Chapter 173 A surprise from Antarctic krill

Arriving at the exclusive fishing area for toothfish, Qin Feng encountered two large fishing boats from other countries on the road.

But no one communicated, and he himself came to a water area with no boats around.

Although the wind and waves here are also very strong, there is no bad weather today, so there is no danger for people standing on the deck.

Qin Feng carried out the long rope. The white rope with the thickness of a thumb is the main line, which is 1000 meters long, and the material of the sub-lines is the same as that of weaving fishing nets. Fishhooks have been tied on it, and the length is 2000 meters.

The two men tidied up the longlines, moved two boxes of saury and placed them on the back deck, while Li Xinyue came to the cab and drove the Future at an extremely slow speed, perpendicular to the direction of the ocean current.

Qin Feng quickly hung the saury on the stern, slowly put the longline into the sea, and at the same time did not forget to hang the buoy to prevent the rope from sinking.

It is now two o'clock in the afternoon, and they will collect it once at ten o'clock in the evening, and then continue to put it down, and wait until the next morning to collect it, basically two to three times a day.

After setting out the longline, they did not leave, but took out the electric twisting rod and installed it, and caught fish nearby.

Li Xinyue was in charge of the operation of the electric twisting rod, and Qin Feng took out two tuna fishing rods and attribute fishing rods.

He not only needs to attract nearby fish schools with attribute fishing rods, but also fills up the capacity of the fish tank.

Because he didn't know how long it would take to catch a toothfish, he felt that the task this time was very heavy.

When the lines of the two tuna fishing rods sank to 700 meters, he adjusted the unloading force to keep them at this water depth. The main reason was that the fishing lines were a little short, only 1000 meters.

When the capacity of the seventeen rods in the giant fish tank is full, he will not use this fishing rod again, it is too troublesome.

However, the fishing line of the attribute fishing rod sank to 2000 meters before he adjusted the unloading force to the maximum.The drum of this fishing rod has also changed a little, it is the same as the electric twisting rod, except that the handle next to it is bigger.

It can automatically take up the line, so it doesn't matter how deep the fishhook sinks.

The Future was ups and downs on the sea, but Qin Feng and Li Xinyue stood steadily. If it were Zhang Wenhao and the others, they would probably have been dizzy and unsteady.

After a full 10 minutes, there was no movement from the fishing rod on the boat. This was the first time Qin Feng had fished so slowly since he went out to sea, which made him a little worried. Is there no toothfish in this water area?

That's not right, just now Li Xinyue watched the sonar and said that there are a lot of fish resources here, and there are not many big fish in the deep sea.

The sonar on his boat can detect the seabed at a depth of 5000 meters. It is very convenient to find fish schools. They stopped here because they saw that there were fish. At present, the fish are not hooked, and they don't know what happened.

Simply, Qin Feng took advantage of this time to put the crab pots down and catch some Antarctic krill.

The crab pots only sank to a position of 20 meters and then stopped. The main Antarctic krill lives in the upper water layer, and the crab pots sank too deep so they could not be caught.

At this moment, an image appeared in his mind, a shrimp ran into the crab pot, and the speed was really fast enough.

Moreover, there are densely packed Antarctic krills all around, and it is estimated that you can catch a lot of them with your hands.

It is estimated that in a few minutes, his two crab pots can be put away.

But at this moment, he saw many giant fish preying on Antarctic krill, including many toothfish.

Qin Feng suddenly realized, no wonder the fishing rod didn't move, it turned out that the fish were all attracted by this group of Antarctic krill that came suddenly!
The crustacean tanks are also empty at this time, so he will collect [-] catties of Antarctic krill.

But in the next moment, his eyes widened.

【Antarctic Krill】

[Weight: 30 catties]

[Time required for growth: 1 minute]

"Hiss~" It turns out that the place where the experience is really gained is here!
Qin Feng was overjoyed, the surprise came so suddenly.

One minute passed quickly, and he quickly replaced the Antarctic krill in the next crab cage.

A few minutes later, Qin Feng knew that the limit capacity of a crab cage was only one hundred catties, so he immediately pulled the crab cage up with a winch.

"What's wrong?" Li Xinyue would definitely be puzzled when the crab cage was pulled up as soon as it was put down.

"Look carefully at the surface of the water, what's there!" Qin Feng pouted and said.

Hearing this, Li Xinyue stared carefully at the water surface, only to find a large number of Antarctic krill swimming, and immediately understood the reason why he collected the crab pots.

It is said that there are a lot of Antarctic krill, so she came to Qin Feng curiously to see how many Antarctic krill can be found in just a few minutes.

It's just that when a crab pot full of Antarctic krill was pulled up, she was immediately dumbfounded, and couldn't help murmuring: "This is too exaggerated!"

In five to six minutes, both crab cages were full, and they were so full that they couldn't fit.

Qin Feng was also quite emotional. Even if he didn't use an aquarium to grow them, a crab cage could still catch 6 to [-] kilograms in five to six minutes. The density of Antarctic krill is indeed exaggerated.

It is said that the highest density can reach [-] to [-] per cubic meter. No wonder it can support so many aquatic organisms in Antarctica.

"Yueyue, since we haven't caught any fish and there are so many shrimps, let's catch this Antarctic krill for now!"

"Okay!" Li Xinyue nodded, took all the fishing lines back, and then ran to the tool room to take out the mold.

It is a cuboid plastic box. Put Antarctic krill on it, level it, and then take it to the quick-freezing machine for quick freezing. A shrimp plate is made, which is very simple.

Next, the two made shrimp boards together. Qin Feng put crab cages to collect crab cages from time to time, and did not forget to cultivate them.

It was not until eight o'clock in the evening that Qin Feng's crab pots were no longer released to catch Antarctic krill.Because the longline can be rewound in two hours, and the Antarctic krill on the deck will be piled up, there is really no place to put it.

They started to catch Antarctic krill around [-] o'clock in the afternoon, and each time they collected about [-] catties, ten times an hour, that is, one ton per hour.

It will be eight o'clock, and the arrest took a total of five hours, which is five tons.

Because they have been grown in aquariums, almost all Antarctic krill have grown to more than four centimeters, and they are all adult shrimp, so the price can be slightly higher.

According to the purchase price in Antarctica, the price of this kind of larger Antarctic krill is 8 yuan per catty, so they made a total of 8 yuan in five hours?
After finishing the calculation, Qin Feng frowned immediately. It was really few, but the unit price was too low. He had no idea of ​​bringing Antarctic krill back.

Busy until twelve o'clock at night, Qin Feng and Li Xinyue finally made all the Antarctic krill into shrimp boards.

Seeing that Li Xinyue was gone, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.She took off her gloves and slapped her waist: "I'm so tired, and I'm so hungry!"

Can I be hungry, I didn't eat at night, and I was busy until twelve o'clock at night.

Qin Feng also felt sorry for his wife, and asked her to rest several times during the period, but she did not agree.This will be over, he immediately came to the kitchen to make supper.

I didn't make anything complicated, just cooked a bowl of noodles.

After eating, he asked Li Xinyue to take a bath and rest, while he himself pulled the long rope up with a winch.

However, Li Xinyue didn't go to take a bath, but continued to follow behind him, preparing to help later.

Qin Feng originally wanted to persuade her, but seeing her acting like she would not listen no matter what you said, he had no choice but to let her go.

The longline he bought had a total of [-] sub-threads, and only [-] hooks, with a sub-thread every ten meters.

Because the sub-threads are very long, they have to be pulled one by one.

The first one didn't, and the second one didn't. The third one successfully caught a toothfish, which was about [-] to [-] centimeters long and weighed only [-] to [-] catties.

Qin Feng let the winch continue to collect the fourth sub-thread, then picked up the fish killing knife and quickly cut off the fish head, removed the internal organs, chopped off the fish tail, rinsed it with water, and handed it to Li Xinyue.

After taking over, she immediately took the fish to the quick-freezing machine, put the fish in for quick-freezing, and then put it into the refrigerated compartment after freezing.

After one fish was finished, the second fish on Qin Feng's side was also killed.

With the cooperation of the two, the efficiency was very fast. Today's work was not finished until three o'clock in the morning, and the long rope was put down again.

The efficiency of longline fishing is really good. With 68 sub-lines, a total of 460 toothfish were caught. After cutting the head and tail, the weight reached 200 three kilograms, which is more than 36 kilograms per ton, with an average of [-] kilograms per fish. .

The first one he caught was the smallest one, and almost all the ones behind it weighed more than 70 kilograms, and the biggest one reached more than [-] kilograms.

According to the current speed, we only collect twice a day. If there are [-] tons per day, the quota can be fully caught in twelve days, and the remaining time can be used to catch Antarctic krill.

If he didn't know the growth rate of Antarctic krill, he might not be serious about it, but he definitely couldn't let it go if he knew.

Whether the crustacean tank can be upgraded to level ten depends on this Antarctic krill.

It was very late now, and the two of them were tired and sleepy, so they simply saved time and took a shower together, and then went back to the bedroom to sleep.

The next day, at ten o'clock in the morning, Qin Feng was woken up by the alarm clock and found that Li Xinyue was tightly wrapped around him like an octopus.

But he's used to it, as long as he wakes up earlier than her in the morning, it's almost always the case.

Carefully taking off her hands and feet, Qin Feng got up and washed up, then went to the kitchen to cook.

It was almost noon now, so he prepared for noon directly, and specially cooked a large pot of rice.

The dishes are not very well prepared, just a beef stew with potatoes, but the amount is large and full.

Under such high-intensity work, if you don't eat more meat, you won't have the energy to work at all.

This is also the reason why people who do hard work especially love to eat meat, mainly to fight hunger.
