Chapter 106 Yellowfin Tuna

Another day later, Zhang Yaohua looked at the indicator arrow and saw that there was no mistake. There was a group of yellowfin tuna just a few dozen meters in front of their fishing boat.

"Lower the net!" he shouted.

As soon as he finished speaking, other people on the boat took action.

"Mazu bless you and I'll catch the big fish." Shui Wang clasped his hands together and bowed.

On the sea, no deity can compare to Mazu.

Soon, Zhang Yaowei said excitedly: "There is a big fish ahead, and it runs so fast."

As he said that, he increased his power and chased after her.

Ah Hui and others at the stern of the boat stuck out their heads and looked forward. They saw water surging on the sea surface, but they couldn't see what it was.Suddenly, a fish jumped out.

"Shit! It's tuna, can you hurry up?" Shui Wang yelled.

Zhang Yaowei was depressed and wanted to retaliate: Can I just step on the accelerator to the end?
About half an hour later, the first net was put away under the expectant eyes of everyone, and the winch was working hard to close the net.As the net emerged from the water, those on board cheered.

It's tuna.

"So this is tuna! I heard it's very expensive, one fish costs hundreds of thousands or millions." Qiangzi said happily.

The more fish they catch, the more they earn.He likes this bonus system very much.Unlike some bosses, no matter how much money you make, they only give you a few hundred dollars to send you.

Zhang Yaohua: "Ahem! There are many kinds of tuna. The one you are talking about is bluefin tuna. This is yellowfin tuna, and the prices vary greatly."

Tuna includes yellowfin tuna, big eye tuna, bluefin tuna, albacore tuna, bonito, masu tuna, etc.

Yellowfin tuna is most abundant in tropical and subtropical waters, especially near the equator.

It is also the most common tuna and the most fished tuna species, with hundreds of thousands of tons produced every year.However, most of them are caught by island countries and Taiwan, and our other provinces have very limited catches.

To be precise, for a long time, we didn’t catch much tuna of any kind.

what?
Qiang, Ah Jiu and Cheng Rongguang were stunned.

"Yes! It's a lot different, but in the end it's still tuna, and it's more valuable than the mackerel caught earlier. Don't be stunned, the fish will be killed and the tuna will be bled after a while," Ah Hui said.

After the tuna is brought onto the boat, it must be slaughtered immediately, its internal organs and nervous system removed, ice cubes are then stuffed into the belly of the fish, ice cubes are also piled around the fish body, and it is quickly transported back to the market for sale. ,

Shui Wang carried out a big wooden stick from the cabin.

"what?"

"We hammer them to death in a while and don't let them jump around. If they jump too much, the quality of the meat will deteriorate and the price will be affected." Shui Wang explained.

And such a thing?

Qiangzi and the others expressed that they had learned a lot.

The fishing net was pulled down. Zhang Yaohua stepped forward, grabbed the rope at the end of the fishing net, and pulled hard.The fish inside were poured out of the net one after another, and more than a dozen tuna were lying on the deck, struggling hard.

These tuna weigh several dozen kilograms in small ones and two to three hundred kilograms in large ones.

Without saying a word, Shui Wang went up with a big wooden stick and hit their heads a few times, knocking them out completely.

Zhang Yaohua and others were not idle either, and started to attack with knives.

Bloodletting is the point.

Use a long knife to cut the underside of the fish's gills, just like killing a chicken and wiping its neck. When killing a chicken, you cut the skin, and when you kill a fish, you cut the gills. The parts are almost the same.

After draining the blood, empty your stomach and rinse it with sea water.

"Quickly, move it inside and put ice on it, be quick. Turn the temperature of the fish cabin to the lowest level." Zhang Yaohua shouted.The lowest temperature on their fishing boats is only a dozen degrees below zero, and the tuna must be frozen at low temperatures before it becomes stiff. The optimal temperature should be more than minus 60 degrees, but their fishing boats don’t have that condition.

The faster the whole process, the better.

At first, Ah Jiu and others were in a hurry, but gradually became proficient.

This net of tuna is almost 40 kilograms, and the price of yellowfin tuna is more than [-] yuan. Even if it is [-] yuan, this net is worth [-] yuan.

"Keep chasing, it seems to be going in that direction, see if you can still encounter it." Zhang Yaohua pointed in a direction and said.

Zhang Yaowei once again increased the speed of the fishing boat to the maximum.

Others fantasized about another net or two.

But I don’t have high expectations, because tuna runs so fast, and their fastest speed can reach more than 100 kilometers per hour.I just caught it, so I can only say that they haven’t run as hard as they can yet.

"Brother Hua, how much does this kind of tuna cost per pound?" Qiangzi was curious.

"The wild ones cost more than [-] yuan! The farmed ones can be eaten for just a few dozen yuan."

"Is this also farmed?"

Zhang Yaohua smiled and said: "This is not surprising. As long as the price is high and there is a market, there will always be people studying the possibility of artificial breeding. However, tuna farming is not easy now, and the threshold is very high."

In fact, the so-called breeding is not full breeding, but semi-breeding, or short-term breeding.

During farming, small wild tuna are caught and then raised for about a year before being sold on the market.The price of this kind of tuna is not very high, and the meat quality is not as good as the wild one.

Qiangzi did the math, didn't he just make hundreds of thousands more?

This made him want to take out a loan to buy a boat, so he did it himself!

Of course, just for a moment, how could he have the ability to ask a bank to lend him 200 or [-] million?
But no matter what, the bonus is 4000 yuan more, which is worth being happy about.

An hour later, Zhang Yaowei looked at his eldest brother: "Brother, are you still chasing me?"

After chasing for an hour, there was no trace of tuna at all.Maybe, people don’t walk in a straight line!Will they go further and further away?
"Look ahead."

About 10 minutes later, Zhang Yaowei was excited again: "I saw it. It's right in front. Everyone, get ready."

The others immediately cast the net. Qiangzi and Cheng Rongguang also became skilled in their movements, and they were considered qualified boatmen.

Sure enough, tens of meters ahead, tuna were swimming back and forth, hunting.If they hadn't been hunting, Zhang Yaohua's fishing boat might not be able to keep up.

In this way, Zhang Yaohua and the others caught five more nets. The smallest one only had three tuna, and the largest one exploded the net. In total, they caught more than 8000 kilograms.

Water prosperous keeps saying that they are getting rich.

"Aren't you going to chase me anymore?" he asked, very reluctantly.This kind of opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!He had gone out to sea with another boat owner before, and he had never encountered a school of tuna after working there for so long.

So, it all depends on luck.

"Forget it, if you can't catch up, you may break into disputed waters if you continue to chase." Zhang Yaohua said.

Other countries are not very friendly to our country's fishermen, and arresting boats is commonplace. Zhang Yaohua does not want to cause trouble.

"Don't be greedy, enough is enough." Ah Hui also agreed with his old friend.

You know, this is already an incredible wealth of more than 150 million!

What else do you want?
"Then go home?"

Zhang Yaohua nodded: "Yeah! It's more important to go home and sell these tuna quickly."
