Rebirth of Fishing Village: Starting from Hua Axiang in Jiehu Village

Chapter 1005 Keep the fish alive!

"Zhao Dahai!"

"You have to take a look at the fish in the live tank."

Zhao Shi reminded Zhao Dahai and pointed to the live water tank.

Zhao Dahai drank the water in big gulps, wiped the corner of his mouth, and began to check the two large live water tanks of the speedboat. They were filled with large and small groupers. At a glance, they were all fish heads or fish tails.

Zhao Dahai reached down and scooped a few times, then frowned. The live water tank was not full, and all the fish looked a little lazy, not vigorous at all.

"What's going on? Is it possible that there are too many fish in the live water tank?"

……

"There are indeed a lot of fish, but it's not full yet."

……

"What's going on? There doesn't seem to be something right with these fish."

"This must be due to lack of oxygen."

"But isn't the oxygenator in our live water tank always on? And there are holes at the bottom, so it's real live water. There's no reason for it to be lacking in oxygen, right?"

……

Liu Bin, Lei Dayou, Zhong Shizhu and others gathered around at once. They had to keep the fish alive to sell them at a better price. Now, Zhao Dahai looked at the fish. Normally, the fish should have been struggling violently, hitting the water with their tails, and flying high. But now, most of the fish seemed to have no strength.

Zhao Dahai looked carefully for a while, and after pondering for a long time, he finally understood what was going on. There were indeed quite a few groupers in the seawater tank, and these groupers were all relatively large, but it was far from full. His speedboat was very large, and the seawater tank had been specially modified, so there was not much pressure to hold so many fish. The main problem was that he had been fishing for groupers here for the past few hours, but was just turning around within a range of 20 meters. The speed of the speedboat was very slow, and very little seawater entered the live water tank. In short, the speed of seawater circulation was very slow. Even if the oxygenator was turned on, it was still not enough for the fish in the live water tank.

Zhao Dahai found the problem, so he drove the speedboat a little faster, and stopped after ten minutes to take a look at the live water tank. All the groupers looked much more energetic.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou had been staring at the grouper in the live water tank. Seeing this, they felt relieved. If something went wrong with these fish and they couldn't keep them alive, the loss would be huge. Not to mention all the fish, even if something went wrong with one or two grouper weighing 100 to 180 kilograms, that would mean the loss of tens of thousands of dollars, and that was still the least.

"Are we going fishing next?"

Zhong Shizhu looked at the sky and saw that the sun would rise in a short while. It was really not too late at this time. He could continue to catch a lot of fish at this time. However, the grouper in the seawater tank was in such a condition that he was really a little worried.

"How can we stop fishing? We must continue fishing for another hour to three hours. If another speedboat appears at this fishing spot, we can go back."

Zhao Dahai thought about it and decided to continue fishing.

"what?"

"Zhao Dahai."

"Are you sure there won't be any problems with these groupers?"

Zhao Shi was stunned for a moment. He had thought that Zhao Dahai was going to go back. If he went back, the speedboat would be traveling at high speed, and seawater, especially fresh seawater, would continue to flow into the live water tank, which would be more useful than any oxygen. What he didn't expect was that Zhao Dahai decided to continue fishing here.

"Ok!"

"Isn't it hard to catch fish in the sea recently? The price of fish is relatively high. Another thing is that today is a rare day when fish in the sea are relatively easy to catch. There are still some places where we haven't fished before at this point. I always feel that there are still fish to be caught there. In addition, other speedboats know this place. If we don't fish, wouldn't it be a bargain for others?"

Zhao Dahai knew what Zhao Shi and even Zhong Shizhu were worried about, but now was a really good opportunity to catch a lot of fish and he couldn't let it go.

Zhao Shi didn't say anything else. He thought in his heart that he didn't know whether he could catch those groupers in the sea, but those in the live water tank had already been caught and they were safe profits. It was the right choice to take care of these groupers. Although he was the elder, Zhao Dahai was the captain of the speedboat. He only needed to remind him about such matters. It was Zhao Dahai's business to make the decision.

Zhao Dahai was driving the speedboat, looking at the coordinates marked on the fish finder, and drove northeast for about ten minutes before stopping. He looked at the coordinates on the fish finder again to make sure that he was in the right place, and immediately called out to Zhong Shizhu Liu Bin and Lei Dayong to start fishing right away and make the most of the time to fish for another two to three hours.

"Yo!"

"Old man Zhao!"

"Zhao Dahai's brain is really quick. How did he come up with such a solution? It seems that there will be no problem with the groupers in the live water tank."

Shi Guanglin and Zhao Shi were sitting on the lid of the big refrigerator in the middle of the speedboat, smoking. His thoughts were exactly the same as Zhao Shi's. He felt that they had already caught a lot of groupers, so there was no need to continue fishing. They had to hurry back to the early education foam area. These groupers had to be transferred to Ding Dawen's inner sea boat as quickly as possible. If one or two of them died, and they were big, it would be a big loss. But Zhao Dahai was driving the speedboat very fast just now. It was obvious that he wanted to try this method to fill as much fresh seawater as possible into the live water tank. More importantly, Zhao Dahai was not fishing at a fixed point now, but fishing with a cover stream. The speedboat kept moving forward, and the speed was not as slow as before when fishing for red groupers. In this way, more fresh seawater was constantly poured into the live water tank.

There are quite a lot of fish in the live water tank at this moment, but it really doesn't have much impact. At least one thing is certain, these fish in the live water tank will not continue to suffer from oxygen deficiency.

"Not bad!"

“This is indeed a good idea!”

"Now the sea is slowly beginning to have tides and currents!"

"This fish shouldn't be a big problem!"

Zhao Shi glanced at the live water tank from time to time. It seemed that the groupers inside were slowly recovering.

nine in the morning.

The sun rises higher and higher.

Zhao Dahai pushed the switch of the electric reel hard. A fish was hooked. It was not too big, but weighing fifty or sixty kilograms, and it couldn't escape. After fishing for a whole night, he was very energetic and had changed the rod an hour ago.

"Yo!"

"Isn't this the speedboat from yesterday? Why did it arrive here only at this time? What's going on?"

Liu Bin heard the sound of the speedboat engine and looked forward. In the distance, he saw a small black dot coming towards him. After waiting for a while, the speedboat was already very close. He knew at a glance that it was the speedboat that caught a lot of grouper here yesterday.

Liu Bin was very surprised. This speedboat caught a lot of groupers here yesterday. It should have come here early in the morning. It only appeared now, which was really a bit late.

"What's so strange about this? I guess the speedboat either had a long way to go, or it went somewhere else to fish, like black porgy or big yellow chicken, and only came here at this time!"

Liu Bin thought about it and felt that this was not surprising. Most speedboats that go fishing offshore will first catch some other fish before catching grouper. In any case, although grouper is valuable, it is not easy to catch. You may not be able to catch many in a day, but you can catch some black porgy or yellow bream.

Any kind of fish that can be caught can be sold for money, which can at least help to subsidize the gas money.

"Correct!"

"It is indeed possible. Many speedboats that go offshore fishing do this. I did the same when I first started. Even now, before we go fishing on artificial islands and reefs, we often check the foam area of ​​the islands and reefs to see if there are any sea bass. It's almost the same idea."

The more you fish in the sea, the clearer it is that you know what is going on.

This speedboat not far away caught a lot of groupers here yesterday and made a lot of money. It might be lazy and came here at this time.

Fishermen or people fishing, as long as they catch a fish, they have to fight for their lives the next day.

The only possibility is that the speedboat had gone somewhere else to fish for other fish on the way here.

Zhao Dahai took a look and saw that what was pulled out of the water was a grouper weighing about 50 kilograms. After thinking about it, he called Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou to reel in their fishing rods.

"what?"

"We should go back now. We can fish for a few more hours until the afternoon and then go back. Anyway, we won't be going out to sea tomorrow!"

"Fishing later today!"

“There are indeed not many fish now, but they can still be caught!”

Lei Dayou didn't expect that Zhao Dahai decided not to go fishing and return.

We have been fishing without a rest since last night and are very tired, but Liu Binlei and I are sure we can hold on.

I won’t go fishing tomorrow. I’ll just go back and have a good sleep.

The bite of grouper in the sea now is indeed incomparable to that of last night and early this morning, but the grouper are very big. Not to mention catching a lot, even if several people fish until three or four o'clock in the afternoon, it is pretty good and worth the time to catch one or two.

"Correct!"

"Then you can still catch some fish, right? There's no need to go back so early!"

Zhong Shizhu wiped the sweat from his forehead. Once the sun rises, the temperature on the sea surface will rise rapidly.

Zhao Dahai shook his head and tried the live water tank.

In the past few hours, Liu Bin, Lei Dayou, Zhong Shizhu and I have caught more than ten groupers of different sizes. The space inside the live water tank has become smaller and the fish are more crowded.

What’s more important is that the sun has risen now and the temperature is indeed a bit high. It’s not just the people on the speedboat who feel a bit hot, the temperature of the water on the entire sea surface is rising.

If you continue fishing, especially until three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the temperature of the top layer of water on the entire sea surface will be very high.

The temperature of the seawater in the live water tank rose accordingly, and it was really a bit difficult to catch so many fish.

"Uncle Shizhu!"

"I know that I can still catch fish at this time. If I fish until the afternoon, I might be able to catch a dozen fish."

"If we really catch so many fish, there will be too many fish in the live water tank."

Zhao Dahai did not agree to continue fishing.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou kept nodding their heads. They were only thinking about being able to catch fish and catching more fish, and did not think about these things.

If there weren't so many fish in the live water tank, this problem wouldn't exist, but the number of large groupers caught since dark yesterday is quite a bit.

It’s not that there is no room, but I’m really worried about lack of oxygen.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou put away their fishing rods and immediately started packing up their things. They had to put everything away properly as they would have to go back very quickly. If they didn't pack up their things properly, one, there was a possibility that they would fall into the sea, and two, the people on the speedboat would be in danger.

Zhao Dahai opened the refrigerator, took out a bag of ice, filled half of a water tank with ice, poured it all in, and stirred it with his hand.

The water temperature is relatively high, and the fish in the live water tank will feel very uncomfortable and may even die. Not only do you need to add ice now, but you also need to continue adding ice if you find that the water temperature in the live water tank is relatively high on the way back.

Zhao Dahai waited for a while and saw that the ice had melted a lot. He tried it and found that the sea water temperature had dropped suddenly and was even a little cold. The fish in the live water tank suddenly became lively.

Zhao Dahai told Zhong Shizhu to wait a moment on the way back and check the live water tank from time to time. As long as all the ice inside was melted, he would have to add another piece of ice into it.

Zhong Shizhu nodded.

"Second Grandpa Shi! We originally went out to sea to see if we could find the Great Ocean Trench, but now we are just busy fishing."

Zhao Dahai wiped his hands with a towel and looked around. Almost everything on the speedboat had been packed and they would be able to go back in a while.

This time, Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming were called along because they wanted to find the legendary trench here at the artificial island reef. However, they didn't find it and ended up fishing all night.

"what!"

"Isn't it the same reason to look for a big trench to fish? Now that there are fish to catch even though it hasn't grown, we must go fishing!"

Shi Guangming looked at the large and small groupers in the two large live water tanks. Zhao Dahai really made a lot of money this time by bringing Zhong Shizhu and others.

Zhao Dahai smiled and nodded. The purpose of going out to sea is to fish. When there are fish to catch, you have to fish immediately. Even though it is the same place, if you go at a different time, you may not be able to catch any fish.

Zhao Dahai saw that all the things had been packed up and placed in place, then drove the speedboat back to the island reef foam area.
