Golden Fishery
Vol 2 Chapter 1427: . A group of king crabs (Happy Thanksgiving, brothers and sisters)
Although the king crabs are called crabs, they are not classified as crabs in terms of scientific classification. They can only be said to be crustaceans-real crabs have four pairs of legs plus a pair of crab claws, and the joints of the foot joints. It is curved forward, while the king crab has only three pairs of legs and a pair of crab claws, and their feet are curved backwards.
But in reality, no one cares. Fishermen regard them as crabs. Anyway, they have carapace, crab claws, articulated limbs, and their appearance is exactly the same as crabs. Why do they have to classify them extra?
This crustacean has a beautiful taste, a high rate of meat production, and a large size. It has always been known as the king of crabs and is an important economic seafood.
Qin Shiou discovered this piece of king crabs in large numbers: they are found everywhere in the deep sea 100 kilometers west of Attu Island, and the number is surprising.
This also surprised Daguan Qin. The price of king crabs is one of the most expensive crabs. It is even more precious than the treasure crabs he specially bought from the North Pacific. Moreover, this thing is big and can be caught in a net. Only pay back.
So, whether in Alaska or Greenland, as long as the fishermen find them, they will kill them. I don’t know why there are so many stocks here.
In this way, Daguan Qin's mind became active, and the king crab was full of attraction to all fishermen.
In fact, he also thought about breeding king crabs at the beginning. Unfortunately, this crab is too fierce, and the reproduction speed is amazing. Each female crab can produce nearly 10,000 live small crabs every year. Once introduced into the Daqin fishing grounds, it will cause an ecological disaster, such as lobsters, tongue soles, treasure crabs, and geoducks. Then wait to make the food!
The most obvious example is the current Antarctic.
Decades ago, I don’t know if it was a Soviet oceanographer or a Norwegian or American oceanographer. They brought a batch of Alaskan king crab samples to the Antarctic. As a result, these crabs escaped from artificial breeding and got into the cold waters of Antarctica.
Then, during the recent Antarctic expedition, the French scientific research team was shocked to discover that there are a large number of king crabs living under the Antarctic shelf. After a detailed inspection by various countries, it was found that there were millions of them!
If this discovery is in the waters of Alaska, the American fishermen will be crazy, and the result will be in Antarctica!
This is terrible. Multinational scientific research teams have predicted that in the next ten to twenty years, the Antarctic waters will encounter an ecological catastrophe.
Even worse, the United Nations has regulations. No matter which country, it is not allowed to go to Antarctica to catch fish, so these king crabs not only have no natural enemies in Antarctica, but also no human beings.
The scientific names of king crabs in Antarctica are called Alaska king crabs, or golden king crabs. Their ancestors came from Alaska. The scientific name of these king crabs in Greenland waters is called red king crabs, and both sides are equally precious.
The king crab is an ice water creature. It is a rare species that can survive in extreme environments such as the Antarctic and Arctic. The catches produced in this environment are delicious, nutritious and pollution-free regardless of the species.
As the Seagod consciousness progressed to the surroundings, he gradually understood the reason why there were so many king crabs in this sea area.
is very interesting, the seabed environment surrounding a large area of sea is very complicated. As we all know, king crabs live in deep waters, and deep waters generally have no reefs, so large ships can fish at will.
But this sea area is different. It has a circle of continuous reefs. It is estimated that this is the reason why the fishermen of Greenland did not kill the king crabs here.
Led by the sea **** consciousness. The Melon Princess can naturally enter and exit at will in this sea area.
Qin Shiou goes to find the sea monster and Shaq. Tell them there are red king crabs in this sea area.
The sea monster and Shaq, who were drinking hot coffee and chatting, were taken aback and asked, "Are you sure? Is it the discovery of the Five Elements Dragon Hunting Technique?"
Qin Shiou patted the chart behind them and said, “No, I found it from here, you see. Isn’t there a bright red label here? Isn’t there a red king crab?”
Shaq couldn’t laugh or cry, and said depressed: "But it’s not. BOSS, although this sea area is indeed marked in red on the map, we think it means dangerous sea area..."
Qin Shiou laughed and said, “I know, this sea area is considered to have a lot of reefs, isn’t it? But if you look at the previous Greenland fishing catch distribution map, the chart shows that king crabs have been produced around here, understand?”
Shaq and the sea monsters of course understand that the distribution of king crabs is regional. Since king crabs are abundant in the surrounding waters, they are naturally distributed near the location of this reef. Considering that because the sea is full of submerged reefs, there must not be many ships daring to enter, so naturally there are still rich resources of king crabs here.
"Our ship is too big, can we enter here?" The two hesitated a little.
Qin Shiou smiled and said: "Don't worry, leave this to me. With a captain like me leading the way, you will definitely not run into the reef. Now, what you have to consider is not safety, but whether our fishing quota is a bit small."
The fishing of king crabs is the same as bluefin tuna. You need to spend money to buy a fishing license. The government will give a fishing quota. Before the Melon Princess departs, all kinds of fishing licenses are available. The fishing license for red king crabs is 200 tons. .
This is an exaggerated quota. The total weight of king crabs produced in the waters of Alaska and Greenland each year is about 10,000 tons, of which Alaska is the main one, which can produce 8,000 tons, and the Greenland waters produce at most two to three thousand tons.
Therefore, when Qin Shiou asked Shaq to buy a 200-ton fishing license, he thought that it would be good to be able to catch one-tenth of the annual output of Greenland waters. He didn't expect to run into it as soon as he arrived in Greenland. A good start, I met such a large piece of king crab.
Deep-sea fishing is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world, and fishing for king crabs is one of the most dangerous in deep-sea fishing. The work-related death rate of Alaskan crab catchers is 50 times that of ordinary workers. As a result, an average of 1 crab catcher was killed every 7 days in the strait!
The climate in Greenland waters is much milder than that in Alaska, but there are also fisherman casualties every year.
Under the guidance of Qin Shiou, the Melon Princess, avoiding the criss-crossed reef, quickly appeared on top of the king crabs. Qin Shiou called all the fishermen for a meeting.
This time, together with the four newcomers brought by Geng Junjie and the ten fishermen recruited from the town, he brought out 22 fishermen in total, and the team was unprecedentedly large.
So, in Qin Shiou's expectation, the harvest this time was unprecedentedly great! (To be continued~^~)
