MTL - A Day In a Japanese Fishing Village-Chapter 59 yellowfin tuna

   (Thank you for the 700 starting point reward from the readers of "Yafufu"! I ask for a recommendation ticket!)

   Just when Shuichi Minano was about to have a deep chat with Ami Inoue, the system suddenly prompted: "Ding dong... A school of yellowfin tuna was found 15 nautical miles from the host due east! Coordinates: longitude 137.2, dimension 53.1, and the number is 361!"

   "Finally wait until the tuna appears!" Minami Shuichi was secretly ecstatic. It’s been almost five or six days since I went out to sea, and I finally found the tuna shoal for the system.

The distance of   15 nautical miles is neither far nor near.

   Fishing for tuna is different from fishing for other species. Longline fishing is required to catch tuna. Tuna is a ferocious type of carnivorous fish. It is also a first-class predator in the marine food chain. Fishing with normal nets is not practical, mainly these tuna swim too fast! They have a large range of activities, and it should be too late to catch up and catch them with longlines.

   is the most suitable way to deal with this ferocious fish. This ferocious hunter is often very aggressive and likes to eat those bait that have the ability to resist, so longline fishing can often attract them.

"checking data!"

"Yellowfin tuna, a rare pelagic fish in the warm waters of the ocean. It is a type of tuna, named for its yellow dorsal and **** fins. It is the most productive tuna. The adult fish can be up to 3 meters in length and weigh in Up to 225kg."

   After reading the information, Minano Shuichi knew that yellowfin tuna is second only to bluefin tuna among many tuna species. In terms of body size, it catches up with bluefin tuna. The adult fish are basically 2 to 3 meters long, and the weight is estimated to be about 100 kilograms to 225 kilograms. In terms of meat quality, it is inferior to bluefin tuna. However, yellowfin tuna is highly productive, so it is the most caught of all tuna. The price is not cheap, and the price is estimated to be the first-class existence among many tuna.

   Originally, Shuichi Minano wanted to take the deep-sea hunters and ten great white sharks to intercept this group of yellowfin tuna and even hunt them. But come to think of it, these yellowfin tuna are not to be messed with either. They are also the first-rate powerhouses in the food chain. Although not as good as the great white shark, the great white shark still has a lot of difficulty in hunting them. First of all, the yellowfin tuna is not small in size and very aggressive. Plus they swim faster than great white sharks! Great white sharks are likely to be kited. Besides, if ten great white sharks provoke these more than 300 yellowfin tuna into a panic, and they attack them in groups, it is estimated that ten great white sharks will be enough.

"With the terrifying combat power of deep-sea hunting beasts, you can kill a dozen yellowfin tuna. However, the process of fighting will definitely damage the body of the yellowfin tuna, causing them to bruise or damage the body of the fish. This is a bit of a loss. "Minami Hideyoshi thought to himself. At that time, when the yellowfin tuna are poked with several large holes, or are stunned by deep-sea hunting beasts and appear bruised, the meat quality of the yellowfin tuna will definitely be inferior, so it is estimated that no one is willing to buy it at a high price.

   "Looks like it can only be fished with longlines."

   It is already night, but it does not affect the use of longline fishing. When he came to ask the old man Kimura to drive to the north, Minano Shuichi kicked the sailors awake.

   "Boss, why did you wake us up?" All the sailors were a little dissatisfied when they were kicked awake, but after seeing that the person who kicked them was Shuichi Minano, they didn't dare to be dissatisfied.

   "Prepare to release longline fishing, I guess there will be tuna in this sea area!" Minami Hideyoshi said.

"Yes!"

   A group of sailors did not doubt Minano Shuichi's order. The experience of ordinary fishing masters is definitely not something they can guess. You tend to think that this area is a time when there will be no schools of fish, but the master fishermen are laying gillnets or longlines here. There will always be unexpected gains.

How many stories of    have been circulated in Nemuro Fishing Port!

   If everyone was a good fisherman, they wouldn't have to be a tough sailor. Fishing masters are often full of mystery in the eyes of these sailors! Now, Minano Shuichi is a mysterious and experienced fishing master in their eyes.

   There was a master fisherman at Nemuro Fishing Port, but now he is dead. Once he went to sea, he set up a net in a sea area, ready to fish.

   At that time, there was no sign of the fish for three days. The sailors and partners were impatient and ready to retreat. Unexpectedly, he insisted and asked to wait one more day. Sure enough, on the fourth day, a steady stream of fish passed by there. That time they came home full.

   Therefore, in the eyes of these ordinary people, fishing masters seem to know fortune-telling, as if they know where fish will appear. In fact, these are all fishing experiences! Because the old man knew when and where certain schools of fish migrated, all he had to do was wait and see! It's that simple, but it's very mysterious in the eyes of ordinary people.

   Now Minano Shuichi will not reveal his ability to locate fish, so he just needs to pretend to be mysterious. Anyway, no one can expose this thing! No one would have thought that a person would possess such a strange ability.

   Although Minano Shuichi did not let the deep-sea hunting beast take action, he also told him to bring ten great white sharks to stare at the more than 300 yellowfin tuna in the distance, just in case of emergency.

  When two fishing boats came to the vicinity of the yellowfin tuna school, these yellowfin tuna were still happily eating in the water, they were foraging.

   "Boss, the longlines are all ready, you can put them down one by one."

   "Okay, let's get to work." Minami nodded slightly. Since the yellowfin tuna is more than 20 meters below the sea at the moment, no one has found fish here.

   Longline fishing is a relatively complicated job, and Minamino Shuichi also joined in to help.

   Pick up the bait, put it on the hook, then hook the fishing line on the main line, and then throw it into the sea, and the hooks drift behind the fishing boat with the current.

   Both fishing boats are placed on longlines, and there is a certain distance between the two sides, which is easier to operate.

   "It's already eleven o'clock in the evening. Is the boss crazy? What kind of fish are you fishing at this time?"

   "I was kicked out for longline fishing at night, and there are no schools of fish here!"

   "It's hard to say, the boss may think there will be tuna infested here." A sailor still supported the boss.

   "Tuna are going to sleep!"

  “…”

   I was busy for about half an hour. A total of 1,000 hooks were put down, and a fishing boat put down 500 hooks.

   A thousand specially treated baits floated on or near the heads of the tuna, and soon the specially treated baits caught the attention of the yellowfin tuna.
