A fishing net with a length of 1,700 meters is enclosed, and the area is equivalent to the size of 32 main stadiums. Considering that it is not a standard circle, it is still an area as large as more than 20 main stadiums.
If fish schools gather in such a large area, it is possible to catch hundreds of tons of fish in one net.
This still takes into account the density of Nansha fish schools.
Compared with some foreign fishing grounds, the fish density in the Hainan Islands fishing grounds is still much different.
It is normal for pelagic seine fishing boats to catch dozens, hundreds, or even hundreds of tons of fish in one net.
We waited until after eleven o'clock and the tide began to rise.
Chen Yuan looked at the fish detection screen. There were big fish on the screen, and there were quite a lot of them: "Master, I got the reply."
"receive."
"Hurry up and get off the net."
"Anything found?"
"The big fish is coming."
"tuna?"
"It could be tuna, or it could be big red fish." Chen Yuan became excited and said, "Do you see many fish on the fish detector over there?"
"There are already a lot, we are now enclosing the net." Lin Xinhai said excitedly.
We were supposed to have to wait a little longer, but a big fish had already come in, so we quickly lowered the net.
The work of lowering the net was ready. Following Lin Xinhai's order, the Lixia turned on its full power and pulled the fishing net out with Pao Gang and Kuo Gang.
The seine netting process went very smoothly. Soon, the net was completed, and nearly 300 acres of sea area was enclosed by the seine net.
Two fishing boats approach.
The Lixia handed the gauntlet to the Xinhai. The gauntlet closed the bottom ring of the seine...
The Xinhai handed the running link to the Lixia, which was the rope at the top of the seine.
The depth of the tuna seine is 270 meters wide. The water depth in this area is between 170 and 185 meters...
Lixia pulled the runners at both ends of the seine to the middle of the seine and pulled the mesh surface of the seine.
There is still a big pile under the current fence.
Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng put on their diving equipment and drove the fishing boat next to the Xinhai. He Fei came up to the fishing boat and helped control the boat.
"You two, please be safe." Chen Yuan made an OK gesture and pointed to the diving camera above his head.
The diving camera has Bluetooth and can be connected to the mobile phone screen.
Lin Xinhai turned on Bluetooth and connected to Chen Yuan and their devices.
"Tie up." Zhou Sheng shouted.
Lin Xinhai brought them press-buckle straps. Chen Yuan took the straps and put them in his shoulder bag. Then he and Zhou Sheng went into the water and slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.
Lin Xinhai held his mobile phone, and Chen Yuan's father and Zhou Sheng's father came over together. Watching Chen Yuan and the others diving deeper and deeper, the light on the bottom of the sea became much dimmer, and the two of them couldn't help but become nervous.
Dive into the bottom of the sea, and the fishing nets on both sides of the gangway have been pulled straight.
Zhou Sheng helped pull the net, and Chen Yuan used straps to tie up both ends of the net.
The bottom-sinking seine is different from the conventional seine. There are many rocks on the bottom of the bottom-sink seine. If you close the net directly, it will hang on the bottom, or it will not be closed at all.
When sinking the net, the first thing to do after lowering the net is to close the net. Then slowly tighten the bottom of the net.
Lin Xinmin on the Lixia also received the footage from the camera above Chen Yuan's head.
Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng moved very quickly. They only had to tie four straps about half a meter apart. In this way, the two ends of the fence were closed together without any gaps.
The two ends of the fence have been straightened, and now we just have to wait for Chen Yuan to close the fence.
I don’t know how many fish were enclosed in this net.
When Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng closed the seine net, they would see small groups of fish escaping from the gaps in the seine net from time to time.
Only a handful of people have escaped now.
Suddenly, Zhou Sheng saw several yellowfin tuna over two meters long swimming towards him. He pulled Chen Yuan, and the two of them quickly came up to the surface and grabbed both ends of the seine net, driving the large tuna back.
The leading tuna weighs at least three hundred pounds and is worth tens of thousands. We can't let them get away.
Lin Xinhai became excited when he saw the large tuna, and so did Lin Xinmin, nervously looking at the screen on his phone.
"Brother Hai's net is going to make a fortune." Guo Run said next to Lin Xinmin when he saw the few tuna still in the seine net.
Lin Xinmin nodded and said 'hmm'.
Lin Xinhai was short of money before and wanted to get Lin Xinmin to invest in the company together. He didn't know that Lin Xinhai was short of money at the time, and Lin Xinhai didn't say that he was short of money. He felt that the investment was too big and he might lose money, so he didn't invest.
Now, I really regret it.
I won’t talk about the previous two networks.
This network now has a greater harvest than the previous two networks.
The Lixia also has fish detection equipment, which can roughly determine how many fish are below. If this net can be perfected, the fish catch will burst into the cabin.
Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng were encircling the fishing net while trying to drive away the big fish that wanted to escape. They ran out of gas bottles and replaced them with another one, and then they completed the work of enclosing the net.
When He Fei saw it, he quickly drove over in his fishing boat and pulled Chen Yuan and the others.
Chen Yuan took off his diving suit, stretched, and took the walkie-talkie: "The fence is closed, waiting for us to check the fence before starting the next step."
"Okay. Why don't you take a rest?" Lin Xinhai said.
"Need not."
Zhou Sheng took out the air pump, pumped up the air bottle, and then lay down on the back deck. He chuckled: "Once the net is closed, we can go back. Do you think there are 100 fish caught in the net?"
ton?"
The circled area is almost 300 acres.
Even without fish aggregators and bait cages, there are already a lot of fish in such a large area.
In addition, I turned on the fish luring lights all night last night, made a fish concentrator to make the fish feel safe, and put nearly 1 ton of Antarctic shrimp as bait...
Chen Yuan didn't know how many fish there were in this net.
"A net of 100 tons is estimated to be around 70 to 80 tons." Chen Yuan also laughed.
There are many high-value fish in the sinking area.
There must be a lot of fish like grouper and snapper. I also saw tuna now, and what I saw on the fish detector screen should be octopus. Large groups of octopus are rare, and they should be fish aggregators and fish collectors.
Because of the bait, it attracted all the octopus fish around it.
One network explodes the cabin, one network makes a fortune.
Chen Yuan is now excited.
After the cylinder was fully inflated, Chen Yuan took Zhou Sheng into the sea again, pointed the camera at the seine, and also reported the situation on the seabed to Lin Xinhai and Lin Xinmin.
After circling the seine net, Chen Yuan and the others returned to the fishing boat again.
Lin Xinhai and the others also learned about the situation on the seabed and began to direct the gathering of the upper gable of the seine net. The lower gable of the fishing net was lumpy, and they had to straighten the seine net before they could close the upper gage.
Lixia has come out of the seine net. In order to facilitate the subsequent collection of the net, the fishing net has been straightened from the outside.
As for the assembly and running of the fishing net, it is now handed over to Chen Yuan and his fishing boat.
The whole operation is a bit complicated, and if one link is not handled well, fish will escape. Lin Xinhai is an old captain. He has also participated in bottom seine nets in deep water areas before, and has certain experience in directing these tasks. Now open the net, Lin
Xinhai has been watching the command from the side of the ship...
