"Is there a limit to the hole diameter of your gill net? Ten fingers or twelve fingers?" Hong Tao knows a little about the specifications of gill nets. People often played with this kind of thing when he was a child. Qinghe and Shahe really existed at that time, and his grandmother's yard
There was an old man who just rode his bike over there to set a net and catch some small crucian carp. He came back and shared some with each family in the whole yard.
Whether gillnet or sticky net, if you want to catch fish, the width of the mesh is an important indicator. For example, if you want to catch small fish, buy a two-finger or three-finger sticky net. If you want to catch large fish,
For fathead or silver carp, buy a six-finger or seven-finger net.
This finger means finger, and the width of a few fingers refers to the width of the mesh, because the fishing principle of gillnet or sticky net is to lay the net on the main water surface where fish swim, and the upper ends of these nets will have several meshes at intervals.
A small float will make the upper end of the fishing net float on the water. There will also be a counterweight at the lower end of the fishing net to allow the lower end of the fishing net to sink to the bottom of the water.
In this way, the entire fishing net forms an invisible wall in the water. As long as the fish swims through here, it will accidentally get its head into the mesh of the fishing net. At this time, because most fish cannot
When swimming backwards, if something gets stuck in the head, it will struggle desperately, and as a result, the surrounding mesh will entangle it. The more it struggles, the tighter it becomes, making it almost impossible to escape.
According to this principle, the mesh becomes a yardstick for catching fish of various sizes. The larger the mesh, the larger the fish caught. So from a certain perspective, gillnets are more environmentally friendly than trawl nets and seine nets. As long as
By controlling the size of the gill net mesh, you can only catch big fish and let go of small fish.
"The minimum is 35 centimeters. If you are fishing for narrow-bodied cod, you can use 15 centimeters, but few people catch that kind of cod, and they can't sell it at a high price." Aude didn't understand the concept of several fingers, but started from
Several brightly colored plastic pieces were taken out of the tool box on the side of the boat. Each was marked with the exact size and applicable fishing type. It seemed that they used this kind of thing to measure the mesh size of the fishing net.
"How much income do you and Elke make from fishing every year?" After all three nets were lowered, Hong Tao and Ode leaned on the side of the boat, smoking cigarettes and started chatting. Elk couldn't be idle yet, these nets would have to wait.
It would take 2 hours to get up. Now he had to drive the fishing boat along the ocean current to hit the fish upstream of the net, so that as many fish as possible could swim towards the fishing net. Wang Jian also got into the helm building and talked to El.
Learn to sail a boat.
"The market for cod this year is relatively good, with a stable price of around 3 kronor per kilogram, and an income of almost 300,000 kronor a year. After taking into account the expenses of fuel consumption, fishing nets, and purchasing fishing quotas, there are still more than 200,000 kronor left." Oder did not.
When someone unexpectedly asked about his income, he started counting each income and expense for Hong Tao with his fingers.
"It's only more than 200,000, so the monthly repayment is less than 20,000 kroner. I heard from Pan that the average salary in Norway is more than 25,000. So you and Elke are lagging behind?" Hong Tao did some calculations.
, I came to the conclusion that there is really no future in fishing, and the dangers on the sea are very high. The labor intensity is still very high, although there is a little freedom, and you don’t have to go to work on time every day, but the income is a bit low.
"Hahahaha. You can't calculate it that way. The Ministry of Fisheries will also provide some subsidies, which are probably tens of thousands of crowns every year. In addition, cod fishing only lasts for more than two months from June to August. But you can also fish for sardines in other seasons.
Mackerel, king crab, conch, mussels, etc. can basically be fished from April to December every year, and the income is slightly worse than cod. But it’s about the same.” After listening to Hong Tao’s words, Aude shook his hands and smiled.
Got up.
It turned out that Hong Tao had misunderstood. The income Oded just mentioned was only the income from fishing cod, and there were other incomes that were not included. If all were included, the annual gross profit for him and Elke could reach more than 1.5 million kronor.
After deducting the expenses and then dividing it equally between the two, the final income can reach about 500,000 kronor, which is already higher than the salary of a university professor and is definitely a high income in Norway.
"That's a lot! How about hiring me as a helper? I'll pay you 10,000 crowns a month from the food and administrative department!" Hong Tao looked at the stout guy in front of him, his eyes filled with envy and jealousy!
"Hahahaha, no problem, you can ask Veronica to help you get a loan to buy a small boat like this, a second-hand one is fine, more than one million, and then settle down here as a fisherman. Elk and I can teach
How do you fish, how do you catch crabs!" Oded was very happy that others could look forward to his life. He said this with his big gloved hands while patting Hong Tao on the shoulder. He probably also hated Hong Tao for being taller than him and wanted to pat him more.
Shoot a little lower.
"Well, wait until I learn Norwegian first, so as not to get tricked when selling fish!" Hong Tao said casually. A small country with high welfare like Norway has extremely strict control over the foreign population. He wants to make a fool of himself here.
It is very difficult to have an identity. If you have the skills, it is better to go to Canada or the United States, which is relatively easier.
"Hahahaha, you are a treacherous boy!" Aude laughed so hard that tears almost came out, and he patted Hong Tao on the shoulder even more vigorously.
"Someone wants to steal our fish! Look, look! That black boat!" Hong Tao was wondering whether he should stay away from Oud so as not to suffer on his own shoulders, when he suddenly saw a black boat over Oud's shoulder.
The boat was approaching the fishing net it had just laid. There was someone on the boat using a pole to pull the fishing net up from the water.
"Don't worry, that's the coast patrol, a ship of the Norwegian Navy. They are checking the size of the fishing net." Oded turned around and glanced in the direction Hong Tao was pointing, then shook his head at Hong Tao as if nothing had happened and ignored the boat.
Boat.
At this time, the light rain in the sky finally stopped, but the sea wind became stronger. The waves on the North Sea side were not small. When the wind blew again, the boat seemed to be floating in the gaps between the mountains, and the waves on all sides often blew it away.
My line of sight was blocked and I couldn't see far away for a long time.
In order to avoid accidents, Aude tied himself and Hong Tao to the side of the boat with safety ropes, and then squatted inside the side of the boat. This could prevent him from being soaked by the waves, but there was still a stream of sea water showering his head.
It's raining, it's even more uncomfortable than when it rained just now.
To say that fishing is really not an easy job. When the sun comes out, it will burn you to death, when the wind comes up, it will shake to death, and when it rains, it will freeze to death. Anyway, it is difficult to catch a comfortable time. Even if you are uncomfortable, you still have to
It's not unfair to risk being swept away by the waves to cast and close the net to earn a few more bucks.
After waiting for an hour and a half, Elke gave the order to raise the net. Fearing that Hong Tao and Wang Jian would be swept away by the waves, he did not let the two continue to raise the net by themselves. He personally took charge of shaking the net from the stern of the boat. Hong Tao
Still responsible for operating the winch, Wang Jian held the safety rope and helped Elke pick fish on the other side.
God once again gave Hong Tao a big slap in the face. Before the fishing net was collected, Elke said that the harvest of this net was good, because the gillnet that was supposed to be formed into an arc by the current was now in an irregular shape.
There is only one reason why it is floating on the sea. There are many fish caught in the net and they are still struggling, so the net is messed up.
Sure enough, as soon as I picked up the floating ball, there were fish flapping their bodies on the water and splashing out a few white flowers, and two big-bellied cod of about ten pounds were caught in the gill net.
The work of picking fish with a gill net is also a skill. When operating, you hold a hard plastic shuttle in your hand. When you see a fish on the net, grab the fish body with one hand and insert the shuttle along the gills into the fish and spine with the other hand.
Between the wires of the net, and then break it with a little force, the fish will fall off and the gill net will not be damaged.
If you are not good at this skill, either you will not pick a fish for a long time, or you will tear the mesh of the gill net. If it is cracked a few times, the net will have to be cut and re-spliced or it will be scrapped directly.
This is also one of the costs.
Wang Jian was very slow at first, and most of the time he relied on Elk to pick fish. However, Elk's skills are not to mention, he basically fishes one at a time, so fast that you can't even see his movements. It doesn't matter whether he has Wang Jian's help or not.
It doesn't matter.
As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. When the first piece of net was almost finished, Wang Jian had already found the trick. Although his movements were not as dexterous as Elk's, he could get a fish out with just a few strokes. It can't be said that he was a burden.
The fish from the net were picked and thrown on the deck, and then kicked with their feet into a hatch under the big roll at the stern. The hatch was filled not with sea water, but with crushed ice. This kind of cod belongs to the
High-oxygen fish basically cannot live for more than a few minutes after being caught. Even if they are filled with seawater in a cabin, they cannot survive. They can only be quickly frozen with ice cubes, so that the meat can remain relatively fresh. (To be continued, please search Piao Piao.
