My Deep-sea Fishery

In the past ten years, the number of black-backed Europeans has been decreasing sharply due to discarded fishing nets and garbage.

Gao Chuang's awareness of animal protection is still very strong, and he wants to save the black-backed ostrich under the sea first while the tiger-headed sea eagle is chasing another black-backed ostrich.

However, those two tiger-headed sea eagles never gave Gao Chuang a chance to rescue them.

Among the eagles, the tiger-headed sea eagle is extremely powerful in combat. It is huge in size, but it is extremely flexible when flying in the air.

Gao Chuang's voice just fell, and before the crew could react, the male tiger-headed sea eagle caught up with the black-backed owl, which was flapping its wings and trying to escape. A sharp claw grabbed the black-backed ou without hesitation, and then the hard and sharp eagle's beak aimed at the black-backed ou's head and pecked.

Immediately, the black-backed owl let out a miserable scream, and blood flowed all over its head instantly.

"These two black backs are finished." Xiang Yang shook his head and said.

"Forget it, if it's over, it's over." Gao Chuang shook his head helplessly. The battles in nature are often so cruel.

At present, the number of black-backed Europeans in the world is about one million pairs, and the reason for their sharp decline is not at all due to hunting by other raptors, but human beings.

"Chirp!"

Seeing that the black-backed owl was not alive, the tiger-headed sea eagle grabbed it with both claws and flew towards the eagle's nest.

When the tiger-headed sea eagle came out of the eagle's nest again, the black-backed owl was gone, so there was no need to think about it, it must have been used as a food reserve by the two tiger-headed sea eagles.

In fact, compared to the difficult reproduction method of the tiger-headed sea eagle, the reproduction speed of the black-backed owl is extremely fast.

In the breeding season of the black-backed European, the female bird will lay two to three eggs, and it only takes about 20 days for the young bird to hatch, and then it will become an adult bird in about two months, with a very fast growth rate. quick.

"Hurry up to organize the camp and withdraw. The two icebreakers and the ocean-going mothership will lead the way ahead, the trawler will follow behind, and the seiner will go to the rear. We will cast two nets along the way." Gao Chuang arranged for the fleet.

Although Xiang Yang's ocean-going fishing boat can be used as an ocean-going processing mothership and has a certain ice-breaking capability, but because Xiang Yang has only one boat in total, he was assigned to the ranks of fishing trawler by Gao Chuang. After setting sail, Xiang Yang and Several fishing trawlers sailed side by side, closely following an ocean-going processing mothership.

"Captain, shall we cast a net?" Chen Qingsheng asked Xiang Yangdao.

Xiang Yang shook his head, "We won't be the first to cast the net, we will cast the net after the other boats have cast the net."

Chen Qingsheng nodded, ran to the side of the boat, and stared at the other fishing boats.

As for the rest of the crew, they were happy and leisurely, smoking cigarettes on the deck one by one, talking about the trip to the Antarctic.

Seeing that the crew members were so idle, Chen Qingsheng immediately said, "Since everyone has nothing to do, let's shell the krill."

Whether Antarctic krill is shelled or not, the price varies a lot.

Unshelled Antarctic krill can only be dragged back and processed into feed or high-grade cat food, because the shells of Antarctic krill are poisonous to the human body, and the shrimp shells must be removed in order to distribute Antarctic krill to the market .

The value of Antarctic krill after the shrimp shells are removed will also double immediately, from tens of dollars a catty, or even a few dollars a catty, to tens of dollars a catty, or even hundreds of dollars a catty.

It's just that the shells of Antarctic krill are not so easy to remove. A shrimp that is only one or two centimeters long, and shelling it is more delicate than needlework.

When the crew heard Chen Qingsheng's words, they wailed immediately. They were a group of old men. If they were asked to shell Antarctic krill, wouldn't that force the strong men to embroider?

Xiang Yang watched with a smile on his face. In fact, Xiang Yang didn't care whether the krill was shelled or not, because to Xiang Yang, it was nothing more than a question of earning more and earning less. Anyway, no matter what, this trip was profitable .

However, when the crew has time, it might be a good thing to shell the krill. Anyway, this is not a physical job. The crew can continue to chat and rest while shelling the krill.

Xiang Yang shouted loudly: "It's up to you to peel or not, but for every catty you peel, I will reward you with an extra ten yuan for the cost of the work."

No one has counted the exact number of Antarctic krill in a catty, but it must be impossible to peel a catty in an hour.

It stands to reason that the cost of the work Xiang Yang gave is extremely low, and it is not as high as the salary on the assembly line of the electronics factory.

But don't forget, regardless of whether the crew members do work or not, Xiang Yang pays the crew members a fixed salary, and peeling shrimp shells is considered an additional income in addition to the fixed income.

As Xiang Yang's voice fell, the enthusiasm of the crew was immediately mobilized.

"Peel, I'll peel, Brother Yang, isn't it just peeling a shrimp shell? How dare you ask for your money for such a trivial matter?" Fang Youqun said, moving his eyes back and forth on the large wooden barrels.

According to Fang Youqun's opposite, as long as he peels a little faster and adds a little water to each catty of krill, he can peel a catty of krill an hour.

Anyway, on this journey, being bored on the boat is still staying, and I don’t feel tired at all for a few hours a day. This day is an extra income of dozens of yuan.

Immediately, except for the necessary crew members on board, everyone on Xiang Yang's boat was mobilized, and there were two jars in front of each of them, one containing unpeeled krill and the other containing shelled shrimp.

Xiang Yang also tried to peel off two.

As a result, Xiang Yang discovered that the shells of Antarctic krill are very difficult to peel.

The small size of the shrimp is the main reason.

Moreover, the shell of krill is also very thin, and it may be damaged if you accidentally peel it off, and it will take more time to slowly peel it off again.

Moreover, the meat of Antarctic krill is not as hard as that of gibai shrimp. When peeling the shell, if you accidentally use too much force, the whole shrimp will be broken immediately.

This is also the main reason why Antarctic krill has been shelled manually and there is no mechanized shelling.

The size of Antarctic krill is too small. If you use mechanized shelling, it is easy to leave the remaining shrimp shells on the shrimp or in the shrimp pile. These shrimp shells are harmful to the human body and can only be used as Human beings cannot eat high-grade cat food or high-grade fishing bait.

In New Zealand, there are even factories that specialize in manually peeling shrimp shells. The entry rules for shrimp shelling factories are very strict, and the reputation is accumulated little by little. Small workshops are not recognized at all.

Krill shrimp exported from New Zealand is the most expensive. After being shipped to Europe, the price can often be as high as hundreds of euros per catty. It is a very delicious seafood treasure.
