Rushing to the sea: I can see the prompts

Chapter 88 Ma Youyu (please order first)
Zhang Yaohua and the others tried to release a net, which lasted for almost two hours. It was the longest net that Zhang Yaohua had held so far.

In fact, it is normal to drag a net for two or three hours.

"It's time to witness the miracle."

As the machine continues to close the net, a large bag of catch is pulled onto the boat.

This net must weigh about three thousand kilograms. It’s great if the fishing boat is big. The harvest of one net is comparable to the harvest of a small fishing boat in one day.

Shui Wang stepped forward and pulled the rope at the end of the net, and the fish inside immediately poured out and fell on the deck.

The catch is a bit mixed, including cheap sardines, average-priced octopus, and more expensive swimming crabs, nine-section shrimp, horsetail, etc.

"This kind of fish is delicious. You probably haven't eaten it before. It's what you'll eat tonight." Zhang Yaowei said to Ah Jiu.

"What fish?"

"Mayou fish, also called Wu fish or Wu bamboo shoots by some people. Its meat is tender and layered, like a thousand-layer cake. If it is pickled, the layers will separate, so the taste of salted fish is also very good."

The price of this kind of fish is about 50 yuan, but it has recently increased to 70 yuan.

Ah Jiu almost drooled when he heard this.

Zhang Yaohua and Ah Hui brought over the plastic frames: "Hurry and sort them!"

What everyone dislikes most is the hodgepodge that comes out of the net, which puts a lot of pressure on the sorting work.The best thing is to have a net full of one kind of fish and just frame it.

But like now, not only must they be classified, but they must also be distinguished by size, and small fish and shrimps are thrown back into the sea.Sometimes, the same goes for worthless trash fish. There is no need to pull them back and take up space.

"That's Balangyu, also called Huang Zhan, throw it away!" Zhang Yaohua said to Ah Jiu.

"Ah! No more? It's not that small, right?"

"It's too cheap. It's only four or five yuan per catty in the market. Others charge us two or three yuan at most. It's cheaper than the sugar oranges you have over there."

Ah Jiu secretly thought: When can the sugar oranges from our production area be sold for two or three yuan?
"Yes! This kind of fish is hot and moist and is usually dried in the sun. Some people will get into trouble if they eat it. We don't eat it. It should be eaten by people from other provinces." Shui Wang added.

"You don't eat fish from other provinces, right? Isn't it said that this kind of fish is mainly used as fish feed for mariculture?"

Zhang Yaohua: "We can't say that people from other provinces are eating it. Many people eat it in Chaoshan and Fujian, and it was even considered a supreme delicacy at one time. We can only say that the food in each place is different."

It seems that this kind of fish is rarely eaten in Guangxi. Depending on the place in Guangdong, Fujian is more popular.

At last count, the Mayouyu weighed about 600 kilograms. At 50 yuan per kilogram, it was over 3 yuan.There are more than 80 kilograms of swimming crabs, more than 50 kilograms of various shrimps, more than 100 kilograms of octopus, and hundreds of kilograms of small yellow croakers...

At present, the price of small yellow croaker is in the early twenties, neither high nor low.

"Will this little yellow croaker turn into a big yellow croaker if it grows bigger?" Ah Jiu asked curiously.

Isn’t it said that large yellow croaker is very expensive?You can catch the small yellow croakers back and raise them.

"The idea is good, but the big yellow croaker and the small yellow croaker are not the same fish at all." Zhang Yaohua said with a smile.

Many people have the same thoughts as Ah Jiu. After all, they are all yellow croakers!It's just a matter of size.

Generally speaking, the body shape of large yellow croaker is smaller than that of yellow croaker, but this is not a fixed characteristic and cannot be used as the main basis for judging the size of "two yellow croakers".

Both large and small yellow croakers are species of the genus Yellow Croaker of the family Perciformes, family Asteridae, and are closely related, so sometimes it is not easy to tell them apart.

Their bodies are flat on the side, and they all look like ordinary fish, with a regular "spindle" shape; secondly, they are all covered in golden scales, which are simply carved from the same mold.

First of all, large yellow croaker has small scales, while small yellow croaker has large scales.Secondly, the tail shank of the large yellow croaker is slender, and the length is three times the height; the tail shank of the small yellow croaker is short and wide, and the length is twice the height.

The so-called caudal peduncle is a fish anatomy term that refers to the area between the trailing edge of the anal fin base and the tail fin base.

"Ah! Is it different?"

"Of course it's different! Usually we rarely encounter small yellow croakers, and there are not many small yellow croaker resources in the South China Sea." Shui Wang said.

Small yellow croakers are mainly concentrated in the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea.Large yellow croakers are concentrated in the East China Sea and the South China Sea, and their activity areas overlap.

Compared with the large yellow croaker, the small yellow croaker is the "national seafood" in the eyes of the northern people. It is washed and peeled and fried until golden on both sides. I can't imagine how fragrant it is.

"Nowadays, there are many small yellow croakers in the wild, and many large yellow croakers are farmed. The price of wild small yellow croakers is about the same as that of farmed large yellow croakers, both 30 and [-] yuan, so when you buy it, you don't have to worry too much about whether it is a large yellow croaker or a small yellow croaker."

We all know that the growth rate and environment are different, and wild products may taste better than farmed products, but many people certainly cannot afford the price difference of several thousand yuan. Those who like to spend a lot of money to buy wild products just want the feeling of luxury.

As night fell, they cooked a fish weighing more than six pounds and ate it.

"This fish is really delicious."

"Then when you get back, leave some to dry and take it back to eat later." Zhang Yaohua suggested to him.

"It's so expensive, let's keep it and sell it!"

If it's yours, it doesn't matter, but the harvest belongs to everyone!It's not good for him to keep some and take them back to his home. The two uncles don't care, but what about Brother Hui and Shui Wang?
Ah Hui glanced at him and knew what Ah Jiu was thinking, and said, "Keep some! I also want a few to dry."

If everyone stays, then there will be no problem.

"Of course you have to keep some of the delicious food for yourself! When you pick fruits, don't you eat the best ones right on the trees?"

Ah Jiu smiled coquettishly. It seemed that he was really doing this, eating the pretty ones on the spot.In fact, many people do this.

After eating and drinking, everyone went to the deck to enjoy the breeze.

This was the first time that Zhang Yaohua spent the night in the sea. The stars in the sky were very bright.This kind of night sky can never be seen in the city.

"Look, you guys, there's something shining in the sea."

"It must be hairtail!" Shui Wang guessed.

"Can hairtail fish glow?" Ah Jiu wondered.He has eaten hairtail fish before, but he never thought it would glow!

"It's not the hairtails themselves that glow, it's the bacteria on them that glow. Not just hairtails, but also dragonhead fish," Zhang Yaohua told him.

Dragonhead fish is also a protected animal, but fishing is not completely prohibited. The government has set up specific protected areas. As long as fishing is not within the protected areas, it is legal.

In addition, there are also some marine creatures that emit their own light, such as the candle fish, which has multiple rows of light emitters on its abdomen and ventral side, just like rows of candles, hence the name candle fish.

There are also deep-sea bald fish whose heads are flat on the back and covered by a pair of large light emitters. The large light emitters may play a role in vision.

"Cast a wide net?" Zhang Yaowei asked tentatively.

Fishing at night sometimes yields better results. After all, many seafood species are nocturnal owls that stay out during the day and emerge at night.

Zhang Yaohua: "Yes! Yes, let's try it."
