A Day In a Japanese Fishing Village

  37 large and small fishing boats, the largest one thousand tons, the smallest one hundred tons. As the fishing fleet continued to expand, he had hundreds of sailors and various crews.

   mainly includes sailors, captains and mates, maintenance personnel and so on. Fortunately, Shuichi Minano recruited a new batch of sailors a month ago. At present, the expansion has been basically completed.

   Now he has divided the fleet into three teams, two of which remain unchanged as before. The third fleet consists of 20 fishing boats of 1,000 tons. This time, he also intends to lead the third fleet in person!

   He can imagine how fierce it would be for him to lead these 20 large 1,000-ton trawlers out to sea. Each of them is a Big Mac, and the scope of his search for fish has been increased to 300 nautical miles. I believe that when the fish is caught, it will definitely be in a state of barren.

   After a week of preparations, the three fishing fleets finally set sail from the Nemuro fishing port. Kimura old man led the first fishing fleet, Ishida Yu led the second fleet.

   The third fleet was led by Shuichi Nanno, and this time the ocean fishing lasted for two months! He specially hired three large transport ships to serve and transport his third fishing fleet. As for the other two fishing teams, there is no need.

   But this time, Iloti didn't keep up with the trip, and only brought Ami Inoue, Yukina Sakai and the twin sisters Aoko Masako.

  Three fishing teams drove out of Nemuro fishing port back and forth, attracting the attention of many people.

   "Three fishing fleets, a total of 37 fishing boats. Nanye-kun is really amazing!"

   "It is estimated that you can earn tens of millions of yen for a single fishing trip?"

   "Impossible, it's possible to sell that much without the cost price. But 37 fishing boats cost a lot. It's not bad to earn tens of millions of yen excluding various costs..."

   "Ten million is not a lot. It's been two years for a small fishing fleet like ours."

"I'm jealous…"

  A 1000-ton trawler, Shuichi Minano, stood on the top of the boat and silently turned on the system. Almost instantly, he could clearly feel those schools of fish appearing within a radius of 300 nautical miles!

   "I used the new ability for the first time, and it felt very good." He felt that the system seemed to be optimized. The system can intelligently block some schools of fish that he doesn't want to know and only keep some schools of fish that he wants to catch. This kind of intelligent screening can only be screened by the system based on the information fed back by his brain. In this way, he will not be bombarded with the information constantly prompted by the system as before.

  Otherwise, there are so many schools of fish in a radius of 300 nautical miles, and the constant refresh prompts can knock him out of the bombing.

  It is worth mentioning that there are almost no large schools of fish in the offshore Hokkaido, or fish schools with low economic value. The fishing grounds near Hokkaido have been fished for hundreds of years by the island nation and have formed a relatively scarce state. If you want to have a big harvest, you must go to the island sea or the waters near the Kuril Islands to fish is the right choice.

   In the past, when the fishing fleet of Minamino Shuichi only had a dozen fishing boats, he felt that he did not make a lot of money. One trip to the sea can earn millions of yen. Unless you're catching a lot of tuna, you're going to make a lot of money. At that time, he suspected that he didn't even need to do ocean fishing. Just keep salvaging shipwreck treasures. After all, I don't know how much money I made to salvage a sunken treasure once.

   But now he finally realizes how profitable deep-sea fishing is. He used to have only a dozen fishing teams, but now he has 37 fishing boats. When the fishing boat has formed a certain scale, the harvest of a fishing trip is definitely very objective!

   He didn't realize it until his current 20 1000-ton trawlers arrived!

These large trawlers with a tonnage of 1,000 tons have a total length of 47 meters, a width of 8.5 meters, and a depth of 7.22 meters. When they are fishing, they will drop a huge fishing net with a circumference of 600 meters. Two giant steel supports weighing 1.2 tons Open the fishing net to form an oval net opening with a width of 50 meters and a height of 25 meters, and trawling on the seabed! The water depth is 500 meters. Fishing operations can reach a depth of 500 meters, which is basically enough. Few schools of fish live below 500 meters. Those are all very rare fish.

   The fishing net needs to be set off by 4 to 8 people at the same time. After the net is set off, it is operated by machinery. This large fishing boat has strong wind resistance, and can fish even in 10-level strong winds at sea!

   It is very easy to catch dozens of tons a day as long as the fish is found to form a fishing ground. That's the horror of the big trawler. You can imagine 20 fish harvesters constantly lowering their trawls and dragging them back and forth. As long as the fish schools are dense, it is estimated that the fishery formed by the fish schools can be caught completely in just one hour.

   Once the schools of fish on the ocean are densely packed, it is very spectacular and terrifying. When the fish swarms together, they will form a fishing ground, and that is how the fishing ground is obtained. Why is it called Hokkaido fishery, it does not refer to the fishery for farming. In fact, it means that the waters of Hokkaido are densely populated with fish and naturally form fishing grounds.

  It has now entered the time of 1954, and the prices of cheap fish such as sardines, herring, saury, squid, mackerel, etc. are slowly increasing. Now he has so many fishing boats and he starts to catch these fish constantly. No matter what type, big or small kills!

   With the size of his current fleet, he no longer needs to go to specialize in fishing for high-economic fish. Now is the stage of winning by quantity.

   This time, Minano Shuichi's destination was to fish in the northern waters of the Island Sea.

   After several days of sailing, the fishing team he led finally came to the northern part of the island country sea.

   After he came here, he found that the school of fish was very dense.

"At the current size of my fleet, I no longer need to go fishing when I see a school of fish. I need to find the sea area where the fishery is formed, and then go to the fishing operation." For example, a school of fish is found here, and there is another A school of fish rushing on both sides to catch fish like this is not worth the gain. This time it wasn't like the previous few fishing boats were operating. This time, 20 fishing boats acted together.

   He needs to find more than a dozen groups of fish, and even fish in the waters where dozens of groups of fish appear. Because of the dozen or so groups of fish that gather together, it is called a fishing ground!

   The same is true of the large-scale fishing teams of later generations, which are dedicated to finding places to form fishing grounds for fishing operations. In this way, if you find a place where such a fishery is formed, you will catch a lot of fish.

   But it is not easy to find such a place where a fishing ground is formed. If Minano Shuichi doesn't have the ability to find the system to help you find it, you need experience!

   The sea area that forms the fishing ground is sometimes random, and needs to be combined with various factors such as weather, currents, regions, seasons, and so on. There are even places where plankton is rich in places that form large fish farms!

   Some shallow seas will also form large fishing grounds. Of course, the shallow seas are estimated to be formed by the kind of pelagic fish. The above knowledge Minano Shuichi also understands a little. But after all, he is not a senior fish hunter! He has relied on the help of the system all these years.
