In the South China Sea, it is not easy to find relatively large tuna this season. Zhao Tianxian is always ready not to find tuna in a month

Su Ming said "um" and said with a smile: "Is there ten tons in this net?" ”

"What do you think, Ten Tons? Five tons is the best. ”

The winch of the main winch is small, so a larger winch needs to be replaced. Their photo is only 270 meters deep, and the contour is slow to tighten, making it particularly easy to run fish.

The tuna didn't run last night because it was late and there were a lot of squid in the nets. Those tunas may still be full, they are surrounded and don't know what's going on.

Zhao Tian can be said to have hollowed out his family in order to go to sea this time. After all, no one wants to have trouble in the process of fishing.

If you have the money and good machines and equipment, you will definitely be able to go. The problem is that there is no money.

In any case, the outline is closed.

Two of the three windlass were broken, and the remaining one was of little use.

The Shinkai began to adjust its position and prepare to set up a network.

Zhao Tian had several winches on his fishing boat.

Typically, if the winch is large enough, connect the two ends of the net to the winch, and then the net can be pulled out of the water.

The power pulleys of the mainmast on the aft deck of the fishing boat begin to retract the net and keep shrinking the net rings.

Zhao Tian did not have enough money to rebuild the fishing boat, and the winch was the same as before.

Previously, it was not tuna purse seines that could be used. Now the weight of this net is not light, especially after the purse seine is out of the water.

The fishing vessel is equipped with three cranes.

The role of the crane is to lift the lower rope and assist in the recovery of fishing nets.

If these devices are in good condition, the efficiency of lifting and recycling fishing nets can be increased several times.

Two of the three cranes broke down, but fortunately, not all of them broke. Otherwise, the problem will be serious.

"Are you out of the water?" Xu Yan's voice came from the walkie-talkie.

"Not yet."

Xu Yan said: "Hurry up, and surround a net of squid tonight." ”。

"It's impossible," Su Ming said.

The fence that was set up last night was not restored until after 2 p.m. this afternoon.

Just as he said that, the next outline finally surfaced.

Then he began to shrink the net, and Su Ming helped on the boat

Before you know it, the sky is pitch black.

As the net continues to shrink, tuna can be seen in the net under the light.

The Lixia kept getting closer, helping to raise the nets to prevent the tuna from jumping out of the purse seine nets.

It wasn't until after nine o'clock in the evening that the net was narrowed down to a suitable range, and the tuna was rushed to the fisheries department. Lixia's crane is hung with a large net.

Xu Yan and Li Qiang, as well as Liu Bei, help with fishing in the nets.

The power of tuna is great. There should be more than two hundred kilograms of tuna in it. You should be very careful when fishing.

More than ten minutes later, the first tuna net hung up and it looked much better. They are all yellowfin tuna, about 40 kilograms in size.

In Hainan, there is a large amount of tuna of about 40 kilograms.

"Are there any big fish?" Su Ming lay on the boat, looked at Xu Yan working in the seine and shouted.

"Yes. I saw several large shipments. "But the speed of tightening the contour just now was too slow." I should have run some big fish. ”

First.com has 3,410 articles.

After bloodletting, the fish are gutted and sent to an ultra-low temperature freezer for preservation.

There is no waste of fish offal. They are all frozen and can be sold when they return to the gate ramp. It is used to feed groupers in cages.

Su Ming went to Lixia. His father and Xu Yan's father were helping to pull fishing nets.

"Dad, Uncle Zhou," Su Ming shouted.

Su Ming's father smiled and nodded, and Zhou He also smiled, "Alas."

"Su Ming, please collect some nets," Xu Yan shouted.

"Master, collect some more fishing nets." Su Ming said on the walkie-talkie.

"Shut down the network immediately?"

"There aren't many fish."

Originally, the number of large tuna, which was about 1.5 meters long or even larger, should have been in the dozens.

A small school of tuna. Su Ming has seen the fish detection pictures on the Lixia, and the preliminary estimate is at least 10 tons. But now it seems that it is good to catch 5 tons of tuna with this net

Zhao Tian had also judged this fish before. He is tall and does not have many fish. He stamped his foot and ordered a few more nets to be collected.

"Su Ming," Xu Yan shouted again.

"What are you doing?"

"There are still a lot of big fish," Xu Yan said with a smile.

"Stay safe and slow down."

"Okay."

The speed of catching fish is a bit slow. It takes about 20 minutes to catch the net.

Su Min was on board

After a while, I went to see the cold storage on the Lixia.

Most of the money spent on the refurbishment of the two fishing boats was spent on cold storage.

The Lixia has three refrigerators, the largest of which is used to process squid, which is almost full. It is estimated that there will be an increase of 23 tons.

Yesterday, 251 tuna were caught in cold storage No. 2, with a minimum weight of more than 30 catties and a maximum weight of more than 80 catties. The total weight is about 7 tons.

Cold Storage No. 2 and Cold Storage No. 3 are relatively small.

Refrigerator No. 2 is almost full.

Tonight's network, if it includes some awesome gang machines, Lixia will be able to return to Mankuang.

It wasn't until one o'clock in the evening that the tuna in the purse seine were up.

There are only 17 tuna over 1.5 meters in length, and it is estimated that there are more than 30. The largest bluefin tuna is 2.47 meters long. This bluefin tuna is particularly fat, weighing at least 270 kilograms.

There are a few more good ones.

Then there are the small individual tuna, which are very fat and can all go to the auction house. In terms of meat quality, the meat quality of small tuna is better than that of large tuna, which can be auctioned separately.

The larger the tuna, the better the meat quality, but it also depends on the sea area where the tuna lives and the fat of the meat.

Today's tuna adds up to less than 300.

This was much better than expected, but at least half of the fish were caught in this net.

Xu Yan fixed the fishing boat to the Lixia and climbed up: "This net is much less than expected. When catching fish, I saw at least 30 large tuna. ”

That's exactly what we see and what we don't see.

According to preliminary estimates, the number of large individual tuna is more than 50. But only 17 people were arrested, the rest fled after the profile was collected.

Not only did the big fish run a lot, but the small fish also ran a lot.

Zhao Tian also came to Lixia and said, "How many? ”

"289 tails." Zhu Ming said, "I ran more than half of it. ”

Zhao Tian scratched his head and said, "This ...... My responsibility is not to calculate the torsional force of the machine. ”

"You can lose millions of dollars at a time." Zhu Ming was also distressed. Although he is not involved in the stock market, this batch of tuna is of good quality. In terms of price, it can be more expensive than the big tuna caught in the last two days.

Today's losses are certainly more than a million.

"What's wrong? I wanted to say yesterday, how slow is the show? ”
