Golden Fishing Village

The harvest was not good during the day today. In addition to a big dragonfish, there were also some small fish scattered here and there. If this continues, this trip to sea will definitely be a loss.

But everyone on the boat was not panicking. They knew that with Ao Muyang leading the team, they would not have to worry about the harvest.

This time, taking advantage of the good sea conditions, the fishing boats moved away from the coast and entered the country's exclusive economic zone. The ocean here is deep, the water is clear, the underwater currents are rich, there are few fishing boats, and there are many fish, shrimp and crab resources.

Although the wind is not strong today, there are clouds during the day and overcast clouds at night. The night is relatively dark at this time.

Ao Muyang knew that there were saury in this area. They had fished in the Fuso Sea area before. He specifically looked at the ocean current map, went diving to see it, and then found a water area with similar currents to anchor, so that they could anchor at night. Fishing for saury.

The headlights were fully turned on, and the side of the ship was as bright as day. There were strong beams of light shining through the water into the sea, like snow-white swords, which was extremely magnificent.

He had seen saury before diving, so when the bright light appeared, saury would jump out in a steady stream.

These saury are not as fat as the ones caught in the Fuso Sea before, but when fresh, they are still slender, shiny and moist, and look good.

There is a small stove on the boat, so Lao Ao doesn't have to worry about things at night. Ao Daguo and Ao Qianwen will take the big guys to work, and he, as the leader, can go and rest.

The way he chose to rest was to have a late-night snack, and he moved a small stove out on the deck. The sea breeze blew in the winter night, and soon the coals were red.

Just pierce the delicious saury with a bamboo skewer and then slowly grill it on the stove.

Lu Wuji said with an unbearable look on his face: "Brother-in-law, just kill this fish if it's still alive. After all, it's a life. You still want to eat it. Don't you feel stressed?"

"No, do you have it? If you have it, don't eat it."

Lu Wuji added: "Brother-in-law, don't eat too much of this coal-roasted food. It has carcinogenic effects. It can lead to gastric cancer and intestinal cancer. It's terrible."

"Yeah, don't eat it."

Lu Wuyi said: "How is that possible? Of course I have to eat it."

Ao Muyang was puzzled: "In that case, why do you ask so many questions? Isn't this nonsense?"

Lu Wuji said: "No, I've been a little fat recently. I think I have to eat less, so I just asked some questions to stop myself from eating late night snacks."

At this point, he sighed: "The eggs are useless. Come on, brother-in-law, give me this skewer. This fish is the fattest. Does it still have roe? I really like eating fish roe."

"Drama queen!"

I caught saury in the evening, and at noon the next day, Ao Muyang encountered another large school of fish underwater.

Even the big fish in the fish school are like chopsticks, at most 10 centimeters in length, blue-gray, and translucent; the small ones are like toothpicks, milky white, almost transparent or translucent like milk sticks.

They swim against the surface of the water in a mighty way, and they are so densely packed that it makes your scalp feel tight.

This is noodle fish, also called jade fish. It is an inexpensive but delicious and nutritious fish.

Ao Muyang passed the news back, put down the small-eye fishing net, and began to intercept the fish.

When he returned to the boat, he saw the lowered fishing net and shook his head and said, "No, the mesh is too small. Let's increase the size."

Ao Daguo said nonchalantly: "Hey, Dragon Head, the noodle fish is so thin. If you add another size, you won't be able to catch anything. You don't know, this fish is slippery, even slipperier than a loach."

"That's right, Dragon Head, you have to use a small net. I know you think this Juehu net cannot be used, but it doesn't matter to the noodle fish. Noodle fish can only live for two or three years at most. They reproduce very quickly. We just use the Juehu net. This group will not be exterminated."

Ao Muyang shook his head and said no. Indeed, the group composition of this fish is simple, with the highest group age being only 3 years old. The annual occurrence fluctuates but not significantly.

However, he had read a piece of information stating that due to overexploitation of the remaining populations of spaghetti fish in the fishery in recent years and the destruction of young fish, their occurrence in spawning grounds in the north and west has dropped sharply year after year.

Seeing his insistence, Ao Daguo ordered to change the fishing net. He was a little regretful: "Actually, this noodle fish is only delicious because it is small. Coat it with egg liquid and fry it. Oops, tsk tsk."

He smacked his lips, and Ao Mudong smiled: "Okay, uncle Daguo, I'm going to make you cry with greed."

Lu Wuyi said angrily: "Who's the little deer and who's the little one? I'm a very big man, and I'm surprised that you call me a child. By the way, brother-in-law, do you want to have fried fish with noodles for lunch later?"

"Eat fried kids."

Noodle fish is a very interesting fish. They live on the sandy bottom of the sea in spring, autumn and winter. They like to lurk in the sand. Because of their long and slender body, they are difficult to find and catch.

But they are considered a cold-water species. In summer, when the water temperature reaches 20 degrees, they stop eating. They either dive in the fish sand and remain motionless, or migrate to the depths of the sea. When the water temperature drops in winter, they will migrate back.

Now Ao Muyang encountered such a population. The fishing net was thrown up, and when it was fished out, it was full of translucent and slender small fish twisting, which looked a bit penetrating.

However, no matter how many people infiltrate the fish, they are not as delicious as the fish. The fishermen are still quite happy to see the noodle fish on the boat.

Ao Muyang felt a little regretful. If possible, he would like to transfer these fish to his own fishing ground.

As a small fish species, noodle fish, also known as sand tuna, has a large and concentrated biomass and belongs to the zooplankton feeding habit. It is at the bottom of the food chain in the marine ecosystem. It is not only a collector of some environmental biological resources that large and small fish cannot use, but also an important bait for many large and medium-sized fish.

If there were a large group of noodle fish in the fishery, it would be perfect.

Unfortunately, this location is too far away from Brick Island, and it is not realistic to drag these fish over.

In this case, he couldn't help thinking that it would be great if he had another live fish transport ship to catch some fish and transport them to the fishery.

The fake live fish transport ship is quite high, and one ship costs tens of millions.

Ao Muyang will have to buy it sooner or later, because once the Brick Island fishery starts to produce in large quantities, it will have to supply a large amount of fry, and it will not be enough to rely on the natural reproduction of the fish school.

After two days at sea, the Big Dragon Head returned.

According to everyone, the ice compartment is not full yet, so they should continue to work at sea, otherwise the fuel cost of the round trip will be wasted.

Ao Muyang made a return plan based on the sea conditions. They are now in the deep sea, too far away from the land, and it will be dangerous if a strong wind comes.

If it is the Dragon Head, which is more resistant to wind and waves, he is willing to continue to travel at sea for two days, but not the Big Dragon Head. His parents' experience is a lesson that he can remember for the rest of his life. The young and old men on this ship are the pillars of many families.
