Naturally, such abalones need to be carefully rested. Once the abalone is caught, everything will not be ok. Instead, after being caught, the abalone needs to be rested in artificial seawater to allow the abalone to adapt to the low water pressure and to remove impurities from the body.
"No wonder Little Japan wants to establish a purchasing point here. The quality of this kind of abalone is definitely not inferior to Australian green abalone, and there is no fishing limit, so profits are guaranteed." Han Peacock said to himself.
The Australian government has implemented strict legal quota restrictions and supervision mechanisms for the marine fishing industry, and it is strictly prohibited to fish from the entire lake.
Taking Tasmania as an example, the annual catch allowed by the local government is 1,800 tons. The sizes of abalone allowed to be caught are different in different parts of Australia. The size of abalone allowed to be caught in the north is larger than that in the south.
The local government will, depending on the seriousness of the case, confiscate the income, impound the fishing vessel, revoke the license, or even fine the offenders who fish in excess of the prescribed amount, fish not according to size, or fish without a license, and pursue legal liability.
After Australian abalone is caught, it must first be placed in artificial seawater configured according to the proportion to rest. This is to allow the abalone to adapt to the lower water pressure, avoid damage, and survive for a few more days.
After three days, the abalones have adapted to the new environment and excreted all impurities in their bodies. The fishermen then begin to allocate the future destinations of these abalones.
Those who are strong and healthy can be made into fresh abalone and flown abroad, while those who are in poor health can be processed immediately to make chilled abalone, and the most common ones can be processed into canned abalone.
To transport fresh abalone, you must first put the live abalone into a foam box, sprinkle with ice powder and sawdust. When the abalone stays in such a "refrigerator", it requires very little oxygen, and the sawdust is very breathable.
Sex, after more than ten hours of flight, the abalone activity is still very good.
It can be said that the origin of abalone will have such a complete industrial chain to digest the caught abalone.
Therefore, although the price of abalone is not low, it is still troublesome to transport live abalone and convert it into money. Han Peacock cannot do it now. So even if he catches abalone, he has to sell it to Japanese businessmen.
Of course, the Japanese cannot now build a one-stop industrial chain like those in Australia and New Zealand, but they have a good transportation system and can transport the small quantities produced here to processing plants in Indonesia or Singapore.
.
This is something Han Kongque needs to learn, but it is not something Han Kongque can do now, so Han Kongque can only transfer the profits to others.
Finding such a big abalone means that this sea area can support the growth of such a large abalone, and it also means that there are conditions for abalone to grow so big. This means that Han Peacock made a good choice.
The abalone was so big that Han Kongque couldn't fit it in his net bag, so he slowly and carefully floated up, fearing that the abalone's internal organs would rupture and die if the water pressure suddenly changed.
By the time Han Peacock put the big abalone into a separate tank, it was already half an hour later.
Han Peacock took a rest on the fishing boat, mainly to check if there were other fishing boats around. After finding nothing, Han Peacock took out the thermos bucket and started eating lunch.
Although the lunch was very simple, Han Peacock was really hungry after working all morning, so the meal was very delicious.
After eating lunch, drinking a glass of water, and taking a short rest. When he found that there was no boat in this area, Han Peacock jumped into the sea again with confidence. If he could find a few more single-headed abalone, his plan could be implemented.
.
And this is not Han Peacock's delusion. Since a single-headed abalone can be born on the seabed just now, it means that the environment here is good enough and safe enough, which also gives other abalone a chance to grow.
So if you find one, you may find the second and third. If you find more, the purpose of the Korean peacock going to sea this time will be achieved. Thinking of this, the Korean peacock will be very motivated.
Jumping into the sea again, the Korean peacock specifically looks for places with many rocks. Abalone does not like beaches. There are usually big rocks and there are abalone in places with a lot of kelp.
Big abalone are generally found under rocks less than 1 meter. Of course, the deeper the place, the bigger and more abalone there are. In Australia and New Zealand, the law stipulates that you cannot wear oxygen bottles for deep diving equipment to catch abalone, so it is more difficult to catch abalone when diving there.
But it's different here. Because no one cares about it, Little Japan will set up a fishing company here. They not only buy abalone, but also send people into the water to catch it themselves.
Han Peacock did not need diving equipment. He dived directly into the deep water and swam under a rock. He immediately found a nest of abalones. The abalones in this nest were not big, but not small. They looked like ten abalones.
There are fewer abalones in this nest than ten abalones, so the Korean peacock can only choose the larger ones to start catching.
Han Peacock chose the largest one, directly inserted the steel drill in his hand from the joint between the abalone and the rock, and separated the abalone and the rock with one pry.
At this time, Han Peacock kept moving. He quickly pried off other abalones he had spotted. With a few consecutive moves, Han Peacock pried off four or five abalones. These abalones were the largest among the abalones in the nest.
.
At this time, although there are still two or three larger abalones in the nest, Han Peacock is not ready to take action because he has alarmed the abalones in the nest, and now these abalones are on guard.
Now that these abalones are alert, Han Peacock will naturally not take action again, not to mention the abalones that have not been attacked. Even if he did not pry them off the first time just now, Han Peacock did not pry them a second time because they were already tight.
It clings tightly to the rock. If you have time to compete with it, you might as well give up on it and catch its unwary friends.
Han Peacock guessed well. The environment in this sea area is well maintained, so underwater seaweed and other marine plants are very closed. If there are more seaweed and other functions, there will be more abalone living in this sea area.
Just after harvesting four or five ten-headed abalone, Han Peacock discovered another nest not far away. Abalones below the sea depth of 70 meters are generally quite large, and this nest is quite large, but the single-headed abalone is quite large.
Bao didn't.
Han Peacock quietly entered the village again, and launched another sneak attack without disturbing the nest of abalones. When other abalones became alert, Han Peacock slowly picked up the abalones that fell on the seabed. They were Han Peacock's trophies.
Peacock Han would not fish until all the water was available, so he just picked up a few large abalones, pried them off, cleaned them a little, and Peacock Han put the harvest into his net bag.
The water depth here reaches more than 80 meters, so the visibility is very low. This means that the Korean peacock's perception is very sensitive, so it can accurately detect the abalone in advance, and can sneak close to it. Once it gets close, it can quickly launch several sneak attacks.
Ordinary divers cannot do this kind of thing, so they have to spend more effort and energy to collect abalone.
In addition to these, another important reason that restricts ordinary divers from entering the deep sea is the weather. In the deep sea area, you can only see the surrounding situation clearly with weak sunlight. Therefore, when collecting abalone, you usually choose a time when the weather is good, the sun is strong, and it is warm.
, it’s best to go when the wind is light, so the waves are small and visibility is high.
Han Peacock has the help of spiritual consciousness, so he can find abalone without too much sunlight, and his body is directly integrated in the water. With the help of water control magical power, Han Peacock can move more smoothly underwater.
.
In this way, the Korean peacock can control the ocean currents on the seafloor to avoid causing too much noise, so that there is no need to disturb various creatures on the seafloor, and this is really beneficial for collecting abalone.
Abalone belongs to the class Gastropoda of the mollusk phylum. As the name suggests, its "abdomen" is the "foot", which is the large muscle in the part we eat, and its scientific name is "gastropod".
Abalone usually relies on its ventral feet to crawl slowly on the rocks on the seabed. Just like a snail, the adhesion of abalone's fleshy feet is quite amazing. An abalone with a shell length of 15 cm has a suction force of up to 200 kilograms.
No matter how strong winds and waves hit, the abalone cannot be lifted up. Therefore, when catching abalone, one can only take advantage of its unpreparedness and use a shovel to shovel it down or overturn it at lightning speed. Otherwise, even if it smashes its shell, there is no hope.
Take it off.
Abalones are caught in deeper seawater. Once abalones are discovered by them, they will always be in groups of more than 10.
The color of abalone shells is very beautiful, and the green inside is full of colorful light, so ashtrays and some decorations made of shells are the main products of local specialty shops.
Under water, the Korean peacock was pushed by the water flow he created and slowly swam to places with more complex terrain.
Abalone mostly live on deep-water rocks, which are mostly cliff-type places with fast currents.
When the food brought by the sea current flows past the abalone on the cliff, the abalone must ensure that the food is not swept away by the current. It must be adsorbed on the reef with a large adsorption force, that is, it needs a large suction cup area to attach to the reef.
, and the suction cup is the soft foot of the abalone. If a person wants to uncover it, he must exert a lot of effort.
The Korean peacock stretches his legs into the air, and the gravity of the legs continues to push him deeper into the seabed. Of course, the Korean peacock usually pulls the roots of the kelp to continue deeper into the seabed. This is more effective and can reach the seabed quickly.
The sea area where the Korean peacock is now is all deep water areas, and the general depth is about 70 meters. There are not many people in such places, so the abalones live in nests.
In shallow sea areas, especially at depths of about ten to twenty meters, more people can dive, and the visibility underwater is very high, so there are very few large abalones.
It is more difficult to go above 70 meters. The diving time is very limited, so not many people come down. (~^~)
