The fishing boat sailed south and soon caught up with the school of tropical fish that were migrating south.
Everyone on the ship who saw the sea surface under the illumination of the searchlight was stunned.
How to say it
Under the churning sea water, there are countless schools of fish with no visible edge. It is even more shocking than the scene of animals migrating on the African savannah when the dry season comes.
"This, this is impossible!" Zhou Wang rubbed his eyes vigorously as he looked at the rolling sea surface. He felt a chill down his spine. It wasn't the sea water that was rolling on the sea surface! It was clearly countless schools of fish jumping wildly.
"This, is this attracted by the fish-attracting light?" Xiang Chen also rubbed his eyes, his face full of disbelief.
"Bullshit fish attracting lights! We are experiencing alternation between cold and warm currents." He Mingde was the first to react and laughed.
The alternation of cold and warm currents is a kind of climate that fishermen at sea can hardly encounter. Generally, when a cold current comes, tropical marine fish will swim along with the warm current.
If cold and warm currents alternate frequently in an area of the sea, a huge fishing ground with inexhaustible fishery resources will be formed.
"When the temperature in the coastal areas started to drop a few days ago, I thought a cold wave was coming, but I didn't expect that we would actually encounter migrating fish schools." He Mingde was so excited that he spoke incoherently.
"Brother Yang, should we cast a net?" Fang Youqun asked stupidly.
Immediately, everyone on the boat looked at Fang Youqun as if he were an idiot. Is it necessary to ask such a question at this time
"Let go of the net." Xiang Yang chose to let go of the net without hesitation.
Zhou Wang on the other side was already ready at all times. When he heard Xiang Yang's order, he started the winch without hesitation.
"Wait." He Mingde shouted loudly.
Zhou Wang looked at He Mingde in confusion.
"Xiaoyang, there are too many migrating fish in this area, and there must be some large sea beasts among them. It is not appropriate to use fine-mesh fishing nets at this time." Uncle Xiang explained.
Xiang Yang reacted immediately. Compared with the dense mesh fishing net, the mesh of the fine mesh fishing net is relatively large. It can filter out many smaller marine fish. It can not only protect the ecological balance well, but also adapt to fishing in most situations. It is a more commonly used fishing net on many fishing boats. However, when encountering a large school of fish, the fine mesh fishing net is not enough. The net line of the fine mesh fishing net can easily be made a big hole by fierce marine predators. Not only can no fish be caught, but also a fishing net is wasted.
"Master Zhou, change the fishing net." Xiang Yang immediately gave the order.
"Yes, Captain." Zhou Wang immediately took down the fine-mesh fishing net hanging on the winch and ordered several crew members to replace it with a spare medium-mesh fishing net on the winch.
Zhou Wang changed the fishing net and immediately started the winch to cast the net.
In the control room, Xu Fang slowed down the speed of the fishing boat without Xiang Yang's reminder. The fishing boat was dragging a huge fishing net and moving at a constant speed in the waters full of marine fish.
Except for Xu Fang in the operating room, everyone gathered at the stern, staring at the sea without blinking, with full of anticipation in their hearts, even Zhou Wang who was operating the winch was no exception.
"How much fish do you think this net can catch?"
"I estimate it must be at least ten thousand pounds!"
"Nonsense! There were so few fish in that sea area before, but the fish were still 6,000 to 7,000 kilograms. How can there be only 10,000 kilograms of fish in this sea area, with so many fish?"
"I guess it's 100,000 jin."
"I guess a million pounds is possible."
... ...
The crew members' talk became more and more confusing.
There has not yet been a fishing boat in the world that can catch millions of kilograms of fish with one net. There is a fishing boat in the Netherlands that is said to be the largest in the world, but its net can only catch 300 tons of fish and shrimp at most.
Compared with the other fishing boat, Xiang Yang's drift net fishing boat is dwarfed by the other boat. The maximum lifting weight of the winch is only 20 tons. Under normal circumstances, a full middle-net fishing net can only catch about 20,000 kilograms of fish.
As time passed, everyone became more and more nervous.
More than half an hour passed, Xiang Yang thought it was almost time and immediately shouted: "Close the net!"
Following Xiang Yang's order, all the crew members ran back to both sides of the deck and stood ready.
Zhou Wang immediately operated the winch and pulled the fishing net onto the sea.
"Click, click, click!" The winch made a dull sound under the huge force, a sound that had never been heard before.
Everyone became excited upon hearing this sound, foreseeing that the next thing they would see was a full net of fish.
He Mingde rubbed his hands together, "I hope there will be some precious seafood."
Xiang Yang didn't say anything, but he was also very much looking forward to it.
Soon the fishing net was pulled onto the deck by the winch, and a group of crew members immediately gathered around the fishing net.
"Ah, this?"
However, everyone was stunned after just one look.
He Mingde also stood beside the fishing net with a look of doubt and confusion.
Xiang Yang also saw the situation in the fishing net and immediately smiled, "Uncle, as you wished, we caught a rare seafood."
Uncle Xiang rolled his eyes and said, "I don't want to go in."
It turned out that there were two particularly conspicuous creatures in the big bag of catch—dolphins, commonly known as "porno dolphins".
Dolphins are now considered to be a household name, with their fair skin and naturally lovable faces.
Many people know that dolphins are mammals, but not many people know that dolphins are not only mammals, but are actually a type of whale.
Dolphins are a smaller type of whale, generally one to four meters in length, with a pointed mouth and tiny teeth.
Dolphins have a layer of silky skin on their streamlined bodies. This skin is very elastic and very suitable for swimming in water. They often jump out of the sea. There is an ancient legend that people who see dolphins jumping will be blessed by the sea god and their luck will become very good.
The story of dolphins saving people is now well-known. Everyone knows that when dolphins encounter drowning people, they will carry the humans in distress to the safety of the shore.
In fact, dolphins are much more friendly to humans than that.
Dolphins are very ferocious marine predators, but they will not attack humans. Even if a dolphin sees humans hurting their own kind, they will not retaliate against humans. In ocean-themed parks across the country, dolphins are often the ones that interact the most with humans.
This habit of dolphins is very difficult to understand. Even scientists cannot give a specific reason. It can only be attributed to the wonders of nature.
The two dolphins were not afraid at all when they were pulled onto the deck by Xiang Yang and his crew. Instead, they leisurely ate the sea fish piled beneath them. Feeling that Xiang Yang and the crew were looking at them, they actually flapped their fins and let out a cheerful cry towards Xiang Yang and the crew, with a humane smile on their faces.
