The shrimps are reddish in color, and some of the big ones are as big as Zhang Ze's palm. It is obvious at a glance that they are valuable marine shrimps, which can be distinguished directly from their appearance.
There are many valuable shrimps in the South China Sea, the most famous of which are black tiger shrimp and tiger prawn.
Zhang Ze collected the crab cage and found it somewhat familiar but he couldn't seem to remember it for a moment.
So he reached out and grabbed a big shrimp and put it into the space, and only then did he know the real name of shrimp.
The long-haired white shrimp is also one of the large shrimps among the penaeid shrimps. It is more common in the southern waters of China. It is one of the very important economic shrimps for marine fishing and later it also appeared to be on a large scale.
When Zhang Ze saw the name, his face suddenly became clear and he remembered.
The hairy prawn is also called red-tailed shrimp, and looks very similar to prawns.
However, the tails of prawns are mainly blue-green and brown-yellow, and can be distinguished by color.
Red tail shrimps are quite good, with tender meat, and their price is slightly lower than that of black tiger shrimps and tiger prawns.
It is much better than red shrimp. Fishermen now process red shrimp together with miscellaneous fish. Some women in the fishing village go to the dock to pick out these red shrimps and sell the big ones to Jin Guangcheng.
The price Jin Guangcheng offered was very low, one cent per pound.
But this red-tailed shrimp is much more expensive. Although it is not as expensive as the exported prawns, it can still be sold for 80 cents per pound.
Zhang Ze quickly collected the living red-tailed shrimps into the space, otherwise some of them would die.
After collecting them, he looked at the weight recorded in the space and found that it was 47.6 pounds, which was very good and a little more than he had guessed.
There are ten shrimp cages in total. If each shrimp cage contains this much, we can get several hundred kilograms of red-tailed shrimps, which is a lot.
We will continue here today, so Zhang Ze shook the shrimp cage, took a look at the bait inside, and threw it back into the water when he saw that there was no problem.
As the shrimp cages came up one by one, he collected more and more red-tailed shrimps into the space.
There must have been a group of red-tailed shrimps nearby last night, so there were very few other shrimps in the shrimp cage.
After Zhang Ze collected all of them into the space, he obtained 421 kilograms of red-tailed shrimps and some other shrimps.
He took out more than a pound of tiger prawns and three black tiger prawns that had wandered in for his own lunch, and threw the remaining worthless shrimps into the cold storage compartment to use as bait.
After collecting the shrimp cages, Zhang Ze continued to collect the crab cages.
However, as the crab cage was revealed, he felt helpless when he saw several lobsters inside.
It is indeed not easy to catch crabs in shallow waters in winter, as crabs basically do not come out when the weather is cold.
Since there was nothing left, Zhang Ze stopped placing the crab cages here and collected them all and placed them on the deck.
I'll go deep-sea fishing later, looking for tuna and other large fish, and then see if there's any deep water area to throw the crab cage down.
After collecting ten crab cages, Zhang Ze harvested more than a dozen lobsters and two parrotfish that had strayed into one of them.
Returning to the cockpit, we started the operation of the Duoyu, left the reef, and began to sail towards the isolated island group.
I haven’t been to the isolated islands for a long time, and I don’t know if I can gain anything today.
However, sometimes accidents often strike suddenly.
When they were almost halfway through the voyage, Zhang Ze accidentally discovered a trench.
The trench is not very long, so I didn’t notice it when I went back and forth before.
The trench is a gathering place for fish, and many big fish like to hide in it.
At this time, the fish finder detected a large school of fish above the trench.
Zhang Ze quickly wrote down the coordinates. This was a good place. Even if all the fish were caught today, it would definitely be full of fish again if he came here after a while, so he had to visit here often.
After parking the boat, he was about to go out when Jin Sanbao's voice rang out on the radio.
"Aze, can you hear me? Can you hear me? Are the shrimp cages on this island yours?"
Zhang Ze was also a little surprised when he heard the voice, and replied: "I can hear you guys are actually on this island. I came here yesterday and didn't see any boats, so I thought you guys went somewhere else."
Tong Yuanhang also entered the channel at this time. After hearing what he said, he said: "We encountered a small school of fish yesterday. After we were done, we took a rest and did not go back. Thinking that you might come, we returned to the island to take a look, and then we found a few shrimp cages."
"By the way, where are you now? Do you want to have lunch together?"
"I found a trench near the island. There are a lot of fish there. I'm going to go fishing!" Zhang Ze looked at the water depth here. The fish finder showed that the trench was more than 170 meters deep, and it was obviously full of deep-sea fish.
It was fine for him to use a winch to fish on his boat, but Jin Sanbao and Tong Yuanhang were on a trawler, so they had to use hand nets to fish. It was not easy to fish at a depth of more than 170 meters, so they did not invite him.
"Oh, so you'll be back at noon?" Jin Sanbao was not tempted when he heard that he had found a school of fish in the trench. He had been out to sea for so long and had even used a trawler. He knew very well that the terrain was not suitable for his fishing work.
"How about at night? I plan to go fishing at the reef at night." Zhang Ze said after thinking for a while.
It's always boring to be alone at sea for a long time, so it's nice to go back and get together at night.
This is also the reason why Jin Sanbao and his friends usually go out to sea together and come back together. It is more lively when there are more people! They agreed to go back at night, so they did not continue chatting.
Zhang Ze went out and threw all the crab cages down to see if he could luckily catch some deep-sea crabs. Then he drove the boat to the top of the trench and turned off the engine.
I went to the warehouse and took out all the heavy boat rods. The fish hiding in the trenches are big, usually weighing more than ten kilograms, so small fishing rods are not very useful.
After installing the fishing rod and tying the fishing line, lead sinker, hook, etc., Zhang Ze took out an ordinary fishing bait and hung it on, then turned on the winch to let out the line.
The top of the trench is 176 meters, so the hook and bait just need to be lowered to about 180 meters.
You can fish for fish in the upper layer of the trench first, and if there are fewer fish, continue to lower the depth of the hook and bait.
Maybe there were too many fish, and two of the fishing rods were caught by fish when the lines were only about 150 meters long.
Zhang Ze immediately turned the rolling direction of the winch and began to reel in the line.
The fish was so powerful that even the heavy boat pole was pulled into the shape of an arch.
It was over 150 meters deep and it took the winch five or six minutes to successfully catch a fish.
Zhang Ze was a little surprised when he saw the fish. It looked like a small tuna, but also like a kind of bonito. He didn't recognize it.
The winch continued to turn, and the fish was directly out of the water and caught in the air. He used a scoop net to get the fish over, blocked it with the side of the boat, and then put the fish into the space.
[Successfully caught a bluefin tuna, weighing 17.65 catties, experience +15. ]
Is this Qinggan? Zhang Ze has learned something new. He has never fished in Qinggan before, so he doesn't know what it is.
This is a small tuna, the smallest in the tuna family.
The largest is only 70 centimeters in length and weighs no more than 30 kilograms.
The price is naturally not that high, but it is definitely much more expensive than ordinary bonito. The main reason is that the price of bonito is too low, almost the same as cabbage.
Although the bluefin tuna is not very famous, it is still sold well in seafood restaurants.
The Chaoshan people themselves have the habit of eating raw, marinated and sashimi fish, and the people of Nanfang, which is so close, naturally eat it as well. Even if a lot of bluefin tuna is caught, it can be consumed.
What’s more, the recipes of Nanguan people are even more exaggerated, with many dishes that seem dark to outsiders.
Of course, Zhang Ze is not seen much in the market now. That will have to wait a few years until the economy here is fully developed.
After the fish was caught here, a fish on the other side also successfully emerged from the water. It was also a green carp, but a little smaller.
It looks like a group of green mullets have come to the bottom of the water, so we will definitely have a big harvest today.
After collecting the fish, hanging the bait and letting out the line, just as the bait was activated, the other three fishing rods that successfully sent the bait to the trench also started to move. For a while, Zhang Ze was extremely busy.
The fish caught in the trench are not green and sweet fish, but larger fish such as seven-band grouper, red grouper, and red snapper.
There are many kinds of fish, and each time you catch something different.
Within an hour, Zhang Ze caught three kinds of grouper, including seven-band grouper, oily grouper and tiger grouper.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Unfortunately, there is no ciguatera toxin, so it cannot be converted to improve the nutrition and taste of the meat.
Zhang Ze fished from morning to night, and he didn't even know how many fish he had caught. When he came to his senses, he found that the space was already four-fifths full and was densely packed with fish.
There are indeed big fish in the trench, weighing 11 or 12 kilograms on average.
Zhang Ze looked at the total weight of all the fish in the space and found that it was more than 13,700 kilograms.
Yesterday, he caught a lot of fish at the school of fish discovered by the seabirds. Among them, there were 27 yellowfin tunas weighing more than 4,500 kilograms. Together with the tarpon, there were 5,000 kilograms.
There were several hundred kilograms of shrimps in the morning, so he caught almost eight thousand kilograms of fish today, with more than eight hundred fish, which is really exaggerated.
This is the efficiency of semi-automatic winch fishing, which is not much different from longline fishing.
At most, we can put two longlines on this side of the trench, and we may not be able to catch more than 800 fish.
How wonderful! I just need to catch a few more big fish in the remaining time, and the mission of this trip to the sea will be accomplished.
Just when Zhang Ze was about to put away his fishing rod and prepare to return to the island, he unexpectedly discovered that the experience points in the space had accumulated to the point where he could be upgraded, even if it was just enough.
Now the space is already level 39, wouldn't it be possible to unlock new functions if it were upgraded to level 39? Zhang Ze chose to upgrade without hesitation.
[Fishing Space (Level 40)]
[Experience: 0/40000]
[Function: Magical bait, growth, harmful substance conversion, special breeding pool]
【Space size: 400 cubic meters】
[Fishing experience: 524]
"Special breeding pool?" This new function successfully aroused Zhang Ze's curiosity. Breeding pool, what to breed? Is he going to breed? Why would a fisherman like him breed? How boring!
Special breeding pool: The space is 100 cubic meters (cannot be upgraded). According to the aquatic species, the corresponding top-quality aquatic products can be cultivated. For example, if a female blue crab is put in, a butter crab can be cultivated. The greater the degree of change, the more experience points are required.
"Hiss~" After learning about this new function, Zhang Ze took a breath of cold air. The previous functions are nothing compared to this one! Breeding female blue crabs into butter crabs is like turning a hundred yuan into two thousand yuan! Through detailed understanding, Zhang Ze understood the power of this breeding pool.
Its main function is to cultivate the aquatic products that Zhang Ze catches and puts in to the best state in terms of taste, texture and deliciousness.
Different aquatic products have different improvement effects, so the experience points required are also different.
For example, it takes one thousand experience points to breed a female blue crab into a butter crab.
However, considering the difficulty for Zhang Ze to gain experience points, if he does not catch a king fish or something during a trip to the sea, he can only breed a few at most.
But male blue crabs require very little experience points, only ten points.
Because after being cultivated well, the taste will be better and the meat will be sweeter, but the price and other conveniences will not change much.
Mackerel, on the other hand, requires more experience points than male blue crabs, requiring fifty points.
Common or caught mackerel is very cheap, even cheaper than bonito.
However, the mackerels farmed in later generations are not only larger in size, but also have a fatter and more delicious texture.
The breeding pond can cultivate mackerel to a better state than that of daily farming.
Zhang Ze immediately thought of the seafood boat. With this breeding pond, the three largest seafood restaurants would no longer need to rely on big fish to hype their products!
When these premium seafoods are brought out, every customer will be full of praise for them.
Moreover, compared with the singleness of large fish, the seafood cultivated in breeding ponds is more diverse and will probably be more popular.
Although there is a transformation function that can improve the tastiness of fish, the gap compared to the breeding pond is quite large.
The conversion function is mainly aimed at harmful substances, while the cultivation pool is specifically used to cultivate delicious food.
Therefore, Zhang Ze focused his attention on the harvest of the past two days in the space.
He chose a three-pound flower dragon, a five-pound red-tail shrimp, an eight-pound seven-band grouper and a fifteen-pound green Gansu.
Put the flower dragon in first, it only requires twenty experience points.
Five kilograms of red-tail shrimp cost fifty points, and eight kilograms of seven-band grouper only cost thirty points.
Qinggan, on the other hand, requires a lot more, 120 points.
Seeing that the improvement potential of tuna seemed to be very large, Zhang Ze thought about it, and then selected two green tuna to put in, and found that the required experience points were actually different.
The last two, one is particularly fat and has a high fat content, and the other is particularly thin and does not look tasty.
The fat one only needs thirty experience points, but the thin one needs one hundred and sixty, which is a huge difference.
Obviously, the final result of the breeding pond is that the taste and texture of the same type of aquatic products will be similar.
There are also certain differences in the time it takes to cultivate. Those with less experience points will be cultivated very quickly, and the flower dragon only needs two minutes.
The thinnest green Gan crab takes sixteen minutes, which means that the longest time for butter crab is about one hundred minutes.
It’s great that you don’t have to wait too long. Zhang Ze will never lack delicious seafood to eat in the future.
Now it seems that all he needs to do is to distinguish this premium seafood from ordinary seafood and make people believe it.
This is not difficult. Just set up a table for Zhao Xianghua to taste. After eating, Zhang Ze doesn't need to do anything, the other party will raise the price. (End of this chapter)
