453. Ocean Gold

In the stunned silence of the adventure team, the fishermen put crab cages into the sea.

Crab cages are not as fast as fishing. After putting down the crab cage, they have to wait here for one or two days before they can put it away.

Suriname is desperate: "For the first time I heard that adventure teams are staying at sea to catch crabs. Will we become a joke in the circle?"

Trickron asked disdainfully: "How much money can you make in a year by treasure hunting?"

Suriname said toughly: "Last year, the US Bitli found a Spanish shipwreck and then made more than 40 million US dollars, making all the money for the rest of his life."

"I'm asking you!"

Suriname's voice weakened: "What are you asking me about this?"

Trickron said: "I can earn 10 million kroners by fishing crabs a year, so I wonder who gave you the courage to look down on crab fishing?"

Eric walked out and said impatiently: "I said that we don't disrespect your profession, but our time is precious now. Do you understand? We have to go to Greenland quickly!"

Chen Song said: "Okay, okay, everyone is calm. We just stayed on the sea for a day or two, which won't waste much time. In this way, the crab cage has been put down, so Trickron, you direct the fishing boat to fish, Eric, you take your guys to study the treasure hunt route."

Eric was a little unhappy, and Chen Song kept kicking a piece of iron plate, and then the adventurers went to the meeting willingly.

Trickron chose to stay in this sea for fishing. The sharks may not be the smartest predator in the ocean, but they have a keen sense of smell and must have abundant fishing catches where they appear.

The fishing boats drifted in the surrounding water for a while and found that there were some beautiful eels in the fishing nets, but when the fishermen fished out the nets, they found that in addition to the common herring and mackerel, there were also some very beautiful eels in the fishing nets.

These eels are very small, only more than ten centimeters in size, not as thick as Chen Song's index finger, so if Chen Song's eyes are pointed, it would be difficult for the fishermen to notice the existence of these small fish.

Chen Song noticed that these eels regarded them as some marine parasites, because they were small and translucent, with a pointed mouth and pointed tail, looking a bit ferocious.

When he pointed out the existence of the little eel, Trickron picked up one and put it in his palm and looked at it. After looking at it, he was overjoyed: "Today the goddess of luck came on our boat! She was on our boat. This was a glass eel. We ran into the glass eel!"

As a child who grew up in the mountains, Chen Song didn't know much about the ocean and lacked relevant knowledge.

Looking at Trickron’s emotional excitement, Chen Song asked, “Is this kind of eel very expensive?”

Trickron said: "Of course, of course, they are currently priced at around $1,300 to $2,000 per pound in the international market. If you don't know about this price, I'll compare it to you. Currently, uranium per pound in the international market is $42.25 per pound, silver per pound is $445 per pound, Kobe beef is $500 per pound, bluefin tuna is $1,300 per pound, and then do you understand their value?"

After listening to his introduction, Chen Song was also happy. This kind of fish is indeed very precious and can be called marine platinum.

When they learned that the fishing boat encountered an extremely precious sea treasure, the people on the boat rushed to open their eyes curiously.

Seeing the little fish that could sell for two thousand dollars per pound, Suriname and other adventurers were stunned again.

Trickron raised his eyebrows at him and asked deliberately: "How about it, sea capture is not less profitable than treasure hunting, right?"

Suriname muttered: "This kind of fish costs more than 200,000 kroners per pound? Farke, hype, it's all hype."

After the people watching the fun dispersed, Trickron suddenly sighed depressedly.

Chen Song asked, "What's wrong? You seem unhappy?"

Trickron said frustratedly: "Glass eels are valuable, but we can't catch them, you know, due to overfishing, chemical pollutants, water quality, climate change, habitat loss, etc., this eel is currently facing an existential threat and is in very small numbers."

Chen Song said: "Are they fishing banned species?"

Trickron shook his head and said, "That's not, but the US Fish and Wildlife Service has submitted a petition to list eels as endangered species. The Atlantic Week Marine Fisheries Commission, where our five Nordic countries are located, has made regulations that only 744 glass eel fishing licenses are allowed to be issued each year, and the fishing quota is only 9,616 pounds, not even 10,000 pounds."

Chen Song understood what he meant: "We don't have a fishing license, right?"

Trickron said helplessly: "Who would have expected us to have such good luck? It's really up to the goddess of luck to meet them. I have never bought a glass eel fishing license, just like I never bought a lottery ticket."

But this does not mean that they cannot catch glass eels. The Atlantic Ocean Fisheries Commission’s regulations are limited to commercial transactions. If you just fish some for yourself, there is no problem.

It is not easy to encounter glass eels, and Trickron must not give up not fishing, even if it is just a taste of them by himself.

Then the fishing boat changed its fishing net and replaced its big-eyed fishing net with a fine net. This net is called Juehu.com in China.

Chen Song read some self-media introductions when he was in China, saying that it is very disgusting for Chinese fishermen to use a terrible net. Fishermen from major fishing countries such as Iceland, Norway, the Netherlands, Britain, France and Australia all consciously do not use this kind of fishing net.

When he arrived in Iceland, he found that this was all made up by self-media in the domestic fishery industry, and there were many other things.

It is true that using a user-free net is very immoral. The domestic fishery bureau has been dealing with this issue, but foreign fishermen do not consciously do not use this kind of net, because some fishery work must be completed by this kind of fine net.

For example, in fish fry fishing, some fish species such as eels, tuna, and salmon have always been artificially raised to ensure yield. Fishermen have to use fine nets when catching wild fry.

Of course, there is no doubt that the destruction of marine resources by fine nets is not a question. Unless it is necessary for fishery work, such nets must not be used, because they really do things that are a matter of losing their descendants.

There are very few glass eels. The fishing boat swept the fishing nets and put them away. There were abundant harvests inside, and thousands of kilograms of fish were caught. However, there were mainly herring, mackerel, cod, etc., and there were very few glass eels.

In addition, other fish species in the fishing nets are of uneven size, and the fine nets have also caught the fry.
