"You can't see a fish clearly just by looking at it like this. There are too many similar fish in the sea. You have to fish them out to know." After Ye Yaodong handed the binoculars to his father, he casually said a word and went down to the deck.

The boatmen on the deck were also whispering to each other about what kind of fish that was, which had formed a storm. When they saw him coming down, they quickly asked him.

"A Dong, just cast the net? I don't know what kind of fish it is."

"We were very lucky. We encountered a storm of fish as soon as we came out."

"The net has been pulled out and is almost ready. Shall we just cast the net?"

Ye Yaodong nodded and looked at the sea with squinted eyes, "Let's cast a net and catch more. I don't know how long this can last."

"Okay, cast more nets. With such a large quantity, even the cheapest fish can be sold for a good price."

"It's only opened two hours ago, so I'm very lucky."

"I don't know what kind of birds they are, but they are all black, and they are covered in patches. They really look like moving islands."

Some people took fishing nets and prepared to cast them, while others stepped aside and everyone was chatting there.

The feathers of these seabirds are all black. No one can recognize what kind of bird they are. They can only recognize some basic seabirds.

Ye Yaodong didn't know them either, not to mention the seabirds, he didn't even know the fish covered in the fishing net.

After everyone cast a net and went out, they immediately reeled in the net, then reeled it in. Only when he was pulled to the edge of the boat did he see clearly what the fish in the center of the storm looked like.

Through the fishing net, it looked like a type of trevally, but he didn't know the specific species.

There are rich marine species, and he only knows the tip of the iceberg. It is impossible to know everything. However, judging from the size, they are very similar to the octopus, and they are probably a type of trevally.

If you collect it and take a closer look, you may be able to recognize it. After all, there are too many similar fish in the ocean.

"Hey~"

The two of them worked together to pull up the fishing net, untied it, and when the entire net was dumped on the deck, he squatted down and picked up a fish, flipping it over in his hands. The fish was only half a meter long, but it was quite big.

Broad and cone-shaped.

When he held it in his hand, it was not completely dead, and he could even slap his hand twice.

"It looks like a six-banded trevally..."

Father Ye also came down to the deck with a telescope to take a look, "Do you recognize this fish? Does it look similar to an octopus? It's just a little smaller. It only weighs a few kilograms. It can't be compared with an octopus."

"A Dong is still very knowledgeable and knows all kinds of fish."

"I'm not sure either..."

But as soon as he finished speaking, he pulled out a brightly colored small fish from a pile of identical fish, about as long as his hand.

"Wraz..."

"Do you recognize it again?" Father Ye looked at him doubtfully.

"Yes, this fish is quite common. It specializes in eating dead skin and parasites on other fish. It is the cleaner of other fish."

"How come you recognize everything? Why don't I recognize it?"

Ye Yaodong said angrily: "Didn't they just say it? I'm well-informed."

"fart."

He ignored his father's unconvinced tone, thinking that this wrasse was probably cleaning up those six-banded trevally in the sea, right?

If it were a six-banded trevally, the cylindrical storm just now should be a jack storm.

Six-banded trevally particularly likes to cluster. When they rest, they often form this storm cluster shape. Clusters are relatively safer.

There are also areas of upwelling where plankton gathers and a large number of trevally fish gather in a cylindrical shape, resembling a storm. The storms formed by these trevally fish are generally referred to as Jack storms.

The term jack storm is used to refer generally to this swarming characteristic of trevally fish.

He thought that these six-banded trevally were probably resting and letting the wrasse give them a spa, which happened to attract a large number of seabirds flying over to hunt for food, which also attracted them.

While he was talking to Father Ye, a new net was cast out, and soon there were two more nets on the deck, sprinkling all over the deck.

Everyone's picking speed was not as fast as the speed they cast the nets to receive the goods. Before the goods in the two big nets were sorted, two more nets continued to fall, and there were also some small miscellaneous fish, small shrimps and crabs mixed in, etc.

After picking them up, they have to be thrown back into the sea again.

The seabirds in front are all swooping over the water. However, although the seabirds are not small, the six-banded trevally below is also not small. Each one weighs at least three to five pounds, and is not as easy to catch as some small fish.

.

So for a long time, Ye Yaodong watched them go up and down. He didn't eat any big fish, but could only eat some small miscellaneous fish to fill his stomach.

"Sacrifice yourself for others, leave the older ones to me, and digest the younger ones yourself. The tutoring is pretty good."

Father Ye looked at him and muttered strangely, "What are you talking about?"

"I'm praising those black seabirds for their understanding. They didn't even get a bite of the big fish. They all ate the small fish, leaving the big ones for us."

Father Ye glanced at him with disgust, said something crazy, and left him alone. He lowered his head and continued to sort these six-banded trevally quickly. The big fish had a big price, and the smaller ones had a smaller price.

But Ye Yaodong knew how to be a boss. Everyone was squatting there, including his father, but he stood with a telescope hanging around his neck, staring at the sea.

Always pay attention to when this wave of Jack storm will end and whether it will attract fishing boats from other places.

Chen Laoqi said while closing the nets: "Ah Dong, these two fishing nets will probably be scrapped after the fish are caught..."

"It doesn't matter. There are new ones in the cabin. I prepared a few extra ones when I came out. Just in case, if the old ones are too damaged, put them away. I can use them to dry the fish when I bring them back."

Make the best use of everything, and don’t waste it when you have money.

"It's good to have more. I see that you are particularly prone to encountering fish schools. We should prepare more fishing nets like this on the boat. Originally, the hand-thrown net lines are relatively thin and can be used only a limited number of times, so we need to prepare more."

Ye Yaodong just responded without saying anything more. He took a telescope and looked at it for a while, but found that the fish were still spinning in circles, not affected by them or the seabirds at all.

The seabirds can't eat them, so they will get into trouble and throw them to the sea after a while, and they can only catch two to three hundred kilograms of fish in a single net. For them, there are tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of fish here.

Generally speaking, it's just a drizzle.

They were like mice moving, eating away at the fish school bit by bit. As long as they didn't run away, of course they couldn't leave.

Although everyone's arms were sore from frequent casting of nets, at least there were more people and they could take turns. One by one, they looked at the deck piled up as high as a hill, and they were all smiling when they picked the nets as fast as they could fall.

Next to everyone there were several baskets that had been sorted and piled all over the deck. Ye Yaodong was worried that the sun would be too strong and the sun would make them stale, so he urged them to carry the goods to the fish warehouse first and spread them.

Order the ice cubes and store them first, then pick them out slowly.

Anyway, if the two new nets are brought up and then brought down, the fish that was originally exposed on the top will be covered.

At the same time, he also had an idea in his mind.

He was a little bit eager to try it, and wanted to go into the water and take a look at this Jack Storm, but he had never seen it before. He had only seen Sardine Storm and Sea Wolf Storm. It was rare to encounter this kind of thing. It is rare for some people to encounter it in their lives.

Saw it once.

He has also been in the water many times, and has seen fish storms in the water, and has some experience. Generally, fish will not hurt humans for no reason, and this kind of fish is not very big.

The most pity is that his camera can't take pictures of underwater scenes, and the movement on the sea is faint and indistinct. It's impossible to take any pictures with today's cameras, and it's a waste of film if you take pictures.

He took off the telescope, squatted down and said to his father: "Dad, you guys pick it up here, I'll go into the water and take a look."

"Ah? You want to go into the water?"

"Well, I'll go into the water and take a look. It's rare that I encounter a storm of fish. I'll go take a look at what's going on underneath."

Father Ye frowned, "So many fish have formed a storm. Is there any danger for you to go down at this time?"

"No, I'm just watching from the side. The fish storm is just their kind spinning around in circles, and they don't get along with me. Have you forgotten? Last time we encountered a sea wolf storm underwater, a sea wolf

Those sharp teeth and ferocious temperament will not harm humans."

"Don't worry, I know what's going on. If I don't go down directly, I'll go down with the trachea to take a look. I can stop it for a longer time. And doesn't Jack Storm just stay on the surface of the water? The water isn't very deep, so I'll go down to three levels.

It’s almost enough if you look at it from five meters away. This is shorter than the distance you have to go down to fish for sea urchins.”

Father Ye didn't say anything when he saw that he persisted. After so long, he still believed in Dongzi's judgment. Since he was sure, he could do whatever he wanted.

"Then you can take someone down with you, and the two of you will have company."

"OK."

As soon as Ye Yaodong raised his head, Chen Shi raised his hands and said: "Me, me, me..."

"Okay, then it's up to you and come with me."

Father Ye also stood up and stopped sorting. He was going to watch him go down and help him keep an eye on him. He kept wiping his hands on his body again and wiped them clean before taking the telescope that Ye Yaodong gave him.

"Then don't stay down there for too long, stay for a while, take a look and then come up."

"knew."

"Don't go too deep. You don't know how deep it will be."

"Um……"

"You two, don't be too far away, keep an eye on each other..."

Ye Yaodong was wearing flippers, a mask and other equipment, and his father was chattering casually in his ears.

After everything was dressed, he checked again and found that there was no problem before doing a few chest expansion exercises. Then he made a gesture to Chen Shi and jumped into the water first.

Chen Shi also jumped in. The two of them swam on the sea surface for a few times, and then sank to the bottom of the water after they got used to it.
