Golden Fishery

  The Seagod Consciousness explored the surroundings, and the four consciousnesses just split up and attacked in all directions. Qin Shiou was stunned to see hundreds of blue marlin swimming fast nearby.

  These fish live in waters of forty to fifty meters deep, with their strong and powerful tails swinging like sharp arrows in the water, and they are very fast.

I don’t know when it started. There were so many Atlantic blue marlins in the fishing grounds. Qin Shiou controlled the sea god’s consciousness and quickly explored and found that there were hundreds of large fishes over two meters long, and there were other smaller fishes, and the number was even greater. Too much!

This surprised Qin Shiou, because he did not migrate the blue marlin school to the fishing ground, but brought a big fish from George Shoal the year before last. These fish did not seem to be the big blue marlin, because the two sides ignored each other. Marlins are active in the deep sea of ​​more than 800 meters.

  Don’t look at the size of blue marlin, but they are extremely sturdy predators in the ocean. The smaller ones can prey on both fish, shrimps and crabs, and they can even eat smaller turtles!

  In addition, because the blue marlin swims fast and likes to cruise around, they consume energy very quickly and constantly need to prey to supplement energy.

  After these blue marlins came to the fishing grounds, they hunted the remaining capelin, a large number of herring and mackerel, and even the cod that was not big enough could escape their hands. If they were caught by them accidentally, they would also be preyed.

  Blue marlin is one of the most unwelcome fish in private fisheries. They have average meat quality and can be used as food fish, but they are very common food fish. The value lies more in size. As a game fisher, catching blue marlin can give people a sense of glory.

  In the world famous book "The Old Man and the Sea", the super big fish caught by the old man. It is an Atlantic blue marlin. This guy can grow up to six or seven meters in length. In 2013, a British angler named Kevin Gardner. A giant blue marlin measuring 6 and a half meters in length was caught in the Atlantic Ocean, weighing about 600 kilograms!

  No one came to Daqin Fishery. Qin Shiou searched it and saw two big fishes as small as five meters in length. This size is also very impressive, most sharks can't grow so big.

  Harmandan is a master fisherman. After the blue marlin took the bait, he began to fight it patiently, biting his lower lip with his teeth, and constantly gathering and releasing the fishing line, consuming the fish’s strength.

  Qin Shiou went to help and caught this fish like bluefin tuna. A harpoon is needed. When the fish is pulled out of the water and reaches the vicinity of the fishing boat, a fork must be given to it. Otherwise, at the last moment, after being frightened, it may explode with powerful force to break the fishing line and escape.

  It took a full half an hour before the little prince pulled the big fish near the yacht.

  When the fish revealed its cylindrical body, Hamandan judged its identity. Somewhat disappointed he said, "It's not a bluefin tuna, this is an Atlantic blue marlin!"

  Blue marlin is certainly not as valuable as bluefin tuna.

  Qin Shiou comforted him and said, "Wow, this fish is big enough, it's a big fish!"

For the angler, it is also an honor to catch the Atlantic blue marlin, so he was refreshed and dragged the fish to the boat with his teeth, muttering: "OK, it's not bad to catch this guy! This is a good sign, another blue fin will come later. Then everything is perfect!"

  The blue marlin is about six or seven meters away from the fishing boat. This is not a suitable distance to throw a harpoon, it is a bit remote.

  But Qin Shiou said nothing. He stared at the big fish that was dragged up, and suddenly his arm muscles swelled. The body stretched like a full moon, and he threw the harpoon out!

  ‘唰’. With a crisp sound, the harpoon shot through the air and accurately inserted into the big fish's back.

The blue marlin struggled, and Hamandan let go of the wheel seat and let it pull the fishing line to return to the light, and then looked at Qin Shiou appreciatively and praised: "Cool, brother Qin Shiou, a very precise projection, you knocked it down. !"

  He knew that this fish could not run. As long as it was shot by a harpoon, even a shark would be in danger, let alone a blue marlin.

Blue marlin is the fish least willing to be injured in the water. They need to swim at a high speed. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the smooth skin of the fish is not harmed. Once injured, they cannot swim quickly, which makes it difficult for them to get food. It's hard to live on.

  Qin Shiou smiled and said, "For the fisherman, this is the most basic."

The smoke gun that traveled with the boat smiled and said: "In fact, few fishermen can reach the level of dart shooting like BOSS. If there is still a game of shooting blue marlin with darts, then I bet you can take the BOSS. Champion."

  Qin Shiou asked with interest: "What's the matter with the dart shooting blue marlin game?"

Without a smoking gun, Hamandan, who was busy dragging the blue marlin onto the boat, turned around and said, “You don’t know about these traditional Atlantic activities? As far as I know, your treasure island fishermen like to do this too. The fishermen are more fierce than fighting."

  Qin Shiou did not know that he was not as rich and free as the little prince who could travel around the world.

  The smoke gun further explained to him that the dart shooting blue marlin activity, as the name suggests, is to use the fish dart to shoot the blue marlin, which is an activity derived from the dart shooting sailfish activity.

What Harmandan said is not entirely correct. In the early years, the reason why fishermen wanted to shoot blue marlins with darts was not only because this method could test the true guts and abilities of a man, but also because the swordfish caught by shooting with darts would not clot the blood. There is no fishy smell in the body, and the fish is more delicious and valuable.

  Blue marlin is not included in Canada’s restricted catch list. Due to its large size and rapid activity, it is difficult to fish in a large scale and has not caused fatal harm to its resources. Naturally, artificial protection is not needed.

Since the beginning of global statistics on fishery harvests in the mid-1960s, the annual production of blue marlin has always been stable at about 13,000 to 15,000 tons. So far, only two years-1970 and 1973-have reached more than 20,000 tons. It shows that their ethnic resources are no problem.

Knowing this sport, Qin Shiou had a plan in mind. There were also a lot of big blue marlins in the fishing grounds. He found hundreds of them in this sea area alone, and he could also set up an activity in the fishing grounds to hunt. Blue marlin.

  After returning to the shore, he summoned the fishermen and said that according to his observations using family secret techniques and the detection of fish finder, there are a lot of blue marlins in the fishing grounds. Do you want to engage in dart shooting blue marlins?

  The fishermen responded naturally. They claimed to be descendants of Viking pirates, and naturally wanted to prove that they possessed the bravery and sturdiness of their ancestors.

Dart shooting blue marlin is the activity that best shows this point. Think about it. Men riding a fishing boat, holding a heavy dart gun shirtless against the roaring waves, blue marlin jumping out of the water. , That shot went up and harvested a big fish three or four meters long. Is there anything more exciting for men than this? (To be continued~^~)
