My deep sea fishery

There are three types of fishing nets on board Xiangyang's boats, namely dense-net fishing nets, fine-net fishing nets and medium-net fishing nets.

In fact, a dense-net fishing net is used to catch a puffer fish. The puffer fish, which looks like a tadpole, has a strong drilling ability and can easily drill holes much smaller than its body. A ten-centimeter long puffer fish can be easily removed from a fine-net fishing net. Drill out of the mesh.

But the puffer fish is now an endangered creature, and the pure freshwater puffer fish in the wild is almost extinct now. In some large hotels, the price of three or four thousand yuan per catty is almost as high as the blue crucian tuna. The price of the puffer fish in the ocean is low. No, but it also cost thousands of dollars. It is not easy to encounter a group of pufferfish on the ocean. Xiang Yang never thought of killing them all.

Soon, a fine-net fishing net was thrown from the tail of the stray fishing boat to the sea, and the fishing boat slowed down to trawl fishing.

"Zhou Wang, close the net!" Xiang Yang pointed at the walkie-talkie ten minutes later.

Upon receiving the order, Zhou Wang immediately commanded the two new crew members to control the winch. With the roar of the winch machine, the fishing net was slowly dragged onto the deck.

"It's done." Uncle Xiang craned his neck and looked at the fishing net until he saw the big bale of fish wrapped in the net when it came out of the water and finally smiled happily.

"This efficiency is too high, right?" Xiang Chen was also stunned. He had fished for many years, and the net piled down like a mountain of catches, which simply refreshed his worldview.

"The good days are still to come. Don't be stunned. Hurry up and clean up the catch." Xiang Yangcai called out immediately after the fishing net was dragged onto the deck before it was released.

"Yes, hurry up and clean up the catch. This puffer fish will be raised with seawater, and it will be worthless if it dies." Xiang Jiu also said loudly.

The fishing nets were untied, a large group of oblate bodies, the shortest body length was about ten centimeters, and the longest one was even more than 40 centimeters. A large group of pufferfish were jumping alive on the deck. After a while, there was a bunch of chubby balls on the deck. "Balloon".

In addition to being highly poisonous, the pufferfish also has a special function to defend against enemies. Its stomach can inhale a large amount of water or air to make the body instantly expand into bubbles and emerge from the water, so that the enemy has no time to kill it.

The pufferfish in a balloon state also erects the thorns on the epidermis like a hedgehog for self-defense. Even if caught by other animals, the puffy and prickly puffer fish can make it difficult for the opponent to swallow.

Xiang Yang hugged a "big ball" with a diameter of more than forty centimeters and placed it in an aquarium. "All pufferfish with a length of more than 30 centimeters were picked out and kept together separately. Don't mix with the small pufferfish."

Adult puffer fish generally grow to be ten to thirty centimeters in size. The price of puffer fish in this range is about the same. The puffer fish over thirty centimeters are more treasured, and their value immediately doubles.

"Come, I'll get it." Uncle Xiang walked to the water tank where the big puffer fish with a length of more than 40 cm was located, and slowly stroked the puffer fish with one hand a little behind the head of the puffer fish. After a while, he saw that the diameter exceeded The big 40-centimeter "balloon" narrowed slowly and soon returned to the appearance of a normal pufferfish.

Of course, there are more than puffer fish in this net. The puffer fish is omnivorous and eats mixed food. Fish, shrimps, crabs, shellfish, even some floating algae and plant leaves are included in their diets, and they are in the ocean. The food chain is at a lower level, has no sense of territory, and can live with many marine life groups.

"Don't throw these worthless marine fish in the water tank. Waste the space of the water tank and throw it into the freezer." Xiang Yang saw that someone grabbed any fish and threw it into the water tank and quickly stopped.

After busying for a long time, the catch was finally cleared. The net caught a total of more than 3,000 catties, of which the puffer fish was one thousand catties. Although the remaining two thousand catties of marine fish were all not very valuable marine fish, they were wholesaled on average. It's okay to sell it for ten yuan a catty.

"It's a good start!" Uncle Xiang found Xiang Yang and said with excitement: "If we go down this network, the profit will definitely exceed one million."

Xiang Yang also counted it silently. He was really surprised if he didn't know it. Even if he didn't count the two thousand catties of cheap marine fish, the value of the pufferfish alone was more than one million.

In fact, the value of puffer dolphins in previous years was higher. At that time, the conditions for artificial breeding of pufferfish were still immature, but the freshwater pufferfish in rivers and lakes were almost extinct. At that time, the price of the Yangtze pufferfish, which was known as one of the three freshest products of the Yangtze River, was fired up to seven or eight. With the sky-high price of one thousand yuan a catty, the net worth of the pufferfish in the sea has also risen to three or four thousand yuan a catty.

In recent years, the technology of artificially farming puffer fish has matured, and the price of wild puffer fish has gradually dropped to more than 1,000 yuan per catty.

Of course, this price drop refers to the puffer fish in the sea, and the Yangtze river puffer fish is still priceless.

"Would you like to cook a few puffer fish to celebrate?" Xiang Yang asked.

"Don't, maybe this thing can really poison people." Uncle Xiang immediately shook his head.

"Okay!" Xiang Yang nodded regretfully. In fact, Xiang Yang has never tasted puffer fish when he grows so old, but he has always heard people say how delicious puffer fish tastes, even if he risked his death, he would eat puffer fish.Xiang Yang naturally wanted to try it after listening to it for a long time, but of course Xiang Yang could only give up when he saw that people like uncle Xiang who wandered on the sea all year round didn't know how to deal with the pufferfish toxin.

"This kind of opportunity is not common in the future, do you want to cast a net again?" Xiang Jiu asked.

Xiang Yang hesitated, and finally shook his head and said, "Forget it, the first net is a gift to us from the ocean, and the second net is that we kill the ocean."

"Okay!" Uncle Xiang could only shook his head regretfully. According to his experience, there must be a lot of pufferfish under the sea. If you can catch all of them, you will definitely earn more.But Xiang Yang was right. If everyone sees the high-end marine products and kills them all, the entire ocean will become barren in the future.

The fishing boat was still advancing at a constant speed. Xiang Yang saw that the first net was almost cleared, and he directly shouted: "Speed ​​up and move on. After an hour, we will drag a net of fish up, and then dive down to the bottom of the sea to take a look and return. I will give everyone a day off when I go back."

"Diving into the sea?"

"Diving into the sea?"

The crew on the ship suddenly had two completely different reactions. The old sailors including Xiang Jiu had a slight change in their expressions. The new sailors recruited from Qinglong Bend were all happy, looking forward to seeing how the bottom of the sea looks like. Fan scenery.

Xiang Yang also noticed that the expressions of the two old sailors on the boat changed, and he couldn't help but wonder: "Why, is there any problem with what I said?"

The two old sailors glanced at each other, and then stopped talking, but at last they both shook their heads, "Captain, we are fine."

Uncle Xiang pulled Xiang Yang's arm, "Xiang Yang, let's take a step to speak."
