It was completely dark before the Xinhai moored the ship.
"Dad, Uncle Zhou, Master." Chen Yuan stood on the Lixia and looked at his father and the others on the Xinhai.
"Come here and drink." Lin Xinhai shouted.
"OK."
To avoid the wind, the fishing boats moved closer.
Chen Yuan climbed over the guardrail and came to the Xinhai.
The rear deck of the New Sea is particularly spacious.
Chen Feng and Zhou He went in and took out small stools and tables, as well as a bottle of white wine and some peanuts.
"Don't call us when you're drinking," the crew member on the Lixia said with a smile.
"Come and drink together."
The air is humid and somewhat muggy.
After taking a sip of white wine, I was sweating after a while.
While drinking and boasting, Chen Yuan's satellite phone rang.
"Hello." Chen Yuan answered the phone.
"There is a typhoon in Nansha, have you found a place to take shelter?" The call came from Yan Xiaoxi.
"The fishing boat has docked and is taking shelter in the harbor."
"I just saw that there is a typhoon. It's good that you have a place to take shelter from the wind."
"Don't worry, there are early warnings for sea weather." Chen Yuan and Yan Xiaoxi chatted for a while, then went back to continue drinking.
At night, the wind gradually picked up.
Chen Yuan drank some wine and slept deeply at night. When it was almost dawn, Chen Yuan felt the shaking of the fishing boat and woke up.
Zhou Sheng also woke up and turned on the light.
"The typhoon is coming." Zhou Sheng said.
Chen Yuan said "hmm", turned over, opened the hatch and went out, and heard the howling wind.
Chen Yuan's father and the others also woke up and were watching in the cabin.
Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng went to the cab, while Lin Xinmin stayed here all night.
"The strong wind has not come yet." Lin Xinmin said.
"What level can the maximum wind force reach?" Chen Yuan asked.
"Level 10, or Level 11." Lin Xinmin said: "Nansha is only on the periphery of the typhoon, not in the core area."
The howling of the wind outside was getting louder and louder.
After seven o'clock, the wind reached its maximum, and the outside of the cab windshield was completely white.
The howling wind is slightly harsh and makes the teeth of those who listen to it sore.
In the sheltered bay, the sea water seems to be boiling.
The fishing boats that were clustered together were also shaking violently.
After daybreak, the wind became much lighter.
After nine o'clock, the wind stopped.
However, no ships have left yet. It will be noon before a ship puts away its anchor claws and prepares to leave.
Luo Laosi came to the Xinhai again and discussed fishing with Lin Xinhai.
Lin Xinhai called Chen Yuan over: "What should I say?"
"We'll go out tomorrow." Chen Yuan said.
After the typhoon, it was easy to catch fish with trawl nets. There were strong winds and waves, and most of the fish were concentrated on the back of the atoll. But for seine fishing boats, it is not so good to go out now. At least they have to wait a day for the fish to gather.
Besides, when we go out to sea now, the sea is not calm yet.
With the small body of the Shengyuan, it can be done well when going out now.
Luo Laosi looked at Chen Yuan: "I know there are a lot of fish in a few places, but they are not social fish, and the bottom of the sea is mostly rocks and corals."
"How deep is it?"
"The depth is within 120 meters."
Chen Yuan thought for a while and looked at Lin Xinhai.
Lin Xinhai said: "How many fishing nets can there be?"
"How do I know this?" Luo Laosi shook his head: "Can you estimate the approximate number of fish schools?"
Chen Yuan nodded: "I can make a rough estimate."
"ox."
Chen Yuan has a remote sensing fish detector that can detect the approximate number of fish within the range.
Once you know the density of the fish and what kind of fish it is, you can make a rough judgment. However, this error is very large and can only be used as a reference for whether it is worth setting off the net.
Especially for bottom-sinking fences.
The location of the fish aggregator is very particular. Before placing the fish aggregator, you need to know how many fish there are in the sea area. If there are not many fish, the fish aggregator can only collect a lonely...
"I'll help you round up a net and share half of the catch." Lin Xinhai said: "In our team, Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng hold 60% of the shares. Help you round up a net and share half of the catch. It's already a good deal for you."
Already."
"There must be a guarantee." Luo Laosi said: "With one network, can I guarantee a minimum of one million?"
"The most I can guarantee is that you won't lose money. We can't guarantee that you'll get a million dollars online."
There are also many valuable fish in Nansha, including seabream and perch, there are quite a lot of them, and these fish are not cheap. Snappers will gather in groups, but perch rarely gather together. There are also groupers, and
Scorpionidae, and the red Shijiugong.
A net that is more than a thousand meters long can enclose a large circle. Even if the circle is irregular, it can still enclose an area of more than 100 acres.
Then, by placing fish collectors and bait, fish from several kilometers away can be lured over.
The last time we rounded up a net, it was more than 100 tons.
Now let's not say more than one hundred tons, even fifty tons, that's quite enough. The bottom-sinking seine net will mostly catch valuable fish...
Without the unique skill of sinking seine nets, Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng would not have dared to order a fishing boat worth more than 10 million yuan.
"Okay. One network, if I don't lose money, I will give you half." Luo Laosi said.
Lin Xinhai smiled: "Don't look sad. If you sink the seine net, you will catch mostly valuable fish. It shouldn't be difficult to catch more than a million in one net. Don't worry, if there are not many fish,
We will not go offline."
Luo Laosi nodded: "Then rest today and go out tomorrow."
"The waves outside are big now, why don't you go out and try your luck?" Lin Xinmin said with a smile.
"Forget it." Luo Laosi rolled his eyes: "There are so many fishing boats gathering nearby and when they find a school of fish, I'm not in a hurry and hope that the trawling boat will come over."
The typhoon comes and goes quickly. Their location is not in the central area where the typhoon passes...
In the afternoon, cargo ships left the bay one after another.
Trawlers also went out to fish one after another.
Most of the seine fishing boats were still parked in the bay and did not move.
Early the next morning, Luo Laosi came over in an assault boat to find Chen Yuan and the others.
Lin Xinhai was instructing the workers to put the Shengyuan back into the sea, and was waiting to refill the Shengyuan with oil. It was past ten o'clock when everything was ready before setting off.
The surge in the Nansha waters is already large, but after a typhoon, the sea level has not calmed down yet.
After going out, the fishing boat started to bump. When it came to the first sea area that Luo Laosi mentioned, it was a hidden reef...
Chen Yuan sent the drone out for reconnaissance.
Luo Laosi stared with curiosity on his face, this thing is new enough.
Very few traditional fishermen use drones to find and identify fish schools.
"How much does this fish finder cost?" Luo Laosi asked.
"I got it from the second-hand market, but it's not sold in the market." Zhou Sheng said: "This thing is called a remote sensing fish detector, and it is often used on offshore fishing boats."
Luo Laosi approached Chen Yuan and looked at the monitor.
There are many red dots on the monitor, and most of these red dots are on the bottom of the sea.
“Are there many fish?”
Chen Yuan shook his head: "Not many. It should be that after the typhoon in the open ocean, the fish on the reef have dispersed."
"Those trawlers are now at ease. They are all sure to have a bumper harvest." Luo Laosi smacked his lips.
"Go check out the next location."
I looked at several locations in a row and found that either there were few fish or they were not suitable for setting the net.
