The Yu Xue, which Bai Yu and his companions were traveling on, set off from the South China Sea and sailed outside Taiwan Province. When passing the Diaoyu Islands, it passed between the Diaoyu Islands and Chiwei Island.
As for the disputed Diaoyu Islands?
To hell with the disputed Diaoyu Islands! Even Chiwei Island belongs to us, let alone Diaoyu Island, which is even closer to us. If it's not ours, whose is it?
This is why Bai Yu and his crew sailed so smoothly. No one or any vessel dared to cause trouble during the journey. Otherwise, he would have shown them what it felt like to be sprayed with twenty high-pressure water cannons at once.
Perhaps it was the sheer pressure of their fleet that made their voyage so smooth.
When they passed by the notebook, Bai Yu and his group didn't back down at all. They were driving normally and hadn't done anything wrong, so who were they afraid of?
Of course, when they passed by the notebook, none of their company's trawl nets were laid down, not a single one.
It wasn't that Bai Yu was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble by fishing here; the main reason was that Bai Yu disliked the seawater here, as it was too dirty, and he was afraid of catching something unpleasant.
The experience of going beachcombing at Xiaobenzi's place was still fresh in Bai Yu's mind; those mutated seafood were truly terrifying.
It wasn't until they reached the Pacific Ocean that Bai Yu ordered all the ships to lower their trawl nets; they were ready to get to work!
Moreover, Bai Yu and his crew did not cast their nets blindly; they only began to cast them in unison after the fish finders showed a signal.
According to the fish finder, a school of fish had appeared in their flight path, but the school was not very large and was somewhat scattered.
However, adhering to the principle that even a tiny piece of fish is still fish, Bai Yu and his ten fishing boats cast their nets at the same time to annihilate this scattered school of fish!
They are currently in the waters off Sapporo, and even the eldest uncle is a little unsure about the fish population in this area.
Unless the fish swim to the surface and show Bai Yu and his crew what they are, they will have to wait until they haul in the net to see what kind of fish they caught.
Two hours later, as the Yuxue sailed at full speed, the No. 1 fishing net was retrieved by the crew on deck. Just a few seconds later, my uncle's walkie-talkie rang.
"Captain, Captain, something terrible has happened! We've encountered some scattered salmon, salmon!"
Bai Yu didn't hear the whole thing because of the noisy sound, but his eyes lit up when he heard the word "salmon".
Salmon? Was it the salmon he was imagining?
"Uncle, is he talking about salmon? The kind of salmon that you can use to make salmon sushi?"
In Bai Yu's mind, salmon is synonymous with salmon, but he is a little confused about the difference because there are so many varieties of salmon, and he is not sure which type of salmon is used to make salmon.
That's why he asked his uncle, who was standing next to him, as his uncle probably knew more about this.
"Xiaoyu, we are currently in the Pacific Ocean. Most of the salmon available on the market is made from Atlantic salmon, which are farmed there."
However, Pacific salmon can also be used to make salmon dishes. The flesh is basically the same as that of Atlantic salmon, and in some cases, Pacific salmon is even of higher quality.
The uncle explained to Bai Yu the sources of salmon on the market, which can be summarized in one sentence: most salmon are imported, and they are basically farmed fish.
As for Pacific salmon, they are not so easy to raise. Here's a simple reason why, and you'll understand.
Pacific salmon have a migratory habit; no matter where they usually live, they will eventually return to their birthplace to spawn.
In some places, they can even cross the entire Pacific Ocean, swimming from the west side of the Pacific to the east side, and then spawning in the rivers of the Americas.
That's right, Pacific salmon are fish that can live in both freshwater and saltwater.
You've all seen animal documentaries, right? The brown bears there eat salmon and chum salmon, which are migrating salmon.
The salmon that Bai Yu and his companions encountered this time were salmon that were migrating.
The reason the crew on deck were so excited was that when salmon begin their migration, they gather into a very large school and swim together in the same direction.
The scattered schools of salmon they've encountered are very likely searching for larger schools. If they were to encounter a large school of salmon...
Why would they bother buying king crabs from some big goose farm? Wouldn't it be better to just catch these salmon directly?
These can all be made into salmon, and besides the fish meat, these migratory salmon also have something valuable: fish roe.
They migrate back to their birthplace to mate and lay eggs, and when their bellies are full of roe, they catch a net full of salmon and become rich!
Moreover, the timing of their encounter with these salmon was excellent, as it was already near the end of the salmon migration season. Even if they caught all the salmon they encountered, it would have no impact on the salmon population.
After all, for those salmon that migrate earlier, they would probably have already returned to their birthplace to mate and spawn by this time.
Therefore, Bai Yu and his group can now fish with peace of mind, and whatever they catch is theirs.
Then my uncle used the boat radio to call other fishing boats to inquire about their catch and see if they were also catching salmon.
If these are all salmon, then they can be certain that this scattered school of fish is indeed migrating salmon, and following them might actually lead to encountering a large school of salmon!
Soon, the other fishing boats replied to them. That was right, the other fishing boats had also caught salmon, and the catch in one net was not very large, only a little over 10,000 catties.
Ten thousand catties is really not a lot. For salmon in their migratory season, that's at most a thousand or so salmon.
After all, salmon at this time of year have to travel a long distance, crossing the entire Pacific Ocean. If they don't eat their fill, where will they get the energy to do such a migration?
Needless to say, the female fish alone weigh several kilograms with their roe, not to mention their overall weight.
So, the catch of over 10,000 kilograms of salmon in one net is really not much. The main problem is that the migrating salmon schools are too scattered, which greatly limits the fishing opportunities for the fishermen.
However, it's not a big problem. Even if there are some issues, it's fine. Anyway, their current course is correct, and they are still heading towards the geese, as if another, larger school of salmon is over there.
After discussing it with his uncle, Bai Yu and his uncle made a joint decision: to follow the salmon for two days and see how it went.
If they can find that large school of salmon, they will fish for it; if they can't, they will have to give up on the salmon and go to the geese farm instead.
Fishing boats, especially those going to other port cities in Da'e to purchase goods, need to change their routes in advance, otherwise they will have to take a detour.
After a day of fishing at this scattered school of salmon, with ten fishing boats bringing in approximately 500,000 to 600,000 kilograms of salmon, they stopped.
It wasn't that they didn't want to continue fishing, but rather that the fish population had become extremely small. Bai Yu and his group were afraid that if they continued fishing, the fish would disperse, and it would be bad if they couldn't find the main group then.
So they were forced to stop fishing and silently follow behind the salmon as they continued their voyage.
After sailing for about another day, just as Bai Yu and the others were busy with their respective coastal routes, a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared on the sea.
Not far ahead of their fishing boat, waves were splashing on the sea. The sea was calm and still, but the waves were creating large plumes of mist, which looked spectacular.
Moreover, these waves stretched out to a very long distance; at least to the naked eye of Bai Yu and the others, they seemed to have no end in sight.
Even though no one in the captain's cabin spoke when they saw the splash, everyone knew what it meant.
This is the school of salmon they've been searching for for two days, and they've finally found it!
Moreover, judging from the length of the wave, the size of this school of salmon is terrifying. At least for now, even if all ten of their fishing boats were filled to capacity, it would be impossible to catch all the fish.
This school of salmon is absolutely huge!
