Golden Fishing Village

The fact that whales rushed to the beach to commit suicide is still an unsolved mystery in oceanography. Researchers have made many speculations, such as the signals sent by machines placed by humans on the seabed affecting their high-frequency sound waves, marine pollution, and predation mistakenly entering shallow water, etc.

If the problem of whale stranding off the coast of Longtou Village is just a problem, it is easy to deal with, but if it is linked to the previous incident of sea fish jumping onto the beach, it will be difficult to deal with.

Su Penghui comforted the two people and said that there was no connection between the two because the time span was too long. The incidents of yellow crucian carp and sea bass jumping onto the beach had occurred for more than a month, and there was no such incident during the Chinese New Year and the first month of the year.

This matter cannot be studied, but fortunately, another piece of evidence later supported the speculation related to predation: at the beginning of the spring flood, willow leaf fish passed through the sea off Hongyang Bay and went south to spawn.

Willow leaf fish is a small fish that does not grow up. Although it can grow to more than 20 centimeters, the most is still more than 10 centimeters in length. They are not well-known in themselves, but if you talk about their relatives, the sardines, they are famous.

Both capelin and smelt belong to the family Smelt and the genus Smelt, but the latter is mainly distributed in the temperate and cold waters of the North Pacific, while the former is distributed in the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans.

In comparison, capelin has a higher yield and is an important economic fish species in countries along the North Atlantic coast, such as Canada and Norway. The annual catch exceeds 500,000 tons, with the largest catch in spring and autumn.

Smelt is produced in the waters of Japan, South Korea and China. They are also very large, so the female fish with eggs is generally eaten. The belly of smelt caught in spring and autumn is full of fish eggs. Because its population base is large and its spawning energy is strong, eating female fish with eggs will not affect the stability of its population.

This kind of fish has a high yield and is not very valuable, but in fact they are very nutritious and taste good. They are a very high-quality seafood with a variety of eating methods. They can be braised, fried, or dried and grilled. No matter how they are eaten, they are very popular.

In addition to the good meat quality, another reason for their popularity is that the fish bones are small, and they can be eaten with the head after frying or grilling.

The reason for this is their small size. If the willow leaf fish grows to 20 centimeters long, it cannot be eaten like this. The fish bones of large fish are too hard and are not suitable for eating.

Willow leaf fish are small in size, so minke whales can prey on them. After Li Ji and Su Penghui found that the willow leaf fish fishing season had reached Hongyang Bay, they linked them with minke whales.

According to the discussion and speculation of the two, this minke whale family may have been attracted to the Hongyang Bay waters by the willow leaf fish school, but there are cables and related protection facilities and other submarine equipment installed on the seabed of Hongyang Bay.

Because of the powerful destructiveness of whales and other fish, shrimps and crabs, people usually install protection facilities in the area after installing equipment on the seabed, such as some high-frequency wave transmitters, to drive away the approaching fish, shrimps and crabs.

It should be that the head whale in the minke whale family was disturbed by high-frequency waves when diving deep, causing it to be confused for a while and swim towards the shore. The two whales behind followed it to the seaside.

This is a vicious cycle for whales. They wander toward the sea. Since the seabed along the coastline is flat, the high-frequency sound waves they emit cannot be responded to. They think there is no obstacle ahead and will continue to swim forward.

When they find that they are in a dangerous position, they will panic. This creates a new vicious cycle. Once the whales panic, they will rush forward with their heads down. So the more panicked they are, the more forward they swim. The more forward they go, the more panicked they will be...

After the three minke whales returned to the sea, they did not swim toward the land again. Instead, they swam slowly in an area with suitable water depth. Su Penghui said that they were resting.

Ao Muyang was relieved. It happened that the willow leaf fish season arrived. He boarded the boat and led the team to go out to sea to catch willow leaf fish.

Seeing him board the boat again, Ao Daguo teased, "Dragon Head, should we set off firecrackers or something? Are there any salutes in the village? How about two salutes?"

Ao Mudong scratched his crotch and asked, "What do you mean?"

"To celebrate that Dragon Head finally boarded the boat. This is his first time on the boat this year." Ao Daguo laughed, and then he looked at Ao Mudong in confusion, "Dongzi, what's wrong with you recently? Why do you always like to pick your crotch? Is your crotch rotten?"

He just made a joke casually, but it hit the softest part of Ao Mudong's heart. When he heard this, the big man suddenly burst into tears and almost cried on the spot.

Ao Muyang quietly asked Ao Mudong: "What's wrong? Has your disease not been cured yet?"

Ao Mudong said with a sad face: "Almost, but my wife knows about it and has been fucking me recently."

Hearing him say this, Ao Muyang felt relieved: "It's fine if it's cured. As for your wife fucking you, you can only endure it and let you fuck around!"

The fishing season of willow leaf fish is similar to that of sardines, which is vast and endless.

However, Hongyang is not very enthusiastic about the fishing activities of willow leaf fish. The main reason is that when the willow leaf fish season arrives, other fishing seasons also arrive, and all major fishing boats go to catch more valuable catches.

In the past two years, Longtou Village did not catch willow leaf fish. This year, it happened to encounter the minke whale incident, so Ao Muyang wanted to catch it by the way. After catching it, it will be sent to the cold storage and not put on the market, but supplied to the village.

The willow leaf fish is very delicious, and it appears in a good season, when the willow leaves are protruding and all things are revived.

The fishing boat sailed from the bay to the deep water area. Ao Muyang took the tiger and rode it around in the sea again, looking for schools of willow leaf fish.

This is not difficult. The fishery resources in the bay are not abundant. At first glance, the surroundings are empty. When you encounter a school of swordfish, you can see them clearly.

A large group of fish passed by like locusts, chasing each other and covering the sea. Ao Muyang looked down at the huge school of fish and couldn't help but think of the sardines caught by Beng Huozi two years ago.

In comparison, the number of swordfish is still smaller. The three-dimensionality of the sardine school is very strong. Once the school of fish appears, the whole sea area seems to be filled with fish.

The tiger rushed into the school of fish to prepare for a full meal. Several big fish suddenly came out. Seeing this, the tiger immediately changed its target and chased one of the big fish.

Seeing these big fish, Ao Muyang's eyes lit up: swordfish are coming.

Every year, swordfish will come to the outer sea area of ​​​​Hongyang Bay. The village has fished them before. Although they come every year, they are few in number and swim fast. They are fleeting in the outer waters of the bay and only stay for a short time.

Therefore, there are still few swordfish that can be caught locally, and any boat that catches a swordfish in the spring will be considered lucky.

Last year, no swordfish was caught in Longtou Village. Ao Muyang went to the sea to look for it, but he was unlucky and did not encounter any swordfish.

This time, he found swordfish again by accident.
