Chapter 163 The fate of fortune collides with a school of fish
The moon cannot be seen tonight.
On the sea, three fishing boats turned on their headlights, illuminating the entire sea.
The Lixia caught a fish.
No one knew what kind of fish was caught in the first net, and everyone on the boat cheered.
Chen Yuan yawned, took the satellite phone to the bow of the ship, and called Yan Xiaoxi: "Hello."
"ah?"
"Not sleeping yet."
"I have already answered your call, so of course I haven't slept. Why haven't you rested yet?"
"I just finished my work," Chen Yuan said.
"There is heavy rain in Nansha. Have you received the weather warning?" Yan Xiaoxi always pays attention to the weather in Nansha and is often worried about Chen Yuan and the others.
"It's just heavy rain. If there are no strong winds, there is usually no warning." Chen Yuandao said.
"How long until you can come back?"
"It's almost time." Chen Yuan thought for a while and said, "I'll be back around the 20th at the latest. If it's soon, I'll be back in four or five days."
"You haven't called me in the past two days. Have you gained anything?"
“We just caught dozens of tons of fish, but we are still far from our target.”
Chen Yuan took the phone and chatted with Yan Xiaoxi for more than ten minutes. After hanging up the phone, Zhou Sheng took the phone and called Chen Xin.
Chen Yuan returned to the cabin with a smile.
The damp cabin was a bit smelly.
Chen Yuan turned on the air conditioner and blew it for a while before lying down.
When I woke up, it was after eight o'clock the next morning.
He Fei was sleeping on the driver's seat, and Yang Xun was lying on the bench. After several days in a row, He Fei and the others were also very tired.
Chen Yuan brushed his teeth, washed his face, and opened the refrigerator. There were several tiger shrimps and crabs in it. He took them all out and cooked a pot of noodles. Then he took out the bean sprouts and boiled some.
"Yang Xun, He Fei..." Chen Yuan made breakfast and went over to wake them up: "Breakfast is ready, eat something and go back to the cabin to sleep."
He Fei opened his eyes with difficulty and rubbed his cheek vigorously.
Yang Xun also woke up and said with a smile, "It's time to eat."
"Okay. Get up and eat something." Chen Yuan took a stainless steel basin and filled some for Yang Xun, He Fei and the others, two tiger shrimps each and one crab each.
After finishing the noodles, He Fei blanched some bean sprouts.
Zhou Sheng put chili noodles in the basin, and Lao Ganma said: "When you go back, you must have a big meal. Eat these things every day."
"We have fish, shrimps and crabs every day. Isn't that considered a feast?" Chen Yuan looked at Chen Yuan with a smile.
"Gan. I'm tired of eating these every day." Zhou Sheng said: "I want to eat tiger shrimps minced with garlic, baked with salt, or grilled with charcoal. Instead of boiling, boiling, boiling..."
He Fei looked at Zhou Sheng and raised his eyebrows: "I think it's delicious."
"If you can boil fat intestines, don't talk to me."
Yang Xun laughed loudly beside him: "That's right. On the sea, you don't understand the pain of those of us with heavy tastes."
There were three fishing boats floating on the sea, and there was some noise.
After dinner, Yang Xun and the others went back to sleep.
Chen Yuan started the fishing boat and went to take a look at the Lixia first.
The Lixia has been busy all night, and the fishing nets have just been taken back.
There are only a few people on duty left on the ship, and everyone else has taken a rest.
Chen Yuanzheng said he went to the freezing cabin to have a look, and saw Lin Xinhai.
"How was the harvest last night?" Chen Yuan.
"The cabin is full." Lin Xinhai said.
"Full cabin?"
Lin Xinhai smiled and nodded: "The net we caught last night was estimated to be over forty tons."
Adding all the valuable fish catches to the worthless fish catches, it is estimated that there should be 45 tons.
By the time the fish from Luo Laosiyu's Xinhai were brought in, the cabin would be almost full.
The two nets around the bottom caught a lot of fish, so the Lixia went back first. Otherwise, selling those worthless fish at sea would be a huge loss, since the quantity was not small after all.
Furthermore, there are not many fish on the sea now, so it doesn’t matter if we have the Lixia or not.
"Xinhai." Luo Laosi shouted on the intercom.
"receive."
"All the fish I have here will be moved to the Xinmin. How can it be packed in?"
"able."
"Okay, my ship is coming."
"Okay." Lin Xinhai said, "Slow down a little bit."
Luo Laosi smiled "hehehe": "Are Yuanzai and Shengzai awake?"
"Wake up. Yuanzi is next to me."
"Leaving to Xisha today?" Luo Laosi asked.
"Yes. Waiting for you to clear out the warehouse and go to Xisha. We will go back when the cabin is full." Chen Yuan took the walkie-talkie and said.
"Okay. No matter whether there are large or small groups of fish behind, as long as they are almost there, we will lower the net. When the cabin is full, we will go back." Luo Laosi said.
"good."
Lin Xinhai took the walkie-talkie: "It's a bit difficult for my ship to have a full cabin."
"A net around your ship is equivalent to a full cabin on my ship. Gan."
"Let's see if we can find Rocket Squid."
Chen Yuan yawned and went into the warehouse to look at the fish.
This time they came out with a good harvest and caught a lot of fish. Even Chen Yuan was a little dissatisfied.
Chen Yuan carried several boxes of beer to the Shengyuan on the ship, and then took the refueling pipe to refuel the Shengyuan.
Luo Laosi finished moving the fish, and it was almost noon.
The Lixia blew its whistle and prepared to return.
The sky has thick clouds.
As soon as the Lixia left, it started pouring rain.
Chen Yuan installed the remote sensor on the bow of the fishing boat, Zhou Sheng drove the boat, and Chen Yuan looked at the remote sensing picture. The two chatted for a while, which was quite boring...
The rain is getting heavier, the wind is coming, and the waves are rising.
Four nautical miles south of the Yongdong Sands, remote sensors received dense signals from biological sources.
"Master, I received the reply."
"receive."
"There is a school of fish in front of me... there is a school of big fish." Chen Yuan looked at the increasing number of signal sources on the screen, his eyes widened: "Hurry up, come here, use full power."
"The waves are coming, please be careful."
"Okay, I know.
Chen Yuan asked Zhou Sheng to speed up.
The Xinhai and Luo Laosi were not far away, and the two ships were coming at full speed from behind.
"Is the fish school big?" Zhou Sheng looked at Chen Yuan.
"The signal is very dense, it's a big school of fish." Chen Yuan took a deep breath: "As long as it's not a fish like a sand tip, you'll be rich."
The fishing boat came above the fish school, and the vertical fish detection screen showed densely packed small fish.
"I'll go, it's Shajian again." Zhou Sheng said.
Chen Yuan was holding the walkie-talkie and was about to report the situation to Lin Xinhai. Suddenly he saw a big fish appear on the monitor screen: "I'm so sorry..." Chen Yuan's heart trembled and he quickly called Lin Xinhai: "Master, come here quickly.
It’s extremely urgent.”
Chen Yuan quickly adjusted the fish detection screen and turned the power to the maximum.
"Tuna?" Lin Xinhai was instantly excited when he heard Chen Yuan's anxious tone.
"It's almost the same." Chen Yuan took over the driving seat and drove the fishing boat to continue reconnaissance.
This is a mixed fish school, with a school of sardines on the upper layer. But there are still fish at a depth of about 200 meters, and the body length of those fish is more than 1.5 meters.
"Master, we are going to get rich." Chen Yuan said excitedly.
"What kind of fish is it?" Luo Laosi asked.
"Steady, steady, it's coming, it's coming." Lin Xinhai said.
The depth of two hundred meters is almost the limit of fish detection. Chen Yuan could not judge the specific length, but estimated it to be 1.5 meters.
Then there are fish around the sardines, and these fish surround the sardines. The length of the fish is less than half a meter, and there are many of them.
Chen Yuan directed Zhou Sheng to patrol above the fish, and he was so excited that he lit a cigarette.
Zhou Sheng looked at Chen Yuan: "How do you say that?"
This group of sardines is estimated to be more than ten or twenty tons, and it is mainly fish that hunt for sardines. If the speculation is correct, this mixed fish group is mainly composed of sardines, and then the sardines attract bonito schools and tuna schools.
Of course, there are other fish in it, such as sea wolves and octopus that look like shit stirrers.
There are quite a lot of octopus fish in Nansha, and they are also very big. However, there are very few octopus fish in large groups... Generally speaking, there are more than ten octopus fish in a group, and most of them are in groups of three or five.
As long as groups of small fish appear, you can basically see octopus.
Chen Yuan took a deep breath to calm down his excitement.
Speaking of which, this school of fish is not particularly big. But at this time, it is rare to have such a large school of fish.
"How many tuna are there?" Zhou Sheng asked.
"How do I know?" Chen Yuan pointed to the fish detection screen: "What I just saw, I estimate there are more than a hundred fish."
"Not a lot."
"Don't be dissatisfied." Chen Yuan threw a cigarette to Zhou Sheng: "Guaranteed 100 cigarettes."
In addition to tuna, there are also large groups of sardines and bonito here.
There are also a lot of bonito.
Chen Yuan guessed that there were a lot of tuna here, at least a hundred. If there were more, maybe even three hundred.
Of course, there is little hope of getting to the end of three hundred. But it should not be difficult to get to the end of two hundred.
More importantly, Chen Yuan initially judged that most of these tuna were more than 1.5 meters long.
It's almost mid-November now.
The native tuna schools here in Nansha are very small. It took Chen Yuan and the others a long time to catch more than a hundred tuna in a net.
Thinking about it now, the yellowfin tuna caught in the net before was probably a fish that came here recently. Otherwise, given the density of fishing boats in Nansha... it is really rare to see more than a hundred tuna.
If it is a tuna school that has just cruised over recently, the number of this fish school is difficult to estimate. After all, their fish detectors can only detect a depth of about two hundred meters. They just did a simple detection for fear of disturbing the fish school, so there is no
Continue the reconnaissance.
As for the picture of the remote sensing fish detector, there are too many fish here, and the signal sources are very dense. Judging from the picture just now, there are still fish in the water depth below 200 meters.
