1175. Attack on Tuna (1/5)
The love of Fusang people for tuna is true love, it is simply pathological love, and it has existed since ancient times.
Now, due to the high-tech preservation methods, high-protein treasures such as bluefin tuna have been circulated throughout Fusang, attracting the attention of diners across the country.
In the era when the freezing technology and preservation technology were not developed enough, the Fusang people loved more the bonito, which was also a tuna. At that time, they looked down on tuna, especially the principal tuna that they call the ocean holy fish, which is the target Ao Wenchang found for Ao Muyang, the North Pacific Bluefin Tuna.
In ancient Fusang, they did not eat animal meat for about a thousand years. Most of the animal meat was red, also called red meat. The meat of bluefin tuna was a rare red meat among fish meat, so they were not welcomed.
For a long time, the noble people in Fuso had preferred freshwater fish and carp. Later, they turned to sea fish and were mainly snapper, and they also advocated elegant tastes.
As a red meat fish, tuna is prone to rotting and produces an unpleasant smell in the era when preservation technology is not developed enough, which makes them even less popular.
In addition, in the early days of Edo, the name of tuna was pronounced as "shibi" in Japanese. This pronunciation is not very good. It is similar to shabi in Chinese, but even more ruthless in Japanese. It is homophonic with "Die Day", and is considered very unlucky by Japanese people.
Therefore, tuna was a low-class fish at that time. Not only could it not be the same as noble snapper, but also turbots, but it was not even as good as ordinary fish.
It was not until some fishermen invented the method of roasting bonito into bonito festival that the fish of the genus genus could barely enter the elegant hall. At first, the most popular fish species of the genus genus were bonito, which made bonito festival. Fishermen made wooden fish flowers with planes and ate them with rice, which was once a popular delicacy in Fuso history.
It is already crazy for the Fuso people to eat bluefin tuna into an endangered species, but it is nothing compared to eating bonito festivals before. During the Shogunate period, some people were willing to sell their wives to exchange money for their money in order to taste the bonito festival!
After listening to Ao Wenchang's suggestion, Ao Muyang was moved.
There is a large number of tuna migration during this season, and the Fuso fishing boats have already started. Every year in the first month of the year, the Tsukiji Market in Fuso holds the world's largest and most terrifying tuna auction.
The first time the dragon head went to sea, it had to be a good omen. It was used by Ao Muyang as an ocean fishing boat. If tuna was caught, especially the North Pacific tuna, it would be a beautiful start.
The North Pacific bluefin tuna is regarded as a property by Fuso fishermen. If they can snatch the catch from them, it will be more powerful than catching saury from the high seas in their area last year.
Ao Muyang farted and then made a decision: "Call the brothers in and ask if everyone knows about tuna. When the big dragon number turns around, the dragon number will go to catch tuna!"
Ao Wenchang pinched his nose and said, "Okay!"
Soon, a group of people squeezed into the cockpit. After the guy came in, he began to mutter: "What's the smell? Who farted? Why did he fart as soon as he came in?"
Ao Muyang was very surprised and asked Ao Wenchang: "Damn, so many people know about tuna?"
Ao Wenchang smiled and said, "No, everyone doesn't understand, so I simply called in together, everyone discusses, learns together, and makes progress together."
Ao Muyang gave a thumbs up, why are you so outstanding?
Someone expressed different opinions: "Scholar, don't you understand what it means? Isn't it just tuna? I know, tuna is also called black tuna, and it's almost extinct by the Japanese. Do we want to help the evildoers?"
Ao Wenchang glared at the fisherman and said, "What does it mean to help evil? Don't use it randomly if you don't understand this word. Even if we don't touch the tuna, we have to let Fusang fishermen fish for it sooner or later. Although they formulate fishing plans every year, it's useless. Last October, European media exposed a large number of illegal fishing in Nagasaki and Mie prefectures in their Nagasaki. In addition, eight prefectures including Iwate, Miyagi, Chiba, Shizuoka, Kumamoto also had illegal fishing and concealing and underreporting fishing volumes."
Ao Muyang was surprised: "You know a lot."
Ao Wenchang coughed and waved his hand in a low-key manner, saying, "I roughly learned about it before going to sea, but I don't know much, not much."
He continued: "The Fusang people are very destructive to the resources of tuna, especially bluefin tuna. Their own broadcasting association said that fishermen fish in large quantities, especially juvenile fish under one year old. You must know that the fish can only start laying eggs when they are 3 years old. Also, these turtle lambs are concentrated in the spawning place, and the local government does not care at all!"
Ao Qianwen hugged his arms and said, "When we say so, let's grab tuna resources from the Japanese. Is this a way to act on behalf of the gods?"
"We must do the way for heaven."
The fishing plan was unanimously agreed by the fishermen on the boat, so Lao Ao would not say much and was ready to start working.
When catching tuna during the spring flood season, you have to use longline fishing, which is similar to catching snapper.
Longline fishing on the big dragon number one. While the park was parked at night, Ao Daguo brought people to bring all the fishing gear.
If you do not move towards the high seas, it is difficult to meet two large fishing boats at the same time with the fishing resources in the exclusive economic zone.
Fortunately, Ao Muyang had excellent underwater vision and was led by the tiger, an ocean hunting dog. Within two days of going out to sea, they discovered a school of hairtail, a school of fish and two squid habitats.
Coincidentally, they also caught two tunas, small yellowfin tuna, which was not very valuable, but they were tuna after all.
Cuttlefish octopus is also a good catch. It is sold at a high price on the market. Two fishing boats are placed in the net at the same time. This is like forming a cross fire point in the alley, leaving no blind spots during the fishing process.
Two days later, the Big Dragon Head returned with a full load, and all the catches on the Dragon Head were transferred. One ship returned, and the other ship was lightly installed and continued northward.
Because the goal of the dragon number is to catch bluefin tuna, this is a clear goal and there is no need to waste time. They head straight to the high seas.
Ao Wenchang copied all the information about tuna in his computer. As soon as the printer started, each person had a tuna manual. He organized a study activity to let the fishermen understand the fish.
There are also tuna in the sea around the Red Ocean, but there are too few that ordinary fishermen can't touch once in a few years. Even if they encounter it, it's purely luck, so they don't know much about tuna.
Catching tuna is more difficult than catching saury. Tuna has extremely strong swimming ability and extremely complex migration routes. The Fusang people spent decades to figure out a few routes, and the powerful fishing company bought out these routes and kept them confidential.
