Chapter 102 Big Yellow Croaker
Soon the second net was pulled up by people in concert, and it was again full of seafood, on par with the first, no, even more than the first.
"Oh my God, this net costs two hundred pounds, right?"
"That's for sure, these two nets have caught up with our previous day's harvest!"
"If there is a 200 catties in each net, then let's catch it for a day, and it won't be more than 2,000 catties?" The smile on Huzi's face was particularly bright, "Fill the cabin, we can go home!" ”
Huzi's daughter-in-law is about to give birth to a child, and he used to go out to sea to fish for many days, and he thought that he would not be able to catch up with the birth of the child.
"It's all because we have Zhenzhen on the ship, Zhenzhen's fate with the sea, that's nothing!"
"Yes, yes, we all have to thank Zhenzhen."
Jiang Dasheng turned around with a smile and asked Jiang Zhenzhen, "What did you just say?" ”
Jiang Zhenzhen: "...... "If I say don't believe in luck now, will these people believe it?" She laughed dryly and said, "It's nothing, I hope there will be this harvest in the next net." ”
"That's for sure!" Da Yao asked confidently, "With you, can you still harvest?" ”
"Look, there's a lot of big yellow croaker here!" Suddenly, someone shouted.
The crowd followed the call and looked over.
The nets had been opened, a bag of seafood had been scattered on the boat, and there was almost no place on the deck for people to put their feet. Many, many large golden yellow croakers are bouncing around on the deck.
"How can there be a big yellow croaker at this time?" Someone wondered.
Giant yellow croaker is a warm and humid nearshore migratory fish, which has a group habit, and will swim from the open sea to the shore in clusters during the reproductive season, forming a fishing flood. The fishing flood is divided into spring and autumn, and now it is April, which is the period of the big yellow croaker fishing flood. However, they usually inhabit the middle and lower layers within 60 meters, preferring turbid waters to light, so they only rise at dawn, dusk or high tides, and sink during the day or at low tides.
Everyone looked up at the hot sun, it was noon, and it stood to reason that the big yellow croaker was hidden at the bottom of the sea, so it was impossible for them to catch it.
Jiang Zhenzhen said in her heart, it should be her golden finger that works. The blood attracted schools of fish in the vicinity, even the large yellow croaker hiding at the bottom of the sea.
Speaking of this big yellow croaker, Jiang Zhenzhen couldn't help but drool.
The big yellow croaker is a totoaba family, the fish eyes are clear and translucent, the gills are bright red, the fish tail is slender, the meat is garlic cloves, and the meat is delicate and no fishy smell, the taste is extremely delicious, there are a variety of cooking methods, no matter how to cook it is very delicious, it is a kind of fish that Chinese people love very much.
But the wild big yellow croaker was already listed as a critically endangered species in the period before Jiang Zhenzhen's rebirth, and it is impossible to eat it again.
As for the reason, it's obviously because of human overfishing.
Before the 80s, the large yellow croaker used to be an important economic fish species in the Chinese ocean, and was once listed as one of the four major marine fisheries in history with small yellow croaker, hairtail fish, cuttlefish, etc., and the output reached more than 200,000 tons in 1974.
At that time, people used the knock fishing method. The large yellow croaker is very sensitive to the threat of acoustics, and also has the ability to make strong sounds, especially during the reproductive season, when males make "gurgling" and "whining" sounds, while females make "humming" sounds.
People use this characteristic of the big yellow croaker to find the fish, and then keep knocking on the bamboo board tied to the boat, drive the big yellow croaker to the middle of the fishing net, and then increase the knocking force to stun the big yellow croaker and then pick it up together.
This method is low-cost and inefficient, and it is more vicious than the no-account network.
The large yellow croaker was originally a fish with a high number of reproductions and a fast growth rate, but due to overfishing, this species was almost extinct.
Later, Huaguo has been trying to restore the ecology of the giant yellow croaker in the East China Sea, but the effect has been minimal. The large yellow croaker fishery in the East China Sea has been extinct since then.
"The big yellow croaker is no longer easy to catch." Jiang Dasheng suddenly said, "In the past, from April to June every year, there were so many and fat big yellow croakers that it seemed that they couldn't be caught. But it hasn't worked for two years, and although there are still fishing floods, there are obviously a lot less. ”
Jiang Zhenzhen was in a trance when she heard this, has it turned out that she has already begun to show her signs? She suddenly thought that if she was reborn, could she do something for these creatures in the sea?
Now that I think about it, there was no fishing moratorium in this era, and it seems that everyone takes it for granted that there are no endless fish in the sea, but this is clearly not the case.
Jiang Zhenzhen asked: "Why don't you let the big yellow croaker recuperate for a period of time before fishing?" You see that the fishing flood is generally formed during the spawning period of the large yellow croaker, and the large number of large yellow croakers caught during this period is not equivalent to making them cut off their offspring? ”
Jiang Dasheng is a person who understands, he said with a smile: "That's the truth, but now if you don't catch it, others will catch it, and let the big yellow croaker cut off the offspring is better than our human beings cut off the offspring, isn't it?" ”
The large amount of yellow croaker is easy to catch, and it is the economic source that many fishermen rely on to survive, if they do not have this income, they are afraid that they will starve to death in the end.
In fact, in the final analysis, people are too poor now.
Jiang Zhenzhen heard that when there was a famine in ancient times, people were so hungry that they even ate people, not to mention these big yellow croaker.
Jiang Zhenzhen sighed, she thought, protecting the marine ecology is really a long way to go.
In the morning, I caught about three nets, and everyone stopped, because it was time for lunch.
Of course, the briquette stove used on the ship, because to cook for ten people, Wang Guiying started to work very early.
She didn't make any complicated dishes, she just cleaned up the small trash fish that the fishermen caught up today and made a big pot of braised trash fish. Pomfret, red shrimp, small yellow croaker, tofu fish, etc., there are all kinds of them, stewed and rotten, mixed into noodles, so delicious that you can swallow your tongue.
Everyone lined up, first filled themselves a large bowl of noodles, and then spread a thick layer of braised trash fish on top of the noodles, and then took the bowl to find a place to sit down, and began to devour their meals.
For people who are already hungry after a long morning's work, nothing satisfies them more than a bowl of fragrant braised trash fish noodles.
"Aunt Gui Ying, your braised trash fish is too delicious, isn't it? It's much better than the food cooked by Dongzi. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone agreed, and they all looked at a thin boy who was guarding the stove. The boy is only sixteen this year, and he was in charge of the food on the ship until Wang Guiying got on the ship this year.
Huzi quipped: "Dongzi, you have to learn from Aunt Gui Ying, your craft, I'm honest, if it's on the island, the pigs won't eat it." ”
Dongzi coughed dryly, his face turned red, and said, "I know, I know!" ”
