Golden Fishery

  The soldiers were transforming the drone here, and Qin Shiou took the fishermen to get ready to work.

  The plan for a year is spring. Raising fish and opening a fish farm is the same as planting land and opening a farm. Spring is the golden season, and many fish species are broadcasted into the fishery at this time to start breeding.

  However, the fishery resources of Daqin Fishery are already rich enough, and there is no need to stock fry by hand. What needs to be done is to put in shellfish and cultivate shellfish.

There are some shellfish in the fishery, including scallops, etc., but the quantity is not large enough and the output cannot keep up with the market demand. Qin Shiou must expand the scale of farming. He does not need to buy shellfish from outside. The fishery started breeding some shellfish last year. Have grown into strong mother shells.

  The shellfish cultivated in the fishery is called Atlantic bay scallop. Its processing efficiency is very high, and almost the whole body is treasure.

  The acupuncture muscle of the bay scallop can be processed into frozen fresh pillars and cans, and the mantle can be processed into shell edges, which can be used as fresh bait for both edible and shrimp. The two shells can be used as attachment stems for shellfish seedlings, and they are also an indispensable raw material for the shellfish carving industry. They are the first choice for scallop cultivation in countries along the Atlantic Ocean.

  Furthermore, although the bay scallop belongs to the warm water type, it has a wide temperature range. The lower limit of temperature resistance is -1℃, and the upper limit is 34℃. It stops growing until it is below 5°C, and it can be farmed even in fishing grounds in the North Atlantic.

The role of   Fengshou began to unfold. In the morning, Qin Shiou brought five veterans such as Shake and Bull, accompanied by five newcomers to Geng Junjie, and a group of more than ten people were ready to go to sea.

  On the beach, the sea monsters are also busy with the remaining fishermen. Both sides have the same purpose, that is, to catch the seashells cultivated last year.

  There are two methods for shellfish fishing. One is manual fishing, and the other is mechanical fishing. Mechanical fishing is very simple. Put the shellfish harvester into the seabed. Just let it work and collect shellfish.

  The shellfish harvester used in Daqin Fishery is the SP-12 shellfish harvester produced by Siemens Fisheries. It is very suitable for fishing Atlantic bay scallops. It can harvest 500-800 kg per hour and the damage rate does not exceed 3-5%.

  In addition, there is also the method of propeller trawling. Because many scallops are hidden in the sand, the sand is stirred up with a propeller, and there are fishing nets around it. On the bottom of the sea, the shellfish float with the sand and eventually fall into these fishing nets.

   What is interesting is manual fishing. It has four methods. The sea monster is explaining to the remaining five soldiers and new fishermen.

  Qin Shiou originally wanted to get on the boat and go to sea. But the sea monster said that they were not enough, so he stayed with two veteran fishermen to help pick shellfish manually.

  Manual scallop harvesting and mechanical scallop harvesting have specific applications. Beaches without water after low tide are suitable for manual scallop harvesting, so sea monsters need so many manpower.

  Spring is the season with the most drastic changes in sea water, after the tide recedes from the beach in the early morning. Exposing the wet sea bottom, slices of kelp, seaweed, water plants and the like are exposed, emitting a green luster under the sun, which looks even more springy than the land.

  Looking at the vast expanses of submarine pastures, the sea monster sighed, and said, “There are both advantages and disadvantages. With these things hidden, collecting mother shells is much more difficult.”

  Bay scallops are hermaphrodites, they will complete the task of reproducing offspring by themselves, so all the scallops collected can be used as mother scallops. Just. Scallops are filter-feeding animals. Have the ability to choose the size of the food, but not the type.

  Their main food is organic debris, micro-particles suspended in seawater and plankton, such as diatoms, diflagellate algae, copepods, etc.; followed by algae spores and bacteria.

  Because their own exercise ability is not good, they will slowly move closer to the environment that is as consistent as possible with the food composition. And where do they have the most food in the environment? That is in the submarine pasture.

  So, most scallops are concentrated in or near seaweeds. In this way, to dig scallops, you have to go through seaweeds and water plants, which increases the workload.

  In addition, among the four kinds of artificially collected scallops, the first and simplest one is to step on the beach surface with both feet, use the feeling of the soles of the feet to find the scallops and dig them out.

  In this way, with seaweed and aquatic plants, it is inevitable that there will be errors in the soles of human feet. Some scallops hidden deeper or smaller are not noticed.

  Fortunately, the senior fisherman, with strong skills and experience, can feel the presence of scallops after carefully walking by. Novices can't do it, they follow the old fishermen as they step on and retreat, except for the very conspicuous ones, they can hardly notice.

  However, the Bing brothers are also very hard. They took off their shoes and walked barefoot on the beach, so that they feel more acute and it is not easy to miss the scallops.

  Qin Shiou couldn't notice the scallops either. After all, there was no water here and the Seagod consciousness could not function. So he took off his shoes, and then felt so **** cold, and put on his shoes decisively, so he didn't suffer the crime.

  The sea monster laughed and said, “Walking through this submarine pasture, there is no water and weeds in front. We can use other methods to collect scallops. That’s easy.”

When there was no seaweed or waterweed, the sea monster and others brought the prepared iron planer and iron rake. After inserting it into the beach to a depth of about 20 cm, they pulled the iron rake and leaned back, so that it would turn out after hitting the scallop. .

  A group of fishermen chanted chants and dragged the long iron rake, like a plow, and scallops were constantly rolling out. Qin Shiou held a long clip in his hand, and could pick up a scallop with a pinch of the handle.

  This work is very tiring. After all, it is still rare to see a fierce man who can pull up willows like Lu Zhishen. The fishermen sweated profusely after working for a while, and two groups of people came to work in reverse.

It’s up to Ivorson to do this kind of work. He can be used by four or five people alone. He has changed many people. He hasn't gone to rest. His pocket is full of small cakes and cookies and so on. Throw it in your mouth.

  Qin Shiou looked at it for a while and was stunned, and asked: "If we use an ATV to pull the plow, what do you think?"

   The sea monster shook his head and said: "That's not possible, the power of the ATV is uneven, and there are mud pits on the beach wherever possible, and it will be troublesome for the wheels of the ATV to sink."

  The fishermen took turns pulling the ploughs, and the speed was very fast. Qin Shiou quickly brought people to cellphone piles of scallops.

There are two conventional methods for collecting shellfish. One is to use their piling habit to drive a wooden pile at intervals in the growing area. After a certain period of time, these scallops will be concentrated in a range of about one meter around the wooden pile. Inside, just collect around the stakes at that time.

  But this applies to general-scale and small-scale aquaculture. If the scale is too large, there will be too many stakes to be driven into the entire fishery, and fishing will not be possible in the future.

  The fishing ground has not been piling, so this method is not applicable.

  The last method is to catch scallops, which is suitable for entertainment and small batch fishing. (To be continued~^~)
