Six Hundred and Twenty-Six. Purse Seine Fish

Generally, when attacked by cod, salmon, and various tuna, capelin will swarm into shallow rivers. In fact, most sea fish are very sensitive to salt, and they will not approach the river estuary.

Therefore, it is safer for capelin to stay in the mouth of the sea.

But this is of no use to the pipefish, which also likes to live in the mouth of rivers and is the natural enemy of capelin.

Under normal circumstances, capelin will not stay in large numbers at the mouth of the sea. There is not enough living space, insufficient food and no safety. They will enter the deep sea when they are almost mature.

The capelin in the Daqin Fishing Farm were transformed by the energy of the Sea God, coupled with the attraction of the food in the fishing ground, they stayed in the fishing ground and became a pitiful existence at the bottom of the food chain.

Although the capelin was left behind, Qin Shiou just wanted to use this fish to replace herring and mackerel to feed the big fish in the sea, but this does not mean that he allows any fish to eat them, in other words, the nuns in the temple—— The monk couldn't touch Ah Q.

The sharp-billed fish were so excited when they found the capelin school in the estuary. They plunged into the waters of the estuary like torpedoes, opened their mouths and wreaked havoc in the water, not only eating but also killing the capelin for fun.

Qin Shiou was immediately angry. These capelin fish were the focus of his cultivation, and the input of Sea God's energy was more than that of tuna, so that they could grow and mature as soon as possible to lay eggs, and strengthen the strength of the capelin fish school.

As a result, it is now 2 cheaper pipefish!

After discovering this problem, he jumped up from the recliner, first drove the motorboat out for a circle, pretended to go to the fishing ground to patrol, and then came back and shouted to the smoking gun who had just disembarked: "Bring the seine net, the fishing ground Invaded!"

Smoker and Bull took a few fishermen and now mainly manage the Harvest. Hearing Qin Shiou's shout, they thought someone had knocked at the door. Hurry up and prepare your troops.

The bull took off his jacket to reveal the black hair on his chest, and roared: "Captain, wait for me, I will take the Remington my father left me! I will smash the heads of those sons!"

Smoker frowned and said, "What's the point of holding a gun? I still believe in his God. Didn't the missiles in the fishing ground not show off? Let's bombard them with missiles this time!"

Zach said weakly: "Am I the only one who noticed the problem? The captain said let's bring the seine net. Obviously the sharks invaded the fishing ground, right?"

Everyone looked at Qin Shiou, and Qin Shiou asked the sky speechlessly: Did I advocate violence a little too much in the past? So much so that it affected these honest and honest fishermen, and became more violent than themselves!

"The sharpbill,

It's a group of sharp-billed fish! Qin Shiou said weakly, "No need for guns and missiles." Bring a seine and fish them up to sell. "

The meat of the sharp-billed fish is delicate, white and tender, and there are fewer finely minced fish bones. Small fish can be fried, while large fish can be steamed, and the taste is very good.

The bull took people to clean up the seine, and the Harvest was connected to the trawl net, and Qin Shiou generally didn't use the seine.

In Qin Shiou's view, this kind of net was a bit too aggressive. It is specially used to round up swarms of fish. When working, use nets to surround fish schools, forcing them to concentrate in the net bag, regardless of size. Catch them all!

This is different from the trawling net. The trawling net is always dragging the fish school. In fact, the fish school has room to move. As long as the mesh of the trawl net is large enough, the small fish will get out of the mesh. As long as the big fish escape quickly, they can also get out from both sides.

What about the fence? That is a net of heaven and earth. Although nominally speaking, the fishing efficiency of purse seine depends on the operational technical level of fish detection and fishing. However, due to the use of high-tech sonar fish finders and the enhancement of the automation of fishing boat purse seines, the phenomenon of empty nets rarely occurs.

As long as the net is not empty, in the selected sea area, the fish school will continue to shrink towards the center of the seine net when they are frightened. In the end, the big fish and the small fish will be crowded together, and no one can escape. Jump over a seine from the water? That is impossible.

Qin Shiou refused to use the seine. He only caught the big fish with the trawl, and the small fish would be let go. But now purse seine is the main fishing gear for fishing pelagic fish resources in various countries, and the annual catch of marine fishery accounts for about 30% of the total marine catch.

Moreover, with the improvement of fishing technology and the popularization of modern fish detection equipment, the scope of seine fishing objects has been continuously expanded, and it has been possible to catch fish clusters close to the bottom.

What a disaster for marine fish!

The bull led several fishermen to quickly hang the seine nets on the Harvest. With a pipe in his mouth, the Harvest sailed.

When approaching the waters over there, the fish finder began to make a sound of "dididididi", which means finding a school of fish.

The fishing boat drove above the water, the motor started to work, and Bull and Zack stood on the stern side of the boat, throwing the long strip-shaped fishing net into the water.

The seine net on the Harvest is a structure with low ends and a high middle part. It is composed of a fish picking part in the middle of the net and two net wings. Ensure that the upper line of the net is always floating on the water surface during operation, and the lower line is equipped with a heavy lead pendant, which can facilitate the rapid settlement of the net to close the bottom of the net ring.

In addition, the upper and lower ends of the edge of the fishing net thrown by the bull into the water are also very different. The upper end is also a large rubber ball, and the lower end is hung with a lead pendant. After entering the water, one end of the fishing net will stand vertically on the in sea water.

The Harvest dragged the other end of the fishing net in an arc, and after enclosing the water area where the sharpbill fish were densest, the other edge of the seine net was also thrown into the water. The same structure ensured that the other side of the fishing net was also erected in the ocean.

In this way, the machine twists the rope that runs through the lower line of the fishing net, first closes the bottom of the two circles, then pulls the net gear, shrinks the net circle and starts finishing work.

The sharp-billed fish was frightened and fled from the surroundings to the middle. As a result, the big fish were easily knocked out when they collided together, so the small fish were more frightened, and finally had no way to escape and concentrated in the fish fetching part in the middle of the seine.

The bull looked at the overcrowded sharp-billed fish in the seine, and said with emotion: "Captain, the Harvest is suitable for seine fishing. You see, it has a flat-bottomed square tail, fast speed, maneuverability, and good lateral stability. , it would be too wasteful to use it for trawling."

Qin Shiou smiled and said, "Let's do trawling. Seine fishing is fine once in a while. For example, this time, these damned sharp-billed fish actually want to eat the small fish in the upper waters of our fishing ground. This is impossible!"

After the seine was closed, the motor of the ship started, and the closed funnel-shaped seine was pulled up amidst rumbling roars.

The smoking gun poked its head out of the cab and whistled, laughed and said, "The fishing ground is really good, and it's a bumper harvest, huh?"

The price of the sharp-billed fish is not bad. This net looks like two or three meals. If it is for sale, it can be sold for 40,000 to 50,000 yuan.

There are still a large number of sharp-billed fish in the sea, and the Harvest has not yet finished harvesting. After this net, the net will be lowered to continue fishing, and there should not be too many sharp-billed fish left behind. (To be continued..)
