My Deep-sea Fishery

Chapter 197: Hairtail Fish

Fang Youqun was also very surprised. Although he had "predicted" that what Xiang Yang said was accurate, he had never figured out how the moray eel would defeat the stingray.

Now seeing a large group of moray eels besieging and beating the stingray helplessly, this was something Fang Youqun never expected before.

"Cast the net to catch eels." Xiang Yang said regardless of everyone's surprise.

Although the moray eel is included in the "IUCN Red List of Threatened Species", it is still the first of the fifteen economic fish species in the South China Sea. my country's protection of moray eels is limited to the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea, and it is not forbidden Salvage is only a fishing moratorium system, which stipulates that moray eels are not allowed to be caught during certain periods of time.

"Come on."

Zhou Wang received Xiang Yang's order to cast the net immediately. In fact, he had already wanted to cast the net when he saw so many moray eels here.

Every fisherman knows that conger eel meat is tender and delicious with high fat content.

Domestic canned eel is the top delicacy that sells well in domestic and foreign markets.

It is also worth mentioning that conger eel swim bladder, brain, ovary, blood, and eggs can all be used as medicine, and have significant curative effects on various diseases such as stomach problems and rheumatism.

"Try harder and throw the net as far as possible." Zhou Wang directed Chen Qingsheng and others to cast the net. Since the fishing boat was stopped this time, the net was cast not by winch but by manpower.

Chen Qingsheng is not a novice who has never cast a net before. I saw that he skillfully threw the net for a long distance, and then the fishing net automatically dispersed in the air under the action of gravity.

"Okay, the net is here." Chen Qingsheng's face showed joy after casting the net for a while.

Zhou Wang looked at the stretched net rope in Chen Qingsheng's hand and hurried over to help. There are not only some moray eels, but also a stingray. Instead, people will be dragged down by fish.

Xiang Yang looked at the bulging tendons under the two of their clothes and smiled helplessly. In fact, Zhou Wang was superfluous. When the fishing net was cast down, he immediately alarmed the stingrays and moray eels in the sea. They were still there a moment ago. Fighting life and death, they all dived towards the bottom of the water in the next moment, and a huge fishing net pitifully caught three unlucky moray eels.

"Old Zhou, you can let go now, I seem to be offline." Sure enough, Chen Qingsheng said with a rather ugly expression the next moment.

"Bosun, the net hasn't been dragged up yet, how do you know it's off the net?" Fang Youqun asked.

Zhou Wang let go of the rope, cast a blank look at Fang Youqun and said, "If he doesn't even know this, then he's not worthy to be your bosun."

"Sorry, Captain, these moray eels are too cunning, I didn't catch them." Chen Qingsheng explained to Xiang Yang while drawing the net: "Both sting rays and moray eels can dive to the deep seabed. This time we cast the net from the sky, and the fish all ran away when they saw something was wrong, and maybe none of them were caught.”

Xiang Yang smiled and said: "It's okay, anyway, it's just a few moray eels, not worth a lot of money, if we get it online, we'll save it for ourselves to eat tomorrow, if we don't get it online, forget it."

"Huh?" Chen Qingsheng, who was pulling the net, suddenly had eyes lit up, "I don't seem to be off the net, there seems to be moray eels in the net."

"Bosun, how do you know this?" Fang Youqun wondered.

Chen Qingsheng was in a great mood. He explained: "The net rope in my hand suddenly became a little heavier just now. It is clear that there are fish struggling in the fishing net. What do you mean if you say that this is not a moray eel?"

Zhou Wang patted Fang Youqun on the shoulder, "Go and help."

Fang Youqun immediately ran behind Chen Qingsheng.

"No, it's just an unlucky moray eel. I can drag the net up by myself."

Chen Qingsheng's biceps bulged into pieces, and he quickly dragged the fishing net out of the water.

At this time, Chen Qingsheng's trawling action was obviously a little difficult.

Xiang Yang smiled and said, "Fang Youqun, help the bosun. There should be more than one moray eel in this fishing net. It will be a bit difficult for him to pull it up."

This time Chen Qingsheng didn't refuse again, he smiled embarrassingly, "It seems that my skills have not deteriorated when I cast a net, and there must be more than one moray eel in this net."

The fishing net was slowly lifted by Chen Qingsheng and Fang Youqun, and the three moray eels finally showed their true colors.

"One, two, three, four." Fang Youqun grinned happily, "Four, bosun, you caught four moray eels."

"No, it's three." Xiang Yang said.

"Three? I clearly counted four. Hey, what kind of fish is this? It looks like a moray eel."

It turned out that besides three moray eels struggling desperately, there was also a shivering strange fish in that fishing net.

The fish is very big, even bigger than the three moray eels, not only big, but also very long. At first glance, it looks like a belt. The fish looks like a ribbon without bones. Curled up in a fishing net.

"This is a hairtail." Xiang Yang said with a smile: "And it is the most ferocious hairtail among the hairtails. It should have seen the fight between the moray eel and the stingray, and was attracted by the smell of blood to pick up cheap ones."

"Who knows that if we didn't find the cheap one, it would be cheap for us." He Mingde said with a smile: "Old Chen, be careful later, don't be bitten by this fish."

"I know, not only this guy, but the other three conger eels are also not vegetarian." Chen Qingsheng laughed.

Hairtails are flat like belts, silver-gray in color, light gray in dorsal and pectoral fins, with very small spots, black in the tail, with a large tip on the head and tapering to the tail, with a total length of about 1 meter. It has a ferocious temperament and mainly feeds on hairy shrimp and squid. It is mainly distributed in the western Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, and it is distributed in the Yellow Sea, East China Sea, Bohai Sea and the South China Sea in my country.

"Is hairtail fish worth money?" Fang Youqun asked.

"It is one of the four major seafood in our country, do you think it is worth money?" Xiang Yang asked rhetorically.

In fact, hairtail is really not very valuable. It is better in the southern coast, where the economy is developed, and wild hairtail can generally be sold for tens of dollars a catty.

If you go to the East China Sea, which is rich in hairtail, you can sell it for 20 yuan a catty, which is considered a very high price. It is not its worth but its quantity that makes it one of the four seafood in my country. It is one of the most important economic fish species in our country.

"Fang Youqun, step back a little bit, let Lao Chen handle this octopus." Xiang Yang called Fang Youqun who was eager to try.

In terms of ferocity, hairtails are even worse than moray eels, and they even have obvious cannibalism.
