Chapter 24: Fisheries Development Policy

Because of this kind of shrimp, Jiang Hai also knew it, Arctic sweet shrimp, but it is said to be a very good shrimp.

There are also authentic wild deep-sea shrimps sold in China. If they are sold in China, they will have to be sold for at least a few dozen yuan per catty. You should know that the price of aquatic products in Bingcheng has always been low. Although they are not as high as coastal areas, in terms of inland areas, the seafood here is famously cheap. Generally, green shrimps are sold for more than twenty yuan per catty in Bingcheng, and they are still alive.

It is not very common to sell frozen shrimps that cost dozens of yuan per pound in the Ice City, especially the shrimps are not very large.

But here, the shrimp was used directly as bait, and Jiang Hai had nothing to say about this except calling them a prodigal.

Because Edward told him that there are some shrimps here, but generally they live on the seabed at a depth of 150 meters. However, on a cloudy day, it will rain or storm, and the seabed will be deficient in oxygen. These shrimps will float up. At that time, take a net and walk around the beach for two times, and you can easily harvest dozens of kilograms of this thing. For fishermen, these shrimps and shellfish under the seabed are just bait.

In the United States and European countries, shellfish, sea cucumbers, sea urchins, etc. are rarely eaten by people.

Even the most exquisite abalone among shellfish, if they are not particularly large or of ordinary size, they will not eat them.

For them, they don’t understand what the word “squandering resources” means.

However, the so-called "going to the local customs" is not difficult to get with Arctic sweet shrimp, so it doesn't matter if Jiang Hai treats him as fishing bait.

After all the three of them put the bait on, Robbins swung hard first. Because Edward was not fishing for boats, the rod he took out was not too long. It was a two-meter-7 rod and a roll of about one hundred meters. When Robbins threw it, he threw it almost fifty meters. This distance was even further than that of ordinary fishing enthusiasts. As Robbins tightened the line, he looked at Edward and Jiang Hai with a smile. The fishing level of one person can also be seen from the fact that he threw the line.

Seeing Robbins' gaze, Edward chuckled. He swung the rod nearly sixty meters away. With his naked eyes, it was farther away than Robbins. Seeing this, Robbins couldn't help but nodded secretly. This old guy did have a few tricks and finally arrived at Jiang Hai. Although Robbins and Edward had no expectations for Jiang Hai for the first time, they still looked at him. Jiang Hai looked at the fishing rod in front of him, held the rod in both hands, and swung it out vigorously. In an instant, the lead block flew straight towards the sea level like a meteor, and the roller under his fishing rod was also constantly putting it out quickly.

It was probably until it was more than seventy meters before the lead block fell into the sea. Seeing this scene, Edward and Robbins were stunned. They knew that the boss had a strange power, but unexpectedly, this strange power was really a little scary.

Feeling the surprised gazes of the two, Jiang Hai chuckled. Although it was his first time fishing in the sea, it did not mean that he would not be able to throw the rod. At least he was more powerful than any human being.

"The boss is really strong... But, boss, you're hiding the bottom." After taking a light breath, Edward stretched out his thumb to Jiang Hai, but after praising him, he added another sentence later.

"Have you hung up? What does it mean?" Jiang Hai was stunned for a moment when he heard what Edward said, then asked him.

"It's your fish hook or lead sinker, hanging on the reef below. If you don't believe it, you can collect the line now, see if you can pull it back?" Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Edward chuckled and said.

Hearing Edward's words, Jiang Hai tried it, and after tightening the line, he couldn't pull it anymore. He pulled it hard for a long time. As the force relaxed, when Jiang Hai pulled the fishing line back, he found that the lead sinker and hook were all gone.

"Uh, this..." Looking at the empty fishing line in front of him, Jiang Hai couldn't help but say awkwardly.

"It's okay, this is common. I still have a lot of lead pendants here. This thing is not expensive. You can buy a hundred of them with a 100 knives." Seeing Jiang Hai's awkward look, Edward said with a smile. Sea fishing, especially bottom fishing for beginners, is not that easy to learn. Things like hanging bottoms are very common.

"Cough..." Hearing Edward's words, Jiang Hai coughed dryly, walked to the bag beside him, took out the new fish hook and lead block, tied it to the fishing line, and then threw the fishing line out again. This time he exerted more force, and this time the fishing line flew directly into the sea 80 meters away. However, in less than a minute, his face changed again because he couldn't pull it anymore...

"Damn, is this thing so difficult?" With the second, third, fourth, fifth, and eleventh, Jiang Hai was about to give up. He felt that he had taken the lead sinker and threw it into the sea. He killed more fish than he caught. Cough, sorry, he has not caught any of them now.

"Ha, fishing is not that easy. Boss, you throw it far away when you throw it, but when you throw it far away, you also let it go too many lines. There are too many lines. When your hook sinks into the water, it will quickly sink to the sea. When you want to retract the line, the hook and lead sinker will float over and get stuck on the nearby stones." Looking at Jiang Hai's depressed expression, Edward chuckled. As his fishing rod bends, he quickly put the line away. Soon, a cod that was almost half a meter long was raised by him. Generally speaking, this kind of half a meter long big fish naturally needs to slip for a while. The power of the fish under the water is not ordinary strength, but Edward is not an ordinary person.

Looking at the big fish, he had no intention of being able to scatter. He directly used his arms to force the fish to lift the fish from the water surface and threw it to the shore. Looking at the old man, his arms that were almost thicker than his head, it was not difficult to see how strong the old man had. When he saw the big fish, Robbins over there couldn't help but look at him again.

"Good guy, this fish is enough for us to eat tonight." He hurriedly ran over and put the fish into the tank that had been prepared in the morning. Robbins said with a smile on his face.

After sea fishes are out of the water, few fish can live for too long, so it is difficult to see fresh sea fish in the inland.

The same is true for cod. Basically, in the inland of the United States, the cod I see is also frozen cod with a cut head.

As for the difference between cod and domestic cod, the main reason is that the cod in China is much smaller. The price of such a large cod is about 30 US dollars. It is not worth the money, but it is a product that does not have to worry about sales.

"Let's have fun with fishing. If you catch a small one, use it as bait. If you catch a big one, you can release it. I want to see how many kinds of fish there are now and what are the resources on the water." Edward also chuckled and said with a chuckling when he heard Robbins' words.

He came here to fish, and fished for dinner today, mainly to see how the fish resources are here.

"The fish resources under the water are still very rich. I know that there are about dozens of sea fish, and there are also a coral reef, a lot of big fish and small fish, as well as a lot of crabs and lobsters." While tied with a lead sinker, Jiang Hai said to the two people in front of him.

"Oh? Are the fishery resources here so rich?" Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Edward here couldn't help but be stunned for a moment and said excitedly, while Robbins's face was a little surprised, because he didn't know what was under the sea.

"Oh, before I came, I had hired some frogmen to come here to inspect." Seeing the surprised expression on Robbins's face, Jiang Hai couldn't help but curse himself in his heart, but there would be more magical things he would show in the future.

He didn't want to be worried every time. Learning how to explain is also a compulsory course for him.

"That's right, that's great." Seeing Jiang Hai's words, Edward couldn't wait to throw the hook into the sea again. He also wanted to see if he could catch a bigger fish.

As for Jiang Hai, he had tied his fourteenth lead sinker and fish hook at this time and threw it into the sea.

"Uncle Edward, you said that the fishery resources here are so developed. Although I am not planning to breed for the time being, can it be done if I only fish? " Looking at Edward next to him, Jiang Hai asked him.

"I don't know the specific amount, but if you say that the fishing resources here are probably worth a lot. If you buy an offshore fish boat, it is completely feasible to catch them nearby." Hearing what Jiang Hai said, Edward here nodded excitedly. If this is the case, then this place is really a treasure land.

"Because this is our own fishing ground, and it has not been breeded yet, the number and time of fishing should not be too frequent. It is almost the same when fishing once a month. Usually, I just need to go and patrol the boat. On the day of fishing, call the boy Felimmon, and the boss is almost enough, so there is no need to hire people anymore." Because there is no plan to breed at present, first, no need to put fish fry, second, no need to put bait, which is very convenient.

After talking to Edward for a while, Jiang Hai probably determined what he needed for the aquatic products here at present.

Even if a near-shore net-holding fish boat is brand new, it only costs about 600,000 US dollars. This is already a considerable existence. These things cost not only the boat, but the oil, because it is very good to burn oil.

In addition, there are also several open first boats and other things to patrol. This thing is much cheaper. The best one is about 100,000 yuan. The money for buying a ship, a net, and a reserve oil will be less than one million yuan. Jiang Hai can bear it.

Thinking of this, Jiang Hai couldn't help but nodded secretly. He was really lucky to get Edward this time.
