After saying this, the crew members understood some fishing methods, and then came the actual operation.
Ye Yuan demonstrated in detail how to use the trawl net, how to use the mixer, crane and other tools on the ship.
In the crew rest area, Ye Yuan also prepared many information books on marine fish for these crew members so that they can become better crew members.
Seeing that everyone understood almost everything, Ye Yuan ordered the net to be cast.
As the boatswain, Yu Hongbo led several sailors under his command, but they were not very skilled in the operation.
The fishing net spreads out like a long cloth bag, slowly sliding into the sea at the stern of the fishing boat as it moves forward.
Ye Yuan did not sense the situation under the sea. These operations were just to familiarize the crew with the work process.
The fishing boat moved forward for more than an hour, and Ye Yuan began to lead the crew to raise the net. As the fishing net slowly emerged from the sea, a small bag of fish appeared in front of everyone.
Ye Yuan could see that these crew members were very excited. After all, this was the first time he had caught fish in his life. However, the fish caught in this net were not very good. They were all about 1 meter long barracuda. Ye Yuan had also caught this kind of fish before. The value is average. This net only weighs 1,800 catties, which is not a good harvest.
As the bottom rope was untied, the barracudas were piled on the deck. The crew was sorting different fish. Ye Yuan did not help, but just watched from the side, occasionally reminding them of the types of fish.
Everyone got started quickly. This continued for several nets, and the crew members were all familiar with the work of fishermen.
When Ye Yuan saw that it was almost done, he did not continue to lower the net, but directly ordered Ding Yi to sail towards the destination at full speed.
Ye Yuan already had a plan before going to sea this time.
This trip to sea can be called an ocean voyage, and the destination is the distant Sea of Okhotsk.
The Sea of Okhotsk is a marginal sea in the northwest Pacific Ocean.
The longest length from north to south is 2,460 kilometers, and the longest width from east to west is 1,480 kilometers, covering 1.583 million square kilometers.
The coastline is relatively straight, with a total length of 10,460 kilometers. Sherekhov Bay, Ude Bay, Tai Bay, Akademy Bay, etc.
The sea water is shallow in the north and deep in the south, with an average depth of 821 meters and a deepest depth of 3,521 meters, with a water capacity of 1.365 million cubic kilometers.
To reach the Sea of Okhotsk, the "Yusui" needs to pass through the Yellow Sea of China and the Sea of Japan.
No one on the boat had any objections to Ye Yuan's decision. After all, Ye Yuan was the captain, and it was he who decided where to go fishing.
The Sea of Okhotsk can also be considered a continental shelf sea, but it is completely different from the Yellow Sea, which is also a continental shelf sea.
The continental shelf area of the Sea of Okhotsk only accounts for a small part of the seabed area. In addition, there are two deep-water basins downstream of the Sea of Okhotsk, which makes the seabed of the Sea of Okhotsk deeper.
Because earthquakes often occur on the seabed of the Sea of Okhotsk, the mineral content of the Sea of Okhotsk is high and there are more nutrients in the seawater, which is more conducive to the reproduction of marine life.
Therefore, the Sea of Okhotsk has very rich fishery support, and various cold zone fish live here. There are countless salmon, trout, cod, and flounder.
And there are also many marine animals here. Some whales, sea lions, walruses and other mammals also use this place as a breeding base.
As the "Waterlord" sailed closer and closer to the Sea of Okhotsk, the crew began to feel the temperature gradually dropping.
Ye Yuan was well prepared before coming out. The crew members all put on their prepared jackets and stood on the deck.
Ye Yuan moved his body and felt that the sea crab he was looking for was already on the bottom of the sea.
"Brothers, get moving and put down crab pots."
"okay!"
The crew members replied in unison.
Ye Yuan specially customized a batch of crab pots for this trip. The crew used some fish with low economic value that they had just caught not long ago as bait, hung them in the crab pots and threw them to the bottom of the sea.
Ding Yi drove the fishing boat, adjusted the speed of the boat, and drove in the southeast direction. Ye Yuan stood on the deck and put his senses into the seabed.
"Squad leader, what do you mean the boss told us to put down a crab pot? There are crabs down here? But how did he know it without looking at the radar?"
At the stern of the boat, Ma Hua asked Yu Hongbo in a low voice while placing crab pots.
Yu Hongbo glared at Ma Hua: "This is on the ship. We can do whatever the captain says. Where does all this nonsense come from?"
Not to mention Ma Hua, everyone on the boat wanted to know why Ye Yuan set up a crab pot. Are there more crabs here?
At this time, Ye Yuan was in a very good mood.
His goal here has been found, which is to find snow crabs.
Snow crab has many names. It is called Matsuba crab in Japan, and it is called Queen crab in Canada and Europe.
It is a large crab that lives in the deep sea. Its carapace is about 20cm wide and its carapace is triangular. It is a type of spider crab.
Its crab legs are particularly long, and some male snow crabs can reach 70cm in length when they open their legs. In terms of appearance, it looks very similar to a king crab, so many people affectionately call it the queen crab.
It is also a very delicious crab, and it is also the largest crab resource in the entire Blue Star.
Although the resources are huge, if you want to eat this kind of crabs in China, you basically have to import them.
Ye Yuan's idea is to catch some and put them in his own space. The Sea of Okhotsk has a large amount of top-quality seafood. If he doesn't get them into his space, he will be sorry for his trip to the sea this time.
It took everyone more than two hours to release all the crab pots on the deck into the sea.
After throwing in the crab pots, everyone ran back to the cabin. The temperature on the Sea of Okhotsk was at least 20 degrees lower than on Blue Island. Everyone was already very cold due to the cold sea breeze, so everyone ran back to the cabin to blow it. Air conditioning.
Ye Yuan had already asked Gong Hongzhuang to make hot pot for everyone. Hot pot is the best food to keep out the cold.
Everyone was eating hot pot and chatting, talking about the Japanese sea which is relatively close to here.
Several of them were from the navy and were relatively familiar with the division of sea areas. Ye Yuan also learned some common sense through chatting.
Many people think that the Sea of Japan belongs to Japan, but it is not.
The Waguo Sea, known as the Whale Sea in ancient China, is the largest marginal sea in the northwest Pacific. Its eastern boundary is Sakhalin Island and the Waguo Islands from the north; its western boundary is the Far East region of the Eurasian continent; its southern boundary It's the Bangguo Peninsula.
Due to the special hydrological characteristics of the Waguo Sea, its ability to treat pollutants is limited. A large amount of floating objects and domestic garbage from the Bang Kingdom flowed into the Wa Kingdom Sea, causing irreparable damage to the coastal environment and aquatic ecology.
In addition, the radioactive materials discarded by Saudi Arabia have a great impact on the deep sea environment. Saudi Arabia has carried out excessive oil exploitation in the Japanese waters, and its oil leakage has also created hidden dangers for the Japanese maritime environment.
As a result, what was originally a paradise for fish has now become a place with very few fish resources.
The place where Ye Yuan and the others are now is where the Sea of Okhotsk and the Sea of Japan meet, and the crew members are worried about the fish catch here.
After talking to this point, the crew members all turned to look at Ye Yuan.
