    Seine fishing is a technical job and cannot be done recklessly. The two fishing boats moved slowly on the sea surface, gently controlling the fishing nets to swing with the undercurrent, delaying the encirclement, waiting for Qin Shiou's command.

    The two old fishermen, Zach and Alder, are driving the fishing boat. They have made the right choice now. They use tacit cooperation to drive the fishing net to rotate, so that even if the fishing net cannot be surrounded, the fish that are entering will not escape.

    Qin Shiou frowned and looked ahead, thinking hard. Zhong Dajun did not dare to disturb him, so he asked Mao Weilong in a low voice: "What's going on? Do you know what to do now?"

    Mao Weilong scratched his head and said: "I don't understand. I'm a farmer. I only know a little about crops and livestock. I can't say anything about the sea."

    After hearing what the two said, Qin Shiou turned around with a smile and said: "Okay, just ask me. I'm not taking the college entrance examination. It doesn't matter if you chat casually. There are two main ways to operate the fence, one is to encircle mainly, and the other is to encircle the net.  With Zhang as the main player, I have to think carefully about which method to use to close the net."

    When fishing in winter, the main method of fishing is to use the tension-based operation method. The direction of setting the net is based on the wind direction, current direction and the movement of the fishing target. Keep the mouth of the net facing the direction of the fishing target. Drag slowly for half an hour to keep the net gear fully equipped.  Stretch out to surround all the fish and close the net.

    But now that the wind direction and current direction are not favorable for them to collect the net, this method cannot be used. Qin Shiou thought for a while and directed the two fishing boats to use another operating method to catch fish. This would consume more gasoline and manpower, but it would be more  safe.

    Qin Shiou kept issuing orders on the radio. The following two ships once again decided on a main ship and an auxiliary ship. The two ships had about the same horsepower. Zach's ship had a wider bottom and was more capable of resisting waves, so his ship  As the main ship, Alder's ship was more flexible and became the auxiliary ship.

    Zach gave an order, and the fishermen on the boat began to work together. They fixed the nets on the starboard deck. Someone watched specially. If the fishing nets were stretched and deformed severely, he would have to loosen the fishing nets to prevent the fishing nets from breaking.

    At this time, the upper and lower sections of the seine are fully deployed, with the right net wing in front and the left net wing in the rear. The main ship anchors and stops, and the auxiliary ship turns the starboard side toward the main ship, and then rotates while closing the net.

    Qin Shiou used Poseidon consciousness to monitor the merging of the fishing nets in the water. When he reached the sea area with a relatively gentle current, he ordered to start closing the nets.

    At this time, the main ship and the auxiliary ship gradually came closer, and the two ships met on the port side. After the auxiliary ship handed the dragging frame, support frame and belt frame to the main ship, he adjusted the ship's position and turned to retract and pull the net wings on both sides together with the main ship.

    There are winches on both ships. As the winches rotate, the steel ropes drag the fishing nets and begin to close.

    The Melon Princess was far away, so Mao Weilong and Zhong Dajun couldn¡¯t see clearly what was going on on the two ships, and they didn¡¯t understand why the fishermen around them had serious expressions on their faces.

    Qin Shiou immediately explained to them that bluefin tuna is a large and wild fish. They can grow to three or four meters long because their body shape is bomb-shaped. If they charge wildly, the impact will be about the same as a bomb.  If you don't close the net well, they may tear it into pieces.

    Zhong Dajun was in disbelief. He pointed at the fishing net and said: "Holy crap, is this fish so strong? I see the rope of the fishing net is as thick as my thumb. Can it catch even a car?"

    Qin Shiou said: "If there is only one impact, the fishing net will not be afraid, but once the bluefin tuna goes crazy, they will impact continuously. If the impact force is superimposed, the damage to the fishing net will be greater."

    In this case, the seine net closing direction does not need to keep the net opening and the flow direction consistent. During the net closing process, the two boats will drag the fishing net downstream for a period of time, using the current to fully open the net gear to increase the survival of the fish.  Space, try not to make the bluefin tuna feel panic.

    The three boats went out to sea this time and brought almost all the fishermen with them. More than fifty people participated in this fishing operation. Except for Zach and Alder, who each brought five people to lower and close the nets, the rest were all in Melon.  On board the Princess.

    They are fully equipped, like ready-to-go soldiers. With an order, the whole army attacks!

    And the order they were waiting for was to prepare for longline fishing.

    When the two ships started to close their nets, they followed the current and left the sea area. There were still some fish that had slipped through the net. They relied on longline fishing to catch these fish.

    Qin Shiou waved his hand, and the fishermen arranged the winding lines on the stern of the boat, and they began to work.

    Longline fishing is the most important method of fishing, with the widest distribution and the highest quantity and output.  This thing is to tie many equidistant branch lines on a main line, with fishing hooks and bait tied at the end to facilitate fishing.Floating and sinking devices are laid on the surface, middle and bottom, and a series of fishhooks are connected below to attract fish to take the bait.

    The best direction to release the line is cross current or diagonal flow. Generally speaking, tuna likes to feed against the current. In this way, the direction of releasing the line is perpendicular to the direction of the sea current, which can better attract tuna.

    Longline fishing is also a fishing method that tests manpower. A main line is often five or six kilometers long or even longer. For example, the main line on the Melon Princess is eight kilometers long. There is a branch line ten meters apart, which requires personnel to go  Hook hook and bait on the attached spur line.

    In other words, there are 800 branch lines on a main line, and there are two hooks at the front and rear of a branch line. A total of 1,600 hooks and baits need to be hung. This workload is quite large!

    "But this work must be done on site. It is impossible to hang hooks on the line in advance. The eight-kilometer long trunk line cannot be coiled at all. Once coiled together, the ropes will become entangled, which cannot be undone at that time.

    The Melon Princess is moving forward at a constant speed of six knots. The fishermen are working quickly at the stern of the boat, like a production line. The main line falls into the sea. The hooks and bait must be hung on the branch line before falling into the water, otherwise the resources of this rope will be wasted.  .

    In addition to hooks and baits, there are also people responsible for adding floating balls. There is about one branch line every ten meters. About every five branch lines, two floating balls need to be added to maintain buoyancy.  And every time two floats are installed, a pressure alarm must be installed.

    This alarm is the most important. When the fish take the bait, they will pull the branch line and sink. The alarm will feel the change in pressure and will flash a dazzling light, so that the fishermen can detect the fish in time and catch them.

    Tuna are fierce and tough. If they cannot be caught in time after taking the bait, these guys will find a way to escape.  Even if they don't escape, they will struggle wildly and entangle the main lines. Once the hooks become entangled, it will add a lot of labor to the fishermen.

    Twenty fishermen were divided into two groups, with one group working and the other resting. They were like mechanical arms on the assembly line, skillfully and accurately hanging hooks, baits, floats and alarms on the ropes.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
