Lin Xinhai actually landed nearly 100,000 fishhooks, which Chen Yuan did not expect.
However, the second dry rope has short-line hooks on it, which is understandable.
The fish school at Lin Xinhai is very large, and it is a mixed fish school. How much we can harvest depends on the afternoon.
After dinner, He Fei and Yang Youyou went to the bedroom.
Chen Yuan looked at the chart and started the fishing boat to continue looking for fish.
Finding fish is not just trying your luck randomly in the sea. If you want to find fish, you must know the habits of fish.
There was nothing much to do today. Chen Yuan drove around in his Dabai, calculating the salinity of seawater, and using Doppler currents to measure multi-layered ocean currents in the sea area...
These data are very useful and can help Chen Yuan analyze where large groups of fish are more likely to gather in the future.
Of course, when you go out for a run, you can also record the density of fish schools in a large area.
Longline fishing boats are not seine boats, and they do not necessarily have to find a school of fish before they can set the hook. As long as the density of the fish school is acceptable, they can set the hook.
However, the fish density recorded in advance must be of value in shallow seas. Deep seas are mostly composed of upper-level fish, and the upper-level fish have a very large range of activities.
It's almost noon.
Chen Yuan and the others arrived at the outside of the lagoon to the north of Taimarela. Foreign fishing boats are not allowed to enter the lagoon at will, but they can move outside the lagoon.
Outside the lagoon, the water depth is 30 to 90 meters, and there are many fish. Through vertical fish detection, Chen Yuan also saw a considerable number of tuna. These tuna are more than 1 meter in length, and occasionally there are tuna close to two meters.
Chen Yuan recorded the density of fish.
The best operating area for longline fishing is actually just outside the lagoon. The lagoon has more nutrients and is easier to gather fish.
Chen Yuan circled around the lagoon of Taima Island. Chen Yuan stopped the boat, cooked some noodles, and then left.
After planning the route, Chen Yuan handed the driving seat to Zhou Sheng. He went back to get the drone. When he came out, he heard Zhou Sheng say: "Master and the others are ready to set the hook."
Chen Yuan said 'hmm': "Is that much?"
"Preparing to raise the hook, but it hasn't been raised yet." Zhou Sheng said: "The auxiliary boat they put down after lunch is still collecting the sinker. It is estimated that the hook will not be raised until after four o'clock."
"Now go over and meet Master and the others. It should be around seven o'clock in the evening. By the way, let's ask Master if the nanny is here." Chen Yuan took the walkie-talkie and came to the bow of the ship and asked Zhou Sheng to slow down and release the drone.
go out.
"The nanny and the master have met." Zhou Sheng's voice came from the intercom.
Chen Yuan pressed the intercom button and spat out one word: "Okay."
Dabai returned to the deep sea.
When looking for fish in deep sea areas, remote sensing fish detectors using drones are useful. The detection range is particularly large...
Some large tuna seining boats even carry helicopters. I don’t know what it’s like to use helicopters to find fish.
Dongjiang Fishery’s former mother ship of more than 100 acres had a helicopter landing pad and helicopter cabin on it. But that ship didn’t seem to be equipped with a helicopter...
Time passed quickly and the drone's first set of batteries was about to run out. Chen Yuan took the drone back and went back to replace a set of batteries.
"Are there any fish?"
"Yes. But there are no schools of fish..."
"I think the density of fish here is quite high." Zhou Sheng said, "You can see a lot of fish with the fan-shaped fish detector on the bow of the boat."
"Isn't that nonsense? If it's a seine boat, the cost per day is 8,000 US dollars. If there aren't many fish, who will come to fish?" Chen Yuandao.
"What is the exchange rate between the US dollar and the RMB?"
Chen Yuan charged the battery replaced by the drone and said: "The current exchange rate is about 1 to 6.8."
"The daily operation cost of a seine boat is more than 50,000 yuan? Can it replenish so many fish?"
"Nonsense." Chen Yuan shrugged.
"There are fishing boats ahead." Zhou Sheng suddenly said.
Chen Yuan looked at it carefully: "Bangzi's boat."
"The most disgusting stick." Zhou Sheng looked at the fishing boats in front and wanted to spit on them.
Among the crews of offshore fishing boats, the crews of Bangziguo’s fishing boats can be said to be notorious.
There are all men on offshore fishing boats, and they are all adult men. It is normal to have physiological needs.
The country itself is not particularly famous, and the tourism industry is not very good. The country's main economic support is fishing, and there are many fishing boats from other countries coming to the country to fish.
Bangzi is also famous for not liking to use condoms, and he especially likes underage girls.
As early as 2000, the base country banned Korean ships from docking, but that kind of transaction still exists.
The crew of Bangzi have a bad reputation not only in the base country, but also in many countries.
Chen Yuan rubbed his temples, ignored Zhou Sheng's complaints, and waited for the fishing boat to move away from the stick. Chen Yuan released the drone and continued to investigate.
The stick fishing boat just now was a seine boat, and a fish aggregator was placed here. The density of fish in this large area of sea is obviously much smaller.
After running for a while, Chen Yuan saw a large blue floating ball, with fish already gathering under the floating ball. He looked carefully and saw that there was no flag in this fish aggregator.
Placing a flag means marking the fishing boat to which the fish aggregator belongs.
There is a fee for placing fish aggregators in Kiribati, and you must first purchase the number of fish aggregators. Purchasing the number of fish aggregators is the fish aggregator signal emitting device...
Chen Yuan took back the drone, went into the shipyard, and switched the radio to the Dongjiang Fishery fleet: "Captain Luo Hao, call back."
"Received." Luo Hao said.
"Where are your purse seine boats?"
"Two to the north and the other 45 nautical miles southeast of Binoy."
"I saw it. Who is the captain of the seine boat in Binoy Atoll?" Chen Yuan asked.
"Zhou Jianguo."
"It's me." Zhou Jianguo said, "Did you find anything?"
"I saw your fishing boat, did you see me?"
After a while, Zhou Jianguo said: "At our five o'clock direction?"
"The white fishing boat... I have a fish aggregation device without a flag, and there are a lot of fish around it, estimated to be dozens of tons."
"The ownerless fish aggregator... OK, we'll go there right away." Zhou Jianguo laughed and asked, "Are the fish big?"
"There are tuna, so that's okay." Chen Yuan thought for a while and said: "About 21 nautical miles from our two o'clock direction, there is a stick seine boat. I guess this fish aggregation device is left behind by Bangzi."
"What the hell, there's no flag planted. I know who it is. Make sure there's no flag planted."
"Sure."
A flag will actually be placed on the fish aggregation device with a flag, and the fishing boat to which it belongs will be marked on the fish aggregation device. The signal transmitter must be installed in the most eye-catching position.
When fishing in fee-paying fisheries, fish aggregating devices without flags will be treated as ownerless fish aggregating devices. You can even recycle the fish aggregating devices... It doesn't matter if it has an owner or not, as long as there are no flags, it will be treated as found.
of.
"We're coming here at full speed," Zhou Jianguo said.
"Won't you express your opinion about this?" Zhou Sheng said.
"You have to ask our commander about this," Zhou Jianguo said.
"You get fifteen percent of the fish caught." Luo Hao opened his mouth and said, "If you find an ownerless fish aggregation device or fish school again in the future, tell us and you will get fifteen percent."
Chen Yuan was about to say yes, when Lin Xinhai's voice came over the radio: "Fifteen percent is not impressive enough. It must be 20% anyway. This is equivalent to picking up a school of fish."
