Chapter 77 Peony Shrimp

After sailing for more than an hour, this situation disappeared, and the number of sea creatures gradually increased.

Yu Hongbo came over at this time

"We haven't dropped the net all day, brothers want to drag the net"

Why does Ye Yuan feel that these crew members are more concerned about the fish catch than his boss, and since he is not doing well, the crew members can't sit still anymore.

"Okay, let's go online."

Ye Yuan didn't mean to stop everyone, although there are not many fish here, but it's not that there are no fish at all, and Ye Yuan was lazy to use his perception to investigate.

It is enough to go to sea once in a while to check a few times by yourself.

If you can get a good harvest every time, then it's not a serious problem, it becomes weird.

After more than an hour of towing, Yu Hongbo ordered the net to be pulled up.

Now Ye Yuan didn't know how to direct himself if he met a cherished seafood, and left it to Yu Hongbo to do it.

As the fish left the water, Ye Yuan found that the net fish was not as small as expected, but it was not a lot, only about three or four hundred catties, in Ye Yuan's view, this was already far from ideal.

As the fish caught arrived on the deck, the crew gathered around to see that they were sorting the fish.

Ye Yuan didn't go up to look, but just took a look, and found that the fish here is very mixed, which means that there are no large fish schools here.

Usually there are various kinds of fish in the fish school, but there is still one kind of fish as the main one. Thinking that there are all kinds of fish like this now, it can only mean that there is no fish school here but scattered fish Classes are salvaged.

Just when Ye Yuan was about to turn around and feed the "squad leader".

"Squad leader" is the name given to this harbor seal by the crew.

Ye Yuan was a little speechless at first, but as everyone called it that, the spotted seal seemed to agree with the name, so Ye Yuan called it that.

"Boss, let's take a look, what kind of shrimp is this?"

A crew member shouted at Ye Yuan.

"what!"

Ye Yuan looked at the shrimp in the hands of the crew, about 20cm long, red all over, with scattered white spots on the side of the carapace
Ye Yuan quickly walked over to the crew member, took the shrimp in his hand, and began to observe carefully.

"Peony shrimp"

This is a cold-water shrimp that has gradually been recognized by people in the aquatic product market in recent years.

Because of its bright red color and sweet meat, peony shrimp is very suitable as raw sashimi, so it is very popular in the market.

However, biologically, there are 2-3 different species of shrimp known as "Peony Shrimp" on the market.

Due to the different geographical distribution and catch of different species, the price difference is caused.

Although there is no essential difference between different species of "Peony Shrimp" in terms of taste and nutrition, from a commercial point of view, if a relatively low-priced "Peony Shrimp" is used to pass off a relatively high-priced "Peony Shrimp", Also happens quite often.

It's like substituting rainbow trout for Atlantic salmon.

There are two kinds of peony shrimps that are common in the market at present, namely, high-backed long-fronted shrimp and wide-angled long-fronted shrimp.

However, the former is produced from the northern waters of the country of Wa to the Bering Sea, and the output is less, so the price is more expensive.

The latter is mainly produced in the Pacific coast of North America, with a large output and relatively cheap prices.

The high-backed long-fronted shrimp, also called Fushan shrimp in some places, has two most typical features: First, as the name suggests, the back of the carapace and the base of the forehead sword of this species are raised high, presenting an obvious convex and curved shape, " This is where the name "high back" comes from.

Secondly, on the side of the carapace, there are scattered white spots.

On the contrary, the carapace and the base of the forehead sword are not very raised and not very protruding.

In addition, there are 2-3 white strips on both sides of the carapace of the broad-horned long-fronted shrimp.

The abdomen of the high-backed long-fronted shrimp has a relatively dull general belt, and there is no white spot on the back of the abdomen, while the wide-angled long-fronted shrimp has a pair of obvious white spots on the back of the first and fifth abdominal segments.

Seeing Ye Yuan staring at the shrimp in his hand, Ma Hua said without speaking for a long time:

"Boss, are these shrimps expensive?"

Ye Yuan nodded: "This must be a good thing. This kind of shrimp is called Peony Shrimp, known as the king of sea shrimp. It is a natural red prawn, and it is not easy to catch. All Blue Stars only catch more than 1000 a year. Ton, do you think it is expensive?"

The crew stuck out their tongues after hearing Ye Yuan's explanation, then lowered their heads to look for this kind of shrimp in the catch.

"Our trawl nets are all large meshes, and small fish can escape directly. How did the peony shrimp get in?"

Ye Yuan didn't know whether to ask the crew or himself, he kept talking to himself.

"Ghost knows how it got in, as long as it's worth the money."

I don't know which crew member replied casually.

Ye Yuan also ignored these, and immediately released his perception.

Not to mention, he really found a group of peony shrimp, which can weigh several hundred catties.

Ye Yuan immediately shouted: "There should be this kind of shrimp down here, quickly change to a trawl net with a smaller mesh, and drag another net here."

Only then did the crew react and act quickly, leaving two crew members to deal with the remaining miscellaneous fish on the deck, while the others began to act quickly.

Soon the fishing nets were replaced, and as the fishing boat moved forward, the trawl nets gradually slipped into the sea.

Soon Ye Yuan felt that the group of peony shrimp had entered the net, he didn't pick up the net, but continued to drag the fishing net and sailed. After dragging for more than an hour, he asked the crew to drag the net back to the boat .

Not surprisingly, a small bag of peony shrimp appeared on the deck, and the crew swarmed up and began to pick out the living peony shrimp with buckets.

Ye Yuan also followed along to pick and choose, his purpose was to get a batch for himself, just like snow crabs.

Without anyone noticing him, he released a small batch of Peony Shrimp into the space and stopped working.

The fishing boat continued to move forward, Ye Yuan turned on his perception and continued to search for seafood in the sea, hoping to meet some rare seafood again.

Ye Yuan actually likes to use his perception to observe the underwater world, there are many interesting things here, and it is also very beautiful.

Just like now, Ye Yuan saw that several plate-sized sea crabs were lifting their huge pair of pincers, prying open the shell of a shellfish, and eating the delicious shellfish under the shell.

Who can imagine that sea crabs, which are regarded as delicacies on the table by human beings, are so vigorous on the bottom of the sea.

But Ye Yuan didn't intend to get these big crabs on board, because the number is too small, and there are snow crabs in his own space, I believe it won't be long before the snow crabs in his space will grow up in large numbers.

Speaking of space, because there are robots working in Ye Yuan's space, many fishes have started to reproduce, and many sea creatures that Ye Yuan put in before have grown up.

The several products that Ye Yuan cares about the most are living well, the valuable single-headed abalone, and the dog-clawed snails caught in Nanlin Island have already started to multiply in the space.

Not to mention the large number, the first ones put in have already grown up.
