My Deep-sea Fishery

The price is high, and it is left over from other people's domestic consumption.

Take Antarctic krill, for example.

High-grade cat food made from Antarctic krill costs only a few dollars a pack in Norway, but when it is shipped to China, the price immediately doubles by more than ten times.

Let's talk about the Antarctic icefish.

Norway doesn’t sell the fresh, big ones, and the frozen ones that are small and dead are exported.

However, it is these small frozen goods that have to go to Italy first, so that the Italian market can select some good ones first, and the rest will be sold to countries around the world at extremely high prices.

In Academician Zhang's view, it is a great thing for the country and the people that domestic fishermen can reach the Antarctic for fishing.

"Well, you are very kind. We just came over there. When collecting biological samples, we encountered a large number of fish schools. You can go over there and have a look." Academician Zhang kindly reminded.

Xiang Yang was taken aback, is this an official announcement?

Gao Chuang was overjoyed and quickly thanked the academician Zhang.

Academician Zhang smiled and said: "You don't need to thank me, I just mentioned it casually, if the cabin is not full, you should go quickly, the climate in Antarctica is changeable, and the flood season for fish is not long, so I'm afraid nothing will happen if you go late." No more, we have to rush back to the Great Wall Station, so let’s just leave it like this.”

A group of people watched Xuelong No. 2 leave, and then Gao Chuang did not stop for a moment, and immediately ordered: "Stop the work at hand immediately, and put the fish that have not been processed into the live water tank or the frozen tank first, and we will come back later." deal with."

Then the fleet didn't stop for a moment, just followed the icy road driven by Xuelong 2, and headed towards the direction pointed by Academician Zhang.

Fang Youqun didn't take it seriously, "Brother Yang, that icebreaker made such a big noise, it just came from here, even if there were fish, it was scared away? What are we going there for?"

Xiang Yang smiled and explained: "Fish schools are the same as fishing grounds, they will not form for no reason. Just now the old man said that there are a lot of fish schools over there, it must be because there are a lot of plankton in the sea water there. Or migratory fish schools passing by, no matter what the reason is, the fish schools there will not disappear in a short time, we just go and cast nets.”

"Oh, if only there were eels." Fang Youqun lamented.

Fang Youqun has been fascinated by eels since he ate eel soup last time. Unfortunately, even fishermen don't often catch eels.

If you use a fishing net, unless you use a catch net, it is basically impossible to catch the eel. Even if the net is caught, the eel will escape from the mesh.

As for diving?

Not to mention, Fang Youqun had really fought an eel under the sea.

Unfortunately, the eel's swimming speed was much faster than Fang Youqun's.

As for eel fishing, eels are extremely cunning creatures. Even if animal livers are used as bait, they are generally difficult to catch. As for the special eel bottle, it cannot be used when the boat is sailing. Fishing boats go out to sea to catch , Why so many stays, and it is almost impossible to stay in the sea area where eels are infested every time.

"Don't worry, when I return to the voyage, I will find a deserted island. Let's go to the island for a day and have a picnic. Then I will throw the eel bottle into the bottom of the sea. I dare not say too much. It is enough for our own people." It’s okay to have a meal.” Xiang Yang said with a smile.

Fang Youqun's eyes lit up immediately when he heard the words, "Okay, I'll put the eel bottle in then."

Fang Youqun firmly believed in Xiang Yang's words, because Xiang Yang usually counted on what he said, and he basically did what he said every time.

The fleet sailed along the ice channel where Xuelong 2 sailed for nearly an hour. The mood of the crew members on the ship gradually calmed down from the state of ecstasy and anticipation. Many people were even bored, "That Xuelong Where is the school of fish that the old man on No. 2 is talking about? Why have we been driving this way for so long and haven’t even seen a single fish?”

"Then the old man is making fun of us, isn't he?"

"Shut up." Xiang Yang glared at the crew member who was complaining, "Even though the fish has no legs, they can still swim. Besides, people have also said that if you go late, you may not be there. If you don't see the fish, don't you?" Is it a normal thing?"

"Forget it, I'll go fishing for a while."

Fang Youqun was holding a fishing rod, looking at the sky full of snow, suddenly became very excited, standing on the bow of the boat shaking his head and said loudly: "A thousand mountains and birds are flying, Wan Huh, what is that? Damn it, it's a whale, you hurry up!" Come and see, there are a lot of whales up there."

In fact, Xiang Yang had already discovered it.

And not only Xiang Yang found out, but Gao Chuang and others also saw it. Now, they are discussing urgently through the walkie-talkie whether they should go over and cast a net.

Where there are whales congregating, generally there will be no shortage of fish. Whether it is trawling or purse seine, you can generally get a good harvest.

However, just like this, the fishing net is likely to go to the whale as well.

Don't look at the extremely docile creatures like whales, but if they really get angry, it's not a joke.

"Let's wait a little closer and see what the whale is before making a decision." Xiang Yang suggested on the intercom.

They are still far away from the group of whales, and they can only see a huge fish tail emerging from the sea from time to time, which looks like a bean sprout that has just sprouted.

"I agree with Boss Xiang. There are many types of whales in Antarctica. We need to determine the specific number and type of whales before making a decision on whether to cast a net." The captain of another ship said.

Antarctica is the best place for whale watching. Although many whales like to swim in warm waters, eight species of whales including killer whales and humpback whales can still be seen in Antarctica.

Among these eight kinds of whales, the blue whale is naturally the least annoying.

The blue whale is the largest known living creature, with a body length of more than 30 meters and a weight of up to 200 tons. Although the body of the blue whale looks a little thin, it is actually a well-deserved fat man.

Although blue whales, like humpback whales, have big mouths and small throats, and generally eat small fish, shrimps or shellfish, blue whales that go crazy can even turn over boats. A giant squid skeleton more than ten meters long was found in the stomach of a whale.

In fact, none of these eight species of whales should be messed with. Even humpback whales that are docile or killer whales that are very friendly to humans are the key protection objects of the World Federation for Animal Protection.

In fact, Xiang Yang already knew what kind of whale it was. He had already seen the whale's fat body full of blubber through the water surface with far superior eyesight.
