Chapter 353: Deep Sea Bigeye Snapper School

"Look, what is that?" Liang Xiaoyu also saw it. Why was there light on the sea without moonlight?

The other boatmen also looked in the direction Liang Xiaoyu pointed.

Han Xiaorui's gaze has now shifted to Xiaodai's body.

When Han Xiaorui saw clearly what it was, she was shocked. It turned out to be a deep-sea fish, the big-eyed chicken.

The scientific name is bigeye snapper, a fish of the family Bigeye snapper in the order Perciformes, also known as bigeye and bigeye lotus.

The body is oblong and relatively flat; the mouth is large, with an inclined or nearly vertical mouth; the eyes are even larger, with a diameter of about 1/2 of the head length; the maxilla is wide, and both jaws, vomer and palatine bones have velvety teeth; the edge of the preoperculum is finely serrated, with strong spines at the corners. The whole body is red, with yellow spots between the dorsal, anal and pelvic fin membranes.

With eyes this big, they should be living more than 500 meters below the water. How come they suddenly came to the surface?

However, Han Xiaorui didn't care about that anymore and said quickly, "Go over there. That bright area might be a school of fish."

Wu Mengyue nodded. "Those with this color are all valuable fish. Based on my experience, it's probably a bigeye snapper."

Han Xiaorui was stunned. She needed Xiaodai's help to get closer to find out, but she didn't expect Wu Mengyue to find out based on her experience.

"I'll tell Sister Shui to collect the trawl nets and ask the other two boats to come over. Everyone will surround the area and cast the nets. Everyone should quickly take out the fishing nets and adjust the net lifting machine."

After hearing Han Xiaorui's arrangements, everyone started working in an orderly manner.

Han Xiaorui told Chen Yishui about her and Wu Mengyue's judgment. Chen Yishui took a careful look through the telescope and immediately drove the boat over.

Han Xiaorui took the intercom and said, "Uncle Qi, hurry over there and prepare the fishing net. The fish are on the upper layer. They are probably bigeye snappers. Cast the net to catch them."

Hearing this, Qi Heng picked up the telescope, had someone collect the net, and drove the boat forward, discovering the bright area. "Okay, I see. As long as there are so many fish, they are all valuable."

Han Xiaorui nodded, "Yes, I'll call Uncle Wu."

"Okay, Xiao Han, just take care of your own boat. Lao Wu and I are both experienced captains, so don't worry about us." Qi Heng said with a smile.

"I believe Uncle Qi." Han Xiaorui said with a smile, hung up the intercom, contacted Wu Guangfu again, and said the same thing.

Wu Guangfu over there has already discovered it and rushed over.

Fortunately, there are three fishing nets on each boat, which is what Han Xiaorui requested. Now they come in handy when encountering upper-level fish.

The three ships formed a triangle around the school of fish on the sea, and also had to pay attention to the reefs to avoid running aground.

When they arrived at the location, the boatmen cast the nets and pulled them up with the net-pulling machine. Chen Yishui drove the boat while Wu Mengyue operated the net-pulling machine.

The other three sisters, Tang, Yun and Lan, who were the best at casting nets, cast big and round nets and caught a lot of fish.

This net carries at least four or five hundred kilograms of catch.

The net was quickly untied and almost all of it was found to be bigeye snappers, of a relatively simple variety but of varying sizes.

"Oh, it's really a bigeye snapper. This fish is very expensive." Liang Xiaoyu said as she sorted them.

Han Xiaorui also saw it, "Sister Mengyue's judgment is correct, those bright lights are emitted from the eyes of the big-eyed snapper."

Han Xiaorui wanted to squat down to help sort, but Liang Xiaoyu stopped her, "Xiaorui, it's getting dark, there's water on the deck now, go back to the cabin quickly, don't stand here."

"That's right, owner, please go over there quickly, don't stay here, we are afraid of bumping into you. We can finish this little job."

Everyone else was sorting the fish, just one net after another, but there were too many to sort them all.

Han Xiaorui decided immediately, "Don't sort by size, just put them in a basket, put them in the cold storage, and then sort them out when we get to the shore."

Everyone was too busy to handle it. "Okay, let's do this first."

The fish in the sea wait for no one, especially those like this, which float on the surface of the water for a short time. Seize the time now, throw in one more bowl and catch one more net.

This net basically catches about three to four hundred kilograms of fish, and they are the familiar bigeye snappers.

Han Xiaorui was "driven" into the cabin by everyone. She used the walkie-talkie to direct Qi Heng and Wu Guangfu to steer the boat, trying their best to control the boat and get closer to the school of fish.

Qi Heng and Wu Guangfu were very excited now. They had never seen so many fish floating on the sea.

According to Han Xiaorui's instructions, the boatmen set sail and cast nets to catch fish.

The male boatmen are very strong, and some of them complain about the slow speed of the net-lifting machine.

So a few people were assigned to pull it up manually.

Although it was very strenuous, they did catch more fish than Han Xiaorui.

Chen Yishui also found that the speed of the net-lifting machine was slow, and worried that the fish would run away. "Xiao Rui, in fact, two nets are enough for the net-lifting machine. The other net can be cast and pulled manually."

Han Xiaorui refused directly, "Although this can help us catch more fish, it is very energy-consuming."

"So what if it takes effort? As a boatman, how can you not spend effort? Just listen to me!" Chen Yishui said, "The fish is right in front of us, let's catch it first."

There is no reason to just watch a school of fish and not catch any fish just to save energy.

With Chen Yishui's order, Sister Tang and others cast the net, and then the four of them pulled the net up together.

When the fishing net is about to leave the water, two more people are added, and everyone shouts and works together to drag the fishing net onto the fishing boat.

The net-lifting machines were also not idle, still pulling the nets at their fastest speed.

As time went on, the fish's area became smaller and smaller until it finally disappeared.

Han Xiaorui looked at the time and found that two hours had passed.

Everyone was so tired that they sat down on the ground, gasping for breath.

There is no time to tidy up the deck at this moment, just take a rest first.

Although they were very tired, everyone roughly estimated that they had just caught more than 20,000 kilograms of bigeye snapper, and they were immediately beaming with joy.

Liu Huamei stood up and said, "Is everyone tired and hungry now? I'll go get something to eat!"

After hearing this, everyone felt their stomachs and found that they were indeed hungry.

If you exert too much effort, you will easily feel hungry.

When Liu Huamei arrived in the kitchen, Han Xiaorui was standing next to the refrigerator, wondering what to do.

"Xiao Rui, hurry up and get out! There are so many corners in the kitchen, it would be bad if it hits your stomach."

Han Xiaorui smiled and said, "It's okay, I can control my body! You ran to help just now, and now your hands are shaking from tiredness. Now when I cook, my hands holding the knife will also shake constantly."

Liu Huamei's hands are indeed shaking a little now. "Boil a pot of water, add brown sugar, soak osmanthus, and some ginger. Drinking this can drive away the cold."

"I brought a lot of crab shells for a midnight snack today. They are still crispy! Paired with brown sugar, ginger and cinnamon tea, they are just delicious."

Han Xiaorui heard Liu Huamei's arrangement and felt that she couldn't intervene at all. "Okay, I'll listen to you."

By the time the midnight snack was ready, everyone had come over to thank us and were cleaning the deck.

Later, Liang Xiaoyu ate snacks and drank brown sugar ginger tea. "Sister Shui, this is the first time I see fish floating on the water. Why is that?"
