In fact, this is related to the habits of hairtail. Hairtail is a deep-water fish and generally does not enter the upper layer of the seawater to hunt. It is because of this group of squid that the Korean peacock can encounter such a huge school of fish in the upper layer of the seawater.
Now that they have encountered it, Han Peacock naturally doesn't want to let it go. As long as there is a quantity, it doesn't matter even if the price of hairtail is low.
As soon as he thought of it, Han Peacock immediately began to adjust the fishing boat, then began to cast the net, tow it, and slowly close the net.
"It looks like we'll be busy for a long time again this time." Looking at a net of ten thousand kilograms of hairtail coming out of the water, Han Peacock could only smile bitterly and get ready to start work.
Hairtail is a fish that lives in the middle and lower layers of the ocean. Although hairtail can hunt in the upper layers of the water, which shows that it can adjust its tolerance to pressure, when the net leaves the water, the pressure in the air is too small and it is likely to fall.
The fish cannot withstand this pressure, causing fatal internal injuries to the fish, such as the sudden expansion of the swim bladder leading to rupture.
Therefore, except for marine researchers, it is generally impossible to see live hairtails.
Han Peacock controlled the fishing boat and slowed down as much as possible to prevent the fishing net from coming out of the water all at once.
This allows the hairtail to adapt to the changes in pressure a little, and allows them to live for a longer period of time, which also gives them time to process.
After an hour, a net of hairtail was slowly poured into the fish tank on the deck under the control of Han Peacock.
The fish troughs are arranged one after another, each one is four to five meters long and sixty to seventy centimeters wide. Such fish troughs will be filled up as soon as the fishing net is released.
When all the fish were put into the fish tank, Han Peacock did not deal with the hairtails, but cast the net again and fished against the hairtail school again.
In this way, Han Peacock chased the fish and lowered five nets. He caught more than 50,000 kilograms of hairtail before stopping. These were twenty-five tons.
With these twenty-five tons of hairtail, the Korean peacock can now return to its voyage. Although the economic benefits are not great, the harvest is already considerable.
Seeing that the entire complaint was being filled, some of the fish tanks were even filled with hairtails, squeezing out all the seawater originally in the fish tanks. These hairtails were motionless and were obviously dead.
Han Peacock made five nets in succession. More than three hours had passed. Even the hairtail with the strongest vitality was completely dead at this time.
Han Peacock was afraid that the dead hairtails would go bad, so after stopping the fishing boat, he immediately started to process the hairtails.
There is an advantage to having the hairtail dead at this time, but it is easier to handle.
Han Peacock is very fast. He only needs to pick out the hairtail fish one by one from the fish tank, stack them neatly, put them on the conveyor belt, and transfer them directly to the icehouse.
There are only 20,000 hairtail fish weighing more than 50,000 kilograms. With the speed of Han Peacock, it is not too slow to handle.
At this time, Han Peacock observed the underwater group of hairtails, and he found that the group of hairtails had not become much smaller. Even after catching more than 20,000 hairtails, Han Peacock found that the underwater group of hairtails was still so huge.
Within the range of the Korean peacock's perception, there were all hairtails under the water. Such a spectacular sight made the Korean peacock want to lower the net and catch tens of thousands more kilograms.
It can also be seen from here that this school of hairtail is really huge, and its number should exceed 100,000.
Han Peacock has never caught fish before. So he doesn’t know whether this fish school is big or small. But judging from the harvest of some large fishing boats, maybe this fish school of more than 100,000 is not that big. Otherwise, it can only take a day or two.
How did a fishing boat catch dozens of tons of fish?
Resisting the temptation in his heart, Han Peacock turned his head and quickly dealt with the hairtail on the boat.
These hairtails are all about the same size, the shortest one is only **10 centimeters long, and the long one is 1.45 meters. It can be said that the quality of this batch of hairtail fish is very good, and they should be able to sell for a good price.
Twenty-five tons, even if the price per ton is US$10,000, it can still generate an income of US$250,000.
It only takes four or five hours to earn this kind of income. This kind of income is quite objective. I carefully recorded the coordinates of this sea area. These hairtails seem to be wandering around here. Maybe he can bring people to fish in large quantities in the future.
.
Between twenty and thirty thousand hairtails, even a Korean peacock would be almost paralyzed from exhaustion after processing them.
Therefore, the most tiring job on a fishing boat is sorting the various harvests.
It took two hours to put all the harvest in the icehouse, and Han Peacock did not intend to catch any more fish.
I processed a hairtail fish, fried it in oil, and the Korean peacock swallowed it whole.
Although the fishy smell of hairtail is relatively strong, this kind of fresh hairtail still tastes very tender and has a very good taste.
After eating and drinking enough, Han Peacock lay on the bed, feeling the trawler rocking with the waves, and fell into a dream.
The trawler had anchored anyway, so he wasn't afraid of an accident.
I don't know how much time passed before Han Peacock woke up. At this time, it was already dark outside.
I looked at my phone and saw that only four hours had passed and it was now noon.
Feeling a little hungry, Han Kongque didn't want to eat fried hairtail anymore, so he planned to make something delicious, and the easiest thing to make, naturally lobster was the first choice.
There must be a lot of lobsters in this sea area, but lobsters live on the bottom of the sea. Han Peacock plans to go into the water to catch some.
The waters where lobsters live are relatively shallow, but the water in this area is too deep. Han Peacock planned to sail towards Huihui and stop for lunch when he found the lobster habitat.
After carefully checking the surrounding sea charts and calculating how long it would take to reach the waters rich in lobsters, Han Peacock launched his trawler and prepared to leave.
"Huh? The coordinates are actually wrong?" Han Kongque looked at Daohang on the boat. He clearly remembered that the coordinates were not the same yesterday. Could it be that he slept and the trawler drifted away on its own?
You know, Han Peacock has anchored, so how can the fishing boat be towed?
Having doubts, Han Peacock did not start the fishing boat, but stepped onto the deck again.
After carefully checking the surrounding environment, Han Peacock was able to confirm that the position of the trawler had indeed changed.
Feeling the gradually increasing waves, Han Kongque knew that the waves should be pushing the fishing boat to move.
"How could he move so far in just a few hours?" Han Kongque got up and returned to the cockpit, opened his notebook, and checked the weather map for this morning.
"Is it because of the strong wind?" Han Kongque saw that there was a strong wind of level 7 or 8 in the morning, but he did not feel it because he was asleep. Anyway, the trawler was shaking even if there was no wind.
After finding the reason, Han Kongque no longer cared. He was really hungry, so he should leave quickly!
Although he would not be afraid of wandering alone on the sea, it would be too lonely, with no one to talk to. This was the first time Han Kongque had encountered such a thing.
Just as he was about to restart the fishing boat, Han Peacock stopped again.
"Still wrong? Wasn't the trawler moving too fast after lifting anchor?" Han Peacock ran out of the cabin again and looked at the fishing boat. Sure enough, the trawler was moving fast.
"How could this happen?" Han Peacock immediately released his magical power, trying to sense whether there was something under the water dragging the fishing boat to move.
"There's nothing underwater?" Han Peacock wiped the cold sweat from his head. The slightest abnormality on this vast ocean would make people particularly scared.
"It's only possible that the ocean currents are moving the fishing boats." Han Peacock said to himself as he looked at the waves rising in the ocean.
"The power of this ocean current is not small. A five-hundred-ton trawler can actually move so fast." Han Peacock looked at the sea and sneered.
Just now he was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. Now that he thought about it, he felt very ridiculous. Instead of being afraid of the dark seabed, he was afraid of the fishing boat moving on its own.
"Huh? These hairtail fish haven't left yet? Isn't that weird?" Just when Han Peacock wanted to take back his magical power and leave the sea, he discovered something strange again.
This morning he set the net five times in this area and caught dozens of tons of large schools of hairtail, but they are still there.
I carefully inspected the group of hairtail fish and found that the number was still very large. I didn’t see many small fish. The squids around were still densely packed in groups.
This should be the large school of hairtail that the Korean peacock was chasing this morning.
"Is there a lot of food here? But these squids are too stupid, why don't they run away?" Han Peacock started the fishing boat, but he did not leave, but was tracking the hairtail school.
Of course, Han Peacock had no intention of setting out the net to catch hairtail again. He was simply tracking the hairtail.
While observing the group of hairtails, Han Peacock fried another hairtail and ate it. He wouldn't leave for a while anyway, so he would just eat a little to deal with it.
After tracking the hairtail school for an hour, Han Peacock finally found it.
This school of fish always moves within a radius of two to three kilometers, so the Korean peacock will encounter this school of fish again.
"Could it be the undercurrent of the ocean?" Han Peacock quickly thought of a possibility.
Trawlers can move with ocean currents, but the hairtail here always moves within such a small range, so it is easy for Han Peacock to think of ocean undercurrents.
Ocean undercurrents are very common, and it is not difficult to form them. As long as there are caves on the seabed, and under certain conditions, the water ejected from the caves can be formed. However, generally the speed of ocean undercurrents is extremely fast, reaching 240km/h, forming
water flow barrier.
As a result, marine animals with small bodies cannot pass through this barrier.
Many countries now use undercurrents to raise fish in captivity, trapping the fish in an area and bringing seafloor microorganisms to the surface to fill their bellies, saving money and time.
Some marine animals that migrate long distances will also use undercurrents to migrate to distant places, temporarily escaping human hunting and reproducing their offspring.
Therefore, the undercurrent effect drives economic development and protects marine life from extinction. (To be continued.)
