Chapter 107 Ocean Fishing
As for the two luxury cruise ships, because they suffered a lot of damage in the gun battle, they have already been sent back to the manufacturer for repairs, and it is estimated that it will take a little longer, so Lin Fan did not see the cruise ships this time.

However, after the cruise ship is repaired, it will be sent to Huaguo by a large cargo ship, together with Zhong Huayan's one, so it may arrive in Dongzhou City one step ahead of Lin Fan and the others.

Before Lin Fan set off, he had already discussed with Lin Anan the course of action of the two fishing boats. The route was going to pass through the North Atlantic, South Atlantic, Southern Ocean, Indian Ocean and then to the Pacific Ocean.

Along the way, he will make necessary supplements in the coastal cities of some countries, and the countries Lin Fan chose include Ireland, Spain, South Africa, and Malaysia. He enters the South China Sea through the Strait of Malacca, and returns along the Zengmu Shoal, the Nansha Islands, and the Xisha Islands.

Lin Fan preliminarily set the entire ocean fishing time at about [-] days, which is close to three months.If it is other large ocean-going fishing vessels, it may not be possible to gain much in such a short period of time.

But Lin Fan's fishing boat is different, because he has an aircraft to explore the deep sea, so he can accurately understand the distribution of fisheries in the deep sea, and can quickly and effectively catch more fish.

Moreover, the reason why Lin Fan decided to catch up with the coastal cities of various countries along the way actually has another purpose. He will definitely be able to catch a full tank of fish very quickly along the way. The purpose of going to these cities is to process them and free up more fish. Space.

"Captain, when shall we try a net?"

The two fishing boats are about ten miles apart and can communicate instantly using the ship's internal communication system.And Lin Fan was on Shenhai No. [-], and Zhang Zhide was in charge of Shenhai No. [-]. I only heard him asking excitedly there.

"Oh, Uncle De, I'm afraid it's only over 100 nautical miles away from Iceland, less than two hundred nautical miles away."

Lin Fan smiled and said that he could understand Zhang Zhide's mood. He had been a crew member at sea for 20 years, but basically he only wandered around in the coastal waters of Huaguo. Once, it was impossible not to be excited.

Even Lin Fan himself was very excited. After leaving Iceland, he had the idea of ​​getting off the net to try it out, but he knew that fishing was not allowed here.And Zhang Zhide also understood this point, after hearing Lin Fan's promise, he smiled: "Hehe, I'm so excited."

According to the International Convention on the Seas, it is not allowed to fish within [-] nautical miles from other countries, because this is the exclusive economic operation zone of each country. Although it is not territorial waters, it is protected by international law.

Therefore, after Lin Fan left the Icelandic fishing port, he took his fishing boats and headed directly to the distance. He absolutely could not stay for a long time within the [-] nautical miles of Iceland, let alone stop to fish.

Of course, in fact, there are not many fishery resources in this range, because Iceland itself is a country with developed fisheries. Although fishery control has been implemented, the fishery resources in the offshore waters are relatively depleted. Even if fishing is allowed, there may not be much harvest.

Deep Sea No. [-] and Deep Sea No. [-] boosted up their horsepower, cutting through the waves and advancing rapidly.Looking around, you can see the blue sea as far as the eye can see, and you can hear the sound of wind and waves in your ears.

Although the anti-seismic and wind and wave capabilities of the two fishing boats have been greatly improved after being refitted by engineering soldiers, the wind and waves in the depths of the ocean are more violent than those in the offshore waters.

Although the ship can receive weather faxes from the shore every day, the climate at sea changes rapidly, and the ship is often attacked by small-scale low-pressure storms. Sometimes the local maximum wind force reaches about 11 levels, and the wave height is more than 3 meters.

The crew are always facing danger, and the 3-meter-high waves are enough to make people realize what it means to "death at sea".The howling sea wind mixed with the lone roar of the motor sounded particularly terrifying. The waves hit the deck, the hull, and even the roof of the ship with a sound, and the sea water poured down, pounced on the crew, and rushed into the room.

Friends who have never been out at sea imagine life at sea like this: eat seafood, enjoy the sea breeze, sunbathe, and feel like vacationing in Hawaii every day.But even Zhang Zhide and other senior crew members suffered from seasickness shortly after arriving in the depths of the ocean.
Ocean-going ships are moving forward, the sea is getting bluer and the wind and waves are getting bigger and bigger.When bumping on big waves, the hull will sway close to 30 degrees.More and more crew members are suffering from seasickness, their hair is swelling, their legs are weak, and it is difficult for them to walk.When the wind and waves are really strong, the old crew will vomit non-stop because of seasickness.

In the middle of the night, you can’t see your fingers outside the cabin. The whistling sea wind is mixed with the roar of the lone motor, which sounds particularly terrifying. into the room.

The objects in the room were swaying due to the excessive shaking of the ship. As if they were hit by an earthquake, the tables and chairs slid from this corner of the room and back again.This situation was very different from what Lin Fan had encountered the previous few times he went to sea.

However, after this period of practice, Lin Fan's physical fitness has been strengthened by more than ten times, so when everyone gets seasick, only he can check around and help others as if nothing happened.

When the wind and waves were the worst, everyone had to hide in the room, lie on the bed and cover their heads tightly.Lin Fan had experienced that feeling the first time he went out to sea. He had a splitting headache, not to mention nausea and vomiting.

However, when the wind and waves were less, without Lin Fan's reminder, all the crew members would struggle to come to the deck to enjoy the sea breeze. This was the best way they all knew to adapt to seasickness.

It was not until the next day that everyone gradually adapted to the wind and waves of the deep sea. They could move freely in the wind and waves, and no longer had nausea, vomiting and headaches. By this time, the ocean-going ship was already more than 500 nautical miles away from Iceland.

"Captain, the weather is good today, and the wind and waves are relatively calm. Can we get off the net now?"

Although he was dizzy for more than a day, Zhang Zhide's spirit did not weaken at all. After waking up this morning, he saw that the weather outside was good, so he suggested to the computer room.

"You can try to get off the net today, but let's wait until the control room detects the situation in the surrounding sea area first." Lin Fan agreed after looking at the situation outside.

Not only the detection system on the ocean-going ship was detecting and searching, but the two aircrafts that had been following Lin Fan and the others under the sea surface also began to detect in the surrounding sea area.

"Reporting to the captain, there is a large school of mackerel 800 nautical miles ahead on the right, at a depth of [-] meters, numbering more than [-], and they are moving south at a speed of [-] nautical miles per hour."

Not long after, Lin Fan received a report. This time, a large school of mackerel was detected.Mackerel is a very common edible fish, also known as "mackerel".Common names include mackerel, Atlantic mackerel, Boston mackerel, Pacific mackerel, Japanese mackerel, American mackerel, blue mackerel, and bamboo mackerel.

"Calculating the direction and time, the two boats will pass together, and intercept them at the same time after entering a suitable distance. This school of mackerel should be able to sell at a good price in Ireland." Lin Fan smiled and issued orders to the two fishing boats at the same time. Order.

"Report to the captain, the fishing boat should pursue in a direction of 31 degrees south, and should be able to intercept the fish school in four to ten minutes." After careful calculation by the engineering warriors in the control room, the driving direction and separation time were quickly determined.

"Okay, full speed ahead."

Soon, the two fishing boats turned around at the same time and headed towards the south quickly, and the speed was increased to the fastest 30 knots.The crew members on the fishing boat were very excited because this was their first time fishing in the deep ocean.

"Boss Lin, what fish school is it?" Zhang Zhide asked.

"It's a school of mackerel. Has Uncle De heard of this fish?"

"Hey, before I came to Iceland, I had someone teach me to surf the Internet and check the fish that live in the Atlantic Ocean around Iceland, and I really heard about this kind of mackerel.

Mackerel has a stout and slightly flat body, with a spindle shape, generally 20 to 40 centimeters in length and weighing 150 to 400 grams.Found near the coasts of the Western Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, they like to live in groups.

This kind of fish has a wide distribution, fast growth and high yield.Fish contains 21.4 grams of protein and 7.4 grams of fat per [-] grams. The meat is firm and can be marinated and canned in addition to fresh food. The liver can be used to extract cod liver oil. "

"Ha, I didn't expect Uncle De to keep pace with the times and learn to surf the Internet. I also heard that this kind of mackerel is one of the favorite seafood in Iceland and surrounding European countries, and Iceland even once cooperated with There have been violent clashes among other European powers."

"In this Atlantic waters, in addition to mackerel, there are cod, herring, and salmon, all of which are social fish and are also favorite food for Europeans. We can catch more of these fish before heading to Ireland It is estimated that it will be sold well." Uncle De is old and experienced, and he has heard of Lin Fan's plan, so he put forward his own suggestion.

"Yes, I thought so too." Lin Fan smiled.

Four to five 10 minutes passed quickly, and when the fishing boats were only four to five nautical miles away from the fish, the speed of the two fishing boats slowed down and began to quickly lower their nets.Four deep-water giant nets covering an area of ​​1500 square meters crossed and intercepted the mackerel school in layers, and then the fishing boat slowly maintained a speed of about 15 knots to meet the fish school.

Generally, the fishing nets of small fishing boats can only catch fish at a depth of more than 600 meters below the sea surface; while the fishing nets of medium-sized offshore fishing boats can be lowered to a depth of [-] to [-] meters below the sea surface. fishing list.

For large ocean-going fishing boats, there are many types of fishing nets equipped on them, including ordinary pull nets, block nets, loose nets, and light nets, which can meet the needs of fishing for various types of fish, and can also meet the requirements of fishing under the sea surface. Required for jobs of varying depths.
