The first thousand three hundred and ninety-one chapters large yellow croaker
Tiger head fish has been selling well recently. Korean peacocks are no strangers to the red tiger head fish. Korean peacocks have spent some time on Peacock Island and often go to seafood stalls. Naturally, they are also familiar with tiger head fish. This kind of fish has tight meat.
If it is solid, add some tofu and it will be very delicious when braised in braised sauce.
Like hairy crabs, pomfret is plumper in mid-to-late October. Many fishermen love to eat tiger fish, so tiger fish are the most difficult to get in farmers’ markets and are also the first species to be snapped up by housewives.
Tiger head fish is the same as small yellow croaker, both are wild, the price is about the same, and the size is not big. Many people don't know how to cook this fish at first. In fact, it tastes very fresh. It can be braised in braise or made into tofu soup like crucian carp.
After eating it several times, Han Kongque knew that there is a little trick to making braised tofu fish. Adding a little vinegar to enhance the freshness will make it taste better.
"After all the calculations, catching large yellow croaker is the most cost-effective. Even if it costs 500 yuan per catty, it is almost 80 US dollars per catty." Han Kongque looked at the fish detector and said,
The large yellow croaker is also known as "yellow croaker" and "cucumber fish". Its meat is tender and tender, high in protein and low in cholesterol. It is also covered in a "golden coat", which means auspiciousness, so it has become a frequent visitor at the dinner table.
Now in the domestic market, the wild ones are almost extinct, and the ones sold in the market are basically naturally farmed ones, so the large yellow croaker imported from abroad sells the best, that is, around the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Spring Festival, Chinese people like to eat cucumber fish.
It can be sold for at least sixty or seventy tons.
Seeing this price and the huge market, Han Peacock was immediately moved. If he catches tens of thousands of catties, it will be hundreds of thousands of dollars! If it is slightly more, it will be millions of dollars.
Calculated this way, the harvest from catching large yellow croaker is definitely no worse than catching abalone.
Of course, schools of large yellow croaker are not that easy to find. Compared to the vast ocean, there are very few fish schools in the sea, and among these very few, only a very small number are large yellow croaker schools.
Therefore, it is not easy to track large yellow croaker schools in the ocean. Otherwise, all fishing companies would make a fortune.
Since you plan to catch large yellow croaker, you need to plan carefully. The large yellow croaker is a pelagic fish that is over 60 meters tall. If you are lucky enough, Korean peacocks may find schools of large yellow croaker within 30 meters in the sea.
So in the next period of time, Han Peacock kept using his own senses, combined with a fish finder, to look for large yellow croaker schools.
If you simply use a fish finder, you are sure to find a school of fish, but there is no way to determine whether it is a school of large yellow croaker, so Han Peacock has to use his supernatural powers to check it in person.
Of course, if there are simulated fish here and put these spy fish directly into the ocean, Korean peacocks can find all kinds of fish. This is also an important reason why the fishery of Peacock Island is developed.
But here, Han Peacock had no help, so he could only use the fish finder on the fishing boat.
There are fish finders on trawlers, so the Korean Peacock is very efficient. As long as the fish finder sounds an alarm, the Korean Peacock can sense whether there is a school of large yellow croaker underwater.
After dozens of failures, this time Han Peacock finally observed a school of large yellow croaker.
It has to be said that this sea area is very rich in seafood, and even extremely small groups of large yellow croakers are not uncommon here.
After the first discovery, the Korean peacock was soon discovered again, which can only prove that this is indeed a good fishing ground.
After marking the swimming direction and speed of the third large yellow croaker school, Han Peacock controlled the trawler and stayed in a sea area, quietly waiting for dark.
After wandering on the sea for a day, Han Kongque was also tired, especially the constant use of magical powers, which made him very tired.
After a good sleep, when the moon was dark and the wind was high, Han Kongque got up, and the temperature had dropped to 4 degrees Celsius. The sea wind blew on his face and it hurt. At this time, Han Kongque started the fishing boat again, and the sound of the motor echoed in the sea.
flat.
Han Peacock stuck his head out of the window the whole time and carefully observed the sea surface: "There is no moon and no stars tonight. It is a good time to catch large yellow croaker."
Korean peacocks wanted to catch large yellow croaker, but they had done enough homework. Large yellow croakers contain a yellow pigment that will be decomposed when exposed to light, so they must catch large yellow croakers at night.
If fished during the day, the large yellow croaker will turn white and become unpopular with others.
Every year around summer, large yellow croakers make a cry when they swarm to spawn. The female fish's cry is lower, similar to the chirping sound made when lighting a gas lamp, while the male fish's cry is higher, like a frog croaking in a pond on a summer night.
.
During the production of wooden sailboats, fishermen put their ears to the board of the boat to listen to the cries, judge the size and density of the fish school, and the depth of the fish school before fishing.
Han Peacock's perception is keen, and he also wants to hear if there are any schools of large yellow croakers passing through this sea area.
The fishing boat traveled for 20 minutes and finally found a school of fish on the fish finder. This had been observed by Han Peacock during the day. The large school of fish that often appears in this sea area is a school of yellow croaker.
Seeing the fish coming head-on, Han Peacock started to control the fishing boat according to the actions he had planned.
It is not easy to fish alone, but modern and advanced trawlers make it possible.
Han Kongque had already planned, so he knew what he should do.
Now that the fish has been tracked, it's up to him to operate the trawler.
Han Peacock's hands-on ability is very strong, so all this is not a problem for him.
I walked around the school of fish a few times and roughly calculated the size, density, and swimming direction of the large yellow croaker school.
Han Peacock calculated how to catch the fish, from which direction to lower the net, from which direction to pick it up, and how to dispose of it in the end.
After clarifying everything one by one, Han Peacock started to lower the net, fish, pick up, collect, drag, lift, lift and dump, completing the fishing operation of large yellow croaker in a series of compact steps.
Looking at the countless yellow croakers on the deck, even Han Peacock, who was used to seeing dense schools of fish, was still smiling happily from ear to ear.
According to the established plan, the net of large yellow croakers was poured into the tanks on the deck.
Standing on both sides of the water tank that was three to four meters long and five to sixty centimeters wide, Han Peacock put the empty basket he had prepared into the water tank, fished out the fish with all his strength, then pulled the baskets out of the water together, tightened the mouth of the net, and smoothly
Drag the basket full of fish to the edge of the boat in the water tank.
There is a conveyor belt here. Han Peacock poured the fish directly into the conveyor belt and then started sorting.
I don’t want the blind ones, I don’t want the big-bellied ones, I don’t want the deformed ones, and of course, I don’t want the ones that are too small.
While sorting, the unwanted ones are thrown directly into the sea. The large yellow croakers left on the conveyor belt are directly transported to the cold storage for quick freezing.
The quality of this batch of large yellow croakers is very good. Since they are naturally wild, the ones with poor quality will generally not live to this day. Therefore, those with deformities and blindness are rare. Most of the ones he selected are those with big bellies, like this
If you can't afford the price, you might as well release it into the sea.
Han Peacock had a lot of strength. He kept lifting a whole basket of fish onto the half-meter-high deck, poured it into the conveyor belt, and started sorting.
Now there is only Han Kongque on the ship, so he can only do it by himself. If there are four or five helpers on the deck, these big yellow flowers can be dealt with more quickly.
Generally, when the catch comes in, the first step is to weigh it. Two people carry wooden scales made of special bamboo tubes and carry the baskets to the scale. The other two are in front of the scale and are responsible for reporting the number on the scale.
Just like this, while recording the weight of each frame, pour the weighed fish basket directly into the foam box placed in advance on the bilge, pour in ice cubes, and seal the box directly.
The whole process was completed in less than 2 minutes, but Han Kongque obviously couldn't do it, so he could only simply sort it on the conveyor belt and put it into storage directly.
Once the large yellow croaker comes out of the sea, it will lack oxygen and will die soon. Therefore, it must be processed as soon as possible to ensure that its meat quality and freshness are optimal.
If you are a skilled fisherman, you can seal at least 10 tons of large yellow croaker in one hour.
Although Han Peacock was not skilled, the quality of the large yellow croakers he caught was good and there were very few defectives, so the processing speed was not slow. But even so, it took him more than an hour to process a net harvest.
.
In this period of more than an hour, Han Peacock handled more than a hundred baskets of yellow croakers, including some miscellaneous fish, and some that were too small and of poor quality.
In addition to these, there are still seventy or eighty baskets left, and each basket weighs forty or fifty kilograms. Therefore, with just this net, Han Peacock harvested four thousand kilograms of large yellow croaker.
Calculated at US$80 per catty, this is a gain of US$320,000.
Of course, the market price is definitely different from his landing price, but no matter how different they are, he still has a profit of millions of yuan from this network.
"I heard that China no longer imports large yellow croaker from Indonesia. I don't know if it's just farmed yellow croaker or even wild ones." Han Peacock put his head out of the boat and listened carefully to the movement on the sea.
There are still five or six hours before dawn, and Han Peacock still wants to make a few nets, so that he can gain a lot in one night.
While driving the boat, I took a rest while inferring the possible location of the large yellow croaker school according to the ocean current map drawn during the day.
In fact, some large fishing boats can do this, and they do it better and have more experience.
Most of the world's large fishing grounds are located on the offshore continental shelf and have certain conditions for their formation. The seawater in the continental shelf area is shallow, the water has sufficient sunlight, and marine plankton grows vigorously, attracting fish.
Many are affected by ocean currents, such as the Hokkaido fisheries, Newfoundland fisheries, and North Sea fisheries formed by the intersection of cold and warm currents, the Peruvian fisheries caused by upwelling, and the Benguela fisheries, etc.
River runoff is injected along the coast, bringing a large amount of nutrients, promoting the growth of plankton in the seawater, and attracting fish. (To be continued.)
