The prices of tuna in different waters vary greatly.
Bluefin tuna from the South China Sea is not much more expensive than yellowfin tuna.
But the most important thing is to look at the meat quality.
If the meat is of particularly good quality, it can be sold at a sky-high price.
More than 20 nets have been caught, and Chen Yuan grabbed the walkie-talkie and said, "Collect some more nets."
"Okay." Lin Xinhai replied and began to direct the closing of the net.
Heavy rainstorms come and go quickly.
The sky is getting darker and the rain has become lighter.
Chen Yuan was wearing a raincoat, and now he was soaked, so he simply took off his raincoat.
Wait until the net circle is almost closed and continue fishing.
Mostly sardines and bonito, and occasionally a few tuna.
These bluefin tuna are long enough, but not fat enough.
I was busy until after nine o'clock in the evening, and all the fish were harvested on the fishing boat. Now the wind has picked up. The sea surface is like boiling water...
Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng first went to the fishing boat to take a hot shower, and then hurried back to the Shengyuan and headed straight for the nearest safe harbor with full power.
The waves are a bit big, and the fishing boat is hit by the waves from time to time, not to mention shaking violently, and sometimes it feels like riding a roller coaster.
Yang Xun and the others were frightened.
The nearest sheltered island is only about 30 nautical miles away, but now the wind has picked up and the waves have gotten bigger, so the fishing boat can't run fast.
"It would be great if I drove the Yuanxing 55." Zhou Sheng said, "You don't have to feel so uncomfortable now."
"Driving the Yuanxing 55, when the waves come, it will still be bumpy." Chen Yuan took out a cigarette and lit it.
"You call this...bumping." The fishing boat hit a white-headed wave sideways and almost capsized. Zhou Sheng was so frightened that he shivered.
It's dark now, you can't see the waves, and there's nothing you can do to avoid them.
Just because of the side impact of the waves, Chen Yuan's heart tightened.
From the impact of the waves, Chen Yuan quickly adjusted the direction of the fishing boat, collided with the waves with the bow, and headed for the sheltered artificial reef in an S-shaped route.
It's not far from an artificial reef where you can take shelter from the wind.
After hitting another wave, Chen Yuan let out a long breath: "It's really annoying not having navigation radar."
"Don't worry, there is one on Yuanxing 55." Yang Xun came over and took a cigarette and said, "How many tuna were there in that net just now?"
"More than two hundred." Chen Yuan.
"It should be close to three hundred, or early three hundred." Zhou Sheng looked at Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan shrugged: "I don't know."
Anyway, there are a lot of tuna. The harvest from this net is good
Sardines and bonito are not valuable, but they cannot support large quantities. The most valuable bluefin tuna, even if there are 270 fish, weighs 100 kilograms each... in fact, the average weight must be far more than a hundred kilograms.
270 tails, each weighing 100 kilograms, that is 27,000 kilograms. Each kilogram is conservatively priced at 100 yuan, and the total value is 2.7 million.
Why do fishermen like to look for tuna? Tuna is large, appears in schools, and is expensive.
A net of tuna often costs hundreds of thousands, millions, millions, or even tens of millions.
The journey was bumpy and bumped into several waves, but it was considered a near miss.
There are more than thirty ships moored in the harbor of the artificial reef.
It's still raining now, but it's very light now.
All ships have their lights on…
It was a strong wind this time, and the sea conditions were actually not particularly bad.
It was the first time I went to sea under the negative tropical high pressure, and there were strong winds and waves almost every day. Sometimes the sea conditions were even worse than today.
The ships that came to take shelter tonight were all nearby ships, and they were worried about the escalation of sea conditions.
The Lixia originally said it was returning, but after receiving a call from Lin Xinhai in the afternoon, it turned back. It didn't count as turning back, it just turned a corner and came here early.
Chen Yuan and the others found a place to anchor near the shore. Lin Xinmin saw them and sent an assault boat over to pick up Chen Yuan and the others.
"How many fish were there in the afternoon net?" Lin Xinmin pulled Chen Yuan and asked.
A smile appeared on Chen Yuan's face and he whispered: "A conservative estimate of more than three million."
Lin Xinmin took a deep breath, made a tactical backward movement, and gave Chen Yuan a thumbs up: "Cowhide."
If it were three million, and Lin Xinmin held 5% of the shares, he could get a dividend of more than 100,000. This time, a conservative estimate is that the dividend will be 300,000.
Waiting for Zhou Sheng and others to board the boat, they saw two more boats coming outside. They were Lin Xinhai and Luo Laosi.
Chen Yuan and the others came through a big detour, but Lin Xinhai and the others didn't have to, they drove straight over.
"Chen Yuan, Zhou Sheng, Yang Xun... why don't you come over for a drink?" Luo Laosi shouted on the intercom.
"Do you have any good wine?" Zhou Sheng asked, holding a walkie-talkie.
"Maotai, Feitian. Is it a good wine?"
"Forget it." Zhou Sheng chuckled and said, "Okay, let's go have a drink."
"Come to my side. I only have a few people here. There are too many people on your boat, and there won't be enough wine to share." Lin Xinhai pressed the intercom and said.
"Okay. But as I said before, don't start cooking the hot pot again. I had a meal a few days ago and it was so spicy that my butt hurts."
Lin Xinhai's voice came from the intercom: "Are you disgusting?"
"Hurry up and stop the boat, I'll prepare a midnight snack." Lin Xinmin said with a smile.
"We didn't even eat dinner..."
"Are there any fresh shrimps in the net?" Chen Yuan asked.
"No. How can there be shrimps in the bonito school?" Lin Xinhai said speechlessly.
"I have some chilled ones on my boat. I'll bring some over there." Luo Laosi said, "Wait until we stop the boat."
The night is already deep.
Other ships occasionally made noises.
For fishing boats, entering a safe harbor is a rare opportunity for leisure. Most fishing boats will choose to cook a sumptuous meal at this time to reward the hard-working sailors.
The two fishing boats stopped and each launched an assault boat. Soon Lin Xinhai and the others arrived on the Lixia.
"Dad." Chen Yuan looked at his father and shouted.
Chen Feng smiled and nodded: "It's another bumper harvest this time. I think we can make a lot of money."
"Fortunately. The balance due to the yacht factory should be enough." Chen Yuandao.
Zhou Sheng went over and pulled his father, waited for Luo Laosi to come over, and went to the kitchen together.
Luo Laosi brought several large bags of seafood, including shrimps, crabs, octopus, squid, etc.
"The catch hasn't been collected yet?" Chen Yuan saw staff busy at the sterns of the two fishing boats.
"No. The wind has picked up. Come here first and then collect the fish." Lin Xinhai said: "The freezer ship of my boat probably can't hold it. I will send some fish over later."
"How many?" Lin Xinmin asked.
"A lot."
"My cabin is full," said Luo Laosi, "but it's just sand tips, bonito, and tuna. I sent them all to the Xinhai ship."
"How many tuna?"
"322 fish, all over 1.5 meters in length, bluefin tuna." Lin Xinhai smiled: "I really bought the right tuna seine. Without the tuna seine, even if I find tuna, I won't be able to do it."
Lin Xinhai is comfortable now.
On this trip, there was no big harvest in the previous time, but we surrounded two sinking bottoms, plus today's net, although it is not as good as the previous fish catch, it is already very impressive.
