There are several winches on the Lin Xinhai fishing boat.
Normally, if the winch is large enough, the lower leg of the fishing net can be pulled out of the water by connecting both ends of the bracket to the winch.
The power pulley on the main mast on the rear deck of the fishing boat begins to retract the net gear and continuously shrinks the net circle.
When Lin Xinhai renovated his fishing boat, he didn't have enough money, so he still used the old winch.
The one used before was not a tuna seine. Now this fishing net, the weight of the lower frame and the lead weight is quite heavy, especially after the seine is out of the water.
The fishing vessel is equipped with three cranes.
The function of the crane is to lift the lower frame and assist in recovering the fishing net.
If these equipments are in good condition, the efficiency of raising and recovering fishing nets can be several times faster.
Two of the three cranes were broken. Fortunately, not all of them were broken. Otherwise, the trouble would have been huge.
"Is Xia Gang out of the water?" Zhou Sheng's voice came from the intercom.
"not yet."
"Hurry up and try to get another squid net tonight," Zhou Sheng said.
"I guess it's not going to happen quickly." Chen Yuan said.
The seine net set down last night was not recovered until after two o'clock this afternoon.
Just as he was talking, all the girls finally came out of the water.
Then began to shrink the net circle, Chen Yuan helped on the boat...
Before I knew it, it was already dark.
As the net circle continues to shrink, tuna can already be seen inside the net circle under the light.
The Lixia kept coming closer and helped to hoist the fishing net to prevent the tuna from jumping out of the seine net.
It was not until after nine o'clock in the evening that the net circle was reduced to a suitable range, and the tuna was driven to the fishing department. The Lixia's crane was hoisting a large net.
Zhou Sheng, Yang Xun, and He Fei helped catch the fish in the fishing net.
Tuna is very powerful, there should be more than 200 kilograms of tuna in here, so be very careful when catching the fish.
Ten minutes later, the first net of tuna was hoisted up, and it looked like a lot. They were all yellowfin tuna, and they were all about forty pounds in size.
In Hainan, there are a large number of tuna of about 40 pounds.
"Are there any big fish?" Chen Yuan lay on the boat and looked at Zhou Sheng who was working in the seine and shouted.
"Yes. I saw several big fish." Zhou Sheng said: "But the speed of tightening the hook just now was too slow. Some big fish should have escaped."
Article 30 or 40 of the First Network.
After these fish were bled and their internal organs were cleaned, they were stored in ultra-low temperature freezers.
The fish internal organs are not wasted. They are all frozen and can be sold for money when they return to Zhapo. They can be used to feed groupers in cages and the like.
Chen Yuan went to the Lixia, where his father and Zhou Sheng's father were helping to pull the fishing net.
"Dad, Uncle Zhou." Chen Yuan shouted.
Chen Yuan's father smiled and nodded, and Zhou He also smiled and said "Hey".
"Chen Yuan, ask Master to collect some nets." Zhou Sheng shouted.
"Master, collect some more fishing nets." Chen Yuan said with a walkie-talkie.
"Closing the net now?"
"Not many fish."
Originally, for large tuna, that is, those with a length of about 1.5 meters or even larger, the number of large individual tuna groups should be dozens.
Chen Yuan had seen the fish detection footage on the Lixia and initially estimated that there were at least 10 tons of small individual tuna. But now it seems that it would be good if this net could catch 5 tons of tuna.
Lin Xinhai had also judged the fish school before. It was quite high and there were not many fish. He stamped his feet fiercely and directed to collect some more fishing nets.
"Chen Yuan." Zhou Sheng shouted again.
"What are you doing?"
"There are still a lot of big fish." Zhou Sheng laughed.
"Pay attention to safety and do it slowly."
"good."
The speed of catching fish is a bit slow, it takes almost twenty minutes to get a net.
Chen Yuan stayed by the side of the ship for a while, then went to see the cold storage on the Lixia.
A large part of the money for the renovation of these two fishing boats was spent on cold storage.
The Lixia has three cold storages, the largest of which is used to deal with squid and is almost full. I roughly estimated it to be 23 tons or more.
There were 251 tuna caught yesterday in Cold Storage No. 2. The smallest weighed more than thirty kilograms and the largest weighed more than eighty kilograms. The total weight was about 7 tons.
Cold storage No. 2 and Cold storage No. 3 are relatively small.
Cold storage No. 2 is almost full.
This evening's network, if the Kuogang machine is more powerful, the Lixia will be able to return with a full warehouse.
It wasn't until after one o'clock in the night that all the tuna in the seine caught up.
There are only 17 tuna over 1.5 meters in length, and there are estimated to be more than 30. The largest bluefin tuna is 2.47 meters long. This bluefin tuna is particularly fat and weighs at least 270 kilograms.
There are still a few good ones left.
Then there are the small individual tuna. These small tuna are very fat and can all be put on the auction house. In terms of meat quality, the meat quality of the small tuna is better than the few large tuna that can be individually selected for auction.
For tuna, the bigger the individual, the better the meat quality. It also depends on the sea area where the tuna lives and the fat content of the meat.
The total number of tuna today is less than 300.
This situation was much better than expected, but at least half of the fish were lost in this net.
Zhou Sheng fixed the fishing boat to the Lixia and climbed up: "This net is much less than expected. When catching fish, I saw at least 30 large tuna."
That's just what I've seen, there's still something I haven't seen.
The number of large tuna was initially estimated to be over 50. However, only 17 were caught, and the rest were all lost during the compilation.
Not only did the big fish run away a lot, but the small fish also ran away a lot.
Lin Xinhai also came to the Lixia: "How many are there?"
"The end of 289." Lin Xinmin said: "More than half of them have escaped."
Lin Xinhai scratched his head: "This... my responsibility is that I didn't calculate the twisting force of the machine."
"You can do it. One mistake can cost you millions." Lin Xinmin was also distressed. Although he did not participate in the shares, the quality of this batch of tuna was good. In terms of price, it might be more expensive than the big tuna caught in the past two days.
.
The loss today will definitely exceed one million.
"What's going on? I just wanted to say it yesterday, why is the speed of closing the outline so slow?"
"After installing the cold storage and the power pulley mast, there is no money. I still owe the fuel bills for this trip. The main engine of the ganging machine was not replaced, but a big wheel was replaced. When the ganging was closed, it could not be pulled.
Move." Lin Xinhai looked at Chen Yuan and the others apologetically.
"If you don't have money, just tell me. Kuogang machines are not expensive."
"It's okay." Seeing Lin Xinhai's uncomfortable look, Zhou Sheng said with a smile: "When we go back, we can change the fishing machine, and we can come out again after a while. Now is not the best time to catch tuna..."
Chen Yuan also smiled and said: "When we go back this time, we will make the equipment better. When we come out next time, the net will be hundreds of tons."
"Good guy, you're right, a net of a hundred tons." Lin Xinhai was still heartbroken, but he still laughed.
