It turned out that what he caught was a corrugated lobster that can only be found in the Treasure Island Strait in China and normally needs to be imported.

The production of this kind of lobster is also very small here, so it needs to be imported.

The one Chu Mingcheng caught was only over two kilograms, so it was considered a relatively large individual.

The price is a little higher than blue lobster, but not much higher.

Chu Mingcheng put it into the net bag. If he couldn't find other lobsters at night, he would plate it.

The fish resources in the shallow water area were still a little low, so he simply checked the time on his diving watch and planned to go to the deep water area to have a look.

Sure enough, as soon as we arrived at the deep water area, groups of fish were swimming on the coral reefs, including sea wolves, snappers and other fish that Chu Mingcheng had seen.

There are more small ornamental fish, but he only cares for them to eat and is not interested in raising them.

Today Chu Mingcheng’s main goal is to like some groupers hiding in the coral reefs. As for these fish swimming in the middle and upper layers, we will let them go for now.

The main reason is that they are not big enough and fat enough, and have little economic value.

He climbed over a coral reef and unexpectedly found a very large manta fish slowly swimming by not far in front of him.

I can't see clearly what species it is, but its size probably weighs at least a hundred pounds.

Chu Mingcheng hesitated again and again, but still didn't want to go back and get the spear gun.

No matter how big the stingray is, it can't be sold for money, even if it weighs more than 100 pounds.

Even if he worked hard to get it on the boat and transport it back to the dock, no one would probably want it.

You might even have to cut it into pieces and sell it, and it would be pretty good if you could get a few hundred yuan in the end.

But Chu Mingcheng still followed him, adjusted the camera on his head, and captured all of its swimming posture.

After following for a few minutes, Chu Mingcheng discovered a rather large hole at the bottom, which even he could barely squeeze into.

He came to the entrance of the cave and found a parrotfish inside that was green and a little yellow.

This fish is called the green-spotted parrotfish, also called the green-spotted parrotfish.

It is usually used to pass off as genuine Qingyi fish such as Shu's Toothfish. In fact, it is just fake Qingyi fish. Fortunately, the price is not cheap and can be sold for around 130 yuan.

The blue-spotted parrotfish inside is not small at all. It was originally hiding safely in this completely enclosed cave, but it was frightened by this sudden intruder and ran around, but it didn't dare to run out of the cave entrance.

.

Chu Mingcheng stepped forward to block the entrance of the cave, and then picked up the fish spear.

Because of his appearance, the cave suddenly became very crowded, and the blue-spotted parrotfish hid in the corner and shivered.

This is just convenient for him to hunt fish. He aims the fish spear and the arrow hits the meat with a "bang" sound.

The blue-spotted parrotfish struggled desperately, but Chu Mingcheng pressed the fish spear and pinned it inside, making it unable to resist at all.

After a while, the fish died and was picked up by his hands.

This fish is a bit big, at least over ten pounds, but its mouth is not big, and the live fish buckle seems not very easy to use.

Therefore, Chu Mingcheng had no choice but to return to the ship and store it on crushed ice in a foam box.

The fish is very fat and beautiful, which makes people like it just by looking at it.

After checking the time, more than ten minutes had passed. Chu Mingcheng went into the water again and went to take a look at the trap first.

The results are also very gratifying. The traps that were set down at the earliest times have already paid off.

He lifted the bamboo stick and found a turquoise mantis shrimp with a red-black belly.

This kind is also a member of the family Mysteridae, but it is not that big, with a maximum length of only eighteen centimeters.

Chu Mingcheng looked at the mantis shrimp entangled in the trap and finally decided to take it back first.

Putting the mantis shrimp into the bottle, he continued to look for the second trap.

Eight of the ten caves were hooked, and except for one mantis shrimp, the rest were all spotted shrimps.

The smallest ones were as big as the mantis shrimp, so Chu Mingcheng kept them all, so he couldn't eat the smaller ones himself.

After swimming around, the ten traps were placed again, and he continued to swim towards the deep water area.

Then, a fish swimming slowly on the coral made his heart beat fast.

The body is brown and white, with a lighter brown color and black dots all over the body. The back is highly arched, and the head is very small, a bit like a mouse.

This is an extremely precious wild rat spot. Unfortunately, it is a bit small, most likely only weighing a little over a pound.

Chu Mingcheng slowly approached with the fish spear raised, but Mouse Ban was unusually cautious. He was only seven or eight meters away, so he ran away.

He immediately chased after him. Mouse Spot swam hastily, but it only had high explosive power. It would slow down after swimming a certain distance and could not continue to explode away.

This also allowed Chu Mingcheng to keep up, but unfortunately he couldn't catch up.

As if he found that he couldn't escape, the mouse suddenly ran into the gap in the coral reef below.

Chu Mingcheng's eyes lit up, now it really couldn't escape.

Slowly approaching, he looked down at where Mouse Spot was hiding.

Soon, he discovered that the rat spots were just hiding in one place, a bit like under a stone at the bottom of an arch bridge.

The space is not big, just enough for it to hide.

This is beautifully hidden!

Chu Mingcheng put away the fish spear and approached it diagonally from behind, so that the other party could not detect him by sight.

After getting very close, he suddenly stretched out his hand to block the front and back of its hiding place.

This is why he can almost ignore resistance in the water and can move so quickly.

If someone else were to block the door in this way, they would not be able to catch this rat spot. The resistance of the water would cause a normal person's movement to slow down.

Moreover, the water flow brought up will also make Rat Spot aware of it and escape directly.

The front and rear were blocked, and Mouse Ban tried to escape from the gap, but Chu Mingcheng's hand squeezed him against the rocks.

Then, it was controlled by his hands and caught.

After successfully catching a live rat-spotted mouse, Chu Mingcheng was even happier than he had just caught a blue-spotted parrotfish.

Even though this rat-spot weighs just over a pound, the price might be as high as 500.

The price of rat spots is so expensive. One pound of fresh ones costs four to five hundred, and the bigger they are, the more expensive they are.

But if he is dead, it is estimated to be around eighty to one hundred.

There is not much difference between the price of some fish alive and dead. In fact, many marine fish do not survive to the shore, so there is no price for live fish at all.

But there is a huge difference between this kind of rat-spotted live fish and dead fish, so Chu Mingcheng was so happy to catch a live one.

He took Mouse Spot directly back to the boat and put oxygen in the fish box.

The first of the four kings of fish in Hong Kong Island, it deserves to be treated like this.

Then he looked at his fish spear and felt that killing such a precious fish seemed a bit wasteful.

So he stopped going into the water, took out the fishing line from the fishing box, tied it with a fishhook and a lead weight, and then cut some squid meat.

Sure enough, it is more reliable to lure them with bait at the entrance of the grouper. It is now evening, and before 9:30 pm, the grouper will be active. By then, fishing should be effective.

After cutting the squid meat, Chu Mingcheng put everything aside and entered the water again with empty hands.

He wanted to catch the squid before dark, and then go fishing for grouper after dinner.

It was busy until 5:30, when Chu Mingcheng took back the bottle and put them all into the live fish cabin.

This thing takes up a bit of space, and if it is placed outside, Shrimp will die easily. Now he finally understands why others don't do this thing at sea.

Not to mention the trouble, it takes up space and is difficult to store. They would rather catch some cheap fish to increase the quantity than do this.

He took a towel and wiped the sea water off his body. Fortunately, he couldn't feel the cold in the water.

But when he came up and was blown by the sea breeze, Chu Mingcheng suddenly couldn't bear the cold.

After wiping off the water, he quickly walked into the cockpit and turned on the air conditioner before he felt comfortable.

I had to go into the water at night, so I didn't take a shower.

Take out the six-room fairy and steam it directly. After steaming, pour the steamed fish soy sauce, sprinkle with chopped green onion and millet. As soon as the hot oil is poured on it, it will be fragrant.

This fish is not sold in the market, but the fish meat is very tender and tastes very good. Chu Mingcheng is very satisfied.

I just don’t know why no one buys it in the market to eat. Although the quantity is rare, it is not as precious and rare as wild rat spots.

After having dinner and resting for a while in the cab, Chu Mingcheng went into the water again with half a net bag of cut squid meat and a line set of fishhooks he had made.

This time he was not wearing a camera because he had to bring a diving headlamp.

Now is the peak season for fish activity. As soon as he entered the water, Chu Mingcheng saw many rare coral fish and groupers swimming at the bottom. Occasionally, he could see big fish hunting small fish.

Chu Mingcheng swam at a height of about ten meters above the bottom. This height generally does not make fish wary. Secondly, it is easier for him to pull after the hook bait hits.

I use a powerful horse wire and a steel wire leader, so I'm not afraid of breaking it.

Soon, Chu Mingcheng locked the target.
