Chapter 322: Injecting the Egg-Attachment Device
Everyone was sitting at the door bundling firewood, twisting the straw ropes, breaking off the thin branches and tying them into small bundles, and then put them aside.
Then Father Ye and Mother Ye tied the fishing net on three fixed bamboo pole supports, leaving only a cone-shaped opening on the outside of the fishing net, and a bunch of branches hanging in the center of the net as an egg catcher.
Making it into a cage type or a branch type will have a better effect of attaching eggs.
The cage type can effectively prevent a large number of squid eggs from stacking together without affecting the squid's egg laying. And it can effectively protect squid eggs from being destroyed by other marine organisms.
In fact, if you want to farm squid, now is the best time.
After catching the squid, you can also take back the branches with eggs for incubation and cultivation to maximize profits.
But there was no concept of breeding at this time, and no one knew how to breed, not even Ye Yaodong. He planned to wait for the egg-laying period to pass before taking back the attached branches.
The eggs of squid are also called squid eggs, which are also good things.
Several children were there to help carry the bundled branches and stack them on the cart. Some also helped to fold the branches.
Lin Guangyuan was bored and was dragging a bundle of branches to him and folding them, "Why do you need to tie so many branches to catch squid?"
Ye Chengyang asked innocently: "Do squids want to eat branches?"
"It will hang the rice in its stomach on the branches, and we will take advantage of the opportunity to catch more squid."
They verbally call the seeds in the stomachs of squid and small tubes rice because they are very similar to rice.
The children seemed to understand, and Ye Yaodong didn't explain much.
After a while, Mother Ye asked them to eat. After eating, they continued to work until it was completely dark, still lighting the lamp.
After Father Ye and Mother Ye finished helping Ye Yaodong, they went to help Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua. After everything was done and cleaned up, Father Ye returned to the old house to sleep.
At night, the four boats, father and son, went away to the waters they were familiar with.
Squid like to lay eggs near offshore islands. Ye Yaodong sailed the boat to Oarfish Island as usual. This is the offshore island he visits most often, and he found a large number of dead squid outside this island the day before yesterday. .
This shows that the water quality around the island is very suitable for squid to lay eggs, which is of course the first choice.
Ye Yaodong looked around with the faint light of his headlamp and flashlight, and stopped within 50 meters of the island.
Just when he was about to put in the branches with eggs, Ye's father stopped him, and poured a bucket of sea water, about two kilograms, into the soup pot. He also tapped the soup pot twice with his hand, and saw eggs appearing in the water. There were five or six spots of light.
Ye Yaodong was surprised, "What are you doing, dad?"
"This is an old method. The light spots inside are noctiluca, which can determine the squid fishing season. When there are 2 to 5 light spots emitted by noctiluca, the squid season begins. When the number of light spots reaches 10 to 15, it means that the squid are flourishing. The flood season is here.”
Sure enough, ginger is still spicy.
"That means the flood season has just begun, and it has not yet reached its peak."
"Yes, there will only be more goods coming day by day."
"Ginger is still wiser, I learned."
Father Ye was a little proud, "There are still many things you don't understand."
….
"Well, I'm starting to let go?"
"Let's put it, don't put it too deep. The effect is better within ten meters from the sea surface. And when the squid swims over, we can clearly see it on the sea surface. Remember to put it evenly."
"okay."
If you should listen to the old people, you have to listen to the old people.
Ye Yaodong took out bundles of attachments, connected and fixed them with ropes, tied them with stone sinking ropes and floats, and threw them evenly into the sea, keeping them appropriately about five meters below the water's surface.
After all the bets were cast, he cast a buoy to place the mark.
These need to be marked at sea, otherwise they will be difficult to find. Having marks can prevent you from becoming a headless fly.
Father Ye looked on and felt very satisfied. He felt that his effect was great again. "I just put it down and the effect was not so fast. Wait until after noon. Come back after noon. The squid spawning time is usually from the afternoon to the evening. The harvest is bigger during this time." , this is everyone’s fishing experience over the years.”
"I understand, then go trawl the net and come back after 12 o'clock."
Because he was determined to catch squid today, he did not collect bait. Anyway, the trawl net has harvested well recently, and he also has to collect the ground cage. I don’t know what the harvest of the ground cage will be after not coming for a day? Have you been hit by the waves and gotten stuck in the crevices of the rocks?
It was just before four in the morning, and the sky was still pitch black. Although we were close to the reef, it was not suitable for going into the water.
After the boat had sailed a certain distance, Father Ye dragged the finished fishing net to the stern slide and slowly lowered it.
While working, they accidentally encountered two other boats in the distance, which were also working at the same time. The lights on the boats allowed them to spot them from a distance.
Most people are pretty good. As long as they are not deliberately looking for trouble, most of them stay away from each other. No one wants to deliberately look for trouble.
After Ye Yaodong saw it, he also kept a distance. Several days of training taught him to remember to stay away from fishing boats at sea if there was no accident.
They didn't plan to set up the first net until daylight.
Just when they were slowing down and preparing to set up the net, they saw many fish carcasses floating on the sea at the rear of the fishing boat, as well as two big fish that were floating up and down. The dorsal fins sticking out of the sea seemed to be shark?
"Dongzi, let's set up the net again later. Go get the hand-thrown net and cast it."
"Okay." He also saw the fish on the sea.
One of the father and son took the net, the other drove the boat back to the side, and then completely spread the hand-thrown net to cover the shark and the fish floating around.
After waiting for a few minutes, I borrowed the rolling wheel and rolled up the hand-thrown net effortlessly.
As soon as they were dragged in front of them, they saw the fish wrapped in the fishing net.
"They are all skinned fish, only a few small yellow croakers."
"Pull it up first."
The two worked together to roll up a large bag of fishing nets with a rolling wheel, dragged them to the deck, untied the nets, and dumped them all out, only to find that the fish all had cuts on them.
Ye Yaodong didn't care to look at the skinned fish and took the lead in killing the half-dead shark with a stick to prevent it from exploding and hurting others during its death struggle.
Father Ye squatted down and picked up a few skinned fish and looked through them. He knew them all in his mind, and the wound on the shark next to him was more obvious.
….
He threw the fish in his hand and said: "These fish must have been hit by the propeller on the bottom of the boat. They must have encountered a school of skinned fish just now. When the boat drove past, the propeller on the stern of the boat directly cut through the underwater fish school at high speed. .”
[In view of the general environment,
The fish that fell onto the deck not only had wounds cut by the propellers on their bodies, but some of them were cut in half or into several sections, and some were even cut into minced meat.
Ye Yaodong also picked up a few and looked at them. It looked like they had been cut by a propeller. The skinned fish also had low vision. They could only see 12 meters at most. They were relatively blind. It was normal for them to hit the propeller.
"Dad, cast a few more nets and catch all the fish from the sea to dry. Don't waste it."
"Then cast two more nets and catch that shark as well."
These fish all have cuts on their bodies and cannot be sold at a high price. They are either used as bait or dried. It just so happens that the stock of dried fish at home is almost exhausted.
Originally, this fish was not popular. There are so many good fish in this era, but it is more troublesome to eat the skinned fish.
The skinned fish has a rough, frosted texture, tough and elastic skin that must be peeled off before it can be eaten, so it is called the skinned fish. The official scientific name is the pufferfish, but no one calls it that, they are all called the skinned fish. .
But after a few decades, marine resources gradually depleted, and even dog spit fish became popular, and the status of skinned fish naturally increased.
Especially the peeled and dried fish, which is expensive and delicious!
The father and son believed that they had seen it before and would not waste it. They cast five or six nets in a row before catching all the scattered fish on the sea, most of which were skinned fish.
These fish are really cut in pieces, and the intact fish also have slight traces of cutting.
There is no need to sort them. They are all taken back for their own use anyway. They are all poured into baskets and pushed to the corner. There are quite a few of these skinned fishes. There are 4 baskets piled up, weighing almost 200 kilograms.
The two sharks also have marks of being cut one by one. The cuts are very even, just like cutting the fish with a knife, which is very beautiful!
The father and son also carried them into the basket and piled them together.
After finishing, they had time to start the net hoist and drag the fishing net up from the bottom of the sea.
With the harvest of skinned fish just now, Ye Yaodong thought that this net would definitely be indispensable. Unexpectedly, as soon as he pulled it up, he found that it was all horsetail fish, and there was only a little skinned fish above the net mouth.
"I think we just met it, right here, so there's only one spot on the network port."
"Majiao is good. Majiao is more valuable." Father Ye said as he untied the net and poured it out. "It's also been a fishing season for Majiao recently. Your eldest and second brothers have also hauled in a lot of Majiao recently." .”
"It's good if you can make money, but the price is high and the quantity is small. Later, I will drag a net in the surrounding area. Skinned fish are cheap, but the quantity is large. It doesn't matter if I net more."
Skinners swim in groups, and large fish are their natural enemies. By the time the short-sighted fishes discover their natural enemies, it is too late to escape. To preserve the population, they can only swim in groups.
Only with a large enough number can some skinned fish in the population escape, and the population of skinned fish can survive.
This feature is also the reason why the price of skinned fish is close to the people, because once you encounter it, you will gather it as a group when you catch it. If there is enough production, the price will be cheap.
After they got the fish out, they sorted out the fishing nets and put them down. Then one person sailed the boat and the other sorted them, dividing the work and working together.
He wandered around the sea area where the propeller had just hit the skinned fish. He looked at the time and it was almost afternoon before he drove to the sea area next to it.
He had to make use of the last moment to catch the last net. He drove the boat not far from the reef before he prepared to set up the net.
