As a Fisherman, My Fish Can Level Up
Chapter 324 - Chapter 324 Chapter 276 The Possibility of Introducing Rare

Chapter 324: Chapter 276: The Possibility of Introducing Rare Aquatic Products Chapter 324: Chapter 276: The Possibility of Introducing Rare Aquatic Products The second big fish from the bottom of the sea, unsurprisingly, was also a Big-eyed Gold Spearfish.

When Chu Mingcheng caught it, it was almost midnight.

Even he was exhausted after catching this spearfish.

No wonder some professional spearfish fishing boats, even if they go out to sea for a week, can catch at most about a dozen of these large spearfish.

Even with the help of an electric winch, catching one fish could take over an hour or even two hours.

If using a drum reel like him, it would take three or four hours even with two or three people taking turns.

Chu Mingcheng bled the second Big-eyed Gold Spearfish and gutted it, then used the crane to check its weight.

This one weighed three hundred thirty-seven pounds, a full thirty pounds lighter than the previous one.

No wonder Chu Mingcheng found this spearfish’s belly notably thinner when he caught it, although its length was about the same.

Currently, he couldn’t determine the fat content of the fish or understand the quality of the fish meat, so he couldn’t estimate the value of the two Big-eyed Gold Spearfish.

He guessed it might exceed fifty thousand yuan, but how much more, he didn’t know.

The reason he could estimate the price of yellowfin tuna was that the average purchase price for this type of fish was between thirty and fifty yuan per pound, rarely exceeding fifty, so the difference wouldn’t be significant.

Big-eyed Gold Spearfish might sell for fifty yuan per pound, or even over a hundred, depending largely on the meat quality and freshness, which made it difficult to calculate.

Of course, those were the approximate selling prices when transported to the Modu Tuna Market; the actual market price per unit would be much higher.

“Ha~” Jiang Luoluo, who helped operate the crane to move the spearfish into the cold storage, couldn’t help but yawn after finishing the night’s work.

It was quite a tiring day for her too, between fishing and practicing dance; the two hours of rest in the afternoon hardly restored any of her energy.

This was after her physical condition had improved a lot. Two months ago, after being tormented by Chu Mingcheng at noon, she probably would have needed to sleep the entire afternoon.

“Luoluo, go take a bath and rest, I’ll clean up here,” Chu Mingcheng said, seeing that she was tired.

“Mm~” Jiang Luoluo didn’t insist, nodding and going to take a shower first.

Chu Mingcheng picked up the hose to rinse the blood off the deck, then stowed the fishing rods.

The sea lions also came out at this point.

Fearing they would interfere with the fishing, Jiang Luoluo had locked them in the living room earlier.

After Jiang Luoluo entered, the back door remained open, and the sea lions came over, mainly attracted by the smell of food.

Actually, Chu Mingcheng didn’t mind; he could command the sea lions, and they would obediently listen.

After putting away the fishing rods, Chu Mingcheng scooped up some Spiny Pomfret to feed them.

Then he walked into the cabin, and soon after, all the lights on the Sea God were turned off, leaving only the warning lights flashing in the pitch-dark sea.

…

A new day arrived, marking the third day Chu Mingcheng had been out at sea.

He got up at six in the morning as usual, sticking a piece of bread in his mouth while preparing breakfast.

Last night’s fishing had been quite draining; he was woken up by hunger this morning. Therefore, he couldn’t even wait for breakfast and ate a slice of Western bread first.

Half an hour later, with a full stomach, Chu Mingcheng began to collect the crab traps, and he didn’t wake up Jiang Luoluo, who was still asleep.

She wasn’t here for fishing; primarily, she came because she didn’t want Chu Mingcheng to feel lonely at sea, so she specially came to accompany him.

Since they caught Spiny Armored Shrimp yesterday morning, today he collected the shrimp cages first.

Moving the boat between the locations of the shrimp and crab cages, Chu Mingcheng came to the deck, opened the small gate at the stern letting the sea lions out to forage, and then pulled back the buoy of the shrimp cage, tying the rope to the crane to lift it.

“Came up empty?”

Chu Mingcheng felt a bit frustrated; it seemed his luck wasn’t good today.

If the deep-sea crabs and shrimps were this hard to catch, tonight he would have to change the water layer and catch swimming crabs and prawns, among others.

Then, he also lifted the crab cage with little hope.

Unexpectedly, unlike yesterday, today turned out sunny in the west as there were three crabs he was familiar with in the crab cage.

This delighted Chu Mingcheng, as they caught Large Spider Crabs.

He had encountered this type of crab while collecting species in Australia during a diving trip.

Back then, he had seen hundreds of Large Spider Crabs clustering densely, making him drool with desire.

The density was almost comparable to that of Emperor Crabs, and these Large Spider Crabs were not small, with a shell width that could reach up to sixteen centimeters, nearly as large as ordinary Emperor Crabs.

Their leg span could reach up to seventy centimeters, with very long pincers.

Ordinary crabs, once their pincers are torn off, usually have only one joint, while the Large Spider Crabs have as many as three, and also have a high meat yield.

Chu Mingcheng had tasted one back then; the meat was sweet and very delicious.

If he hadn’t been planning to return, he might have focused on harvesting this type of crab.

Now, unexpectedly, there were such creatures near Treasure Island; he didn’t know if it was a coincidence.

Chu Mingcheng immediately sped up collecting the crab cages, wanting to know if there were many Large Spider Crabs in this sea area.

The shrimp cages predictably came up empty, but from the ten crab cages, he caught thirteen Large Spider Crabs with shells over twelve centimeters.

These numbers couldn’t compare at all to what he had seen in Australia.

There, they were overrun, with each crab group having at least a hundred crabs.

One trap might catch dozens, which made him somewhat regretful.
