Happy Fishing Farm

Chapter 62 Oriental Tuna

After seeing the fish, Li Xuan's face obviously flashed with joy.

I saw that the body of the fish was spindle-shaped, thick and round, with very short pectoral fins, the back of the body was blue-black, the sides and abdomen were silver-gray, and the length of the fish was nearly two meters.

"Brother Xuan, is this tuna?" Chen Bin asked eagerly.

Li Xuan nodded, "It is indeed tuna. The name of this tuna is Oriental tuna. It feeds on large zooplankton and various fish. Its populations are distributed in the temperate and subtropical zones of the North Pacific Ocean, the North Atlantic Ocean, and the Mediterranean Sea. They migrate in groups. Habits in the surface and middle layers of the ocean."

Father Li was pleasantly surprised: "Is this fish very valuable?"

Li Xuan smiled and nodded to confirm, "That's right, although the price of oriental tuna is not as high as that of the most expensive bluefin tuna, it is considered very high-end in the entire tuna family."

The edible value of oriental tuna is very high, and the dha contained in its fish meat is the most among all fishes, and dha is an essential nutrient for the development of human brain and central nervous system.

Moreover, oriental tuna meat also contains a large amount of EPA, which can inhibit the increase of cholesterol and prevent arteriosclerosis, and has a special effect on the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

In addition, most of the fatty acids in oriental tuna meat are unsaturated fatty acids, which contain complete amino acids, including 8 kinds of amino acids needed by the human body. It also contains vitamins, rich iron, potassium, calcium, iodine and other minerals and trace elements. A rare healthy food for modern people.

Luo Hai said at this time: "Captain, I heard that a tuna can sell for millions, is it true?"

Hearing this, Li Xuan's face immediately became embarrassing, "You're talking about bluefin tuna. If it's an authentic bluefin tuna, that one can cost tens of millions, not to mention millions. Most of the remaining tuna, the price It's actually pretty cheap."

Many people know that bluefin tuna is very expensive, so they stubbornly believe that as long as it is tuna, the price should be very expensive.

Actually not.

Li Xuan majored in marine biology at University, and knew many internal websites that count seafood prices.

The last time Li Xuan checked the national average price of tuna, the average price of tuna across the country was only 26 yuan and [-] cents a catty.

The price of oriental tuna is relatively expensive, but it is only 200 yuan a catty. Only those oriental tunas with a body length of more than four meters will suddenly skyrocket in price.

After Li Xuan's explanation, Chen Bin was a little disappointed and said: "So we are happy for nothing? It turns out that this fish is only worth 200 yuan a catty."

Li Xuan looked at Chen Bin, rolled his eyes and said, "This fish weighs about three hundred catties, and it costs at least fifty or sixty thousand yuan to sell. Isn't fifty or sixty thousand yuan worth being happy?"

Fifty to sixty thousand, almost enough to buy four cows.

Chen Bin quickly changed his words, "That's really something to be happy about."

"Okay, now is not the time to talk about this, quickly raise this fish to the live water tank." Father Li said.

Li Xuan also nodded, "Yes, even though the Oriental tuna is dead, it can be sold for money, but for such a large Oriental tuna, the living price is higher."

After hearing this, the crew acted quickly. Several people worked together, lifting and pulling, and quickly got the oriental tuna into the living water tank.

After such a delay.

After the oriental tuna and the remaining reticulated grouper on the deck are processed, there are only some cuttlefish and squid left on the boat that have not been processed.

Father Li held a foam box containing crushed ice in one hand and a harpoon in the other, rummaging through the pile of fish, "It's strange, why are there so many cuttlefish and squid in this net?" Many, Li Xuan, these cuttlefish and squid should also be packed in foam boxes, should we take them back together?"

Li Xuan smiled, cuttlefish and squid are in the sea, they can be regarded as the largest group besides crabs.

In any sea area where there is life, you can almost see piles of cuttlefish and squid.

"There's no need for cuttlefish and squid, dragging them back is not enough for fuel costs, just clean up the crabs and lobsters stuck in the fishing net." Li Xuan said.

In fact, Father Li also meant the same thing. In the past, when he went out to sea by himself, except for keeping a small amount of cuttlefish and squid for his own consumption, he didn't want the rest.

It's just that there are too many cuttlefish and squid on the deck this time, so Father Li asked this question.

Chen Bin picked out a few larger squids from the fish heap, "I'll save these for teppanyaki at night."

Li Xuan took a look and followed him.

Don't look at the squid inland, it can be sold as a teppanyaki, and it can be sold for one or two dollars a bunch.

In fact, at the seaside, squid is just like the skin of meat in the vegetable market. You can eat it if you like it, and you don’t need money.

But the cuttlefish, if handled properly, can still be sold for some money, but it is too troublesome.

In this net, the most valuable one is naturally the oriental tuna. Calculated by weight, it can sell for at least [-] to [-] yuan, which is considered a very precious sea fish.

The second is the reticulated grouper. Although the unit price of each one is not high, it cannot hold up to a large number. Li Xuan's octopus clones drove a large group of ducks from the bottom of the sea into the fishing net, with a total weight of more than one thousand catties.

The second is the four big lobsters stuck in the fishing net, each of which can sell for several hundred dollars.

The remaining cuttlefish, squid and the like are basically worthless seafood.

After clearing all the catches and cleaning the deck, it was already two hours later.

"Oh, I'm exhausted, sit down." Chen Bin sat down on the deck, and then patted his thighs with both hands.

Li Xuan smiled, turned around, and discussed with Father Li: "The harvest of this net is good today, I think we should give some bonuses to the crew as an incentive."

Father Li's mouth was so happy that his ears cracked. What he was most afraid of was that it would be difficult to catch fish after buying a big boat. The first net was a good start, and it completely solved his worries. Hearing this, he said proudly: " It is true that we have to pay bonuses, we made more than [-] yuan online, if we don’t give them a penny, it will be fine in a short period of time, but after a long time, even if there is no accident, everyone will disappear sooner or later.”

Li Xuan hummed, and said: "Take out 1 yuan to give out red envelopes, 2000 yuan per person."

When Father Li heard this, he was taken aback immediately, "You want to post so much?"

"Not much, not even a tenth of their income. Only when the bonus is paid enough, they will work harder in the future." Li Xuan said.

Father Li hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "All right, you decide for yourself."

Li Xuan grinned, looked at several crew members who were standing and chatting, or sitting and resting on the deck, and loudly announced the good news.
