Chapter 44: Yellowfin Tuna

Xiao Peng observed it, good fellow, this is a school of bonito. At least tens of thousands of bonito swim together. Of course, this is a small school of bonito, and the schools of bonito in the Pacific are usually accompanied by hundreds of thousands of fish.
Take a closer look, this turned out to be a school of mixed fish. Although the fish inside look the same, the physique varies greatly, ranging from large to small.
After Xiao Peng took a closer look, he almost jumped off the sofa happily.
This is a tuna school composed of yellowfin tuna, bigeye tuna and bonito!
Tuna, a hundred years ago, was a low-grade fish that no one cared about, but now it is definitely synonymous with high-end fish.
Tuna is a general term. In fact, there are many kinds of tuna, and the price difference is also very large.
For example, bonito is also a tuna, but because of its average meat taste and high production, the price is not very expensive. It is often seen in the market. The locals call it oil mackerel, and the market price is like ten yuan a catty.
Generally speaking, most countries in the world choose to canned bonito. Japanese people prefer bonito. The bonito stock often used in Japanese cuisine is made from dried bonito. Or it can be made into half-baked sashimi, which is also very popular.
Xiao Peng was not very happy to see the bonito, even in the Yellow Sea, this fish is very common.
Xiao Peng was pleased that there were yellowfin tuna and bigeye tuna in the school!
These two kinds of fish are rare in the Yellow Sea. Especially bigeye tuna, this kind of fish is often seen in tropical and subtropical waters. It is rare to appear in temperate waters.
The yellowfin tuna is the most productive species of tuna except bonito.
Of course, although yellowfin tuna has a high production volume, these have nothing to do with the Yellow Sea. There are very few fish here.
The reason is simple. Both types of tuna like to live in deeper waters. Yellowfin tuna likes to live at depths of more than 100 meters, and bigeye tuna likes to live at depths of more than 200 meters.
The Yellow Sea with an average depth of only forty meters is obviously not a suitable living environment for them. In particular, there are many reefs on the bottom of the Yellow Sea, and tuna seldom appear near the reefs due to their high speed.
It is for these reasons that there are almost no tuna schools in the Yellow Sea.
The beauty in Xiao Peng's heart is that the Yellow Sea is not suitable for the life of the alloy marlin school. Doesn't it mean that the Qianliyan fishery is not suitable, so the deep trench is not enough for you to live?
This school of tuna seems to be brought over from the Sea of ​​Japan by the dog eggs. Xiao Peng couldn't wait to hug the dog eggs and kiss them fiercely!
Although there are only a few dozen yellowfin tuna and bigeye tuna in the school, almost all the rest are bonito, but Xiao Peng is absolutely confident that these tuna will multiply in his own fishing ground.
As we all know, tuna is a cruising fish and does not live in one place. In fact, the reason is very simple. Tuna is very picky about food. They are cruising in pursuit of food.
However, the small fishes and crustacean molluscs in Qianliyan Fishery are all grown up on Enteromorpha feed, which is definitely the best food for tuna. Will they leave if they have food? And as for the reproduction of tuna? So don't worry, yellowfin tuna and bigeye tuna can reach tens of millions of ovulations at one time. As long as you pay attention to protection, you will surely become an ethnic group soon.
"Uncle, uncle? Are you stupid?" When Xiao Peng reflected, Fang Ranran was shaking him vigorously.
"Ah? What's the matter? What are you doing with me?" Xiao Peng looked questioned.
Fang Ranran heard this with a look of displeasure: "Uncle, I'm very serious about telling you what I have seen and heard, but you are distracted? What are you thinking? You don't take me too seriously, right."
Xiao Peng jumped up from the sofa: "Isn't paying attention to you? Just now, the uncle was thinking about what to entertain you. Let's go fishing! Call sister Ye and Mengzi, let's all get out! GOGOGOGOGOGO!"
. . . . . .
Xiao Peng didn't let Yang Meng sail the boat, but sailed by himself. After all, he knew the location of the tuna school.
Although there are not many tuna in the fishery at present, Xiao Peng still wants to catch a fish to feel the feeling of tuna fishing-this is an experience he has never had before.
Yang Meng arranged fishing gear on the deck, while Ye Yuli and Fang Ranran were taking selfies. For them, this is just a sea trip.
Xiao Peng asked Yang Meng to drop the trawl first. Get some mackerel and herring and put them in the living water tank.
"The fish here are so big." Fang Ranran looked at the fish in the living water tank and asked, "Will you eat them tonight?"
Yang Meng shook his head: "These are all bait. Your uncle said, today I only catch big fish."
"Bait?" Fang Ranran opened his eyes wide. "Such a big fish as bait? Are you going to fish for sharks?" Fang Ranran was holding a mobile phone in his hand and was about to start shooting video again.
Yang Meng smiled at Fang Ranran: "Who knows, the rules of the sea, on the boat, the captain should do whatever he says, I think it should be fishing for yellowtail or mackerel bonito." Yang Meng Finished. Take out a few fish, cut them into pieces, and put them in a bucket for later use.
Xiao Peng slowed down the boat slowly: "That's it. Lower the pole and cast bait."
"Good!" Yang Meng threw the fishing rods into the sea and inserted them into the fishing rod jacks on the ship's side. At the same time, throw the sliced ​​fish into the sea rhythmically. The fish segments are connected in a line in the sea, which can lead big fish that eat bait to the hook.
After Yang Meng finished throwing the bait, he ran into the cab and observed the fish finder.
After a while, Yang Meng's voice came from the cab: "Xiao Peng, a school of fish is coming. It seems that the scale is not small."
"Big fish, small fish?" In fact, Xiao Peng had known it a long time ago. It was the school of mixed bonito that came. At this time, you still have to pretend you don't know.
"It seems that the physique is not small, it is about one meter or so. There are also some big guys, such a large group of sharks? Is there a mistake?" Yang Meng's voice came from the cab.
The shark is big, it's bigeye tuna and yellowfin tuna, right? Of course, Xiao Peng could only think about it this way, and he couldn't say these words.
A total of eight fishing rods were inserted into the tail of the Arale, and almost instantly, the eight fishing rods were bent at the same time. This is a posture of eight fish bait at the same time.
Tuna is a greedy fish, the big stomach king of fish, and its appetite is amazing. Although the taste of bonito is not like the other brothers, this gluttony is exactly the same. There is a video on the Internet, a group of people sitting on the bow of the boat fishing for tuna, one in two seconds, the fish is bonito.
Yang Meng and Xiao Peng had a hurried meal before they received all the eight fish on the boat. The largest of these eight bonitos can be one meter long and more than 40 kilograms, and the smallest one can measure 60 centimeters and more than 20 kilograms.
Ye Yuli looked at the bonito and smiled: "This is all right, you can go back to make bonito stock."
Fang Ranran curiously asked: "This fish is made for soup? Isn't the fish tasty?"
Ye Yuli smiled and said, "This is bonito. Dried fish is the best to eat, but the taste of the fish is a little worse. Even in the country that loves sashimi so much, you don’t eat raw bonito, but sashimi. They are all made half-cooked. But when it’s made into dried bonito for soup, it tastes great. When I go back I will make dried bonito for you. Dried bonito is known as the hardest food in the world. Soup."
Xiao Peng is in the category, there are too many bonito in the sea. Can't catch bonito all the time, right? Xiao Peng thought for a while: "Mengzi, continue to cast bait, this time change the live bait on the hook." Live bait is to put the live fish directly on the hook. The live fish eats painfully and struggles hard, which is more attractive. Da Yu took the bait.
Yang Meng put live bait on the fishing rod. Drop into the sea. Xiao Peng contacted Goudan and asked him to drive the bonito.
You can make this live egg, take the rest of the sharks, and stir up the bonito school. You know, bonito is one of the favorite foods of mouse sharks.
The yellowfin tuna and bigeye tuna are much calmer. The recipes for large tuna are very mixed, and sometimes they even attack similar and small sharks. Facing a mouse shark of similar physique, there is still a battle.
So in the face of mouse sharks, although yellowfin tuna and bigeye tuna also followed the bonito school to escape, they still did not forget to escape and hunt. A yellowfin tuna caught the bait.
"What the is this?" Yang Meng roared. The fishing rod caught in between instantly turned into a bow shape. Even the Arale was dragged away.
Xiao Peng was very calm, grabbing the fishing rod and holding the fishing reel "Mengzi, put the other rods away, don't get tangled in the line!"
After listening, Yang Meng nodded and hurriedly received the rest of the fishing rods on board.
"Help me steer!" There are two rudders on the Aralei, one in the cockpit and the other in the stern, which is convenient for adjusting the direction when catching big fish and reducing the probability of fish getting out of the hook.
"Left rudder second gear, go forward, keep this speed, stop! Reverse gear, go faster!" Xiao Peng commanded Yang Meng as he took the line.
Yang Meng responded quickly, and the two cooperated very tacitly.
Although Xiao Peng's strength has improved a lot. But after catching this yellowfin tuna, I realized that I underestimated the world's hero.
The yellowfin tuna that Xiao Peng caught could be two and a half meters long and more than 300 catties. The power in the sea cannot be underestimated. Think about it, the Arale can be dragged. What kind of power is this?
Xiao Peng and Yang Meng cooperated, and it took more than half an hour to drag the yellowfin tuna to the side of the boat. At this time, the tuna struggled even harder.
"Is there a harpoon?" Xiao Peng asked Yang Meng. If this Nima didn't drag it up and let it run away, it would be embarrassing!
Yang Meng shook his head: "There really is no harpoon on this boat."
Because tuna is powerful. When towing the tuna to the side of the boat, the best way is to use a harpoon directly into the fish to make it unable to resist, tie his tail, and use a crane or winch to tow it to the boat. Now that there is no harpoon, it would be embarrassing. Can't jump into the sea and hug it on the boat?
At this moment, Xiao Peng suddenly remembered, isn't there a Japanese sword in the cabin?
Using that thing as a harpoon, well, it must be easy! Yes, just use it!
