"Captain, everything is ready, please give orders!" the bull roared loudly.

Qin Shiou waved his hand to signal that he understood, and then looked at the sea surface carefully. The sea god's consciousness had already entered the seabed and was looking for a lobster gathering place in the bay.

The fishermen looked at Qin Shiou without saying a word, waiting for him to show the magical power of his family spells. They were full of confidence that under the leadership of Qin Shiou, they would definitely make money this time going to sea!

Compared to the fishermen who blindly worshipped, Qin Shiou was a little embarrassed.

His mother's lobster Gaffkiller is so awesome that Qin Shiou didn't find lobster seedlings along the way. Obviously, the entire Gulf of Lawrence was infected with this bacteria. At least two years later, this rich bay will no longer produce Maine lobster on a large scale.

Even if the bacteria are removed by the ocean in two years, it will take some years to restore the lobster catches in previous years.

Maine lobsters grow relatively slowly, and their lifespan is 70 years. It takes four to five years to grow from a small shrimp seedling to a pound. However, it takes twenty to thirty years to grow to twenty to thirty years to grow to twenty to thirty years!

Now the lobster production in the Gulf of St. Lawrence has been reduced, in addition to the extinction of the lobster Gavkiller, there is also the crazy operation of shrimp boats.

When they learned that the lobster Gavkicella was on the coast, major fishing companies and shrimp boats understood that their good days were coming to an end and they all wanted to go crazy for the last time. After the lobster fishing season began in November, the Bay of St. Lawrence was full of ships.

Catching lobsters in North America, like catching bluefin tuna, has hard standards. Small shrimp seedlings cannot be caught. Only lobsters that grow to half a pound, or about 227 grams, can be caught and sold.

Therefore, the gap in the shrimp cage brought by Qin Shiou is as big as a child's fist. This gap can allow lobsters less than 200 grams to pass through, and no matter how big it is, it will not work.

Generally speaking, it takes 9 to 12 months for Maine lobsters to grow to half a pound. Their mating season is generally from late April to July, and the peak of group mating is in May. From July every year, North America enters the lobster harvest season, earlier in the United States. Canada has a higher latitude and a lower temperature, and the harvest season is later.

In fact, from the beginning of the summer lobster unshelled, it means that the lobster season has arrived. However, the lobsters that have just changed their shells are all soft-shelled lobsters, with poor meat quality and high water content and low value, so no one went to catch them at that time.

Starting from September, as the temperature drops, the lobster shells will become harder and the meat will be better. In November, the lobsters are the most fat. The Canadian government will start this time to February of the following year. As the lobster fishing season, March will be reserved for lobsters to mate and reproduce.

This year, the lobster fishing work is extra crazy, and a large number of lobsters have been taken away, so it is too late to enter the market.

But they were lucky. They had just experienced a terrifying storm last night, and all the shrimp boats returned to sail and suffered varying degrees of damage. At this time, the shrimp boats in the Gulf of St. Lawrence gave them a chance.

For fishermen, this winter is a rainy night.

The lobster Gavkisella had just revealed its hideous figure and encountered the cold weather once in a decade. Last night's storm also hit the fishermen with a heavy blow, and many shrimp cages on shrimp boats were lost in the ocean. Qin Shiou had seen several shrimp cages in the sea through the consciousness of the sea god.

There were occasionally lobsters in these shrimp cages. But there were so few that were not what Qin Shiou wanted, so he could only continue to go north.

Yangui and others were able to stand it. They gathered together to smoke and chat, and even began to discuss how to spend it after making money, what to buy for their wives, children and parents, and what to buy for their homes.

Qin Shiou felt that such a purposeless search was not good, so he began to look at the charts to find the dense reefs in the Bay of St. Lawrence.

He knew that lobsters were not good at swimming and usually lived in shallow areas of rocky reefs, and the reefs were very suitable for their habitat.

After identifying several areas with dense reefs, Qin Shiou asked Shaq to move into this position. Yan Gun and others were embarrassed after seeing it, and explained: "Captain, there may be a lobster group in these places, but it is very dangerous. There are too many reefs. Do you want to take risks?"

Qin Shiou patted the shoulder of the smoke gun and said, "We must avoid risks, but we cannot be afraid of taking risks. There is a saying in China that if we don't enter the tiger's den, how can we get a tiger's son! Forget it, you don't understand, follow what I said, move forward!"

If it were the past, Yan Gun and others might have to question Qin Shiou's decision. After all, it would be too dangerous to enter the reef waters during the low tide in winter. But after what happened last night, the group believed him without doubt. He said to move forward, then move forward!

The Harvest Turns to the nearest reef. Qin Shiou is not afraid of something happening. The sea god is warning him. If there is danger, he will make Shaq turn in advance.

It is true that you can't get a tiger's son without entering the tiger's den. When the fishing boat was still more than ten kilometers away from this reef, a group of lobsters appeared in the vision of the sea god's consciousness.

This lobster group consists of about four or five thousand large and small lobsters. Dozens of super big lobsters half a meter long lead the team in front, and other lobsters followed behind, forming a shrimp belt several kilometers long, headed and tail one after another, arranged in an orderly queue, moving forward in a mighty manner.

Qin Shiou was happy to see these lobsters. Good people will be rewarded. They risked their lives to save people yesterday and actually encountered a migrating group of lobsters on the first day after entering the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

Racial migration not only occurs among migratory birds, but also fish and shrimp are more common, such as lobsters. In order to avoid severe cold in winter, they will seek to migrate warm currents in the ocean.

Overall, Maine lobsters are lonely and do not like to live in groups. However, when they migrate along the warm current in autumn and winter, they will automatically gather together and walk through the seabed in a vast way.

Why do lobsters who are naturally withdrawn will move in groups? It is very simple. They form a queue to move forward to reduce the resistance of water in advance. According to research by marine biologists and dynamicians, the resistance of lobsters in the queue can be reduced by 65% ​​compared to that of a single swimming.

In addition, lobsters have many natural enemies, such as sharks and whales. They can also shock natural enemies and protect themselves in groups.

However, this makes humans cheaper. Often, if fishermen are lucky, they can catch a warm current, and they can catch a large number of lobsters.

Qin Shiou waved his hand to signal Shaq to break down, and then shouted: "Guys, put down the shrimp cage, there is a rich lobster smell here, and there must be a large group of lobsters nearby!"

Yan Gun and others threw away the cigarette butts in their hands, and more than a dozen people shouted horns and immediately started to work hard.

The shrimp cage is not just thrown into the water at will. First, Shaq measures the water depth in the cab. This is done by the sonar radar. After observing for a while, he shouted: "The water depth is 110 meters!"

The smoke gun made a gesture to show that he understood that he asked the bull to drag the cable long enough, with fish and shrimp at both ends being about 140 meters long. Then from this position, every time a shrimp cage passes through, it must be bound, and twenty shrimp cages are on a rope to form a cage string.

After tied up the cage string, two skillful fishermen came up to tie a buoy on both ends of the cable. This buoy was a large dark red bulb with a diameter of more than one meter. It could be found even if it was floating on the sea far away.

Others put frozen chicken, duck, pigs and cows into the shrimp cage as bait. These baits are purchased and are cheap because Canadians do not eat poultry and livestock internal organs, but they are very attractive to lobsters.
