The ocean current map that Zhou Jianguo landed on before is the website of the United States.
The information on free prostitution and the real-time information on tariffs obtained through ocean satellites are not on the same level.
Marine satellites do not directly see fish schools, but use professional sensors carried by satellites to detect sea surface temperature, seawater chlorophyll concentration, sea surface flow field, sea surface height and other fish living environments, and establish fishery environmental factors through fishery forecast models.
The relationship with the probability of fishing conditions.
Seeing the Yankee helicopter approaching, there is a high probability that there are fish schools in the sea area where Chen Yuan and the others are.
A few minutes later, the helicopter arrived near their fishing boat and lowered its height... A bearded man in the co-pilot seat smiled and greeted Chen Yuan and the others.
Zhou Jianguo also had a bright smile on his face, waved his hands and said hello a few times. He felt like he was selling his skin.
The helicopter landed and Zhou Sheng also stopped the boat.
Zhou Jianguo started talking to the other party. The bearded man looked very friendly and pointed in the direction of nine o'clock...
"What are we talking about?" Chen Yuan saw the helicopter start up again, come down from the top of the ship, and come to Zhou Jianguo's side.
"Let's go over and have a look." Chen Yuanda said as he watched the drone fly away.
Zhou Jianguo also waved.
"Continue going north tomorrow. If you don't find anything, forget it and stop looking." Chen Yuan lit a cigarette for Zhou Jianguo: "We are going to Varuatu soon. If we have time, let's study the waters of Varuatu."
"Then what did the Yankee just say?" Zhou Sheng started the fishing boat and asked.
Sold to canneries, it costs three to four thousand US dollars per ton. Sold on land, that is, with slightly better quality, it costs six to seven thousand US dollars per ton.
"We can also find this position in ten minutes. Theirs is a seine boat and they can't rob us." Zhou Jianguo said: "After all, they robbed a school of fish from us before, but now this position..."
The yellowfin tuna over there is relatively small and lean. It is usually a Chinese super tuna product and the price is very cheap.
Ten minutes later, dense biological signals appeared on the remote sensing fish detector.
"You know him?"
Chen Yuan reported the location to Luo Hao and said: "This area is very large, and two or three boats can set hooks at the same time."
Chen Yuan and Zhou Jianguo looked at the oil gauge of the fishing boat, studied the charts, and planned tomorrow's route.
"Okay, I'll make arrangements."
Tuna, quality determines the price.
How to describe the number of yellowfin tuna in the Indian Ocean?
Chen Yuan dialed Luo Hao's phone: "Lao Luo, I want to ask if the fishing hooks of Dayuhao and Gao Laogao have been collected."
Zhao Hai, Xu San and Liu Si were either placing the fishhook or retracting the fishhook.
This American guy had 'robbed' a school of fish from Chen Yuan and the others before. He robbed...
It was getting dark, so Chen Yuan and the others drove the boat and continued running for more than two hours until after nine o'clock in the evening, when they were ready to rest.
There are a lot of fish in total, but they are very scattered.
Kiribati and Tuvalu, these countries do not have large land masses, but the tuna in these countries are quite large and can be sold at a good price.
This is still the excess of quotas for Spanish fishing boats.
You could say it was snatched away.
"What about the Americans?" Chen Yuan looked at Zhou Jianguo.
Zhou Jianguo nodded: "There are many small tuna there, just like those in the eastern Indian Ocean."
Big Fish and Gao Laogao caught a lot of fish. The two fishing boats together had nearly 500 large-sized yellowfin tuna.
Zhou Jianguo nodded, took the drone back, removed the remote sensor and installed it on the bow of the ship.
Luo Hao waited for Gao He to collect the fishhook, and then moved to Lin Xinhai, Gao He and Qian Degui.
"McForth Fishery Company and our company also cooperate to share real-time ocean current maps." Zhou Jianguo said: "I don't know them, but Luo Hao must know them."
Qian Degui and his fishing boat were already on their way over. Luo Hao asked Gao He when he would finish collecting the fishhook...
According to a report released by the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC), in 2018, the yellowfin tuna fishing output of Spanish fishing vessels in the Indian Ocean was 30% higher than the fishing limit, and the actual fishing volume was more than 13,000 tons more than the reported output.
This is a sea area where ocean currents meet, forming a large eddy. Judging from the fish detector, there are quite a lot of fish...
More than 13,000 tons...
Now that there are more boats, the burden on Chen Yuan and the others is also heavier. Chen Yuan definitely wants to find more good spots so that everyone can catch a good fish, but the external conditions are really limited.
Chen Yuan told Luo Hao the details. The number of tuna was probably more than three hundred. This is just a rough estimate, it can only be a lot more. If it is more, it can be more than double.
While they were waiting to set up the fish aggregator, Chen Yuan and his friends had already finished setting the hooks when their fishing boat came over. After all, it was Chen Yuan and his friends who discovered the previous fish school first, and the Americans occupied the position of the fishing boat and rushed over to set up the seine net first.
"His name is John, an employee of Mike Force Fishery Company... He just said that there are more fish in the direction from nine to ten o'clock." Zhou Jianguo shrugged.
"The hooks of the Big Fish have been collected, and there are still more than 10,000 meters of rope on Lao Gao's side."
Chen Yuan began to investigate the fish situation.
In such a position, the seine boat must place a fish collector after it arrives, and wait for the fish to gather before releasing the net. However, the longline fishing boat can place the fishhook as soon as it arrives, without waiting.
Chen Yuan and the others discovered the previous school of fish first. The Yankees were a few minutes late...but their fishing boat was closer.
There are a lot of tuna in the Indian Ocean, and seine boats usually net hundreds, hundreds, or even thousands of tons in one go. But the quality of tuna there is relatively poor...
After four o'clock, Chen Yuan and the others left the fish school and continued their search in the northeast direction.
If there is a good spot, then you must give priority to your own fishing boat. In the past few days, Qian Degui and his four fishing boats have had average harvests, no debts, and only a small profit.
"He said there are more fish in the direction of nine-thirty." Zhou Jianguo shrugged.
Yang Xun and the others were working the night shift and had already gotten up and started preparing dinner.
The helicopter took off, John looked at them, smiled and waved.
Zhou Jianguo nodded: "I've been to Varuatu. There are quite a lot of tuna, as well as marlin."
"Location."
"I heard that there are more small tuna in Varuatu, Solomon Islands and Babu." Chen Yuan asked.
"There is a big discovery." Chen Yuandao said: "There are a lot of fish, at least two hundred tons."
Chen Yuan turned on the radio frequency microphone: "Hey, Lao Luo, are you sleeping?"
The upper layer is a mixed fish school of bonito, and below there are tuna, sharks and the like.
Varuatu and the two northern countries have large islands and richer marine resources, but they gather a large number of small tuna.
Returning to the cabin, Zhou Jianguo said: "Direction at half past nine."
Fishing boats fishing in the same sea area usually have a relationship of competition and cooperation. Even if the relationship between two countries is not good, among the people, it is normal to have cooperation to make money.
Chen Yuan smiled and nodded, feeling a little more comfortable.
"Getting ready to go to bed."
"Did all the Dongjiang fishing fleet go to Varuatu?"
"No, they passed three longline fishing boats and two purse seine boats to the Marshall Islands..." Luo Hao said: "Our fleet is queuing up and will not be able to go to the Marshall Islands and other atoll island countries until November. That
The time period is also pretty good and you can catch bluefin tuna.”
Atoll and archipelago countries do not have a large land area, and they all belong to the open sea area. The fishery density in the exclusive marine economic zone is not high, but it is easy to fish, it is easy to gather in groups, and there are many large tuna. Deep sea waters are almost all
So. This is also the favorite place for seine boats and longline fishing boats. It’s easy to get rich...
