MTL - The Fish I Catch Can Be Upgraded-Chapter 248 Mako shark's savior
Chapter 248 The Savior of the Mako Shark
How much long-bodied multi-saw perch can be sold in Melbourne. Chuming City is really not clear. The blue cod market in New Zealand sells for 15 Australian dollars per catty, but the unit of measurement here is kilograms.
Dong Xingban is only 25 Australian dollars per catty, and it is more than 100 points per catty when converted into Oceania. The price is indeed much cheaper than domestic ones.
During this period of time, he was visiting Melbourne, and he has visited all the seafood markets.
Long-bodied multi-saw perch is a fish with high economic value. Chu Mingcheng guessed that it should be more expensive than New Zealand blue cod, but at most it is not more than the price of eastern star spot.
Then the selling price to Noah will be lower, maybe around 15 Australian dollars per catty.
He weighed this long-bodied multi-saw perch with a crane. It weighs 167 catties and is worth 2,500 Australian dollars.
Although the unit price is not as high as that of the king crab, the value of this fish may be similar to that of the king crab in the corner of the deck due to its heavy weight.
Chu Mingcheng was quite satisfied with this, he rehooked the squid, made a bell for the fishing rod by the way, threw the bait into the water and waited for the fish to take the bait.
Then he didn't stare at the fishing rod, but bled the long-bodied perch.
The gills of the fish were cut inside, and the spine of the tail was cut off. The opened water pipe was directly inserted into the mouth of the fish to block the opening, and blood flowed out of the tail of the fish immediately.
It's just that the **** water has not been washed away, and there is a sound of "jingling".
Chu Mingcheng quickly put down the water pipe and came to the side of the boat, grabbed the fishing rod in the fishing hole with both hands and lifted it up vigorously.
The weight of this fish seems a bit light, it should not be very big.
In just a short while, a long-bodied perch that had just reached the meter level was caught.
Chu Mingcheng lifted the fishing line a little bit, but found that it was still a bit heavy. To be on the safe side, he picked up the hook to hook the fish, and lifted it up directly.
Weighed it, but I didn’t expect the meter-level long-bodied perch to weigh more than 50 kilograms. This fish is indeed quite fat.
Now there are two fish whose blood has not been put away, so this time he did not immediately lower the pole, but put all the blood of the fish into the refrigerated compartment.
The meter-level long-bodied multi-saw perch is okay. Once this 1.5-meter fish is placed in the refrigerated compartment, it immediately takes up most of the space.
According to the current situation, even if the fish caught are layered on top of each other, there will be no more than six or seven fish that are 1.5 meters long. The space in this refrigerated cabin is really small enough.
But who told this not to be his big ship, Chu Mingcheng could only make do with it.
After continuing to catch two long-bodied perch with a length of about 1.2 meters, the blood washed down by the boat was carried further and further by the waves, attracting several sharks that are particularly sensitive to blood.
Sharks that are rarely seen in domestic coastal waters are very common in Australia.
The fishermen here often encounter sharks, and the fish they catch are robbed by sharks.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a cheap fish like Niugang trevally, but if it’s some rare and valuable fish, then everyone has to curse a few words.
Chu Mingcheng caught another 1.3-meter long-bodied perch before the shark came. After the next rod, he would not have such good luck.
When fishing, the fishing rod shook strangely. In the end, he only picked up a big fish head, which made him immediately understand what was going on, and began to curse non-stop.
Through the illumination of the lights, he saw several fierce mako sharks.
He was thinking all the time, whether he should just go into the water with a spear and poke all these mako sharks to death.
Aren’t they all endangered, why do three or four appear all of a sudden?
Looking at it like this, it seems that they have been well protected in recent years. I feel that it is better to kill them, so that they are worthy of the name of endangered.
Mako sharks can grow up to four meters long, but these few are only in the early two meters. Chu Mingcheng feels that he can now spear a child.
Otherwise, with these sharks around, he wouldn't want to continue fishing tonight.
Currently, five fish have been caught, and it feels like a few more will fill up the refrigerated compartment. Chu Mingcheng, who is a bit obsessive-compulsive, is afraid that there is still room in the refrigerated compartment.
Looking at the mako sharks that appeared on the water from time to time, he picked up the spear and was a little eager to try.
At this moment, Jiang Luoluo seemed to have just taken a shower. He was wearing a nightgown and stood at the door of the cab and shouted, "Ah Cheng, are you still fishing? Why don't you go to bed at this late hour, it's not good to stay up late!"
Chu Mingcheng was immediately distracted.
Jiang Luoluo, who had just taken a shower, had her jet-black hair casually draped over her shoulders, and a nightgown that blocked all the spring, but she couldn't suppress Yuanyuan's exposed professionalism.
The slender, white and tender legs were completely exposed to his sight because of the sea breeze blowing up the skirt.
Women only affect the fishing speed?
That's because they don't have such a beautiful daughter-in-law!
Chu Mingcheng agreed immediately, and threw the fish spear in his hand.
Checking the time, he realized that it was already 12:30, so he really had to go back to sleep so late, it didn't matter to him whether the mako shark was endangered or not!
Currently, there are 20 life transformations on his body, which he specially kept in case of accidents.
It’s not very cost-effective to use it for staying up late, and you still have to nourish your energy at night.
After packing up the fishing tackle, he almost ran back to the room at a sprint speed, and Jiang Luoluo's heart tightened when he saw this.
She felt that Chu Mingcheng seemed to have misunderstood something, she really just asked him to come back early to rest.
However, it didn't take long for a beautiful symphony to sound in the ship.
A few mako sharks beside the boat were still wandering around because of the blood of the fish, and they didn't even know that they almost contributed to the species' endangered status.
So it can be said that Jiang Luoluo saved them and paid a lot for them
The next day, Chu Mingcheng walked out of the bedroom refreshed.
It was only a few minutes past six in the morning, and the thirty-year-old was more energetic than when he was twenty, and he recovered faster, which made him feel very happy.
Even if this cheat does not have fishing enhancements, he is very satisfied with his physical fitness.
He simply made some breakfast for himself, Jiang Luoluo estimated that he would have to sleep for several hours, so he left her alone.
After breakfast, Chu Mingcheng came to the cab and looked at the fish finder first.
As he expected, there are still fish in the deep ditch, but the thick red line has disappeared, indicating that the long-bodied multi-saw perch has left.
After all, it is a deep-sea fish, so it is normal to hunt in shallow water at night.
During the day, these fish will hide in waters below 500 meters deep to avoid predators. It is really not easy to catch them.
Chu Mingcheng started the fishing boat, sailed to the floating position of the first crab cage, put on a diving suit and prepared to go down to see the situation.
If there are still some emperor crabs outside the crab cage, they can be stuffed in.
Although Jiang Luoluo expected to wake up after nine o'clock, Chu Mingcheng moved very quickly.
He dived into the water and came to the bottom at an extremely fast speed. The crab pots numbered 5~10 behind did not catch a few emperor crabs last night.
So after coming to the bottom of the water, he stuffed all the king crabs he found into these crab cages.
Under human intervention, the king crab harvest is not bad this time.
If he hadn't dived and caught it manually, the harvest this morning would have been reduced by half, and it was even more impossible to catch the king crab weighing more than 50 kilograms.
After confirming that all the compliant king crabs within the range of the crab cage were stuffed into the crab cage, Chu Mingcheng immediately swam back to the surface of the water, boarded the boat and went to another bathroom to simply rinse the sea water.
Changed into the work clothes to release the water and came to the deck, retracted the float of the crab cage, tied the rope to the crane, and started the crane.
The speed of the crane is not fast, but it is very stable.
Including the crab cage does not exceed 150 kg, even if there is water pressure and ocean currents in the water, the actual pulling force far exceeds 150 kg, this crane can still be hoisted.
The maximum load of the crane has reached one ton, which is no problem at all.
Chu Mingcheng didn't need to pull it himself, but the crab cage was pulled overboard, and he needed to help it so as not to scratch the deck.
Then manipulate the direction of the crane, and slowly put the crab cage on the deck.
Chu Mingcheng opened the living water tank and took a look, and found that many of the red snappers caught last night had lost their vitality, and they probably would die soon.
He simply transferred these red sea breams out of the living water tank and put them into the refrigerated cabin.
The place that was not filled last night was just filled by these red snappers.
Then the water in the living water tank was replaced, and the king crabs in the crab cage were caught and put in one by one.
When other crabs are put together, the tendons inside their pincers have to be cut to prevent them from biting each other and causing death.
But king crabs don't need it. Their carapaces are very hard, and they can't hurt each other with the strength of their pincers.
There are a total of four emperor crabs in this crab cage, the two big ones weigh more than ten catties, and the two small ones weigh only five or six catties.
Placing the emperor crab away and putting the crab cage aside, Chu Mingcheng took advantage of the opportunity to look at the giant emperor crab that had been hiding in the corner.
After observing it, he was relieved to find that the crab was still alive and energetic.
Then get some sea water to wet its dry body surface and leave it alone, continue to collect crab pots.
After about two hours, all ten crab pots were taken back and stacked neatly on the deck.
Stacked in two rows, five in a row, so that it doesn't take up much space.
In order to ensure the stability, Chu Mingcheng specially packed the crab cage horizontally and vertically with six packing belts.
As for the number and weight of the king crabs, he has already weighed them all and recorded them in his notebook.
Backing to the cockpit, Chu Mingcheng called Noah, told him the approximate quantity of goods he had caught, made an appointment, and then sailed back.
It took more than four hours to return to the voyage. After returning to the pier, it was about 1:00 in the afternoon. In addition to the inventory of the catch, it seemed that there was no way to return to the shore for dinner at noon.
Considering that Jiang Luoluo was about to wake up, after setting up the autopilot, Chu Mingcheng was going to the kitchen to make some breakfast for her.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he got up, the radar suddenly issued a "beep" prompt.
He took a closer look, and it turned out that within one nautical mile, a ship appeared on the navigation route. If you don't operate to avoid it, the two ships will collide.
After a short while, Chu Mingcheng saw a medium-sized fishing boat in the cab.
The wireless channels on his side are all turned off, so I don't know if the boss of the opposite ship has anything to say.
But he took the initiative to drive the fishing boat and evaded to the left.
Seeing this, the boat on the opposite side also took the initiative to shift a little to his right, and the two sides crossed without incident.
It's just this incident that made Chu Mingcheng no longer have a chance, so he had to continue to sit in the cab to avoid ships appearing opposite.
