189. Seine fishing (weekend more, 1/5)

Qin Shiou's idea was to embezzle the money from controlling the fish disaster in Chenbao Lake to expand tourism channels, so when he encountered trouble in this regard, he needed to help.

The most important thing is that he has nothing to do, so he can't lie on the beach all day long, right?

Not only did he come to help, Qin Shiou also brought Evosen and Nelson with him. In the morning, he drove to the lakeside. Hamre, wearing a vest and suit, was already waiting there. In addition, there were more than a dozen large or small fishing boats parked by the lake, and fishing nets were placed on the shore.

Seeing Qin Shiou, Hamre came up to shake hands enthusiastically, and then said, "Have you eaten?"

"What?" Qin Shiou didn't react for a moment.

Hamley laughed and said, "Isn't this the most commonly used greeting for you Chinese? Recently, I hired a professor who has a research on Chinese language and literature from the School of Foreign Languages ​​of St. Johns University, and prepared to come to the town to open a class to tell everyone about the culture and customs of your country."

Qin Shiou suddenly realized that he was a civil servant who spared no effort to develop the town economy. He really treated the development of tourism as a matter of serious business.

"I've eaten, man, the breakfast is great. Did you eat it?" Qin Shiou replied.

Hamre sighed and said, "I haven't eaten yet. Damn it, why don't the men in Maple Leaf City sit in the office and listen to our good news, just give us some problems."

Qin Shiou was choked. It seemed that Hamre did not have a deep understanding of the culture of "eating greetings" so much. How could he answer this way? This is a Chinese-style question, European and American-style answer.

Someone arrived one after another. Hamre found a backbone including Qin Shiou and introduced: "This time, we will perform a seine to catch Asian carp. Give an explanation to the men above, is it okay?"

Hughes smiled and said, "God, this is really a errand. Seine fishing for Asian carp has proven to be a failed choice."

Hamley said: "We are just here to deal with it. Do you really want to kill our God of Wealth?"

After Hamre's publicity, many people in the town know that the Asian carp, which they regard as a disaster, will become a special project in the tourism industry.

After the arrangement, he started working. Qin Shiou took Nelson and Evosen onto a boat and took the fence and got out of the water.

A fence is a net that surrounds clusters of fish. During operation, you can use the net to surround the fish, forcing the fish to concentrate in the net capsule, thereby capturing them all in one net.

This is a relatively effective traditional fishing gear, especially for the middle and upper-level fish resources in marine lakes. In the past, Newfoundland fishing grounds used this tool and method to catch cod.

Until now, seine fishing has been the main force of the world's fishing industry. The annual catch can account for 20%-30% of the total ocean catch. Moreover, with the improvement of fishing technology and the popularization of modern fish exploration equipment, the scope of seine fishing objects has been continuously expanded, and it can even capture clustered fish at the bottom of the ocean.

Nelson rowed to the center of the lake and said, "There must be a lot of fish here, how about we start from here?"

Qin Shiou signaled to come casually, Yiwasen controlled the fishing ground, and Nelson cooperated with Qin Shiou to start getting off the net.

The fence is actually a fence to surround the net to catch fish. This net is a bit like a funnel with one end cut-out - the funnel opens upward, with one capsule and two wings.

The so-called sac is a force point at the bottom of the funnel. The two wings are both sides of the fishing net. After scattering the fishing net into the lake, closing the two wings is like closing the funnel. The surrounded fish are wrapped in the fishing net, but they will not be able to escape.

The fishing net fell. Yiwasen rowed the boat very quickly. After a while, Qin Shiou felt that it was almost done. He gave Nelson a look and the two began to close the net.

Be careful when closing the net. The two wings of the fishing net are slowly closed. Then don’t pull the fishing net immediately, but drive the fishing ground to the shore and drag the fishing net into the lake for a while. In this way, the edge of the fishing net will become entangled and the fish inside will not be able to escape.

The fishing boat was docking, and at this time two Buick Regals drove over. It was the government car that bid farewell to the town. The car was parked on the shore of the lake, and a group of middle-aged men in straight suits walked down.

Qin Shiou looked up and saw that the people dressed up as a terrifying person, with the appearance of a human elite, were obviously the officials arranged by Ottawa to check in on the work of controlling the fish disaster.

From the outside, these officials are no different from those in China who inspect work everywhere, but they are much thinner, and those who are bloated and obese or have beer belly sticking out have not appeared.

The same is true that the officials accompanied the TV station interview team, a female host wearing an O-professional suit said a few words to the camera, and then interviewed the officials and the mayor of Hamre.

Hamre is a veteran in this field. I have said a few words in a brief way, but it is nothing more than how important Chenbao Lake is to the town, how harmful Asian carp to Chenbao Lake, and how we can control Asian carp disasters after we get the support of Congress.

All of them were useless clichés. After hearing a few words, Qin Shiou lost interest and began to pull the fishing net with all his heart.

He and Ivosen were both brute force, and Nelson was responsible for locking the wings of the fishing net. As the fishing net was dragged up, the lively Asian carp were pulled to the shore.

The trawlers used this time are all five centimeter diameter mesh, which can only catch large fish. Some small local fish can easily escape even if they are surrounded by fishing nets.

Qin Shiou caught a lot of Asian carp in this net, and it seemed that there were more than twenty, each of which was seventy or eighty centimeters long and had a great visual impact.

In this way, he became a benchmark. Hamre brought a reporter from the TV station to him. The female reporter first asked Nelson, who shrugged and pointed at Qin Shiou and said, "If you have any questions, please ask us boss, I am a working person."

The female reporter didn't expect that Qin Shiou, a Chinese, was actually the boss here, so she quickly turned around to hide her embarrassment and asked him: "Sir, did you catch this net fish?"

Qin Shiou thought to himself that he is not nonsense? I am holding the fishing net in front of you. Who did it because I was not fishing?

He coughed and said calmly: "It was not what I caught."

The female reporter was stunned, and Qin Shiou added: "It was caught by our team. Looking at the two friends around me, they put in more energy than me."

After hearing this, the female reporter smiled and said, "You are such an excellent team. How long did it take to catch these fish?"

Okay, the topic is coming, Qin Shiou said, "Oh, it won't take long, about twenty to twenty-five minutes."

It took more than 20 Asian carp to catch more than 20 minutes, and his fishing boat is still efficient. Normally, he can't catch so many fish in a half hour. This is why seine fishing has no effect in controlling Asian carp disasters.

With this efficiency, I guess if you catch a hundred fish, the fish father and mother in the lake can give birth to a thousand small fish. The way of fishing in seine is ineffective for small fish.
