Xiang Yang smiled and shook his head, then he took off the net bag from his waist and said with a smile: "Who said that if the salmon escaped, there would be no other valuable catches? Look, what did I catch?"
Fang Youqun took the net bag from Xiang Yang with doubt, opened it and immediately exclaimed: "Fuck, butterfly fish, Brother Yang, where did you catch so many?"
The crew members all leaned forward. They all made a living on the sea, and they had been with Xiang Yang for such a long time that they knew a little about the value of butterfly fish.
To everyone, this net bag of butterfly fish is worth a lot of money!
We all dive frequently, and we often see butterfly fish in coral reefs. But precisely because we see them so many times, we all know how difficult it is to catch butterfly fish, and how amazing it is to catch so many in such a short time.
"Because of the whales' presence and hunting, many marine creatures under this sea area have been frightened, including butterfly fish. Now many butterfly fish are hiding motionlessly among the coral reefs. Once you see them, you can catch them with one shot." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
As he spoke, Xiang Yang glared at Fang Youqun and said, "Why are you still carrying the net bag? Hurry up and find an empty fish tank to raise all these butterfly fish."
Fang Youqun acted quickly, picked out a large rectangular fish tank, and poured all the butterfly fish in the net bag into the tank.
Immediately, butterfly fishes spread their fins and started swimming in the fish tank, just like butterflies dancing in a crystal palace. They were as beautiful and charming as they could be.
Xiang Yang was not worried that there would be too many butterfly fish in one tank and that the butterfly fish would die.
This is how you raise butterfly fish. A single one would seem monotonous.
If you want to raise them, raise them in groups. It is best to mix and raise species of various sizes and colors. Put a sea tank on the table. It is like owning the entire underwater world, and it is like owning the entire spring, with colorful flowers in full bloom, and a scent of bees and butterflies coming.
"When you get to the bottom of the sea later, you can catch this butterfly fish or brain flower coral. Although they are not rare species, they are numerous and sell well. The most important thing is that they are frightened now and are hiding in the coral reefs, so they are easy to catch." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
The crew members nodded one after another, and Fang Youqun was even more eager to try.
Xiang Yang smiled and sent everyone underwater.
However, Xiang Yang himself did not go downstairs. He took a bowl of fish noodles and some snacks from the kitchen and started eating slowly.
noon.
The crew members finally returned to the deck one by one, all of them were exhausted. After all, swimming under the sea was very tiring.
Of course, the harvest is also very gratifying.
A variety of beautiful butterfly fish, as well as scallops, clams and conches.
Some people also caught lobsters and swimming crabs.
Xiang Yang asked people to prepare lunch while counting the number of people on the boat.
Only after confirming that everyone on board was on board was the fishing boat allowed to continue sailing and the order for lunch to be served was given.
The fishing boat continued to sail east.
This is a truly endless sea. The sea and the sky are the same color. Amid the rolling waves, you can't see the land or other ships, and even a flying bird can't be seen in the sky.
Xu Fang and Chen Qingsheng were still thinking about the group of salmon under the sea.
As they devoured their food, they suggested to Xiang Yang, "Captain, why don't we cast a net? Maybe we can catch some salmon."
Although both Chen Qingsheng and Xu Fang had gone into the sea to confirm that the group of salmon had either escaped or been eaten by the three whales, they were unwilling to accept this.
That's salmon!
Not only is it delicious, but eating it can also strengthen your body and prevent various diseases.
It's so hard to come across this once, it would be so frustrating if I couldn't even catch one!
"The name of this fish sounds very familiar to me, Brother Yang, why don't we cast a net?" Fang Youqun also spoke.
Xiang Yang smiled and nodded, "Whether there are salmon or not, we should definitely cast our nets."
Although diving fishing is very profitable, diving fishing is certainly not the only means for an ocean-going fishing vessel to go out to sea.
Trawl is still the main source of income.
"Well, let's put it this way. Once we finish our meal, we will cast a net." Xiang Yang ordered.
"Yes, Captain." The crew members immediately sped up their eating.
This morning, Xiang Yang rewarded them with half a day of diving time. On average, each person earned more than a thousand yuan, so everyone was very motivated.
In addition, Xiang Yang had been kind to the crew members for a long time, so the crew members gradually accepted Xiang Yang and gradually became of the same mind as Xiang Yang.
Now that Xiang Yang said he wanted to cast the net, no crew member complained.
Fang Youqun finished his meal in just two or three bites, then ran to the stern, "You guys eat first, I'll go lower the winch."
Chen Qingsheng quickly grabbed Fang Youqun and said, "Come back here."
Soon, everyone finished their meal.
Under the leadership of Chen Qingsheng, the crew members were divided into several rows, waiting for the fishing nets to be launched into the water.
Pulled by the winch, the fishing net is smoothly lowered into the sea, and then automatically spreads out into an umbrella shape under the influence of the tide.
Seeing this, Chen Qingsheng breathed a sigh of relief and ordered, "Everyone, go and rest. Gather at the same place in two hours to close the net."
Once the fishing net is cast, it usually takes at least an hour to collect it. This is a deep water area, so two hours is considered a short time to trawle the net.
It was impossible for Xiang Yang to let the crew wait there for two hours.
So generally speaking, during the period after the fishing nets were put into the water, Xiang Yang would let the crew arrange things however they wanted, as long as they had the strength to work when it was time to collect the nets.
"Chiu—"
At this time, a loud cry came from the sky.
Xiang Yang raised his head and looked into the distance, and found that it was the frigate bird he had seen in the morning.
Xiang Yang was very puzzled as to why he saw frigatebirds twice in one day in the ocean.
Although the frigatebird is called the flying champion, it is an extremely outstanding flyer. Although it weighs only about 1,500 grams, its wingspan can reach 2 meters. It flies like lightning and can reach a maximum speed of 418 kilometers per hour when hunting, making it the fastest flying bird in the world.
Not only can it fly to a height of about 1,200 meters, but it can also flip flexibly in the air, and it can also fly continuously to a place more than 1,600 kilometers away from its nest, and the farthest distance can reach about 4,000 kilometers.
Even in a force 12 gale, it can remain calm and fly and land safely in the air.
But it is an indisputable fact that frigatebirds are afraid of water.
This is because the frigatebird's feathers do not have oil and cannot get wet. If they do, they will drown.
