The biggest problem with their ships is that there is no freezing room and ultra-low temperature.
The size of the ship doesn't matter, and their ship doesn't travel very far. But without a freezing chamber and ultra-low temperature, it would be really difficult.
The main products here are yellowfin tuna, big eye tuna and albacore tuna. Without ultra-low temperature, the tuna caught can only be frozen and then sent to the freezing ship as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the delay takes a long time, the tuna will not be valuable.
It is impossible for a freezing ship to guard only one fishing boat. Their operation mode is too time-consuming.
"Chen Yuan." Ruby shouted.
"What's up?"
"How many hours do your workers work a day?"
"This... is not allowed. During busy hours, we basically work for more than ten hours. We work in two shifts. Except for meal time, there are always people working." Chen Yuandao.
"My workers are only willing to work eight hours a day, and..." Ruby sighed, and then said: "Can you help me introduce some Chinese workers."
"this……"
After a few minutes, Chen Yuan asked Zhou Sheng to slow down and quickly take back the drone.
Not only is it an adult, it is more than 1.5 meters long and has large attributes.
Big-eyed boys over 1.5 meters usually weigh more than 200 kilograms. The big ones can weigh more than 300 kilograms.
"exist."
"Thank you."
In violent mode, the sound is very loud.
Dabai's horsepower was fully turned on, three engines, high speed... Dabai's speed was getting faster and faster, pulling out a long white trajectory behind him. In the trajectory, Dabai ran very far, and the sea water was still rolling.
The price of bigeye tuna is also very good, especially the large ones, which are not much cheaper than yellowfin tuna.
The density of fish at this mark is higher.
Chen Yuan looked at the distance between the two boats and then looked at the time: "Don't worry, just cruise over at high speed. Lao Wang?"
"Look at the screen." Zhou Sheng pointed to the fish detection screen. At a depth of about two hundred meters, the number of fish was not bad.
The back of the body is bluish-green, and the sides and belly are silvery white. The fish body is grey, plump, with a short tail, and the head and eyes are obviously larger.
but……
It was after five o'clock...almost six o'clock. The tuna below began to rise, and it was only about 150 meters away from the water surface.
Longline fishing boats are not purse seine boats, so it's hard to say how much fishing they can do.
"You help me contact an experienced Chinese captain, and I will talk about the rest myself."
"I'm lucky today. I found the fish so quickly." Gao He took out cigarettes and handed one to each of them.
"I heard it." Zhang Fu replied.
Just now, Dabai turned on the violent mode, and Lin Xinhai, Luo Laosi, Gao He, and He Fei all woke up.
Big-eyes basically stay in the deep water layer during the day and move to the water surface to feed at night. And in the shallow water layer above 130 meters, the activity frequency is relatively high.
After releasing the drone and flying for a while, Chen Yuan was about to take it back when he suddenly saw a dense signal source on the display. He lowered the height of the drone and determined the location of the fish...
"Three o'clock, full power." Chen Yuan said on the intercom.
Chen Yuan chatted with Lu Lu for a while and then turned off the microphone.
"Come here with full power, there is a school of tuna." Zhou Sheng became excited.
"Coming."
Several people nodded.
Chen Yuan thought for a while and said, "Okay, let me ask you something."
"Your boat must be at full power, and don't be pulled too far away." Chen Yuan.
If you are sure it is tuna, you have to chase it no matter what.
"Full power."
Zhou Sheng pointed at Chen Yuan outside the windshield and said with a smile: "Chen Yuan discovered a school of deep-water fish, which is suspected to be a school of tuna."
"A school of deep-water fish." Chen Yuan said. The depth is about two hundred meters, and the number is not very large, but the signal sources are dense, so it is most likely a school of tuna.
"Is it big?" Gao He asked.
"This is not luck." Chen Yuan lit a cigarette, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "I call it strength, do you understand?"
"A little more than two hundred meters."
"How deep?"
While Chen Yuan was still collecting the drone, Lin Xinhai walked out and looked at Zhou Sheng: "Did you find a school of fish?"
The water depth is more than 200 meters, and the group is relatively large. The most likely one is the big-eyed guy...
It is very convenient to have a Chinese captain and then find crew members through the Chinese captain.
"Hahaha... OK, strength. Mr. Chen is awesome." Luo Laosi said with a smile.
It is now after three o'clock in the afternoon, and this school of fish will probably have to wait until the evening before it comes out of the water.
The best time to catch bigeyes is in the evening every day, and then from early morning to the next morning.
Chen Yuan took back the drone and returned to the cabin: "Master, Fourth Uncle, Lao Gao."
Gao He took one look and judged the approximate number of fish in the school, which should be around 300.
Zhou Sheng activated Dabai again, turned on the vertical fish finder, and came to the top of the fish school: "The individuals are good, all above 1.5 meters." Zhou Sheng rubbed his cheeks vigorously, and excitedly opened the radio topic: "Old Zhang, come here quickly.
"
Chen Yuan rolled his eyes and held the walkie-talkie: "It's just possible that it's tuna, and the fish are in deep water, and it's still very early before they come out of the water."
Zhou Sheng became excited, turned on his power, and shouted on the intercom: "Lao Zhang, Lao Wang, you heard the reply."
"Yes, Mr. Chen is awesome." Gao He also laughed.
The equipment of his fishing boat is a bit poor. If it has a freezing chamber and ultra-low temperature, it will be enough for fishing tuna.
Bigeye tuna, also known as fat tuna and paratuna, has a body length of about 1.5-2.0 meters, and the largest ones weigh more than 100 kilograms, generally 160-350 kilograms.
Chen Yuan asked Zhou Sheng to stop the fishing boat and wait quietly.
"Anything found?"
During this time, he also watched the work of Chinese fishing boats, with almost no rest day and night.
When we come to the second marking point, we still launch the drone first to determine the number of fish, and then use the fish detector of the fishing boat to detect the type of fish.
It's past four o'clock now, and I definitely won't be able to make it before evening.
The big-eyed boy is still in the deep water and moves very slowly. It also takes a long time to move from the deep water to the shallow water.
"Okay." Lao Wang returned.
If it is yellowfin tuna, the common water depth is within 160 meters.
Lao Wang is Gao He's partner and deputy captain.
"About three hundred adult bigeye tuna, which is pretty good." Gao He said with a smile.
Chen Yuan calculated the distance. The fastest time for Big Fish to arrive would be after seven o'clock. After seven o'clock, it had already started to get dark here, which happened to be the main time for Big Eyes to feed. But at this point, it would be too late to set the hook.
.
The Big Fish is too far away.
At this time, the sun is also preparing to rest, and it is estimated that it will not be long before it sets below the sea level.
Chen Yuan took a can of Coke and went to the sundeck at the bow of the ship, lying on it with his legs crossed and watching the sunset.
Lin Xinhai and Luo Laosi also came out, each holding a bottle of Coke.
Chen Yuan raised the Coke, and Lin Xinhai and Luo Laosi smiled and came over to touch it.
The next chapter will come later. I came back too late today...
