Golden Fishery

  1609. The day when sea cucumbers were caught

Qin Shiou mainly raises two kinds of sea cucumbers here, white ginseng and Arctic ginseng. The former grows fast and fleshy, but Arctic ginseng is better in terms of nutrition. The fishing age of wild Arctic ginseng is generally more than ten years, and ordinary sea cucumbers are cultivated for one year. It will be fished in two years, and there is a huge gap in value between the two.

These sea cucumbers were planted in the second year after he came to the fishing ground. During this period, he continued to input the sea **** energy. Whether it was white ginseng or Arctic ginseng, the growth was good. However, Qin Shiou led the team mainly to fish white ginseng, and then let the Arctic ginseng. It is a year long.

  Of course, if you encounter Arctic ginseng that grows large enough, you have to catch it. Anyway, as long as it grows to the limit, it won’t grow much anymore.

The seawater temperature of Newfoundland fishing grounds is not suitable for cultivating sea cucumbers and abalones. Ordinary sea cucumbers will stop preying and hibernate below five or six degrees Celsius. They are very delicate. They will sleep in summer when the temperature is high, and will hibernate when the temperature is low. They will not grow during this period. It is not suitable for fishing.

  After Shaq issued the order to catch sea cucumbers, the fishermen began to get busy. Only senior fishermen could go to sea to catch sea cucumbers. Later more than 20 fishermen, including Geng Junjie, were responsible for logistics work. They could not go to sea.

  Fishing sea cucumbers is hard work. In the fishing season, you have to stay underwater for about ten hours a day. Prolonged water pressure and soaking can cause fishermen to suffer from various joint diseases and lung diseases.

  However, income is directly proportional to expenditure. A sea cucumber fishing season is generally one to two months. In such a short period of time, a fisherman can harvest 50,000 to 80,000 Canadian dollars, which is higher than the average annual income of white-collar workers.

  But. There are still few people willing to go into the water to catch sea cucumbers, and young people cannot suffer this crime.

  Shaq put on a diving suit. This is a heavy diving suit, just like an iron can. The person is hiding inside. There is an oxygen pipe connecting the diving suit and the oxygen generator on the boat. There is also an iron sinker on the diving suit to drop the person to the bottom of the sea.

  Wearing a diving suit. He said with emotion: "Now there are fewer and fewer people willing to catch sea cucumbers, and there are fewer excellent fishermen. When my father was young, he could catch more than 2,000 pounds of sea cucumbers a day. Now we can’t do it. A thousand pounds is amazing."

  Qin Shiou had to take the lead. He also put on a heavy diving suit and said with a smile: "That's not bad. One thousand pounds a day, the income is two thousand Canadian dollars, and it comes down to sixty thousand yuan a month."

  Although fishermen are employed in the fishing grounds, when doing a lot of work, he still has to give them extra rewards, such as fishing for bluefin tuna, and the fishermen who catch them get dividends; another example is fishing sea cucumbers. Fishermen also get dividends, basically a pound is a little more than a Canadian dollar.

  Qin Shiou treats his senior fishermen more sincerely, and the treatment is doubled. The fishermen can get two Canadian dollars, which is much better than working outside.

Sea cucumbers are only expensive when they are dried, but the high-quality sea cucumbers produced by Daqin Fishery, even if they are instant fresh sea cucumbers, are very expensive. A pound of plump and plump can sell for more than 100 US dollars, so he is willing to give the fisherman more dividends. .

  Geng Junjie and others looked at the senior fisherman enviously. Someone asked if he could follow the water to see it. They can endure hardship. Going abroad is to make money, so I don't want to let go of this opportunity to make money.

  Qin Shiou shook his head and said, "I will produce a batch of sea cucumbers in winter. Next time, let’s see how to do it this time. I usually practice diving, which is not fun. Guys, it’s dangerous!"

  There are almost two harvesting seasons for sea cucumbers in a year. Spring is in April and May. The water temperature in Canada is relatively low. May is the peak season for sea cucumber harvesting. June can also be carried out. Autumn harvesting of sea cucumbers is generally from the end of October to mid-December.

There are two fishermen on a fishing boat. They are in charge of a sea area. This is to prevent multiple people from entanglement of oxygen hoses in the underground sea at the same time. Qin Shiou and the bull are on the same boat. The oxygen plane began to work booming, and they were ready to go into the water.

  The bull moved his joints to make his body heat up. He said, "BOSS, how about this place we chose? I am going to earn 4,000 yuan today. Yes, I will go down to catch 2,000 pounds of sea cucumbers!"

  Qin Shiou looked around and said: "According to the breath-seeking technique of the Five Elements Dragon-seeking Technique, we have sea cucumbers below, and we can catch them later."

  The habitats of sea cucumbers are distributed regularly. Because the Newfoundland fishing grounds are very cold in winter, they will gather into the warm water channels under the sea. There are several warm currents in the fishing grounds, and the fishermen know how wide they are.

  In addition, sea cucumbers like to live on reefs or corals, so as long as these conditions are combined and filtered, it is easy to find sea cucumber gathering places.

  Hanging the sea cucumber fishing net bag on their waist, Qin Shiou and the bull put on helmet-like masks while biting the oxygen tube. After giving each other thumbs up, they sat on the side of the boat and turned their backs to the sea. Gudong suddenly fell back into the sea.

As they sink, the oxygen pipes on the ship meander and slide down like small snakes. There is also a fisherman on the ship who is in charge of logistics work. When he sees that the oxygen pipe may be knotted, he will quickly open it to ensure that oxygen can enter smoothly. Underwater worker mouth.

The seafloor selected by Qin Shiou is on the southern edge of the coral reef. There is a warm current passing by. The sea cucumbers here are not only large in number, but also extremely fat. Normally, sea cucumbers can be processed into dried products at least three years long, and they need to grow up. OK.

  The bottom of the sea is clean sea sand. Some colorful parrotfish go in and out of the corals, their small mouths are constantly squirming, and sand is excreted from their bodies.

  This is the reason why Qin Shiou raises a lot of parrot fish. They can turn dead coral reefs into fine sea sand.

  After entering the water, the bull looked at the dreamlike coral reef. He was a little obsessed for a while. Instead of directly fishing for sea cucumbers, he walked along the edge of the coral reef, reaching out to touch the coral reef from time to time.

  There were some sea cucumbers in the place where Qin Shiou fell, but he looked at it and found that it was mainly Arctic ginseng, which was a bit small, so there was no need to fish.

  Small sea cucumbers are not very interesting to fish. Not only are they small in size, but also because they are so loose at this time that they cannot be processed into dried sea cucumbers. If they insist on selling them, they can only be processed into instant sea cucumbers. Such instant sea cucumbers are not only nutritionally inferior, but the taste is also not ideal, and no one in the market wants to buy it.

   Released the seagod consciousness and wandered around. Qin Shiou immediately found a large group of sea cucumbers. He swam over and took a look. First he saw a large sea cucumber with a fat body and a snow-white appearance.

  Although the name of white ginseng carries ‘white’, in fact their body color has nothing to do with whiteness. This white sea cucumber is an individual that mutates in its natural state, albino sea cucumber.

  This white sea cucumber is very fat, Qin Shiou stretched out his hand to pick it up, and the bull nearby saw it wave his hand vigorously. (To be continued~^~)
