Chapter 274 Level 45, a helpless passive function
The three groups of fish suspected to be tuna were not large in number, with three or four red dots displayed, and some with five or six, but no more than ten.
These tunas should be heading to Wanwan or Xiaorizi. It seems that he can come here to intercept them in the future.
After driving for almost an hour, Zhang Ze finally stopped with peace of mind.
This place is far away from the entrance of the strait to the high seas and is not on the main shipping route, so the possibility of encountering other ships is greatly reduced.
Zhang Ze stopped here and just had to wait for the tuna to pass by.
Fishermen from other regions may also know this migration route, but large tuna fishing teams will not come to where he is, and small fishing boats cannot come either.
So Zhang Ze turned on the fish-attracting light without any hesitation to see if there were any small squids.
If the small squids are attracted to form a large squid school, it may also attract nearby predators and passing tuna.
Zhang Ze prepared all the fishing rods on the deck, including the big winch and wrapped the fishing line.
Small fish can naturally be caught with a fishing rod, but if there are big fish weighing more than 500 kilograms, it is more convenient to use a large winch.
After he finished, he looked at the water surface and found that some small squids were attracted, but there were not many of them.
Zhang Ze returned to the cab, observed the fish finder, and began to wait patiently.
The red circles and red dots on the fish finder would change greatly every once in a while. Originally, the small red dots were scattered, but then, perhaps attracted by the small squids, they gradually became more and more.
Some fish in the middle and lower layers may have discovered food on the water surface and began to swim towards the surface.
It’s not that many deep-sea fish won’t come to the surface, but it depends on their own adaptation speed.
When they are hooked or captured, the speed of ascent is too fast for their bodies to adapt, and they swell and die due to the change in water pressure.
After waiting for about half an hour, a large school of fish had formed on the water surface. Zhang Ze was about to go fishing when he saw several large red dots suddenly appear at the edge of the screen.
His eyes lit up and he came to see the real boss.
The red dot swims in a water layer about 50 meters deep, and the closer it gets to the school of fish, the higher it moves.
Zhang Ze hurried out of the cab, exchanged for the special bait for tuna, hung it on the fish hook on the big winch, and cast the line to fish.
With the speed of the tuna, they should have reached the school of fish before he reached the deck at night.
Less than half a minute after the bait was put into the water on the big winch side, a signal of a bite was heard.
When Zhang Ze saw the fishing line was taut, he immediately used the winch to reel in the line. The winch, which was originally turning slowly outward due to the pull of the fish, trembled and immediately turned back to start reeling in the line.
The fish was in the upper water layer and not much fishing line was released. In just five minutes, a two-meter-long bigeye tuna was caught on the surface of the water.
This one is of average size, which is OK, but it would be faster to catch it with a fishing rod, after all, there are more of them there.
After collecting the fish, Zhang Ze came to the fishing rods. He hung tuna baits on two of the rods and ordinary baits on the remaining ones. He started the winch to let the baits enter the water one by one.
As soon as the bait entered the water, all the fishing rods began to shake, and the fish were caught very quickly.
Zhang Ze immediately got busy. The first fish he caught was a fast-swimming fish that looked similar to mackerel.
He didn't know what kind of fish they were. Some were big, some were small. The small ones were twenty or thirty centimeters, and the big ones were over half a meter.
After putting it into the space, I only knew its name was bighead carp, and it seemed to be delicious.
In addition to the three large trevally, the remaining two fishing rods also caught tuna, but the fish were relatively large and it took a little longer to pull them in.
Therefore, it took more than ten minutes before the fish were lifted into the air by the winch and collected by Zhang Ze. They were two bigeye tuna.
There are not many bigeye tunas. After catching only seven, no more fish took the bait. Now this batch of tunas has been caught in one net.
But Zhang Ze just put the bait in the water. If there is another tuna coming, it will naturally bite the hook. Anyway, the other three fishing rods are still busy! There are many fish attracted at night, and there are many kinds.
There were not only groupers living in the nearby strait, but also some deep-sea fish that had come to the surface of the water, including several big red snappers.
At this time, five huge fish were swimming slowly along the tuna's migration route.
They are huge, each one is over three meters long.
These five are obviously bluefin tuna, also known as Oriental bluefin or Pacific bluefin, which is a subspecies of bluefin tuna.
The other two are called northern bluefin and southern bluefin.
Southern bluefin bream are also found in China, generally appearing in the waters south of the Xisha Islands. Those over two and a half meters in length are considered king fish.
The northern bluefin bream is the Atlantic bluefin bream that was almost extinct in later generations.
It is said that domestic fisheries are overfishing, causing resources to become scarce, and that resources are well protected abroad.
In fact, foreign countries had already caught almost all the precious seafood when China was just starting to develop.
Only when we realized that if we continued like this, these things would become extinct did we start protecting them.
The number of Oriental bluefin in later generations is actually still acceptable, at most at the vulnerable level, unlike the Northern bluefin and Southern bluefin, which are both at the critically endangered level.
But now, there are still a lot of Oriental bluefin bream, and Zhang Ze can fish as much as he wants.
After all, no matter how hard he fishes, he can only catch dozens of tuna at a time. Professional tuna hunters can catch tens of thousands of tuna in one net, which is enough for him to fish more than two hundred times.
The five Oriental bluefin fins quickly noticed the feast on the water ahead and immediately swam quickly towards the surface by swinging their tails.
Compared with those deep-sea fish with fragile bodies, tuna's ability to adapt to water pressure far exceeds theirs.
With the speed of a tuna, this 100-meter distance can be covered in the blink of an eye.
The two fishing rods that had been motionless were suddenly pulled down hard, and looked like they were about to break.
Zhang Ze's eyes lit up. Another tuna came, and it was a big one.
He quickly started the winch, but the fishing line was recovered very slowly and the winch even made a squeaking alarm sound.
This fish is quite large, and even the winch here is very difficult to catch.
The tuna at the bottom of the water felt this force and refused to give in. It immediately burst out with all its strength and momentum.
But unfortunately, no matter how hard they tried, each outburst could only stop the winch for a moment, and then they were slowly pulled to the surface of the water by the winch again.
After all the trouble, the pulling force did not change at all, but they were exhausted.
Seeing that the small winch could slowly pull the fish back, Zhang Ze felt relieved and retrieved the three fishing lines nearby that were used to catch small fish.
We need to stop here for now to avoid being in a rush later.
Then he came to the big winch, hung a tuna bait and started fishing.
Judging from the appearance of the small winch, it will probably take quite a while.
He didn't know how many big tunas there were in the water, so he had to catch them all as quickly as possible.
The bait on the big winch entered the water and was caught by a tuna only a short while later. Judging from the speed at which the winch was forced to rotate, it was also a very large fish.
This makes sense. The two tunas over there are so big, so the rest will naturally not be small either.
However, after Zhang Ze started the winch, the tuna on this side had no power to resist at all, which was in sharp contrast to the other side.
Just now, the fish weighing more than 300 kilograms took five minutes to come up. Now, this big tuna only took five or six more minutes.
When Zhang Ze saw the big guy almost three meters above the water surface, he was surprised.
Wow, a bluefin fin over three meters long, isn't this definitely the king of fish? If it was just one, it wouldn't be such a surprise, but now there are two more, and I don't know if there are any more in the water.
As the bluefin was pulled into the air, he quickly put the fish into the space, then hung the bait and continued fishing.
[Successfully caught a bluefin tuna, weighing 758.54 catties, experience (fish king) +10000]
Wow, I finally caught a king of bluefin tuna. It was a pity that the previous one weighed over 600 pounds, it was just a little short.
This fish is 3.21 meters long and weighs more than 700 kilograms. Zhang Ze knows the standard of the king of Pacific bluefin fish.
The growth and cultivation functions are not used for the time being. He wants to catch all of these precious king fish and then decide how to arrange them based on the quantity.
In just forty minutes, five bluefin tunas, all of which were king fish, were caught.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Watching the fishing rod and fishing line return to calm, Zhang Ze knew that this batch of king fish were gone. He felt a little regretful. It would have been better if there were a few more.
The five bluefin breams are of relatively average size, with the smallest weighing 713 kilograms and being 3.07 meters long.
The largest one weighs 783 kilograms and is 3.29 meters long. They are all big guys who have lived for an unknown amount of time.
Zhang Ze started fishing for small fish again, while thinking whether he should train all these fish or upgrade them first.
The seafood restaurant is now on the right track. It doesn’t matter if there are no big fish, as long as we provide enough top-quality seafood.
Except for butter crabs, ordinary seafood does not require much experience points.
In addition, king bluefin tuna is indeed rare. Even though he caught five at once tonight, the chance of encountering one is very low.
There aren’t many large bluefin bream in the fishing grounds near Nanfang, but there are quite a few yellowfin bream.
Therefore, it seems that it is enough to go back and take one this time. As for the rest, I will take one out occasionally depending on the situation and do something similar to hunger marketing.
In this way, a lot of experience points can be temporarily saved and used in other places.
Originally, Zhang Ze had 71,000 experience points, plus the 50,000 here, which is 121,000.
It costs 87,000 to upgrade from level 43 to level 45, plus using the growth function on one of the bluefin king fish, that's 97,000, which is more than enough.
The experience required for breeding is negligible. Bluefin bream generally grow bigger and fatter, and have higher quality.
Therefore, the required training experience is very little, only twenty points.
Upgrade the space, cultivate the bluefin king fish, and keep the remaining 24,000 experience points for the time being.
[Fishing Space (Level 45)]
[Experience: 0/45000]
[Function: Magical bait, growth, harmful substance conversion, special breeding pool]
【Space size: 450 cubic meters】
[Fishing experience: 24632]
[Congratulations to the host for successfully reaching level 45, reward: Big Fish Visiting function (passive)]
[Big fish coming to the host: As long as the host goes out to sea, if there are fish weighing more than 100 kilograms (of economic value) within a range of ten nautical miles with the host as the center, there is a high probability that they will come to the host on their own initiative.]
[Note: This function is a passive ability that can be triggered as long as you go out to sea. It can be triggered up to four times per month.]
Seeing this function, Zhang Ze was somewhat amused and confused.
This function is too random. Large fish weighing more than 100 kilograms and having economic value may sound good, but they may not be valuable.
If it is an active function, he can also go to some specific places to try his luck and specifically attract some valuable big guys.
But because of the passive function, he didn't know if he would attract a big fish to follow him on the road.
However, it is better to have it than not. At least he won't have to go through so much trouble to look for the big guy everywhere in the future.
After catching these five bluefin tunas, two more batches of tuna were caught.
The time interval is not fixed. Sometimes the next batch arrives in half an hour, and sometimes they disappear for two hours.
After another all-night fishing trip, when the sky began to brighten, Zhang Ze sailed back to domestic waters.
Passing an area with a water depth of more than 180 meters, he saw a group of creatures on the bottom of the water as shown on the fish finder, so he simply threw the crab cage and shrimp cage down to see if he could catch anything.
After putting the cage away, he went to the kitchen to make a bowl of noodles and fed Xiao Hei, then he went back to his room to wash up and go to bed.
When I woke up, the sun had already set in the west. This time I slept for a very long time.
Looking at the twenty-three large tunas leisurely in the space, Zhang Ze felt that the hard work at night was worth it.
It would be time for dinner soon, so he went outside first and drove the boat to collect the crab and shrimp cages that had been put out, starting with the more troublesome crab cages.
As the first crab cage emerged from the water, there were only seven deep-sea fish, about 20 to 30 centimeters in size, inside. They must have entered by mistake through the small door.
There were also a dozen worthless steamed crabs. These crabs tasted average and were very cheap in the market.
Zhang Ze was very disappointed about this. It seemed that he still had to find a shallow water area to catch some swimming crabs from the deep sea, which was suitable in this season.
After collecting all ten crab cages, we obtained some deep-sea fish and hundreds of crabs.
After collecting the experience points, he released all the worthless crabs and a small number of deep-sea fish, and then Zhang Ze drove the boat to collect the shrimp cages.
However, when he brought up the first shrimp cage, the large orange-red shrimps with claws gave him a big surprise.
Lift up the shrimp cage and put all the crayfish inside into the space.
After looking at the name, it turned out to be the Red Spotted Sea Crayfish.
This is a kind of crayfish produced domestically, and its taste is actually not inferior to those famous crayfish from abroad.
For example, the New Zealand crayfish, which just grows bigger.
The red-spotted crayfish can be found in the Yellow, East and South China Seas of China. It is a widely distributed crayfish. However, there are other precious crayfish in the East China Sea, and they are even considered top-notch sashimi crayfish in China.
Zhang Ze was very happy to catch this.
This shrimp cage caught 33.5 kilograms of crayfish. If the following shrimp cages are added together, he should be able to harvest about 300 kilograms of crayfish.
Chixian Seafood Restaurant can add another exquisite sashimi dish.
