In more than half an hour, Chen Yuan and the others picked up more than twenty conches, two giant clams, five lobsters, several groupers, and several snappers.
The net bag they brought out couldn't fit anymore. Chen Yuan and the others returned to the fishing boat and raised conches and giant clams. Other seafood was put into the freezer...
The sea is rich in resources, so the two went out to dive for more than an hour, specializing in catching lobsters and conches.
It was almost noon when we returned to the fishing area.
Big Fish and Gao He's fishing boats are recovering fish hooks.
Take that short rope...
"Chen Yuan, Chen Yuan." A congratulatory voice came from the radio.
"What are you doing?" Chen Yuan came to the cabin and turned on the microphone.
One hundred tons of tuna, that’s 2,000 tuna.
In nineteen days, the fishing season ends.
Gao He really wanted to keep these tuna, since his fishing boat was going back to China anyway...
It takes ten days to fill the cabin with tuna, which is very difficult.
"That's enough, that's enough." Gao He said with a smile.
"That's better than boiling it."
"I know, I know... you said it once." Gao He sighed and said, "In the last ten days, you have to work harder. It is best to fill my ultra-low temperature fish cabin."
The Big Fish works quickly and catches more tuna.
"It's almost the same here." Lin Xinhai said with a smile: "It's another good harvest today."
"Don't be dissatisfied. If you are lucky today, you can catch more than three hundred tuna." Lin Xinhai said.
No way, how many people are there in the entire Gilbert?
"There are 18 large lobsters, all weighing more than two kilograms. There are also conch, giant clam, grouper, snapper..." Chen Yuan said: "Is it enough for dinner?"
Chen Yuan said ‘hmm’.
Tuna here come in all sizes.
But the Phoenix Islands are so remote that it is not easy to go there.
11 tuna out of 500 hooks, which is pretty good.
To be honest, it is not easy for Chen Yuan to go out to find fish.
"17 lobsters, all weighing more than two kilograms?" Lin Xinhai asked.
If tuna were so easy to catch, wouldn't all the fishing boats in the Gilbert Islands be rich?
Chen Yuan was still chatting in the cockpit, while Zhou Sheng finished cooking and shouted: "It's time to eat."
There was also Chen Yuan and his friends who had been working there for more than ten days with four fishing boats on the east seafloor. On average, each boat caught a hundred or dozens of tuna every day.
On average, the average weight of locally caught yellowfin tuna is about 135 kilograms.
Gao He chuckled and said, "Then make a fortune."
"Let's eat, let's talk later." Chen Yuan said on the radio channel.
"Is this what you want for lunch?" Chen Yuan sat on the sofa and looked at Zhou Sheng.
At the mark where they were now, when the fish gathered two days ago, there were estimated to be two thousand fish.
I heard Ruby talk about the resources of the Phoenix Islands.
"You are too pretentious."
"But the tuna here are not particularly big. There are 11 tuna... only 2 of them weigh more than 200 kilograms, one yellowfin tuna and one big-eye tuna. The rest are very average," Gao He said.
.
How can there be so much tuna...
I have cooked white rice and two large lobsters and are dipping them in water.
Chen Yuan smiled and said "hmm" and scratched his head.
"Okay, let's eat."
It turned out to be a giant flower dragon, but now it has turned into a red shell.
"Rice bucket." Chen Yuan raised his middle finger, stood up and brought a plate over, then kicked out all the lobster meat and brains...
After processing the maw and gills, that tuna weighed 135 kilograms... about a hundred kilograms.
Compared with some major lobster producing areas, there are not many lobsters here. But compared with domestic waters, there are too many lobsters here.
"How's the fish catch?" Chen Yuan asked.
"What?" Zhou Sheng looked at Chen Yuan.
"The lobsters here...are okay." Lin Xinhai wanted to say that there are so many lobsters here.
Zhou Sheng is cooking.
"I'll make fried rice."
The Phoenix Islands not only have a lot of lobsters, but also a lot of giant clams.
There are a lot of tuna in this fish school, and the tuna from a large area of the sea have come here. After that, there should be not many tuna in some marking points.
The lobster was thicker than your wrist and had snow-white meat inside. Zhou Sheng took it and dipped it in the sauce, then took a big bite.
Chen Yuan came to the living room and saw two large lobsters on the table...
Within ten days, more than 300 tons of tuna were shipped back to China.
This area is now dominated by yellowfin tuna, followed by bigeye. There are very few albacore tuna now.
But these have been agreed upon a long time ago. If they had not agreed to these, why would Chen Yuan and the others have asked Gao He to follow them.
"Three or four kilograms of lobster, what else do you want?" Zhou Sheng picked up one and broke it open. There was still soup flowing out...
Two thousand yellowfin tuna is not a lot.
"What are you going to do?"
The dipping sauce is soy sauce, minced garlic, and some minced green onions.
The Phoenix Islands are a protected area and an archipelago sea area, so they are rich in resources. Speaking of lobsters, you can see lobsters gathering in some lagoons.
"Freshly cooked rice doesn't taste good when made into fried rice."
The short rope, 70,000 meters, should be about 6,500 fishhooks.
If you want to say there are more lobsters, it has to be the Phoenix Islands.
"Did you get any good stuff?"
"I'm eating too," Lin Xinhai said.
"Work harder in the future," Lin Xinhai said.
Takaga's ultra-low temperature fish tank is more than 100 cubic meters in size and can hold nearly 100 tons of tuna without any problem.
Chen Yuan laughed a few times.
There are not many sea areas where large schools of tuna gather. It only took ten days to catch one hundred tons of tuna...and it was a longline fishing boat, so it was not easy.
Commercial fishing is prohibited in the Phoenix Islands, but if you travel there, you can only hunt some seafood for your own consumption.
"It's not like I want to eat too much..." Chen Yuan said.
Dabai was cruising at a high speed of 44 knots per hour... 18 points were visited, and only 2 points could be hooked. As for the fish here, it was completely luck.
The location of Nono Atoll... is quite far from Nantawara, and commercial fishing is limited.
"We have agreed that after our freezing ship arrives, the fish will be loaded onto our ship first... and you will catch the rest and transport it back yourself," Lin Xinhai said.
"You are being hypocritical. If you don't eat, I can eat two."
"Have nothing to do and cook a good meal."
Chen Yuan ignored Zhou Sheng and went to get the wok...
"I just started collecting fishhooks... I collected about 500 fishhooks, and I caught 11 tuna." Gao congratulated: "It's pretty good."
There are not many lobsters in Nono Atoll, but not too few. This is an inhabited atoll after all...
The rice cooked by Zhou Sheng is usually hard, and even freshly cooked rice is suitable for making fried rice.
After spending a long time at sea, Chen Yuan really didn't like eating boiled seafood.
One large lobster, half a pot of rice... Saute the lobster meat until fragrant, add the rice and continue to stir-fry, finally add some green onions, chili noodles, Sichuan pepper noodles, and salt.
As soon as it was done, Zhou Sheng came over with a basin and filled most of the basin with a smile: "It smells good, it smells really good."
