My eldest niece also shouted, "Wow, what a big fish! It's huge! Auntie, Auntie, hurry up and sail over there, let's try to catch one!"
Little Erni stomped her feet excitedly, "Auntie, catch a big fish, catch a big fish!"
Yu Yang turned to the two of them and said, "Don't catch them! Don't catch them! Dolphins and whales are good friends of humans!"
"The Dragon King will be angry if we capture them! We must protect them!"
Chen Hong was also very happy, as this was the first time she had seen whales and dolphins in the East China Sea this year!
After chasing the school of fish for twenty minutes, I got closer and saw that it was indeed a school of mackerel.
They may have come to the northern waters to lay their eggs, but were spotted by whales and dolphins along the way.
It's not just dolphins and whales that hunt schools of mackerel; there are also other large, carnivorous, and ferocious fish such as mahi-mahi and sea barracuda.
"Fish are being fried! Fish are being fried! Everyone, look!"
The schools of mackerel in the sea were like wasps passing by, dense and overwhelming, covering the entire sea surface like a swirling cloud, what a magnificent mackerel storm.
That's spectacular!
Driven to desperation by the large, carnivorous fish, the mackerel school unleashed its instinct for survival, leaping one or two meters above the sea surface.
This was such a rare sight that Chen Hong had never seen it before. She had never known that mackerel could leap across the surface of the sea and swim forward at high speed.
Mackerel, dolphins, and whales all have streamlined bodies, and the sight of them leaping on the surface of the sea is truly breathtaking.
"These mackerel are quite big! They're like little cannonballs and quite plump. How much are mackerel per pound these days? Old Chen, go get a landing net and quickly catch some mackerel."
Chen Hong's mother now sees money in everything. She shouted loudly at Chen Hong's father, "Seeing such a large school of fish go by in front of me, I feel like I'm missing out if I don't get some."
"Mackerel isn't worth much! If it's not during the fishing ban, you can make a good living by catching a few schools of mackerel and netting them."
But it's the closed season for fishing, so we can't use nets. How many fish can we catch with a dip net?
Chen Hong laughed heartily. Her mother was exactly the same as when she first went to sea two years ago, calculating the price of everything she saw first.
This is definitely the epitome of a money-grubbing mom! Hahaha!
"Dad, don't listen to Mom. The fish swim fast, and there are big fish like dolphins and whales around. There might even be sharks underwater."
Don't miss the fish and end up in the sea. You can't swim, it's too dangerous! We're not short of money, so don't risk it by trying to catch fish, it's not worth it.
Nothing is more important than your life!
I take you out to sea to show you the scenery and broaden your horizons, not to make you money.
You guys should relax and enjoy the scenery! Such a large fish storm is rare to see; we're lucky to have caught it, so let's appreciate it.
Although Chen Hong refused to let her father use a landing net to catch fish, her mother persisted and kept nagging:
"Xiao Hong, if you ask me, you're just lazy. Why didn't you bring a fishing net on the boat?"
Hidden in the cabin, no one can see it; it might come in handy when a school of fish comes along.
It broke my heart to see so many mackerel slip away right before my eyes!
Chen Hong's father laughed at her: "Didn't Xiao Hong say that you can't bring nets onto boats during the fishing ban? If you get caught by the fishery administration, they will be confiscated and you will be fined."
I think you're just talking nonsense. Even if the fish were handed to you, you wouldn't have the ability to catch it.
Your child brought you to the sea to broaden your horizons; you should be grateful if you don't get seasick!
Do you think just anyone can catch fish? Let me tell you, even if I had a fishing net, I wouldn't know how to use it, and I would just watch this huge school of fish slip away.
If fishing were that easy, the sea would be overflowing with people; no matter how many fish there were, there wouldn't be enough to keep up with so many people fishing.
Watching the swarming fish disappear into the distance, Mom said irritably, "I'm not watching anymore! It's making my eyes dizzy and giving me a headache!"
After everyone had had their fill of watching, and the children were practically screaming themselves hoarse, Chen Hong finally turned the boat around and headed home.
"Alright, we've seen enough. We need to hurry home! We've stayed out too late today."
Mom and Dad waved goodbye to the dolphins with regret: "Goodbye! We're going home now. You should go home too after you've eaten!"
Da Ni and Er Ni shouted loudly, "It's getting dark, let's go home quickly!"
Goodbye, adorable little dolphins; goodbye, great whales!
Chen Hong did not slow down along the way, speeding all the way home as quickly as possible.
Two hours later, she encountered a fishing boat belonging to a breeding company that had come to pick up the yellow croaker.
After communicating for a while and telling them the coordinates of the fishing spot, Chen Hong transferred the two yellow croakers to their boat.
"Hey, these two yellow croakers look a bit different from the ones we've caught before."
One researcher exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the yellow croaker.
Chen Hong laughed when she heard this, and mischievously teased him: "Isn't this a yellow croaker? That's great! If it's not a yellow croaker, I can sell it for money! How about this? I'll take these two fish back to the boat."
The people from the breeding company panicked: "That won't do! It's a yellow croaker, it must be a yellow croaker!"
It has a slightly different color from the yellow croakers we've caught before.
All other physical characteristics are exactly the same. This fish can't be sold; it's illegal, you know that?
The other researchers from the breeding company on board laughed: "She's just kidding! Chen Hong isn't the kind of person who's greedy for money."
You're late to the party, but over the past two years, Chen Hong has provided substantial funding for our company's research projects.
They have provided us with several rare live aquatic specimens, making them our most valuable partner.
This Spring Festival, she donated another million yuan to our company free of charge!
