My Deep-sea Fishery

Secondly, and most importantly, things like canned herring are really too difficult for ordinary people to swallow.

Take Xiang Yang as an example, let alone eating it, I'm afraid you just need to smell it and spit it out.

Dai Xiaolong grinned and said, "Brother, the herrings on my boat are all fresh."

Generally, fresh herring is acceptable to normal consumers.

The flesh of fresh herring is white in color, firm in texture and delicious in taste. It is often used to make salted fish products and is suitable for barbecue.

my country is also one of the main producing areas of herring, and the fishing season is generally concentrated at this time at the end of the year.

Many herring have no teeth or very weak teeth.

And herring's swim bladder communicates with the stomach, so it can store spare gas in the stomach.

The two protrusions of the swim bladder are connected to the left and right ear cartilage capsules, replacing the fish's ear drums.

Because herring likes to live in groups and feed on small plankton.

Therefore, most herring have to swim 3,000 kilometers long and seasonally return to spawning or wintering places, such as the black-backed sprats in the Caspian Sea.

So the herring meat is very firm and very chewy.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that herring, also known as green stripes, red line fish, Pacific herring, etc.

The output in the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea area in northern my country is very huge.

In spring, they migrate south from the North Pacific Ocean to the coastal waters of North my country to spawn. Their spawning grounds are around islands and reefs far from the shore. After spawning, the herring that gathers in groups with the current disappears without a trace.

In addition, it is said that herring can adjust its ability to adapt to light, so that the fish body can smoothly enter various depths of water layers to capture food, and feed on copepods, pteropods and other planktonic crustaceans as well as fish larvae .

Generally, for herring swimming in large groups, a few days before the start of group migration, there will be a few large individuals with bright colors as the vanguard to open the way. After a day or two of swimming in a dense group of herring at a water depth of about ten meters near the coast, they will Enters shallow water overgrown with algae to reproduce.

Herring clusters are very conducive to their reproduction and effective protection of larvae. At the same time, clusters are a kind of collective action, and everyone cooperates to facilitate foraging.

In addition, herring has a very wide distribution range.

A species of herring found in the Atlantic from Labrador to Florida that has skin a dark shade of blue-green on the back, silver sides, and four or more fins behind the gills on each side. of dark spots.

Herring is the most common species in the Atlantic Ocean, but is also found in the Baltic, North and Mediterranean seas.

In the 1970s, it was developed as a new local fishery species in the Yellow Sea, with a considerable output. This fish is also one of the world's important economic fish.

In the East my country Sea and South China Sea, there are also round-bellied herrings of the same family. The body length is only about 14 centimeters, and the output is equally abundant.

Herring includes small fish such as sardines and herring.

Herring is a seasonal fish, and it is produced in coastal waters of my country.

They have no self-defense weapons in the ocean, and the only way to protect themselves is to swim quickly or change formations in groups, making it impossible for fish that prey on them to do so.

It is also because they often move in groups, so once a school of fish is found, modern fishing tools will catch a lot of herring.

The iron content in herring is the highest among fish, and it also contains nutrients such as nucleic acid, a large amount of vitamin A and calcium.

Xiang Yang asked Dai Xiaolong: "Captain Dai, what kind of herring are you bringing on board?"

There are many types of herring, and the price difference between each species is also very large.

The most famous herring is Atlantic herring, which is more common in our stores than other fish. They generally live in the North Atlantic Ocean and rarely cross the boundary formed by ice floes.

But to lay eggs, they have to swim back to the coast of southern Norway. The scales of this fish are easy to fall off, and there are as many as 60 vertebrae in the body, setting a record for the herring family.

Baltic herring is a variety of Atlantic herring. Even if this small fish grows for six or seven years, it is difficult to grow to 20 centimeters.

They feed on plankton and are easily adapted to freshwater life. Among the herring caught in the Baltic Sea there are sometimes "big ones", up to forty centimeters in length.

Herring is the main fish species in the Baltic Sea, half of the catch here is herring.

In addition, there is a herring-shaped fish in the Baltic Sea-the Baltic sprat, or sprat.

The small critters caught account for the vast majority of all fish caught in the Baltic Sea.

Sprats live in the Black and Mediterranean Seas, the North and Norwegian Seas, and off the coasts of Tierra del Fuego and New Zealand.

There are so many things to catch in herring that even the most discerning gourmet can hardly tell them apart.

There are five species of herring in the Caspian Sea alone.

We call it Caspian herring in our country.

Among them are the common Caspian herring, the kelp herring, and the bigeye herring that live in deep water.

There are Black Sea-Azov sea herring in the Black Sea, and freshwater herring in the adjacent Lake Abolau.

There are four types of black-backed sprats in the Caspian Sea, and four varieties of Volga sprats are also known.

"It is the most famous Atlantic herring among herrings. It is very common in our country's seafood market, and the ones on my boat are all very fresh, and some are still alive and kicking. You will definitely not worry about selling them when you bring them back." Dai Xiaolong said with a smile .

A gleam of joy flashed across Xiang Yang's face.

Atlantic herring generally spawns from December to midsummer. The spawning time depends on latitude and temperature. Its life span can reach 20 years.

Other species of the herring family, such as sprats or Nordic sardines, and other species of the herring family, such as sprats and sprats, and various lesser species are not as good as Atlantic herring.

Of course, Atlantic herring is not the best herring, and some other fishes are also commonly known as herring, such as saury commonly known as wolf herring.

But among so many kinds of herring, only Atlantic herring is an important economic fish. Its density of fish and the number of individuals are unparalleled. It can be said that it is the largest fish in the world.

There are different opinions about why the Atlantic herring can reproduce in such a large number. Some say that the herring is good at adjusting the light so that the fish can smoothly enter various depths of water to catch food, and some say that it has strong reproductive ability. of.

But anyway, this is a very valuable economic fish.

"Captain Dai, can I go to your boat and see the herring on your boat?" Xiang Yang asked loudly.

Dai Xiaolong nodded with a smile, "Of course no problem."

After hearing this, Xiang Yang explained to Xu Fang a few times, and then said: "Put a speedboat down, and I'll go to the opposite boat to have a look."

Xu Fang nodded immediately, "Captain, I'll go with you."
