"Little killer whale, I have to go back."
Fu Wan was worried that her family on the boat would be concerned. There was nothing about the orcas on either side that she could help with, and she still had to go back to fishing.
"Be careful next time you eat fish, so you don't get a fish bone stuck in your throat again."
Fu Wan stroked the baby orca's head again; the feel of it was simply amazing, incredibly smooth.
The baby killer whale whimpered several times, as if it understood.
Before Fu Wan could react, the baby orca picked her up again, and the next second, Fu Wan saw a school of fish clearly visible in the seawater, as well as a pod of orcas chasing after the fish.
That's an orca herding a school of fish!
The schools of fish on the seabed were densely packed, resembling a tornado. Fu Wan only regretted that she wasn't underwater right now, because such a fish storm would be a breathtaking sight if seen from the seabed.
"Waaah!"
With a few calls from the orcas, the baby orca beneath Fu Wan also moved. It carried Fu Wan and quickly swam to the side, forming a semicircle with the other orcas, and began to chase the school of fish in one direction.
Wait, that direction is...
Fu Wan squinted as she observed the direction the school of fish was moving. Now she truly admired the intelligence of these orcas.
If she weren't also one of the orcas chasing the fish, she would have found it hard to believe that these orcas were actually leading the fish towards their own boat!
At this moment, Boss Fu and the others on the ship were already numb.
They had just thrown out all their fishing nets to catch the fish on the surface of the sea.
They didn't even spare the hand-thrown nets!
However, the fish caught were mostly sardines and blue crabs. Jiang Chunlan and Ye Xiaocui had no energy left to pick through the fish. Sardines were worthless!
"Dad! Dad! Isn't that Awan and the orca over there?!"
Fu Ming was looking at the sea to see if he could throw a net when he saw the orca pod getting closer and closer, and he felt a little excited.
I wish I could ride that orca!
Dreams are beautiful, but reality is harsh.
Even if Fu Ming was slow to notice, he would have seen the school of fish being chased by the orca and constantly leaping out of the water.
"Dad, brother, let's log off!"
Fu Wan called out from afar, but she didn't know if Boss Fu and the others heard her. The little orca was swimming very fast, and in the blink of an eye, it brought Fu Wan to the vicinity of the ship.
"Good boy, go play!"
Fu Wan got off the orca's back and then climbed onto the deck.
As Boss Fu was throwing out his hand net, Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan also struggled to throw their trawl nets in as well.
"Ah Wan, these orcas are so smart, they even know how to herd fish for us!"
Ye Xiaocui was overjoyed. They didn't even have time to arrange the sardines on the deck in the fish baskets, so they simply shoveled them into the baskets with a shovel and would sort them later.
Trawling nets don't get pulled up that quickly, but hand-thrown nets can be pulled up within minutes of being thrown in.
Sure enough, the hand-throwing net was pulled up completely, and the veins on Boss Fu's neck were bulging. Fu Wan quickly went up to help, and the father and daughter worked together to pull the hand-throwing net up.
"Oh dear, what's with this fish?"
Ye Xiaocui exclaimed in surprise, and Fu Wan also carefully examined the fish in the hand-thrown net.
"Isn't this a six-banded trevally?"
"Wow, so many six-banded trevally! This is much more valuable than those sardines!"
Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan were both all smiles, and their earlier dejection had vanished. They were now full of energy as they took the six-banded trevally off the fishing net.
Fu Wan slapped her forehead. No wonder the fish were like a storm just now. The fish in the Jack Storm were six-banded trevally!
"Mom and Dad, these schools of fish were brought here by orcas. With so many six-banded trevally, they've probably encountered a jackfish storm!"
Ye Xiaocui didn't understand, "What's this 'storm'?"
A school of fish is a school of fish, but why is it so fancy, with foreign names?
Seeing everyone looking at her curiously, Fu Wan could only briefly explain the origin of Jack Storm.
Fish storms are formed when fish gather in large numbers, forming cylindrical or cone-shaped formations that resemble storms from a distance.
The reason why jackfish storms are called jackfish is because the international common name for trevally is jackfish, and the six-banded trevally is the representative fish group of this jackfish storm. Of course, in addition to trevally, many other fish also like to gather on the seabed to form storms.
Hearing Fu Wan's words, Ye Xiaocui and the others suddenly realized what was going on. However, even though they were discussing Jack Storm, they didn't stop working at all.
Since the hand-thrown net couldn't be cleared out, Boss Fu simply went to the front to trawle the fish, with Fu Liang following beside him. The two boats shuttled back and forth among the fish, determined to bring all the six-banded trevally into the fishing net.
Fu Ling and Fu Yun saw the adults busy and wanted to join in, but Fu Wan stopped them and let them go into the cabin to play.
The dorsal fins of these sea fish are very sharp. Children's skin is delicate, and if they are injured by them, they are prone to infection.
"Ah Wan, this six-banded trevally is much bigger than the ones we saw at the dock before!"
Jiang Chunlan picked up a six-banded trevally she had just picked up, and then compared it to her arm. The six-banded trevally was actually longer than her arm, and looked to be more than half a meter long.
Fu Wan examined the six-banded trevally; indeed, most of them were adults, some as long as 60-70 centimeters, others as short as 30-40 centimeters.
The six-banded trevally, also known as the red-eyed trevally, has a blue-green back and a silvery-white belly, with many black spots on the upper edge of its gill cover.
Adult six-banded trevally typically range in length from 30 to 60 centimeters, with the largest reaching 120 centimeters.
Seeing that they had almost finished cleaning up their hand-thrown nets, they had filled three large baskets with six-banded trevally.
Because Fu Wan no longer used the hand net when trawled from the boat, there were hardly any fish to be seen on the sea surface at this point.
Fu Wan looked into the distance and realized that the orca pod hadn't left yet, but was still playing and frolicking in the distance. A large fish suddenly appeared out of nowhere, but the orcas didn't eat it. They just nudged and bumped into each other, having a great time.
That fish too, what a terrible thing!
Fu Wan shook her head. Fu Laoda also felt that the trawling was about done, so he slowed down the boat considerably.
"Ah Wan, you can start hoisting the net!"
Fu Wan responded and then started cranking the net machine to pull up the trawl net from the sea.
With the creaking and groaning of the net-hauling machine, the fishing net slowly emerged from the water.
"The fishing nets are all full!"
Standing to the side, Ye Xiaocui could see the sea filled with fishing nets.
This fishing net has never been so full.
The next second, before anyone could react, the trawl net on the boom of the net hauler snapped, and then the bulging fishing net was seen to fall into the sea with a snap.
Oh my god, the fishing net is torn!!
