After two o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng had arrived at today's mark No. 5. The drone flew around and found nothing.
"Chen Yuan, Zhou Sheng." A congratulatory voice came from the radio.
"Yes." Zhou Sheng replied.
"Have you found any fish?"
"There is a school of fish at the No. 4 mark, accompanied by tuna." Zhou Sheng said.
There are very few vegetarian tuna schools. Tuna are usually accompanied by other fish schools, which is the norm.
"I'll finish collecting the fish hooks here soon." Gao He said, "Then we go to Marking Point No. 4?"
"Yes. Go and set the hook at No. 4 punctuation point...how did you get it?"
"There are 115 tuna." Gao congratulated: "The harvest is good."
"It's convenient to talk."
"What kind of tuna is the main fish in Phalanx?"
"Wait a minute, let me ask Chen Yuan."
"Is yellowfin tuna big?" Chen Yuan asked.
I caught some kingfish, but not many in number.
"He's average in size. He weighs about a hundred pounds at most..."
Chen Yuan and his little nanny finally came back and drove directly into the Phalanx.
This is also the reason why the catch of bigeye is less.
There are very few individual tuna, except for schools of tuna in the water.
"Are there any schools of fish?"
"Know."
"In August, the main fishing season in Gilbert is bonito," Chen Yuandao said.
Zhou Jianguo said ‘hmm’.
"Wait for the fishing season. It's too difficult to specialize in tuna. Wait for the fishing season, and there will be all kinds of fish." Zhou Jianguo said, "What should we do?"
"exist."
"Uncle Four." Chen Yuan shouted.
"Zhou Sheng." Lin Xinhai shouted over the radio.
Time flies so fast, several days pass in the blink of an eye.
"There shouldn't be many. This fish school is relatively small..." Chen Yuandao.
Go north in summer and south in winter.
Chen Yuan quickly took back the drone and came to the ship: "Come here."
In the Gilbert Islands, big-eyes are found all year round, but the time to gather in groups is limited. The same is true in other places.
"How is the treatment?"
"I'll put down another string of fishhooks here to see if I can get some more," Luo Laosi said.
"without."
Chen Yuan and the others also traveled a long way, but they had a relatively good harvest on the first day. After that, one boat would catch about two to three hundred thousand fish every day (the fleet's harvest).
"What are you doing?"
"Another small mixed fish school." Zhou Sheng said.
"There are a lot of bonito in the Phalanx, and we also caught some larger kingfish."
Since the Phalanx was placed, the weather has been good. Although there have been winds, rains, thunder and lightning, there have been no particularly bad sea conditions.
"Then you need to use some shallow water hooks, otherwise the bait will not be enough." Chen Yuan said.
"We have 127 tuna here." Luo Laosi said: "There are still many tuna that were caught yesterday."
“Did you set any shallow water hooks last night?”
"Collect the drones outside."
"Why don't you go after tuna?" Chen Yuan was a little depressed.
"If there are not many, we will go back to the Phalanx." Gao He said: "There are more tuna on the Phalanx side, so we will go back and guard the Phalanx."
"Wait." Zhou Jianguo took the satellite phone and went to a deserted place: "Say."
Tuna mostly pursue schools of fish. If there are schools of fish, there will naturally be tuna.
More than a hundred tuna, mainly big-eyes, but these big-eyes are of excellent quality and can be sold at very good prices. A conservative estimate of today’s catch is... several hundred thousand, a boat. This is a boat
The team’s gains.
The big-eye is an oceanic migratory fish that likes to swim in groups.
These are not all Chen Yuan's own catch.
"What are you doing?"
The return of the nanny also means that Chen Yuan and the others have been fishing in the Gilbert Islands for a month.
Chen Yuan took the drone back and came to the cab, where he heard Zhou Sheng chatting.
At this time, the most important fish should be yellowfin tuna. However, bigeyes have the characteristic of gathering in groups.
"That's what longline fishing is like. It's not a seine boat. It's still too difficult to catch them all." Zhou Sheng said.
Some were sold to them by Gao He (Dongjiang Fishery), and some were on Gao He and Zhao Bo's ship.
The frozen ship that Wang Peng contacted before was fully loaded with tuna. Among them, the higher quality tuna was almost 200 tons. There were also more than 100 tons of slightly inferior tuna... a total of more than 300 tons of tuna.
"Then let's go back to Phalanx. There are a lot of tuna there, so we'll go back to collect the fish," Lin Xinhai said.
If you take it back home, it will be more than one million, or even two million.
"Not much." Zhou Sheng said, "It shouldn't be much."
Big Eyes are distributed in tropical and temperate sea areas around the world (between 40° north and south latitudes), with the central dense area in the sea near the equator.
"receive."
The nanny came over and stopped directly in the center of the Phalanx, acting as driftwood.
"exist."
"Nothing. Lu Lu and Zhang Hang are looking for a Chinese captain. Do you know anyone reliable? Can you help introduce one?" Chen Yuan said.
The fish that the nanny sent back to China have been sold out, totaling 18.79 million yuan.
Chen Yuan said 'hmm' and said, "Okay, let's go back."
Chen Yuan and the others were not far from Lin Xinhai, so they cruised back with twin engines. On the way, Chen Yuan contacted Zhou Jianguo: "Old cousin Jianguo."
"Yellowfin tuna, there are also a lot of bigeyes."
Bonito, 7.73 million yuan. Ordinary tuna, 7.24 million yuan. Then there are high-quality tuna, swordfish, marlin, etc.
Lin Xinhai said: "There is not much tuna."
In the summer in China, the number of big-eyes in the Gilbert Islands is relatively small, but they will gather in groups. Whether the big-eyes will gather in groups mainly depends on the water temperature. If the water temperature is suitable, the big-eyes will gather in groups.
In the Gilbert Islands, the most common time for bigeyes is October.
"Where's Chen Yuan?"
"Okay. Lao Qian, are you here?" Chen Yuan asked.
That boat has also returned to China, and Wang Peng is processing the fish. The fish from this boat are the most valuable...
"Are there many tuna in the mixed fish school?" Gao asked.
"The treatment is discussed separately, but it is definitely better than the treatment at Dongjiang Fishery. If we can find a group of reliable crew members, I think we can directly negotiate for dividends. There is no point in taking dead wages, just ask for dividends... and Lu Lu is a local, and his
The fishing boat has a lot of maneuvering space." Chen Yuandao.
"It's about a hundred pounds, that's not bad." Zhou Sheng said.
Lin Xinhai and the others returned to Phalanx. The distance was very far and they had to travel for more than ten hours.
"But his ship doesn't have cryogenic temperatures."
"During the fishing moratorium, he will install freezing chambers and ultra-low temperatures. I heard from him that the equipment has been delivered to Fiji."
The one with certain industrial capabilities in this area is probably Fiji. The area nearby is several thousand kilometers away. Kiribati also has shipyards, but they are only ship repair plants. If you want to install ultra-low temperature equipment, it is more reliable to go to a larger shipyard.
