He handed the net bag to Ding Yi, took the empty net bag and returned to the water.
Ye Yuan came to the bottom of the sea again. Not far away, a lobster was crawling in the sea sand. When he was about to go over, he saw a very ugly stone moving. He was frightened and took a few steps back, staring at it warily. That stone.
After looking at it carefully for a while, I realized that it was not a stone at all, but a kind of seabed fish. The skin was like a rusty toad, which made people subconsciously not want to get close.
This is the stone fish, also called tiger fish. Many fishermen call it toad fish. It is a very poisonous fish on the seabed. It is generally about 30cm in length. It likes to hide on the seabed or under rocks, disguising itself as an inconspicuous stone.
If someone accidentally steps on it, it will fight back unceremoniously, shooting out deadly poison.
There are 12-14 needle-like spines on its back, which can easily penetrate the soles of shoes and stab into the soles of the feet, poisoning people quickly and leaving them in severe pain until death.
Although stonefish is ugly, its meat is tender and has no fine spines, and its nutritional value is very high. It also has the medicinal effect of moisturizing the lungs. In recent years, some people have said that stone fish can have a beautifying effect.
After the fish fat of the stone fish is dried, it is processed into fish maw and used to make soup. It is a delicacy on the table that is smooth in the mouth, comparable to the best shark fins and bird's nests.
The sting of the stonefish is poisonous, so you have to be extra careful when slaughtering it. It is difficult for ordinary people to handle its poison. The chefs in the hotel also need professional learning to prepare this dish.
If the poisonous stinger is not cleaned and the poisonous stonefish is eaten, it may cause swelling and pain. In severe cases, convulsions and fainting may occur.
A light flashed in Ye Yuan's eyes, thinking, "I've found a treasure this time." He took the net bag, opened the mouth of the net bag, walked over quietly, slowly drove the stone fish into the net, and finally lifted it up carefully. This stone fish weighs 7 to 8 pounds, which is relatively rare. Usually, 2 to 3 pounds is more common.
The price of this fish is far from clear. Usually the price of this rare seafood fluctuates greatly.
Ye Yuan climbed onto the fishing boat and carefully placed the stone fish on the deck.
"Be careful, don't touch it, it's poisonous." Ye Yuan warned him directly when he saw that the second brother was about to touch the fish with his hand.
Ye Yuan took a sip of the mineral water handed over by Ding Yi, and this time took a fish cage made of bamboo. In his perception, he found several more stone fish, although they were not as big as the one just now, and they were not as big as the one just now. It's small.
The colorful underwater world is his own cornucopia for Ye Yuan.
After catching in this sea area for nearly an hour, there were already a lot of lobsters, swimming crabs, and even more than 30 rare stone fish on the boat.
Ye Yuan and several crew members took turns to rest.
Ye Yuan himself went to the sea again. He wanted to go farther away and see. Perhaps because few people came here, this sea area was very rich in fish.
The sea water here is very clean and clear, the sea sand stretches over a large area, there are no seaweed plants, and the thin sea sand has no end in sight.
Ye Yuan casually caught a small fish. The color of the small fish was bright. Ye Yuan was not interested in these small fish of little value. After letting him go, the small fish broke free and immediately swam away in fear. The meeting time had already disappeared from Ye Yuan's sight.
Ye Yuan didn't pay attention to some small fish around him. In the sea, as long as he didn't encounter large carnivorous fish, there were few that could threaten him.
Ye Yuan swam aimlessly at the bottom of the sea.
"Huh? There seems to be something moving under the sea sand." Ye Yuan observed carefully.
After a while, Ye Yuan could see clearly that it was a turbot fish.
Turbot is a bottom-dwelling fish that usually floats less and has a docile personality. The body of turbot is flat and diamond-shaped, with two eyes located on the left side of the head, and the distance between the eyes is flat and wide.
The body is naked and scaleless, and the back is greenish-brown, with black and brown patterns faintly visible. Its biggest feature is that it can change the depth of its body color with changes in the living environment and substrate. The ventral surface is smooth and white, without scales.
Turbot has short, thin teeth that are not sharp. There is an arcuate curve above the pectoral fin, the head and tail fin are both small, and there are no small spines on the whole body except the central axis bone. The middle part of the body is thick, the internal organs are small, and the meat yield rate is high. It is the most common economic fish.
Many seafood merchants gave him another name, Turbot, in order to sell it to him.
Many turbot fish on the market are artificially cultured, and the price has dropped to 15 to 20 yuan per pound. Wild turbot is still very popular, and many high-end hotels still like to use turbot for cooking.
The number of turbot here is already staggering. Ye Yuan made a brief observation and found that this piece of sea sand was full of this kind of turbot, which weighed at least several hundred tons.
Back on the boat, Ye Yuan ordered the crew to prepare the trawl net. Ding Yi quickly drove the boat to the designated position, and slowly slid down to the bottom of the sea as the trawl net.
The ship's hull clearly felt an increase in forward resistance. After towing for half an hour, it was time to start raising the net, with the sound of the winch.
The crane directly lifted up a large bag of fish, all of which were turbot. Each fish was basically more than 3 kilograms, and the larger ones weighed about 5 kilograms.
The turbot was unloaded on the deck, and soon after, the nets were lowered.
All the crew members were busy. This time there were 6 crew members, 3 more than last time. Together with Ye Yuan and Lao Er, 8 people quickly transported these turbots to the cold storage.
As soon as the deck was cleared, the second net had already been brought up. After dragging the net here three times in a row, Ye Yuan ordered to rest. I am really exhausted.
A rough estimate shows that these three networks can produce 20 tons of turbot. Even the lowest price is 20 yuan per catty. The income from these three networks has also reached 800,000.
The second child was so tired that he didn’t want to move anymore and just lay down on the deck.
"Fourth, I can see that you are using me as a coolie. I will never go to sea with you next time. I am too tired."
As he spoke, he found a cigarette and lit it.
Ye Yuan was also very tired and struggled to pull up his dick.
"Don't rest here, go back to the rest room, take a good bath, and have a good sleep."
After saying that, he walked back to the cabin.
Ye Yuan and the others returned to the cabin to rest, while the crew worked tirelessly to tidy up the deck.
There is a lot of marine garbage on the deck. Yes, don’t think that the ocean is very clean. In fact, many people don’t know.
Some fishing boats go out to sea once, but don't catch much fish, and it often happens that they bring back more garbage than fish.
Ordinary fishermen will not throw garbage into the sea again, but will bring it back to land for disposal. This also increases the workload of some fishermen at sea.
According to some data, the amount of marine debris in the Pacific Ocean alone has reached more than 3 million square kilometers, even exceeding the land area of some countries.
A "marine garbage patch" dominated by plastic has formed in the Pacific Ocean with an area the size of Texas.
If this continues, the ocean will not be able to handle it. By that time, fishermen will really have no fish to catch.
