My Deep-sea Fishery

"Yes, it's the Antarctic Circle." He Mingde nodded.

Xiang Yang was silent for a moment, "Why did you suddenly think of going to the Antarctic Circle? The climate over there is not boring."

When most people think of Antarctica, they must first think of the chubby penguins or the cute seals.

In fact, the fishery resources of Antarctica are very attractive.

Every year, many ocean-going fleets from all over the world go to Antarctica to salvage Antarctic krill.

Go to Antarctica to fish for some shrimp? Some people may wonder, can the gas bill be paid back?

In fact, the range from 60 degrees south latitude to the south pole is an important food producing area for the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization.

Every year in the Antarctic fishing area, about 300,000 tons of aquatic products are caught ashore, and then shipped to countries around the world. After processing, they are supplied to nearly 200 countries and regions around the world.

According to the latest data from the Antarctic Marine Living Resources Management Office, as of 2018, the annual catch of Antarctic krill was 289,700 tons.

In addition, the annual catch of the small-scale canine-tooth antarctic fish and the scale-head canine antarctic fish is also calculated in 10,000 tons.

The reserves of Antarctic krill are extremely rich. A conservative estimate is that the amount is about 500 million tons. From the point of ecological balance, the consumption of 50 million tons per year is drizzle, and it cannot even keep up with the natural reproduction rate of Antarctic krill.

However, the content of toxic substances in the shell of Antarctic krill is very high, and it is very unstable. After the death of the krill, the toxic substances will soon be incorporated into the shrimp meat, so the cost of processing Antarctic krill is very high. It is not like Other aquatic products are the same, as long as they are caught.

In addition, the consumption of these 5,000 tons is not just human consumption, but also the consumption of other marine organisms.

Antarctic krill is the main food source for most marine organisms in the Southern Ocean, such as whales, penguins, and seals. They also need to consume a large amount of Antarctic krill every year.

"The climate is a bit bad, but to make money over there, you only need to go there, and you may drag back thousands of tons of Antarctic krill when you come back." Wu Shiwen's eyes glowed.

Xiang Yang smiled, "Drag thousands of tons back, where can you sell it? The dead Antarctic krill can only be grinded to make shrimp powder for fishing. Such dead shrimp can't be sold in wholesale for a dollar or a catty. Then we are truly a cargo ship."

"So let's go in a team." He Mingde smiled and said: "At that time, we will rent another icebreaker, and three boats will set off at the same time. Ocean-going fishing boats are processing motherships. We will pay for the rent of icebreakers. How about five to five out of the catch that will be shipped back?" He Mingde asked.

Xiang Yang raised his eyebrows. If this were the case, then the solution was really feasible.

Just to go to the Antarctic, Xiang Yang has to think about it.

Not every crew member is willing to work in such icy and snowy places.

To be precise, there should be no crew members who are willing to work in such icy and snowy places.

"Why, haven't you caught fish recently? You have to venture to places like Antarctica." Xiang Yang doubted.

"Don't mention it." He Mingde shook his head: "In general, the catch is just enough to pay for the crew's salary and daily expenses. Every time we go out there is a net loss of fuel. If we don't take a risk in Antarctica, we may have to support it. Can't help it."

"No matter how cold the stone is, it can still be warm after three years of warming. The same is true for fishing. Why don't you stick to it?" Xiang Yang said.

"Don't say it has been three years, you just let us hold on for another six months, we can't hold on anymore." Wu Shiwen whispered: "Brother Yang, or you are six, we are four, you should help us, take advantage of us Now that we still have some money on hand, we can set off for a trip to the South Pole. If two months pass, we may not even be able to go to the South Pole."

Xiang Yang thought about it for a moment, "Are you sure you can catch Antarctic krill if you go to Antarctica? You know that going to Antarctica is not easy. First of all, the crew's emotions are very uncomfortable. If you want to let the crew choose to go or not Go, I guess no one wants to go there even if they pay double the salary."

"What's really uncertain in our business? If you go, you can make a profit, but if you don't go, you will lose money." He Mingde smiled: "As long as you can get it from this trip, you will have enough income this year. Up."

"Alright, I actually want to go to the Antarctic to see it too, but I can't promise you yet. I have to discuss with my crew first. If they are very emotional, then I really can't promise you. "Xiang Yang Road.

"Okay, then we wait for your news." He Mingde stood up and said.

"Will you leave without eating?" Xiang Yangliu asked.

"No, we still have things to do. We will invite you next time," Wu Shiwen said.

Seeing this, Xiang Yang stopped holding them and sent them to the door.

After sending He Mingde and Wu Shiwen away, Xiang Yang thought for a while, took out his mobile phone, and interviewed all the members in the work group, and went to the ship for a meeting after dinner.

At this time, a lot of crew members should have gone to Huhai Town to play, Xiang Yang could ask them to come back immediately, but it's not necessary, just after dinner, don't be so rushed.

In fact, Xiang Yang still underestimated his appeal.

Just half an hour after the news was sent, Chen Qingsheng called Xiang Yang, saying that the crew had arrived on the ship, and whether the meeting should be held in advance.

Chen Qingsheng did not ask what the theme of the Xiang Yang meeting was. Obviously, he had known it in advance through other channels.

Xiang Yang rushed to the boat immediately.

When Xiang Yang arrived on the ship, the deck was already full of people. Seeing Xiang Yang's arrival, the crew greeted enthusiastically:

"Brother Yang."

"captain."

"Captain, you are here, are we on the deck or in the meeting room?" Chen Qingsheng asked.

There is indeed a conference room on board, but UU reading www.uukanshu.com can't accommodate so many people. Xiang Yang said directly: "Go to the restaurant. Let's sit down and talk slowly."

When he arrived at the restaurant and sat down, Fang Youqun immediately asked, "Brother Yang, what is the matter so urgent? We have to have a meeting with everyone."

Xiang Yang tapped his finger.

Suddenly everyone calmed down and looked at Xiang Yang eagerly.

Xiang Yang looked at Chen Qingsheng and asked, "Master Chen, I see how you look like, have you already known it in advance?"

Chen Qingsheng was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately laughed and said, "Lao He got angry with me, but I don't know much."

"Then what do you mean?" Xiang Yang asked.

"I have no objection, I can do it, as long as you order the captain." Chen Qingsheng said.

At this time, Fang Youqun mumbled: "Brother Yang, Brother Qing, what are you talking about? Why are you still playing dumb riddles during a meeting? Just tell me what's the matter."
