Chapter 205 Moon Fish

Zhang Yaohua and the others soon docked with Boss Wang's fishing boat at sea.

Boss Wang also invested a lot of money. The fishing boat was very big. Because it was only about transporting fish, the fish cabin was designed to be very large, and the fish storage technology inside was very advanced.

This time the price of amberjack has doubled, reaching [-] yuan per pound.

According to Boss Wang’s plan, these fish will be exported to Japan and South Korea.

When it came to exporting to Japan and South Korea, Zhang Yaohua again thought of a joke written by Teacher Luo on the Internet.

Teacher Luo once had a meal and overheard Bangzi discussing that the fish imported from China were unpalatable, but the fish they caught were delicious. Teacher Luo thought to himself, isn’t this crazy?

You yourself say that they are caught from the same sea area, or the same kind of fish. What you catch is delicious, but what we catch is unpalatable.

Later, after understanding, the fish we caught basically had no preservation technology, which caused the cell wall of the fish to rupture, so it tasted bad.

To be honest, our previous fishing technology was indeed not very good.

Fortunately, we are now gradually catching up. Just look at the tonnage and number of offshore fishing vessels.

In other words, you can get a glimpse of it just by looking at the shipbuilding industry.

In the past, Bangzi's shipbuilding industry ranked first in the world. Now, our country has caught up and even surpassed it, and has even formed a trend of crushing it. No matter what industry it is, as long as we start it in China, there will basically be no competitors.

During the process of transferring the catch, Zhu Weiguang had nothing to do, so he swung his pole on the other side of the fishing boat and started fishing.

"Still fishing? You vomited when you saw the fish." Some crew members complained.

I've been numb picking up fish lately.

Sure enough, there are still many resources in the open sea. The sea skin in the offshore sea has been scraped several layers, and the probability of encountering a school of fish is as low as buying a lottery ticket.

Zhu Weiguang held a cigarette in his mouth: "You guys know nothing."

What a fisherman cares about is the surprise at the moment when the fish takes the bait, and the joy of walking the fish.

Going fishing on the high seas is also a rare and valuable experience for fishermen. From now on, if you brag in the circle, you will have capital.

The person next to him shrugged, not denying that his level was indeed not yet at Zhu Weiguang's level.

"Ok?"

Zhu Weiguang quickly put out the cigarette he had just lit.

A fish has bitten the hook.

"So fast?" The onlookers were surprised.

Zhang Yaohua also looked over, and when he saw the line on the fishing rod being stretched wildly, he knew that the one biting the hook was still a big fish, maybe a shark.

"Pull it quickly!" someone urged anxiously.

Zhu Weiguang rolled his eyes: "If you don't understand, go ahead."

Can this be pulled directly? No fishing line can hold it. You have to pull with the fish to exhaust its strength before you can pull it onto the boat.

As soon as I heard what you said, I knew that you were a novice at fishing.

After almost twenty minutes, Zhu Weiguang finally brought the fish closer.

If you don’t have any patience, it’s really not suitable for fishing.

Zhang Yaohua took a look and said with a smile: "Congratulations! It's a moon fish, estimated to weigh seventy or eighty pounds."

Zhu Weiguang was extremely happy.

This was his first time catching this fish.

The moonfish has a flat body and is relatively rare in our country's waters. However, in China and the United States, moonfish is relatively common. Because of its delicious fish meat, it is a delicacy on the table and is called "steak of the sea." Its meat quality is more than 10 times more expensive than salmon in the international market.

You may not know that the moon fish is the first warm-blooded fish discovered by humans in the ocean. Its strong pectoralis major muscles provide the moon fish with a large amount of metabolic heat energy.

Unlike other fish, which rely on body axis swinging to swim, the moonfish's fast swimming is achieved by the continuous flapping of its pectoral fins like wings. What drives the pectoral fin flapping is its dark red pectoral muscles that provide aerobic metabolism. Like a powerful motor, it provides powerful power for the moon fish to swim.

"Isn't it to protect animals?" someone couldn't help but ask. Both Zhang Yaohua and Zhu Weiguang shook their heads: "No."

"I was very lucky this time. This kind of fish is hard to come across." Zhu Weiguang added.

Moon fish are extremely difficult to catch because they move in isolation and do not travel in groups. It is also unrealistic to catch them commercially. Generally, moon fish caught are accidental harvests.

As far as Zhu Weiguang knows, American fishermen have a saying: "The moon fish is a fish that is difficult to catch in a lifetime." Therefore, for American fishermen, the moon fish is a symbol of luck.

Many fishermen will never encounter a moon fish in their lives.

"Even in an island country, if you want to eat this kind of fish, you need to make a reservation." Zhu Weiguang went there to eat once.

However, I will never go there again.

Thinking about that waste water makes me very upset.

Damn it! They spend all day bragging about how much they care for the environment. Is this what they do? It makes me sick just thinking about it.

Nowadays, seafood is eaten once and less. In the future, I don’t know whether I can still eat it if I catch it from the sea.

"How much does this one cost?" Some people are also curious.

"A few thousand yuan is no problem. If you're lucky, you might be able to sell it for more than [-] yuan."

Ah Xing: "That's not very expensive! It's not as valuable as a large yellow croaker."

Not to mention the large yellow croaker, it is not even as valuable as the giant croaker.

On average, it’s about [-] yuan per catty. Compared with large yellow croaker, giant anchovy, tuna, yellow lip fish, etc., it is indeed quite inferior.

"It doesn't matter how much it costs, this fish is very difficult to catch." Zhu Weiguang emphasized again.

The other crew members didn't argue with him, but they had different opinions.

To them, all that matters is how much money is spent.

What is difficult to catch is not worth mentioning at all. If it is not valuable, no matter whether it is easy to catch or difficult to catch, they will pretend that they cannot see it and will not bother to catch it at all.

Zhu Weiguang struggled to hold the fish and asked others to take photos for him.

"Okay? I've taken a dozen or twenty pictures." The person who took the picture became impatient.

"Take a few more pictures like this." Zhu Weiguang continued.

It's rare to catch a moon fish, why don't he be allowed to show off?

After taking the photo, he immediately took preservation measures and personally delivered it to the fish cabin. He didn't intend to sell the fish. He went back to invite some friends over and have a few drinks together.

Zhang Yaohua was also trying his hand at the club.

Not long after, he was asked to pull up a big lobster. He didn't need to do anything to walk the fish, he just pulled it out of the sea and lifted it up.

The big lobster weighs about five pounds.

The crew members cheered.

This left Zhu Weiguang speechless.

A bunch of ignorant people.

Big lobsters are very common, okay? There is no way to compare with his moon fish, and it is not even worthy of carrying shoes.

Soon, another big lobster was pulled on board.

Everyone was slightly surprised. There weren't many big lobsters down here, were there? Do you want to go online and take a look?
  "Additional food will be added later." Zhang Yaohua told everyone.

The big lobster he caught also had no intention of selling it. If this were the case before, how could I be willing to eat it? A five-pound lobster costs almost two thousand yuan.

Next, Zhu Weiguang seemed to have run out of luck, and there was no movement from the fishing rod for a long time.
