Golden Fishery

   Another reason why king crabs do not belong to the crab category is that real crabs are sprinters. Once they act on the seabed, they will run fast. King crabs are different. They are walkers, walking leisurely, and have a taste of a gentleman under the sea.

  But if anyone really thinks that they are gentlemen, they can only say that they are blind. The king crab has a very sturdy temperament and his appetite is very greedy!

  These carapace with small pots and big lids like to live in groups, and they will nest together when they hunt. If they are stared at, even the small sharks have to kneel. Once they are surrounded, wait to be dismembered.

  In addition, looking at the appearance of king crabs, you can know their fierceness. These guys are covered with sharp barbs on their carapace and legs. They are born with soft hedgehog armor. There are few natural enemies in the seas of the North and South Poles.

  On the deck, Qin Shiou conveyed the fishing task, and the twenty-odd fisherman got busy.

   "Old Geng, you will be optimistic about the four of you later, don't do anything, let Shaq lead the team in the first two rounds of work, you just need to take a good look, understand?" Qin Shiou asked specially.

As mentioned earlier, fishing for king crabs is a very dangerous job. Death is not uncommon. Injuries are more common. If all members of a crab boat are healthy and no one is injured during the crab fishing season, it can be said. God blessed it.

This is not an exaggeration. The king crab fishing season of each season is usually only four or five days from the beginning to the end. During these four or five days, the work of the crab boats is intense and heavy, and the fishermen’s daily rest time does not exceed five hours. .

  Exhaustion and drowsiness, the result is that it is difficult to concentrate and it is easy to have problems.

  From the moment you step onto the crab boat. The fishermen are always in danger.

  The fishermen in the farewell town are all such veterans, even if they have not done this kind of work, they have heard of it, so Qin Shiou nodded and said that after the official start of work, everyone cheered up.

  The king crab lives in the deep sea. To catch them, you need a stronger existence than other fishing equipment, that is, the super crab cage.

  This crab trap has a flat cylindrical shape, and its mouth is about two and a half meters in diameter. The whole body is a solid steel bar, weighing a full 300 kilograms, otherwise it would not be able to sink into the deep sea bottom.

  In order to make reasonable use of the space of the fishing boat, these crab cages were stacked high, and the steel monsters more than ten meters high were stacked together, and they were tied very firmly and tightly. There were double confinement with thick fingers and thick arm cables.

  Geng Junjie with four Chinese soldiers watching curiously, Qin Shiou said, “If you have any questions, please mention it. I need you to be the best fisherman in the shortest time, understand?”

  A young man said: "Boss, I want to ask, are these crab traps tied so tightly?"

Shaq, who was next to Qin Shiou, answered this question: "Man, you have to know that the North Atlantic is a grotesque girl. October to December is the time when the storms are the strongest. Once January, it’s The wind and waves will be much smaller. We did not encounter a particularly big wave along the way. This is God bless us."

"But normally, biologists set a fishing quota based on the growth of king crabs each year, and the government provides a crab fishing period, which is in October, which means that the crab boat will go out to sea when the wind is the strongest. "

   "Have you ever encountered a sea breeze of 100 kilometers per hour? Have you ever traveled through a ten-meter high wave?"

  Geng Junjie shook his head, but the other four nodded, taking it for granted, “When I was on the fleet before. Such sea winds and huge waves are very common.”

  Except for Geng Junjie. The other four people are all retired navies. This is the first thing Qin Shiou considers apart from his character when recruiting. The advantage of naval soldiers is that they can work on the ship immediately. Will not get seasick.

  For fishermen, the most terrible thing is seasickness. Once you get seasick, don't talk about work, and whether you can go back alive when you travel to the sea is a matter of opinion.

   Hearing what they said, Shaq laughed: "Then you understand, right? When a ship is traveling through a ten-meter-high wave, it is not too strong to tie the things on it."

  The sea monster commanded two calm fishermen to untie the ropes, then the crane moved, and the crab traps were lowered one by one.

  There will inevitably be strong winds on the sea, and the Melon Princess is swaying rhythmically. After these crab cages are released, they seem to become beasts that escaped from the cage under the push of the waves, full of lethality.

"When putting these big guys weighing 300 kilograms into the sea, you must be very careful not only to avoid your hands being caught in the crab cage, but also to prevent falling into the cage. I think you must not be willing to do this. The first big crab, right?" Shaq said instructed.

Several people burst into laughter, and the sea monster heard the laughter pointing at them and warned: "Don't laugh, you think Shaq is joking? Fack! Just seven years ago, my cousin Bruno was **** arrested. The crab cage is stuck, do you know what the result is? When we fished the crab cage again, his heart was full of ice!"

A fisherman next to    patted the sea monster on the shoulder and whispered, “Bruno is living well in heaven, don’t think about it.”

  Geng Junjie was silent for a while, and went up to grab the sea monster’s shoulder and said in fluent English: "Sorry man, our fault, we will take this job seriously. It's scary, isn't it?"

  The sea monster smiled reluctantly, and said, "But don't be afraid of it."

  As long as you deal with it carefully, fishing for king crabs is not that dangerous. There is no need for Qin Shiou to take risks. This is one of the reasons why he decided to go to Greenland in January. The sea climate in November and December is too bad.

  One by one crab cages fell into the ocean in tandem, filled with delicious mackerel, herring and minced cod meat. This is a delicacy for the greedy king crabs. They absolutely cannot resist this temptation.

  After the crab cage was put down, Shaq and the sea monster each took a team of people to start the second task, which was to use a mop to carefully dry every part of the deck and stern.

  It’s noon now, but the outside temperature of the ship is still ten degrees below zero. If it’s night, the temperature will drop to twenty degrees below zero.

  What does this mean? It means that the howling waves roll over onto the ship, as long as the waves fall, there will be an extra layer of ice on the ship!

  The ice layer will not only cause smoothness, but also increase the load of the ship, which can easily cause the crab boat to capsize.

"I think you can see that the waves come from one direction. Once a thick layer of ice hangs on one side of the hull, then our only hope is the coast guard responsible for maritime rescue work." Ke explained.

  Qin Shiou is also on the battlefield. It is not that he wants to take the lead, but that he has to exercise. In this environment, it is not enough to rely on air conditioning to keep warm, and exercise more to promote blood circulation. (To be continued~^~)
