My Deep-sea Fishery

Hearing what Xiang Yang said, Fang Youqun quickly hugged the lobster and threw it into an empty water tank.

As for Xiang Yang's words, Fang Youqun didn't have the slightest doubt. Rare things are always more expensive in the market, and the bigger the lobster, the more valuable it is indeed.

This lobster is so big that it can be taken to some big hotels as the treasure of the store. If it can't even be sold for 100,000 yuan, it is a joke.

Next, Xiang Yang went into the sea several times.

Unfortunately, Xiang Yang never found such a big lobster again.

There were blue crabs the size of a leather ball, Xiang Yang caught a few and brought them up.

One after another, the dozen or so crew members who went into the sea also returned to the ship, each with their net pockets bulging, obviously they all had a certain harvest.

Among them, Tang Bao got a stonefish weighing four to five catties, and I don't know where he found it.

"Captain, I caught a very strange fish here. It looks a bit like a turbot, but it's not. I'm not sure if it's worth it, so I caught it up. I'm in a place on the bottom of the sea. I found a lot of this kind of fish, if it is valuable, I can take everyone down later.” Chen Qingsheng poured most of the contents in the net bag into several water tanks, and then handed the last thing in the net bag to Xiang Yang said.

"A fish that looks like a turbot? There are many?" Xiang Yang guessed in his heart when he heard this. This should be a kind of flounder, but he doesn't know which one it is.

Opening the net pocket and looking, Xiang Yang was sure instantly, and said, "This is plaice."

"Plaice?" Chen Qingsheng asked suspiciously.

Xiang Yang nodded and said, "Plaice is a kind of flounder. It likes to live on the sandy bottom and survives by preying on small fish and shrimp."

Plaice are especially adapted to bottom-dwelling life on the seabed, due to their flat body, with both eyes on the side facing up, the color of this side matches well with the surrounding environment, plus the fact that their body is facing down White on one side, the plaice can hide itself very well on the sand.

The difference between this flatfish and turbot is that it has extremely fine scales on the surface of its body. Apart from that, there is no obvious difference. It also has only one dorsal fin, which extends almost from the head to the tail fin.

"Is this fish expensive?" Chen Qingsheng asked Xiang Yang.

Xiang Yang felt a little funny, "Master Chen, why are you like Fang Youqun, always like to ask about the price of fish?"

Chen Qingsheng rubbed his head in embarrassment: "There are a lot of this kind of fish in this sea area. I found a lot of them just now. Aren't you in a hurry? If this fish is expensive, we can earn a lot of money." Big money."

Xiang Yang shook his head and said: "Plaice mainly lives in temperate waters, and is a very important economic fish in temperate seas. The iron preserved fish that is often used to make dumplings in Chaoshan area is actually dried plaice, which is made from dried plaice. .”

"It's meaningless to ask whether this kind of fish is expensive or not, because its unit price is indeed not expensive. The purchase price is more than ten yuan per catty, and the market price is usually twenty or thirty yuan. , seems to be a very cheap sea fish with little profit, but in fact, it supports a small half of our country's seafood market."

When Chen Qingsheng heard it, a look of disappointment was written on his face, "So, its price is not as good as turbot."

Xiang Yang nodded slightly.

Although they are all flounder, turbot has no bones, and is easier to handle, and the meat is more delicate, and the price is indeed slightly higher than that of flounder.

"Then there's no need to go fishing. We know the origin of a piece of turbot. The sea area is not as deep as this one, but the turbot resources are a hundred times more abundant than the flatfish resources here." Chen Qingsheng said.

Xiang Yang nodded. Turbot likes to live on the sandy bottom of shallow seas and prey on small fish and shrimps. Plaice is an important economic fish in temperate seas.

Under the premise of knowing a sea area rich in turbot, it is really not worth fishing for flatfish.

"However, the fat content of flounder is very low, and it is rich in protein, various vitamins, and trace elements needed by the human body. Every 100 grams of raw flounder contains 19 grams of protein and only 1 gram of fat. Humans provide nearly 400 kilojoules of calories, and regular consumption of plaice has a great effect on preventing high blood pressure and high blood fat."

"Let's rest for a while, and then go down to the sea again. If you come across this kind of fish, you don't have to catch it just because it's cheap. We catch it, and we use it as a staff meal. It's delicious. It's also very good." Xiang Yang said.

After hearing this, the surrounding crew members immediately nodded one by one.

Xiang Yang grinned, and asked people to put the plaice in the water tank, and cook it when they had enough for a meal.

In fact, Xiang Yang prefers turbot without scales to flatfish with fine scales.

An occasional meal, however, generally tastes pretty good no matter what it is.

Xiang Yang stayed in place for three or four hours, and went down five times before giving the order to leave the sea.

After re-starting, Xiang Yang prepared to cast a few more nets, then headed towards Xisha, then bypassed Sansha City, and returned to the same route.

It is a pity that along the way, the fishery resources are not very rich.

Although this sea area is very large, there are also a lot of fishing boats. After waves of fishing boats, fishing again and again, the fishery resources in many sea areas have actually been exhausted.

Otherwise, there would not be so many fishermen who choose to go to the high seas to fish, or simply stop fishing, sell their boats, and start farming when they go back.

After several consecutive nets, Xiang Yang did not catch any valuable fish.

The only net with a large number of catches is more than half of them are very cheap sea fish such as squid and cuttlefish.

The interest of the whole boat has become a little low.

Since Xiang Yang went to sea, it was rare for him to be so unlucky.

Two days later, Xiang Yang finally reached the tropical sea.

After arriving in the tropical sea, without Xiang Yang's words, the crew members naturally suggested to cast a net.

Between tropical and temperate oceans, due to climate differences formed by different ocean currents, fishery resources are often very rich at the intersection of ocean currents.

Xiang Yang originally meant to cast a net. After all, he went to sea this time. If he didn’t count the big lobster, he really didn’t even make back the cost. Now that he’s at the confluence of ocean currents and hasn’t cast a net, when should he cast it? net?

"Let's go to an Internet cafe, Master Chen." Xiang Yang said to Chen Qingsheng along the way.

It may be that the fishery resources at the confluence of ocean currents are indeed very rich, or it may be that Xiang Yang's time has finally turned, and this net has finally allowed Xiang Yang to encounter a large school of fish.
