Compared with other sea crabs, it is undoubtedly more difficult to salvage king crabs, and this kind of crab is mainly distributed in cold seas. This also means that the sea areas where this kind of crab can be caught are relatively rare.

In addition, the sea areas where king crabs live are much deeper than ordinary sea crabs. It really takes some luck and experience to salvage such large crabs hidden deep under the sea. Perhaps it is because they are difficult to catch, so the price remains high.

There are many professional crab boats that come to Antarctic waters or other cold waters to catch king crabs every year. However, every time you go to sea, even experienced crew members cannot guarantee that they can catch too many king crabs every time they go to sea.

Even in some sea areas with relatively dangerous sea conditions, the risk of salvaging such crabs is very high. If you are not careful, crew members and crab boats may be buried at the bottom of the sea. In short, this money seems to be easy to make, but not many people can really make this kind of money.

It was the first time that the crew members were led to this sea area and carried out experimental fishing. Speaking of which, although Zhuang Haiyang was confident, the other crew members were still quite looking forward to it. The crab cage was not hung up, and everything was unknown.

After everyone had breakfast, Zhuang Haiyang also said at the right time: "I'm going to change my clothes and start hanging the cage."

"clear!"

"By the way, when you are hanging up the crab cage and selecting crabs, you must pay attention to what I said before. The policies on Newesel are somewhat different from those in China. They all have strict standards for this kind of king crab.

This also means that when you choose crabs, you must choose crabs that meet the standards. Don’t be reluctant to throw them away those crabs that do not meet the standards. If you transport the crabs that do not meet the standards, you may be fined even if you do, do you understand?"

"Well, remember! But it's better to show us when you catch the cage. In that case, we will choose and know how big a crab can be. King crabs look big, right?"

"That's true! Compared to the sea crabs we used to catch, there are probably many king crabs that do not meet the standards."

After laughing, Zhuang Haiyang also signaled Wang Yanming to drive the boat to the place where he got the crab cage yesterday. When he saw the outermost crab cage float, Zhuang Haiyang personally took on the crab cage as usual, and then hung it on the crane.

As the crane started, the ropes tied to the crab cage began to tighten. Not long after, the crab cage that had been sunk for nearly a day at the bottom of the sea was finally pulled out of the water. The moment they saw the crab cage, everyone was instantly boiling.

"I held a grass and burst the cage! burst the cage! So many crabs!"

"Yes! This crab is too big and looks a bit scary!"

Amid the silence of discussion, the two crew members pulled the crab cages one by one and the other to the deck. Zhuang Haiyang, who was personally responsible for opening the cages, soon saw countless king crabs being dumped into the sorting box, filling a box with one cage.

He handed the empty cage to the crew around him to clean up and deal with it. Looking at the crab struggling in the box, Zhuang Haiyang picked a crab from it and said, "Junzi, you all have a good idea! The minimum standard must be larger than this one."

"Ah! I guess I can't pick too many suitable ones in this box of crabs!"

"It's okay! It's better to lack than excessive. As long as the crabs we salvaged are of good quality, there will definitely be an advantage in price. The most important thing is that most other crab boats freeze or keep the king crabs caught, but we can sell live crabs.

All the king crabs that meet the standards are dumped into the water tank after sorting. These king crabs are not as aggressive as they imagined. By the way, let’s see if there are any crabs that are missing and don’t have legs and send them to the kitchen for extra meals.”

"Okay! So, we can have a big meal again at noon."

As Zhuang Haiyang gave instructions, he focused on picking a few crabs that did not meet the standards and threw them back into the sea. He pushed the sorting box containing the crabs aside and handed them over to Zhu Junhong and others for sorting, and the ship continued to sail forward.

When the second crab cage was lifted out of water, the crew members were also excited to see the crab cage that exploded again. They were reluctant to throw crabs before, but now they finally understood that with such gains, they could indeed choose the best ones.

Accompanied by sorting boxes filled with crabs, they were pushed to the deck and handed over to the crew to sort. The first box of finished crabs selected was also pushed into the water tank not far away by several crew members, and the crabs were then thrown into the water tank.

Under normal circumstances, many crab boats will directly cook the newly caught king crabs and then quickly freeze them. In this way, the king crabs can be kept more umami. Some fishing boats can be frozen and kept fresh directly.

Only a few crab boats can truly deliver the fresh king crabs to the market. After all, king crabs are caught out of the water and will return soon. Otherwise, if they are kept on the boat for a long time, these king crabs may be raised to death.

Once the crab dies, it is not valuable. It is precisely for this reason that when Zhuang Haiyang customizes the fishing boat, he specially asked the captain to create two water tanks, one large and one small. The large ones are naturally used to hold crabs.

The smaller one is used to hold some relatively rare live sea fish. More fished seafood will have different varieties and will be sent to the frozen and fresh storage warehouse. Fortunately, the fishing boat is large enough, so there will naturally be more seafood that can be loaded.

What surprised Zhuang Haiyang was that when the crab cage was halfway through, he found that there seemed to be a cage missing. And the float in the cage seemed to disappear. Seeing this, Zhuang Haiyang was also stunned.

"There should be a cage here, why is the float missing?"

"The ocean, is it because the rope is broken? The float will not be subjected to force, so it must have floated far away."

Hearing what his comrades around him said, Zhuang Haiyang also said directly: "Let the boat pause for a while and then find the rope again. Although the cage is not valuable, the crabs in the cage are valuable. I will go down the sea to catch it."

When many comrades heard this, they said, "Is the sunken cage very shallow?"

"Don't worry, don't you know my water quality yet? It won't take much time for a few minutes."

While talking, Zhuang Haiyang took the spare rope from his comrades, took off his coat, moved his body briefly, and then jumped into the bottom of the sea. After searching for a while, he soon saw the crab cage in the sunken sea.

What surprised Zhuang Haiyang was that the crab cage had obviously suffered some impact. Perhaps it was because of this impact that the rope eventually broke. Considering the bait he put, he thought this would happen, which was not too strange.

After finding the broken rope, Zhuang Haiyang directly connected it. Not long after, it surfaced directly. Seeing the crew on the boat, Zhuang Haiyang also said in time: "Put down the hook a little!"

"Okay! Put the hook, put the hook!"

Under the command of the crew, the hook was quickly put down. The rope that was added was hung directly on the hook. Zhuang Haiyang also signaled the crew to lift it. Then he pulled the sling directly and returned to the ship again.

"Okay! Keep lifting! This cage seems to have been hit by some impact, and it seems that a shark should have been visited."

"Ah! That cage of crab?"

Hearing Zhuang Haiyang here, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, we are using an iron cage, and the shark's teeth are almost there. You can take over, and I will go back to the cabin to change my clothes first. This is wet and uncomfortable."

"Okay, then you go and change your clothes, we can do the rest."

"It's OK. You'll take over this job sooner or later. Remember, you must be extra careful when pulling the buoy. The storm here is even bigger, don't fall off the boat, do you understand?"

"Yeah, remember!"

After explaining some precautions to his comrades, Zhuang Haiyang quickly returned to the cabin and changed his clothes to dry. Even if there is a better solution, some things need to be avoided in front of these comrades.

At this moment, I saw the crab cage that had just been hung up. Although it was filled with king crabs, the cage did look a little deformed. Even when the crabs were poured out, some comrades soon discovered that several crabs were dead.

Seeing this scene, many comrades said, "What a pity!"

"It seems that there is something in the sea, and you want to compete with us for food?"

"It's okay! Those who are dead are thrown back into the sea. The cage is not thrown away, and there are so many crabs, and I still make a profit. By the way, I will break the cage and level the concave area again."

"Well, don't worry, leave this to us!"

The comrades who are specialized in cleaning the crab cages are themselves responsible for ensuring that the cage can be reused. Many times, when the crab cage sinks to the bottom of the sea, they will also encounter some chews and bumps. In this case, they naturally need to be repaired.

Even if nearly half of each box of crabs are to be thrown back into the sea. But in fact, if other crab boats see this fishing efficiency, it is impossible not to be jealous. The originally empty water tank was also occupied by many large crabs.

Fortunately, the king crabs are not very aggressive, and the space in the water tank is enough. Zhuang Haiyang, who handed over the lifting work to the crew, also poured some nutrient solution into the water tank at the right time to ensure that these king crabs remain active.

With Dinghaizhu water, Zhuang Haiyang believes that these king crabs will live a very comfortable life. But when they are sent to the port, their subsequent destiny will naturally not be managed by Zhuang Haiyang. These king crabs will be exchanged for money!

For the crew members who followed the sea this time, they were also looking forward to the share they could get when they sailed for the first time. Even if the big head was taken out by Zhuang Haiyang, the money they had allocated to them would not disappoint them.

Compared to receiving a fixed salary, these crew members care more about sharing the share and bonus! This is the real big deal!

But what made Zhuang Haiyang a little helpless was that when the crab cage was lifted, the rope was torn off twice. The result was obvious that Zhuang Haiyang could only go down three consecutive trips.

Seeing this scene, everyone also smiled and said, "Fortunately, the ocean is here, otherwise these three cages would not be able to be caught. It would be a pity if they lost the cage. It would be a pity if they could not be caught in the sea."
