1609. Days of sea cucumber fishing

Qinshiou mainly raises two kinds of sea cucumbers here, Baini ginseng and Arctic ginseng. The former grows fast and has plump meat, but Arctic ginseng is better in terms of nutrition. The fishing age of wild Arctic ginseng is generally more than ten years. Ordinary cultured sea cucumbers will be caught in one or two years, and the value gap between the two is huge.

These sea cucumbers were planted in the second year after he came to the fishing ground. During this period, sea god energy was continuously input. Both white ginseng and Arctic ginseng grew well. However, Qin Shiou led the team mainly to catch white ginseng this time, and Arctic ginseng will make it grow for another year.

Of course, if you encounter Arctic ginseng that grows fat enough, you have to catch it. Anyway, as long as you grow to the limit, you won't grow much if you breed it again.

The sea water temperature of Newfoundland fishing ground is not suitable for breeding sea cucumber and abalone. Ordinary sea cucumber will stop predation and Hibernate below 56 degrees Celsius. They are very delicate. They will hibernate when the temperature is high and Hibernate when the temperature is low. During this period, they do not grow and are not suitable for fishing.

After Shaq issued the order to catch sea cucumbers, the fishermen began to get busy. Only senior fishermen could go to the sea to catch sea cucumbers. Geng Junjie and other later more than 20 fishermen were responsible for logistics. They could not go to the sea.

It's hard work to catch sea cucumbers. In the fishing season, you have to stick underwater for about 10 hours a day. Long time water pressure and immersion will lead to all kinds of joint diseases and lung diseases.

However, income is directly proportional to pay. A sea cucumber fishing season is usually one to two months. In such a short time, fishermen can harvest 50000 to 80000 Canadian dollars, which is higher than the average white-collar workers' income for the whole year.

However, there are still few people willing to fish sea cucumbers, and young people can't suffer this crime.

Shaq put on his diving suit. This is a heavy diving suit. Like an iron jar, people hide in it. There is an oxygen pipe to connect the diving suit with the oxygen generator on board. There is an iron pendant on the diving suit to drop people into the seabed.

Wearing a diving suit, he sighed: "there are fewer and fewer people willing to catch sea cucumbers, and there are fewer excellent fishermen. When my father was young, he could catch more than 2000 pounds of sea cucumbers a day. Now we can't do it. It's great to catch 1000 pounds a day."

Qin Shiou had to take the lead. He also put on his heavy diving suit and said with a smile, "that's good. He weighs 1000 pounds a day and earns 2000 Canadian dollars. It's 60000 yuan a month."

Although the fishing ground employs fishermen, he has to give fishermen extra rewards when doing a lot of work, such as fishing for bluefin tuna, and the fishermen who catch it have dividends; Another example is the fishing of sea cucumbers. Fishermen also pay dividends, basically more than one Canadian dollar per pound.

Qin Shiou treats his senior fishermen more sincerely and doubles their treatment directly. The fishermen can get two Canadian dollars, which is much better than working outside.

Sea cucumbers are expensive only when they are dried in the sun, but the high-quality sea cucumbers produced by Daqin fishing ground, even instant fresh sea cucumbers, are also very expensive. A fat pound costs more than $100, so he is willing to pay more dividends to the fisherman.

Geng Junjie and others looked at the senior fisherman with envy. Someone asked if they could follow the water to see it. They can bear hardships and go abroad to make money, so they don't want to miss such a chance to make money.

Qin Shiou shook his head and said, "there will be a batch of sea cucumbers in winter. Next time, you'll see what to do this time. You usually practice diving. It's not fun, guys. It's very dangerous!"

There are almost two harvest seasons for sea cucumber in a year. The spring is in April and may. The water temperature in Canada is relatively low. May is the peak season for sea cucumber harvest, and it can also be carried out in June. The harvest of sea cucumber in autumn is generally from the end of October to the middle of December.

There are two fishermen on a fishing boat. They cooperate to take charge of a sea area. This is to prevent many people from winding the oxygen hose with the underground sea at the same time. Qin Shiou and bull are on the same boat. When they arrive at the selected sea area, the oxygen generator on board begins to roar, and they are ready to go into the water.

The bull moved his joints to make his body hot. He said, "boss, how about this place we chose? I'm going to earn 4000 yuan today. Yes, I'm going down to catch 2000 pounds of sea cucumber! "

Qin Shiou looked around and said, "according to the Qi watching skill of the five element dragon searching formula, we have sea cucumbers below. We can catch them later."

The habitat distribution of sea cucumber is regular. Because Newfoundland fishing ground is very cold in winter, they will gather in the warm current channel under the sea. There are several warm currents in the fishing ground, and the fishermen know how wide the distribution range is.

In addition, sea cucumbers like to cling to reefs or corals, so as long as these conditions are combined and screened, it is easy to find sea cucumbers gathering places.

He hung the sea cucumber fishing net bag on his waist. Qin Shiou and the bull bit the oxygen pipe, put on the helmet like mask, gave each other thumbs up, sat by the side of the boat, turned back to the sea, and plumped into the sea.

As they sink, the oxygen pipe on the ship winds down like a small snake. There are fishermen on the ship who are responsible for logistics. When he sees that the oxygen pipe may be knotted, he will quickly open it to ensure that the oxygen enters the mouth of underwater workers smoothly.

The sea bottom chosen by Qin Shiou is at the southern edge of the coral reef. There is a warm current passing by. There are not only a large number of sea cucumbers here, but also very large. Normally, sea cucumbers can be processed into dry products for at least three years, which requires a long time.

The bottom of the sea is clean sand. Some colorful parrot fish come and go in and out of the coral. Their small mouths move constantly, and sand is excreted from their bodies.

This is why Qin Shiou breed parrot fish in large numbers. They can turn dead coral reefs into fine sea sand.

After entering the water, the bull looked at the dreamy coral reef. For a moment, he was obsessed. Instead of directly fishing for sea cucumbers, he walked along the edge of the coral reef and stroked the coral reef from time to time.

There were some sea cucumbers where Qin Shiou fell, but he looked. They were mainly Arctic cucumbers. They were still a little small, so there was no need to catch them.

Small sea cucumbers don't enjoy fishing. Not only are they small, but also because their meat is loose at this time, they can't be processed into dry sea cucumbers. If they insist on selling, they can only be processed into instant sea cucumbers. Such instant sea cucumbers not only have poor nutrition, but also have poor taste. No one is willing to buy them in the market.

After releasing the sea god's consciousness and wandering around, Qin Shiou immediately found a large group of sea cucumbers. After swimming, he took a look and saw a big fat and snow-white sea cucumbers first.

Although the name of white sea cucumber carries "white", in fact, their body color has nothing to do with white. This white sea cucumber is an individual that mutates in a natural state, albino sea cucumber.

The white sea cucumber was very fat. Qin Shiou reached out to pick it up. The nearby bull saw it and waved to him.
