It only took Dabai more than an hour to find the nanny.
Guo Zhiming was already sleeping, but when he heard Chen Yuan and the others coming over, he got up from the bed.
After the marlin is processed, just hoist it up directly.
It's past eleven o'clock in the evening, and Zhao Hai is still catching fish here.
Waiting for the fish to be hoisted onto the freezing boat, Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng climbed onto the deck.
"Mr. Chen, Mr. Zhou." Guo Zhiming said with a smile.
"Don't say anything, just call us by our names." Chen Yuan saw Zhao Hai and said with a smile: "The fish haven't been packed yet."
"There are still some." Zhao Hai said with a smile: "This time is not bad, a good start."
There is a door in the middle of the starboard side of the Nanny, with an extendable conveyor inside. In order to facilitate the transportation of fish, there is also a door on the side of the Dabai, which opens into the freezer corridor.
Zhao Hai and Gao He also followed suit and made modifications.
The two boats are brought close together, fixed, and the side doors of the boats are docked, and then the transmission mechanism is unfolded and extended to the fishing boat. In this way, the two boats can catch fish not only saving a lot of manpower, but also saving a lot of time.
Otherwise, it would take a long time to use a crane to transport dozens of tons of fish.
Chen Yuan went to the processing room to have a look.
The temperature in the processing room here is estimated to be zero degrees Celsius, and the workers are all wearing thick clothes.
The ground was covered with fish and ice debris.
These fish are mainly bonito, sea wolf, ray, etc. These fish are cheap...
The expensive fish are processed on the fishing boat and have already been frozen hard. They are now in the ultra-low temperature fish cabin.
The processing room is very busy, and there are piles of fish being sent into the processing room through conveyors.
Coming out of the processing room, Chen Yuan handed cigarettes to Guo Zhiming and Zhao Hai.
"How many fish did your boat catch and how much was it worth?" Chen Yuan asked.
"In total, there should be five or six hundred thousand." Zhao Hai said.
Five or six hundred thousand is pretty good. This is the price at sea, and it is 70% of the price at sea. After these fish are sent home, after deducting the oil cost and labor cost... Chen Yuan and the others also make a profit of five or six million, or even more.
Want more.
"Your fishing boat caught more than two hundred tons?" Zhao Hai asked in a low voice: "Is there a lot of tuna?"
Chen Yuan nodded: "Quite a lot."
Zhao Hai took a deep breath and nodded. They put more than 20,000 fish hooks, and a lot of tuna were caught.
"Longline fishing still requires tuna." Zhao Haidao: "In the future, help us find some sea areas with more tuna. It doesn't matter if the density is lower, as long as there are more tuna."
Zhao Hai and the others also caught dozens of tons of fish, but most of them were bonito.
Even the big bonito is too cheap.
The current bonito market is pretty good. According to the latest price, the price of Western Pacific bonito delivered to China is US$1,850 per ton.
This is the delivery price, not the final price.
The price of fish harvested by Chen Yuan and others here is cheap, mainly based on the price of fish purchased by Dongjiang Fishery.
Dongjiang Fishery's current quotation is US$1,100 per ton. Chen Yuan and the others still have to pay 30% of the shipping fee, but the actual price given is US$800 per ton.
Zhao Hai and his group had more than 30 tons of bonito, which in RMB would cost less than 200,000 yuan. But they caught three good tuna, and the high-quality tuna were quoted individually, and the three fish were worth 110,000 yuan. Counting other tuna,
The total income is probably over five hundred thousand.
Although there are a lot of bonito caught, they are too cheap. Unless you send the fish back to the country yourself.
But think about the cost of transportation. If you only transport bonito, unless the quantity is particularly large, there will not be a high profit.
After chatting with Zhao Hai for a while on the boat, Chen Yuan and the others returned to the fishing boat.
The night is already deep.
The moonlight is bright tonight and you can see the clouds in the sky.
Chen Yuan helped Yang Xun and the others plan the route, and said, "Just go on the twin-engine economical cruise."
"Okay." Yang Xun said.
Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng returned to the cabin.
The sound insulation in the bedroom is pretty good. This is relative speaking, it is much better than the Shengyuan.
In the bedroom, the sound of the engine is still clear to my ears.
Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng had long been familiar with this kind of noise. After lying down, they chatted for a while and then fell asleep.
It was after eight o'clock in the morning when I woke up.
The fishing boat has already arrived at the designated sea area, and the surge here is relatively large. The fishing boat has turned on its stabilizer, but the hull is still shaking.
Chen Yuan came out after brushing his teeth and washing his face.
He Fei is cooking and Yang Xun is fishing.
"Have you caught any fish?" Chen Yuan asked.
"I just hit one. It's not big, probably about fifty pounds." Yang Xun said.
"What tuna?"
"It should be albacore tuna. It has been processed and placed in the freezer." Yang Xun said: "The price of frozen tuna is very cheap, right?"
"It's okay, Master and the others will be here soon," Chen Yuanda said.
It's only been a few hours, nothing serious. The boat with the big fish is equipped with a freezing room...
Unless it is freshly caught tuna, the main factor affecting the price of tuna is the method of preservation.
At present, the mainstream methods of tuna preservation in the world, from high to low quality, include ultra-low temperature freezing, cold seawater (ordinary) freezing, and chilled.
After the tuna has been bled, finned, and gills removed, the tuna is then placed in an ultra-low temperature rapid freezing chamber. The center of the fish's body is frozen within a few hours or even ten hours of tuna weighing tens or even hundreds of kilograms.
The temperature gradually drops to -60°C, reaching complete freezing, and the water in the fish body is completely solidified, preventing quality changes caused by fluidity and ensuring the quality of the fish meat.
This also ensures the color of the fish and avoids browning and acidification of the tuna.
Chilled, ordinary frozen, there are even a large number of carbon monoxide smoked tuna on the market that has been banned for a long time. These tuna are cheap, but one of their characteristics is that they are bright red, uniform in color, dull, rough, no distinction between shades, and the meat quality
Soft and not elastic.
Ultra-low temperature frozen tuna can retain the unique flavor of tuna to the greatest extent, and retain the original high protein, high unsaturated fatty acids, trace elements and other nutrients of tuna.
Ultra-low temperature tuna is expensive. However, many fishing boats do not have the conditions to equip ultra-low temperature chambers...
Wrapping up the wires requires a lot of money, and the ultra-low temperature chamber requires a lot of investment. Furthermore, the cost of use is high. If the power of the generator on the ship is too small, it will not be able to drive the ultra-low temperature refrigeration equipment.
The meal is ready.
He Fei also put away his fishing rod.
Chen Yuan filled the meal and came to the cab. While eating, he contacted Lin Xinhai: "Master, I received the reply."
"Your master hasn't gotten up yet, why are you calling him?" Luo Laosi asked.
"It's past eight o'clock and you're still not up?"
"He didn't go to bed until after three o'clock last night. Let him sleep a little longer."
"Have you finished collecting the fishhook?"
"It's finished."
“How was the catch?”
"It's very average. Yesterday, all the big tuna hooks were set. About 15,000 were set, and only about fifty tuna were caught, as well as a few swordfish and a quite large grouper."
Chen Yuan said 'hmm': "When can I come over?"
"Let's go."
"Where?"
"Just set off. The Nanny is going back. Yesterday's catch was packed with the Nanny."
