My Deep-sea Fishery

Chapter 672: Shrimp shell

In the past ten years, the number of Heibeiou has been declining sharply because of discarded fishing nets and garbage.

Gao Chuang's awareness of animal protection is still very strong, and he wants to take advantage of the stiff-headed sea eagle to chase another Black-backed Ou, and he will first save the Black-backed Ou under the sea.

However, the two Steller's sea eagles did not give Gao Chuang a chance to rescue them.

Steller's sea eagles are very powerful in the eagle category. They are huge in size, but they are extremely flexible when flying in the air.

Seeing Gao Chuang's voice just fell, and before the crew could react, the male tiger-headed sea eagle caught up with the black-backed Ou who was struggling to flee with its wings. Without hesitation, a sharp claw was grabbed at the back of the black-backed Ou, and then the hard and sharp eagle beak aimed at the black-backed Ou's head with a peck.

Suddenly, the black-backed Ou let out a sorrowful scream, and blood flowed all over his head in an instant.

"These two black-backed Europeans are finished." Xiang Yang shook his head.

"Forget it, if it's over, it's over." Gao Chuang shook his head helplessly. Nature's struggles are often so cruel.

At present, the number of black-backed Europeans in the world is about one million pairs. The reason for their sharp decline is not because of the hunting of other birds of prey, but because of human beings.

"Tweet!"

After seeing that the black-backed Ou was not alive, the Steller's sea eagle suddenly grabbed it with its claws and flew towards the eagle's nest.

When the Steller's sea eagle came out of the eagle's nest, the black-backed Ou was gone. Without even thinking about it, the two Steller's sea eagles must have been used as food reserves.

In fact, compared to the difficult reproduction method of the Steller's sea eagle, the reproduction speed of the black-backed European is extremely fast.

During the breeding season of Black-backed Europe, the female bird lays two to three eggs. It only takes more than 20 days for the young bird to hatch, and then it will become an adult bird in about two months. The growth rate is very high. quick.

"Quickly tidy up the camp and withdrew. Two icebreakers and the ocean-going carrier opened their way in front, the trawler followed behind, and the purse seine went to the back. We cast two nets along the way." Gao Chuang arranged for the fleet.

Although Xiangyang’s ocean-going fishing boat can be used as an ocean-going processing mothership, it also has a certain ice-breaking ability, but because Xiangyang has only one boat in total, it is classified as a trawler by Gao Chong. After setting sail, Xiang Yang and Several fishing trawlers travel side by side, closely behind an ocean-going processing mothership.

"Captain, shall we cast a net?" Chen Qingsheng asked Xiang Yang.

Xiang Yang shook his head, "We will not be the first to cast the net. We will cast the net after the other boats cast the net."

Chen Qingsheng nodded and ran to the gunwale, staring at the other fishing boats.

As for the rest of the crew, they were happy, smoking cigarettes on the deck one by one, discussing this trip to the South Pole.

Seeing that the crew were so idle, Chen Qingsheng immediately said: "Since everyone has nothing to do at this time, let's shell the krill."

The price of Antarctic krill is very different if it is not shelled.

The unshelled Antarctic krill can only be dragged back and processed into feed or high-grade cat food, because the shells of Antarctic krill are toxic to the human body. If Antarctic krill is circulated to the market, then the shells must be removed .

And the Antarctic krill after the shrimp shell is removed will immediately double in value, from a dozen yuan per catty, or even a few dollars per catty, to tens of dollars per catty, or even hundreds of dollars per catty.

It's just that the shell of Antarctic krill is not so easy to go. There is only one shrimp about one or two centimeters long, and it is more delicate than needlework to shell it.

When the crew heard Chen Qingsheng's words, they immediately wailed. They are all a group of big men. Asking them to shell the Antarctic krill, isn't it forcing the strong man to embroider?

Xiang Yang looked at it with a smile. In fact, Xiang Yang didn’t care whether the krill was shelled or not, because for Xiang Yang, it was nothing more than a question of earning more and less. Anyway, no matter what, this trip is all profitable. .

However, while the crew has time, it is not a good thing to shell the krill. Anyway, this is not a physical job. The crew can shell the krill while continuing to chat and rest.

Xiang Yang shouted loudly: "It's up to you whether you strip it or not, but for every catty you strip it, I will reward you with an extra 10 yuan for the cost of production."

No one has counted the exact number of Antarctic krill per catty, but it is certainly not possible to peel a catty in one hour.

It stands to reason that the cost of this work given by Xiang Yang is extremely low, and it is not as high as that of the assembly line of the electronics factory.

But don’t forget that, regardless of whether the crew does something or not, Xiang Yang always pays the crew a fixed salary. Shelling the shrimp is an extra income in addition to the fixed income.

As Xiang Yang's voice fell, the crew's enthusiasm was immediately mobilized.

"Peel, let me peel, Brother Yang, isn't it just peeling a shrimp shell? Why is it embarrassing to ask for your money for this little thing?" Fang Youqun said, moving his eyes back and forth on the large wooden barrels.

According to Fang Youqun’s opposite, as long as he peels a little faster, and then adds a little bit of water to each catty of krill, it’s okay to peel one catty an hour.

Anyway, this way of sailing, staying bored on the boat is also staying, peeling for a few hours a day and not tired at all, this day is an extra income of dozens of yuan.

Suddenly, in addition to the necessary crew members on board, everyone on board Xiang Yang was dispatched. There were two jars in front of everyone, one for unpeeled krill and the other for shrimp that had been peeled.

Xiang Yang also tried to peel two.

As a result, Xiang Yang found that the shell of Antarctic krill was very difficult to peel.

The small size of the shrimp is the main reason. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

The shell of krill is also very thin, it may be peeled if you are not careful, and it will take more time to peel it again slowly.

In addition, the meat of Antarctic krill is not as hard as that of Kewei shrimp. When peeling the shell, if you accidentally use too much force, the whole shrimp will be broken immediately.

This is the main reason why Antarctic krill has always been shelled manually instead of mechanically.

The size of Antarctic krill is too small. If mechanized peeling is used, it is easy to leave the remaining shrimp shells on the shrimps or in the pile of shrimps. These shrimp shells are harmful to the human body and can only be used as Humans cannot eat high-grade cat food or high-grade fishing bait.

In New Zealand, there are even factories that specialize in manual shrimp shelling. The access rules for shrimp shelling factories are very strict. The reputation is accumulated little by little, and small workshops are not recognized at all.

The krill and shrimps exported from New Zealand are the most expensive. After being shipped to Europe, the price can often be as high as hundreds of euros per catty. They are very delicious seafood treasures.
