Catch the sea: start with a sand shovel and take over the entire beach

"How many are there?" Zhao Qin took the fish handed to him by Ah He, took a look at it and asked.

"Almost all of it. It weighs several thousand kilograms."

I took a closer look at the fish. It wasn't very big, only about 200-300 grams, and about 15-16 centimeters long.

Its whole body is bright red, just like the crayfish mentioned above. It is brightly colored all over and is obviously a typical deep-water fish.

"The eyes are black, it's not a golden eye snapper at all, it's a big-eyed chicken."

In fact, big-eyed chicken is also a local common name. The scientific name should be big-eyed porgy, which belongs to the genus Big-eyed porgy family.

The reason why Ah He said it was golden eye snapper is because there are many similarities between the two. First, they are both red in color, and second, they both have big eyes and big mouths.

Of course, there are also many differences between the two. The most obvious ones are the eyes. The eyes of the golden eyed bream are golden yellow, while the eyes of the big eyed bream are normal black.

Secondly, the bigeye snapper does not grow large, while the golden eye snapper can grow to one or two kilograms in size.

The largest of these fish is estimated to weigh only about 300 grams, making it an extremely small fish in the ocean.

Don't underestimate its small size. It tastes very good, and its meat is tender and delicious. The only drawback is that the skin of this fish is very thick, so it is usually necessary to remove the skin when cooking.

Somewhat similar to skinning fish.

This fish is a typical schooling fish. Generally, once found, they are in large groups.

There are two common types of bigeye snappers in my country, one is the short-tailed bigeye snapper, and the other is the long-tailed bigeye snapper. The two are easy to distinguish.

The tail of the short-tailed one is broom-shaped, while the tail of the long-tailed one is crescent-shaped, appearing longer.

The one that Ah He is holding in his hand is a long-tailed bigeye snapper. In fact, the price difference between the two is not much.

"It's a good fish." But he immediately smiled bitterly and said, "The fish are small, so you can take your time to sort them. Don't raise the net before daybreak."

"Brother, how much is this fish per pound?"

"About twenty or thirty."

Ah He's face twitched, "That's far inferior to the golden eye snapper."

There is indeed a big difference. The top-grade size of golden eye snapper can be sold for nearly a hundred yuan, while the largest size of this fish is estimated to be around thirty yuan.

"It's good to have any harvest, so hurry up and get busy."

Ah He let out a light "oh" and went back to his work.

Zhao Qin lit another cigarette. For a fisherman, staying up late was very normal, but the tea and cigarettes also contributed to it.

At around four o'clock, the old cat got up and it was his turn to rest.

He slept until noon. When he woke up, there was no sound except the engine. He went to the rear deck and saw that it was empty.

I took a look at the weather and it said there would be a little rain today, but it looked sunny and there was no sign of rain.

When he returned to the wheelhouse, Lao Mao was chatting with Lai Bao. When he saw him come in, Lai Bao greeted him and then went out.

"Are you all asleep?"

"Yiwang just finished his work and had dinner. I asked them to go and rest."

As he was talking, Lai Bao came in with a small basin, "Aqin, it's still hot, eat it quickly."

"Thank you, Brother Bao."

I was really hungry, mainly because I hadn't had breakfast. So I took over the food and started digging without any hesitation.

"While you were sleeping, I caught two nets and the harvest was pretty good."

A smile appeared on the old cat's face, and he continued, "The first net was full of golden eye snappers. I heard that the previous net was full of big eye snappers. What a coincidence. There must be more than two tons.

The specifications are also good, and it can be worth about 300,000 yuan.

The second net was for broomfish, with a larger quantity, about three tons."

Zhao Qin was slightly startled when he heard about the broom fish. He had only heard of this fish but had never seen it. It was Old Cat who told him about it earlier.

When they were fishing for the horse-faced pufferfish, also known as the horse-faced fish or the big skinned fish, Lao Mao had said that there was a skinned fish of similar size that was extremely poisonous, and it seemed to be the broomfish.

The scientific name of this fish is Mimic Leatherfish. It looks very cute, and its most important tail fin is very long, like a big broom.

"Will the fish be okay?" He remembered that Old Cat said that the poison of this thing was fifty times that of pufferfish, and it was very powerful.

"It's not that exaggerated. This thing itself is not poisonous. It's mainly because some seaweeds are poisonous. After eating, it will be deposited in the body.

When eating, clean the internal organs, especially the liver, and the fish meat is not a big problem. "

The price of this fish is actually not high, estimated to be less than 20 yuan per pound. In terms of taste alone, it is not as good as the horse-faced pufferfish, but it is less common than the horse-faced pufferfish.

"Brother Mao, I'm here for a meeting, you move around." Zhao Qin finished the last bite of rice and stood up.

The old cat hummed softly, took the food bowl beside him and went out.

……

Shen Chengding's prediction was correct. Because the people they rescued were Japanese, they were summoned by the relevant departments soon after they called the police.

Fortunately, he had a camera and recorded the whole process.

However, the relevant departments confiscated the material he recorded and asked him not to disclose it.

As for the town’s police station and maritime department, they immediately announced the presence of killer whales in the near waters and advised everyone not to go out to sea in the near future.

Relevant departments have carefully reviewed the video but are still puzzled. Strictly speaking, killer whales rarely actively attack fishing boats and humans.

What is even more puzzling to them is that those who jumped off the boat on their own initiative never surfaced afterwards, which is also strange.

Ships were arranged to salvage the area for two days, but still nothing was found. Apart from professional divers who confirmed that the two sunken ships were underneath, nothing else was found.

Eventually they had to conclude that those who fell into the water became food for the killer whales.

However, there is still no conclusion as to why killer whales would actively attack humans, so they even invited a specialist marine animal expert to investigate.

The expert did raise a possibility: "I heard that the Japanese have a bad habit of hunting whales. Maybe they threatened the killer whales first before the cameras caught them. After all, they have guns."

This statement was recognized by everyone.

Some people were even bitten to death. It must be that the five people took the initiative to attack the killer whales and angered them, which led to such a tragedy.

This matter is quite troublesome. On the one hand, the identity of the other party is that they are foreigners after all. Such a large number of casualties is not a trivial matter. Fortunately, there is video evidence. I think the embassy or consulate of their country cannot explain the situation.

On the other hand, it is about guns. Where did the other party get the guns? This is against the law in China.

But the only survivor, Gojo Shinzo, has gone completely crazy. They have observed him for a long time and asked someone to diagnose him, and it is confirmed that he is indeed crazy.

As for the situation on Tamsui Island, we can only control it for the time being and select and interrogate the people currently on the island.

But there were not many people on the island originally, and Gojo Shinzo finally took away nine of them, which was considered to be all his confidants and those who knew the truth. The remaining people knew nothing when asked and only said that they were responsible for guarding.

There is no way to deal with it, so I have to report it.

Within two days, Gojo Shinzo was taken away. As for the follow-up on Tamsui Island, there is currently no personnel to connect with him, so the matter has to be put on hold.

There is no such thing as an impenetrable wall in this world. Within two days, the whole town was buzzing with rumors.

There are all kinds of comments, some say that killer whales recognize humans, and do not attack local fishermen, but only target the Japanese.

Some say it is retribution because many fishermen have heard about the Japanese whaling.
