Most of the local fishermen in East Timor have no culture. Their consciousness is to eat from the sea like Korean peacocks. In this way, the poor fishermen only need to eat all the seafood they catch, as long as they can exchange it for money.
Yes, they want them all.
In their consciousness, there is no awareness of marine protection, fishery protection, and sustainable development. This is the same as the domestic fishermen in the 1950s and 1960s.
This level of fishing will cause irreparable damage to offshore fisheries within a few years.
Of course, it is also fortunate that the local fishermen's skills are not good enough. This is not only because of the people's incompetence, but more importantly, because of the incompetence of the boats and machines. The range of fishing that they can do is limited. Otherwise, like the domestic offshore fisheries, this place will probably fall into ruin.
The catchable dilemma.
However, the offshore resources here have now been heavily fished, such as prawns, lobsters, and sea crabs, which can be easily caught by local fishermen.
Lobsters can be caught, and sea crabs sometimes come ashore. These are too easy to catch, so local fishermen still cause serious damage to the ecological environment of shallow sea areas.
Fortunately, the living standard here is very primitive, otherwise Han Kongque would even suspect that the sea water here would not be so clean, and it should be seriously polluted.
It is because of this situation that the fish in the deep water area are very abundant, while the seafood in the shallow water area is very poor.
In this way, the Korean peacock quickly patrolled the seabed for half an hour and saw countless groupers and other deep-sea fish, but did not find a few lobsters. There were not many shrimps and crabs. The Korean peacock only caught a few symbolically.
As we go deeper into the ocean, more Korean peacocks are discovered, and some large fish also appear, such as sharks, swordfish, swordfish, and even tuna. Korean peacocks have all discovered their traces.
It's just that these large fish are either difficult to deal with or too fast, so the Korean peacock didn't even think about catching them.
Among them, Korean peacocks are the most greedy for tuna. The current quantity of this item is really too small. Therefore, a few are always very expensive.
I heard that Japan has recently developed breeding technology. However, the growth time of this thing is too long, and it has to constantly eat various marine fish while growing. The cost will definitely not be low, so even if it can be cultured on a large scale, the price will be certain.
Can't get down.
Southeast Asia is a natural fishing ground for tuna, and there are abundant tuna resources here.
Korean Peacock is not very clear about how much tuna there are in East Timor, but he is very clear about the tuna resources in Indonesia.
The tuna industry brings Indonesia $536.4 million in revenue every year, with a catch of about 613,577 tons. This amount is enough to show how many tuna resources there are in the waters around this country.
East Timor is located in Indonesia, and many waters within Indonesia are around East Timor, so the East Timor fishery and the Indonesian fishery must have something in common.
Although East Timor's exclusive economic zone is much smaller than that of Indonesia, no matter how small it is, the potential here cannot be ignored.
But in recent years, people have been crazy about tuna fishing, and the tuna industry in Indonesia has also been threatened, but in East Timor, it has not been much threatened.
Of course, since tuna does not stay in a fixed sea area, there is more fishing in Indonesia, and there is more tuna in East Timor. Even the tuna in the Indian Ocean will decrease, but after all, East Timor is not a major fishing area, so the tuna here
As a group, the threats received are relatively small.
The situation is different in Indonesia. Although Indonesia is located in the world's two major tuna-producing areas - the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, which provides convenient resource and trade advantages for the Indonesian tuna industry, the Indonesian tuna industry still needs to face many challenges.
For example, catches have declined, tuna sizes have become smaller, and it has become increasingly difficult to trace tuna on the high seas, but these problems are also problems that other tuna fishing countries need to face.
In addition to the above problems, albacore, yellowfin, bigeye and bluefin tuna species have reached alarming levels. Only skipjack tuna is now relatively abundant.
In order to cope with these challenges, Indonesia has introduced relatively stringent fishing laws in recent years.
However, the crazy economic benefits still cannot stop some illegal fishing activities, and even the Indonesian government relies on this to generate tax revenue from exports.
In 2011, Indonesia's tuna export volume increased by 16% to 141,800 tons, and the export value increased by 30.1% to US$499 million. The main exporting countries were Japan and the United States.
Since 2009, Indonesian tuna exports have increased year by year, with exports of US$352 million in 2009 and US$383 million in 2010.
Therefore, Indonesia’s Ministry of Marine Fisheries will continue to expand overseas markets, promote tuna exports, and increase foreign exchange earnings.
Indonesia is rich in marine fishery resources. In 2011, the production of tuna, tuna and herring was 955,500 tons, including 0.06 million tons of tuna. It is one of the world's major tuna exporters.
Indonesia has a vast sea area and a tropical climate suitable for the growth of various fish, which makes Indonesia extremely rich in fishery resources.
Bagan Sibia on the east coast of Sumatra is a world-famous large fishing ground, which also includes the Timor Sea, because this sea area is covered.
In this fishing ground, the species that can be caught include tuna, carp, squid, shellfish and other fish, as well as shrimp, seaweed, etc.
Therefore, it is not surprising to find tuna, especially bonito, in the waters near East Timor. After all, the number of bonito is too abundant compared to other types of tuna.
And this is definitely worthy of attention, so Han Peacock tracked a huge school of bonito for a while, and finally gave up after being unable to catch up.
The tuna was too fast for Han Peacock to catch up, so he had no choice but to give up, but Han Peacock caught some other things.
The tools Han Kongque brought with him were too primitive, so no matter how many good things he found, he couldn't bring them all ashore.
Even if a woven bag is fully filled, it can't hold much, so Han Peacock just selected some with higher economic value and captured some.
We caught four or five prawns, lobsters, and sea crabs, and the others were all groupers weighing about three kilograms.
When he felt that there were thirty groupers, Han Kongque stopped, hoping that the local migrant workers outside had not left yet, so that he could sell these fish at a good price.
Coming out of the water, I looked at the reef I just jumped off. The water here was deep, so Han Peacock chose to jump off from here just now, but now it is impossible to climb up from here.
There was no other way, so Peacock Han could only choose another place to go ashore, and other places were obviously difficult to walk to, especially in shallow water areas. Without the buoyancy of the sea water, Peacock Han had to carry his big bag.
I don’t know what the big plastic woven bag was originally used for. Now it has been filled with various kinds of seafood, so it has become a bit bloated.
Han Peacock carried it carefully, fearing that if he accidentally broke the woven bag, he would not be able to take away the harvest of this hour.
Choosing a deserted place and carefully walking ashore, Han Peacock walked quickly towards the basketball court of the power plant.
When Han Peacock came back to the basketball court, the local migrant workers had not dispersed yet, which made Han Peacock breathe a sigh of relief.
"Fish is on sale, grouper, one dollar a piece." Han Peacock shouted in his somewhat awkward Tetun dialect.
When he shouted, the people who were gathered together to talk were immediately attracted.
"One dollar?" A big man came over. Han Kongque knew at a glance that he was the local aboriginal. They were also yellow people, but slightly darker than those in China, and they looked a lot like Ah San.
"A three-pound grouper costs only one dollar." These words of Detun and Han Peacock had already been thought of, so it was not difficult to say it.
"Not Red Snapper?" Another man came over. He was very young and looked to be in his twenties.
Han Peacock was stunned. The fishermen here mainly fished red fish, but red fish is not cheap. It costs almost 140 or 50 yuan per pound. Can these people afford it?
"Grouper only costs one dollar?" Upon hearing that there was a fish seller here, a large group of people immediately gathered around him.
"It's really a grouper."
“Still fresh.”
The words these people spoke were relatively brief, and it was not difficult for people like Han Kongque, who had a superb memory, so he could understand them even if they spoke too fast.
Seeing all these people gathered around and talking, but no one bought it, Han Kongque became anxious. Could it be that his price was too high?
A three-pound grouper only costs one dollar, less than seven yuan. This is already a bargain, right?
"Haha, it's Xiao Han! Where did you get so many groupers right now?" Just when Han Peacock raised his head, Lao Wang's voice sounded.
"Haha, I happened to find an abandoned fishing net on the beach over there. I didn't expect that when I cast the net, I caught so many fish, and they were all groupers. I thought I had encountered a grouper group.
." Han Peacock laughed.
"Why, do you want to sell it? It's not cost-effective to sell it here!" Lao Wang squatted down and wanted to see these fish.
At this moment, his hand had just been placed on a four-pound grouper. Unexpectedly, the grouper woke up and slammed its tail hard, hitting Lao Wang's hand directly.
, which shocked Lao Wang.
"Be careful!" Han Peacock held down the fish, fearing that it would jump to the ground and it would be difficult to sell if it caught it.
"Ah! I didn't expect this grouper to be alive. Shana, do you want such cheap seafood? If you don't want it, I'll take it all." Lao Wang turned around and said to a local next to Han Kongque.
