    "Captain, everything is ready, please give the order!" the bull roared loudly.

    Qin Shiou waved his hand to indicate that he understood, and then looked at the sea surface carefully. The Poseidon consciousness had already entered the seabed and was looking for the lobster gathering place in the bay.

    The fishermen said nothing, looking at Qin Shiou expectantly, waiting for him to show the magical power of his family's magic.  They are full of confidence that under the leadership of Qin Shiou, they will definitely make money this time they go overseas!

    Compared to the fishermen who blindly worshiped him, Qin Shiou was a little embarrassed.

    Damn lobster Gaffirella is so awesome. Qin Shiou didn¡¯t find any lobster seedlings along the way. Obviously, the entire Lawrence Bay was infected by this bacteria. In the next at least two years, this rich bay will no longer be large.  Large-scale production of Maine lobster.

    And even if the bacteria are cleared from the ocean in two years, it will still take some years to recover the lobster catches of previous years.

    Maine lobsters grow slowly. Their lifespan is seventy years. It takes four to five years to grow from larvae to one pound in weight.  And it takes twenty to thirty years to grow to a weight of twenty pounds, which is about ten kilograms!

    The current lobster production in the Gulf of St. Lawrence is reduced. In addition to the extinction of lobster Gaffia, there is also the crazy operation of lobster boats.

    After learning that Gaffinella lobster appeared in offshore waters, major fishing companies and shrimp boats knew that their good days were coming to an end, and they all wanted to go crazy for the last time. After the lobster fishing season entered in November, the Gulf of St. Lawrence  The ship is overcrowded.

    Lobster fishing in North America has the same rigid standards as bluefin tuna fishing. Small shrimp fry cannot be caught. Only lobsters that grow to half a pound, or about 227 grams, can be caught and sold.

    Therefore, the gap in the shrimp pot Qin Shiou brought was about the size of a child's fist. This gap could allow lobsters weighing less than 200 grams to pass through. No matter how big it was, it would not be possible.

    Generally speaking, it takes 9 to 12 months for Maine lobsters to grow to half a pound. Their mating season is generally from late April to July, and the peak period of group mating is in May.  Starting from July every year, North America enters the lobster harvest season. The United States starts earlier, while Canada has higher latitudes and lower temperatures, so the harvest season starts later.

    In fact, the beginning of lobster shelling in summer means that the lobster season has arrived.  However, the lobsters that had just been shelled were all soft-shell lobsters. Their meat was unsatisfactory, contained a lot of water, and was of low value, so no one fished them at that time.

    Starting from September, as the temperature drops, the lobster¡¯s shell will harden and the meat will become better.  Lobsters are at their fattest in November. The Canadian government sets this time to February of next year as the lobster fishing season, and March is reserved for lobsters to mate and reproduce.

    This year¡¯s lobster fishing has been extra crazy. A large number of lobsters have been taken away, and the Harvest entered the game too late.

    But they were lucky. They had just experienced a terrible storm last night. All the shrimp fishing boats had returned and suffered varying degrees of damage. Now there were fewer shrimp fishing boats in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, giving them a chance.

    For fishermen, this winter is like a leaky house with continuous rain.

    The lobster Gaffirella has just shown its ferocious figure, and it encountered the coldest weather that has happened once in ten years. Last night's storm also dealt a heavy blow to the fishermen. Many lobster boats' lobster pots were lost in the ocean.  Through the Poseidon consciousness, Qin Shiou had seen several strings of shrimp pots in the sea.

    There are occasionally lobsters in these lobster pots, but these few are not what Qin Shiou wants, so he can only continue heading north.

    Yanqiang and the others were able to endure it. They gathered around, smoked and chatted, and even began to discuss how to spend the money they earned, what to buy for their wives, children, parents, and what to add to their homes.

    Qin Shiou felt that such an aimless search would not work, so he began to look at the charts to find the dense reefs in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

    He knows that lobsters are not good at swimming and usually live in shallow water areas with many rocks and reefs, and reefs are very suitable for their habitat.

    After identifying several areas with dense reefs, Qin Shiou asked Shaq to drive towards this location. Yanqiang and others were a little embarrassed after seeing it, and explained: "Captain, there may be lobster schools in these places, but they are very dangerous. There are too many reefs."  , want to go on an adventure?¡±

    Qin Shiou patted Yanqiang's shoulder and said: "We have to avoid risks, but we cannot be afraid of taking risks. We in China have a saying, if you don't get into the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs! Forget it, you don't understand, just follow what I say and move forward.  !¡±

    If it were the past, Yanqiang and others might question Qin Shiou's decision. After all, it would be too dangerous to enter the reef waters during low tide in winter.  But after what happened last night, the group firmly believed in him. If he said to move forward, then move forward!

    The Harvest turned to the nearest reef seaIn the domain, Qin Shiou is not afraid of accidents. The Poseidon consciousness is warning him. If there is danger, he will ask Shaq to turn around in advance.

    ¡°It is true that you cannot catch tiger cubs without entering the tiger¡¯s den. When the fishing boat was more than ten kilometers away from the reef, a group of lobsters appeared in the field of vision of Poseidon¡¯s consciousness.

    This lobster group consists of about four to five thousand large and small lobsters. Dozens of half-meter-long super large lobsters lead the group, and other lobsters follow behind, forming a shrimp belt several kilometers long, one after another, swinging.  They formed a neat queue and marched forward mightily.

    Seeing these lobsters, Qin Shiou was happy. Good people are rewarded. Their risking their lives to save people yesterday paid off. On the first day they entered the Gulf of St. Lawrence, they encountered a swarm of migrating lobsters.

    Ethnic migration occurs not only among migratory birds, but also among fish and shrimps, such as lobsters. In order to avoid severe cold in winter, they will seek out warm ocean currents to migrate.

    Generally speaking, Maine lobsters are solitary by nature and do not like to live in groups. However, when they migrate along the warm currents in autumn and winter, they will automatically gather together and travel across the seabed in a mighty way.

    Why do solitary lobsters move in groups?  It's very simple. They form a queue and can effectively reduce the resistance of the water in progress.  According to research by marine biologists and dynamicists, the resistance of lobsters in a queue can be reduced by 65% ??compared to swimming alone.

    In addition, lobsters have many natural enemies, such as sharks and whales. They can also scare natural enemies and protect themselves by gathering in groups like this.

    ??However, this is cheaper for humans. Often fishermen can catch a large number of lobsters if they are lucky enough to catch a warm current.

    Qin Shiou waved to Shaq to anchor, and then shouted: "Guys, put down the lobster pots. There is plenty of lobster smell here. There must be a large group of lobsters nearby!"

    The smoke gun and others threw away the cigarette butts in their hands, and more than a dozen people shouted slogans and immediately started working.

    ?? Shrimp pots can¡¯t just be thrown into the water randomly. First, Shaq measured the water depth in the cab. This was done by sonar radar. After observing for a while, he shouted: "The water depth is 110 meters!"

    Yan Qiang made a gesture to show that he understood, and he asked the bull to drag a long enough cable, about 140 meters long for fish and shrimp at both ends.  Then from this position, each shrimp cage that passes through must be tied, and twenty shrimp cages are placed on a rope to form a cage string.

    After the cage string was tied, two skillful fishermen came up and tied ball buoys on both ends of the cable. This buoy is a large dark red ball with a diameter of more than one meter. It can be found even from a long distance on the sea surface.

    Others put the frozen offal of chickens, ducks, pigs and cows into the lobster pots as bait. These baits are all purchased and the price is cheap, because Canadians do not eat the offal of poultry and livestock, but they are very interested in lobsters.  of temptation.
