Chapter 1125

After the Spring Festival, Qin Shiou ordered a batch of shrimp cages again through Dajiao reyek. This time, he ordered a full 1000 pairs, that is, 2000 lobsters. If it goes well, he can collect five to ten tons of lobsters.

For the current seafood market, five to ten tons of Maine lobster is a considerable wealth. If this batch of Maine lobster is of high quality, its value is even worse to estimate.

The impact of lobster kiwis on the North American lobster market began to show its power this year.

Qin Shiou remembered that when he first went to Winnie's house for Christmas, Winnie's father Mario complained that he usually bought a pair of two pound lobsters for a little more than $100, but that time he spent $400 to win such a pair of lobsters.

Of course, it is also affected by Christmas. At that time, no matter what seafood, there will be a premium.

But now in the market, even in ordinary times, it costs $400 to buy a pair of two pound Boston lobsters!

In the past, if it was the autumn lobster fishing season, such a pair of lobsters was only $40. Of course, lobster production in spring is less and the price is more expensive, but the maximum is $100. Now the premium has reached 400%!

After Butler's arrival, Qin Shiou ordered the fishermen to place shrimp cages in the fishing ground. The newly ordered 2000 cages, together with the 200 cages purchased during lobster fishing in St. Lawrence Bay, were put into the fishing ground.

Seeing the fishermen's confident release of shrimp cages, Barrett's dark face was full of surprises: "Oh, Xuete, Qin, are there lobsters in your fishing ground? As far as I know, isn't your fishing ground only two years old? "

Lobsters grow slowly and generally take six years to grow to a pound. In the United States and Canada, the minimum size of legally caught fresh lobsters - calculated according to the length of the shell - requires 3.25 inches, which is about the weight of a pound.

In other words, lobsters must be at least six or seven years old before they meet the fishing regulations. It is estimated that about 85-90% of the lobsters caught in North America each year can meet this legal specification.

That's why Butler was curious. It was only two years since Qin Shiou took over Daqin fishery, and the fishery had a good harvest of lobsters?

Indeed, there is a good harvest of lobsters in Daqin fishing ground.

The wonderful use of Poseidon energy is infinite. Qin Shiou has not understood it now. After bluefin tuna absorbs Poseidon energy, their growth speed has not accelerated, but the meat quality has improved a lot. After the lobster absorbs the energy of Poseidon, it is soaring!

Like the crayfish in Qin Shiou's hometown, Maine crayfish need to shell many times in their life to grow up. They shell about 2 to 3 times a year when they are young and about once a year when they grow up. When they can produce, they basically shell 14 to 5 times.

The lobsters in Daqin fishing ground can be shelled once a month and more than ten times a year. That's no problem, so they can be produced in more than a year. Qin Shiou watched the bottom of the fishing ground. The lobster group was vast, and there were no lack of more than ten pounds of lobsters.

In normal times, lobsters grow to 15 pounds, which takes 50 years! In Daqin fishing ground, their growth rate only depends on the amount of Poseidon energy absorbed. The more they grow, the faster they grow.

Qin Shiou also considered this problem. He believes that the evolution of species by Poseidon energy is necessary for their survival.

For example, bluefin tuna, the higher the fat ratio in their meat, the more energy they reserve, the stronger their swimming ability and survival ability, so Poseidon energy increases the fat content in their meat.

When we come to Maine lobster, because there is lobster kiwi in the sea water, they need more indestructible shells to protect themselves, so they constantly molt - every time lobster changes its shell, the shell texture will become stronger and better.

Lobster is also the one that can confirm his guess. There are two kinds of lobsters in Daqin fishing ground. One is the rainbow lobster, which is developed for the first time. The shell of this lobster is mutated, with dreamlike color, and is particularly hard. It is not afraid of collision and bacterial invasion. They molt for a long time and grow slowly.

The fast-growing lobsters were later put into production. Their crustaceans did not change into rainbow colors. Viewed from the outside, they were not different from ordinary Maine lobsters, and the hardness of their crustaceans was not different. In this way, their molting speed and growth were very fast.

After hearing Butler's question, Qin Shiou explained freely: "man, the reason is very simple. These lobsters were left by the fishing ground before. I think you should know that before I came, my fishing ground was vacant for at least 20 years, including 10 years! "

"No one has caught in the past 20 years?" Barrett asked incredulously.

Qin Shiou shrugged and said, "of course not. This is my grandfather's private fishing ground. He has great prestige on the island. Without his permission, fishermen would rather go out into the sea than come to his fishing ground to catch. That's why there are so many lobster and sea fish resources."

"What a successful recuperation." Butler said with emotion, "Qin, you take advantage of this guy. I'm so lucky. I'm very jealous of you, very!"

Then he didn't believe it: "then no one came to steal the fish? I think no one helped you watch the fishing ground in those days. "

Qin Shiou secretly scolded the grandson for being cunning and difficult to deal with, so he had to continue to explain: "they will steal fish, but who will be interested in worthless lobsters? You know, Canada used to produce 70000 tons of lobster a year! "

Butler was finally fooled and nodded to approve Qin Shiou's statement.

Because of the long and narrow coastline and relatively few fishermen, Canada has been rich in lobster resources. Maine lobsters account for about half of the total lobster production in North America.

About 75% of the lobsters are caught by small fishing boats. They usually work in the waters of St. Lawrence Bay and Newfoundland. They don't need to steal and can catch openly.

Moreover, if it were not for the attack of lobster kiwi, lobster fishing would not make money, so who is willing to risk arrest to catch some worthless things? Pollock and Atlantic cod are much more expensive.

This is also one of the reasons why Butler said Qin Shiou was lucky. As soon as he took over the fishing ground, the world lobster market fell into turmoil, which gave him the opportunity to make a big profit.

Qin Shiou invited Butler to the villa for coffee. Bearded dragged a chair and sat on the dock and said, "no, no, no, man, I won't go. I want to stay here. I especially like the fishing ground in spring."

"I've been to many places and seen beautiful scenery, but your fishing ground has the most beautiful sea water I've ever seen. Every time I see this crystal clear sea water, my beating heart of a prodigal son will be quiet." Beard began to express his feelings.

Qin Shiou touched his forehead and asked, "are you feverish or coquettish?"

Butler: "
