Catch the sea: start with a sand shovel and take over the entire beach

The one on their boat is a bottom trawl net. Because they have to take into account catching shrimps and crabs, the mesh is not too large.

This is also why sweetfish and sand tip can be caught.

Of course, a small mesh is relative. Take Shajian as an example. The fish they encountered must be bigger, but most of them were smaller and slipped through the mesh.

Therefore, those caught are generally larger in size.

Relatively speaking, trawling does a lot of damage to marine resources. It not only kills both large and small, but more importantly, it destroys the ecology of the seabed.

But Zhao Qin couldn't care so much at the moment, because not only his own country allowed it, but trawling in other countries was even more popular.

Relatively speaking, the country protects many more fish species than other countries. Fishing of seahorses and horseshoe crabs is also legal in many countries.

As soon as the meal was ready, Zhao Qin forced everyone to eat.

Each person had a big bowl of stewed rice. It looked like the random stew in Northeast China and tasted quite good. I can only say that if Achen didn't fish, he would be a good cook if he learned how to cook.

Including Zhao Qin, no one spoke, everyone was putting food into their mouths.

A meal only lasts five or six minutes. After everyone has finished fighting, everyone once again gets involved in sorting.

Zhao Qin sighed, "It's better to divide the big fish."

"Hey, big fish may not have this price. Come on, hurry up. If we catch all these fish in a week, then it's time to set off firecrackers." It was Zhao Ping who answered him.

If the old cat heard Zhao Qin's complaints, maybe the smile would be over, and Zhao Ping would say something to him from time to time.

Zhao Qin smiled and said nothing. Now everyone is in a relaxed mood.

It has been just one day since I came out, and I have already earned nearly one million. Everyone will make a profit. Even if they are unlucky next, at least they have a lot of guarantees.

By the time the sorting was completed, it was almost three o'clock, and everyone stood up slowly, holding their waists.

"Oh, it's easy for me to make some money." Zhao Qin looked up at the sky and then sighed.

Ah Chen and the others just smiled when they saw this, while Zhao Ping rolled his eyes. 20 in a few hours, what do you think? Not to mention bending down, even if you have to kneel to sort, you will lose your head.

"Go back to the cabin to catch up on some sleep." Zhao Qin looked at the crowd and said.

"Aqin, it's been three hours since the net was put down." Zhao Ping reminded.

"Brother, let's start this network later. You go and catch up on some sleep first. Brother Cat and I will watch for a while."

Although he didn't sleep much despite all his efforts, he really wasn't sleepy now, so he simply let them rest.

In this regard, Zhao Ping listened to him and called everyone into the cabin to rest.

Zhao Qin came to the wheelhouse and chatted with Lao Mao. The water depth where they were now was about 120 meters.

Although they call this boat a big boat, a fishing boat of more than 20 meters can only be regarded as a medium-sized fishing boat, and it cannot go to places in the ocean.

In trawling operations, the flatter the seabed is, the better. Although they are bottom-level operating nets, they are not close to the seabed in the true sense.

Just like bottom fishing, if it is called bottom fishing, it still needs to be one or two meters away from the bottom.

If the seabed is uneven, there will be a lot of hanging nets. If you encounter a big rock again, the net will not be usable.

The two chatted, and the old cat began to tell him about his experience.

"In the past, when going to sea, it was really a matter of fighting hard or not. Someone from a village would always fall into the sea every year.

There was also a weather forecast at that time, but to be honest it was not accurate. It relied more on the experience of veteran fishermen.

When I first went to sea, in the early 80s, there were still bandits. They gathered on the islands, usually with three or four fishing boats.

We fish every day, but as soon as they see other boats on the sea, they will immediately form a siege, snatch the fish away, beat the obedient ones, and throw the disobedient ones directly into the sea.

Then they robbed the engine and other things on the ship. "

"No, what will those obedient people do if their engines are robbed?"

"What can I do if I'm just floating on the sea? I'll encounter a passing fishing boat and ask for help. If I'm lucky, there's an island nearby. I can also swim to the island and rest for a while."

"Aborted with severe punishment?" Zhao Qin asked again.

"No." Old Mao smiled and continued: "Everything comes down. They may be used to bullying others, so they dare to attack even those smuggling ships.

As a result, the gang of smugglers joined forces and beat them up. I heard that guns were used and many people died.

At that time, the smugglers were the big ones. I heard that several big smugglers were escorted by warships, so those people just died and left nothing to do. It actually did us fishermen a big favor.

Since then, the atmosphere at sea has become much better, and it is relatively safer to go to sea. "

Zhao Qin wanted to laugh a little, knowing that those smugglers had done something great.

However, thinking about the previous smugglers, it is true that the background is not simple. Zhao Qin knew that there was a big boss in this province, and he forced the price of oil to only 60% of three barrels of oil.

Not to mention the taxi driver, even the fishermen thanked him.

Zhao Qin and Lao Mao are very good at chatting. He is a person who likes to listen to stories. Lao Mao has many years of experience and is not lacking in stories.

Before I knew it, two hours had passed. At 6:, the old cat reminded: "Aqin, it's time to set up the net."

"Okay, you inform."

By the time everyone got up, Zhao Qin had already stood at the stern of the ship and began to hang the drag line on the winch. Xia Shouzhu hurried forward and hung the other side of the drag line on the winch.

This is a single-vessel trawl, so there are three winches, two working at the same time to retract the winch, and the other one is the last to retract the net.

When the net plate came up, the two of them untied the net plate at the same time and placed it on the net plate frame to separate it from the drag frame, otherwise the winch would be jammed.

The tail slide was grinded by the dragline, and after about ten minutes, the net head began to come up.

When the net is about ten meters long, hang it on another winch with a rope and start to close the net. After collecting a section, you have to hang the rope again to trawl the net. This is repeated until the water comes out of the net bag.

At this time, hang the net bag on the boom and use the boom to lift it to the deck area to be sorted.

"I'll help." Zhao Ping volunteered.

He had been sailing the first few nets, and finally it was his turn to untie the net. Of course he wanted to do it himself. Of course, he also saw that the goods in this net were quite thick.

If it's all empty, it's probably time to let Zhao Qin go.

As the rope of the net bag was untied, everyone was stunned as they looked at the falling seafood.

When Xia Yingjie saw two of them falling on his shoes, he quickly took two steps back in fear.

"How could it be this?" Zhao Qin and his eldest brother said almost at the same time.

"Pipa shrimp, there are good things coming. Hurry and sort them into the cabin. These things can be raised." After a while, Zhao Ping shouted excitedly, and everyone seemed to have regained their consciousness and bent down to start working.

This name is also the local name, and it is also called shrimp steak. In some places, Pipa shrimp refers to shrimp nugget.

The scientific name of this thing is the nine-toothed fan shrimp, which belongs to the family Cicadaidae of the order Decapoda. It looks a bit like a combination of a beetle and a shrimp. The body is brown-black, extremely flat, and the back is quite smooth or slightly sunken.

Because of its flat body, it is also called the slipper lobster in some places.
