The soldiers transformed the drone here, and Qin Shiou took the fishermen to prepare for work.

The plan for the year is spring. Raising fish and fish farms is the same as farming and farming. Spring is the golden season, and many fish species are sent to the fishing grounds and started to breed.

However, the fishery resources of Daqin Fishery are already abundant enough, and there is no need to manually release fish fry. What we need to do is put shell seedlings and cultivate shellfish.

There are some shellfish in the fishing ground, including scallops, etc., but the quantity is not enough and the output cannot keep up with market demand. Qin Shiou must expand the breeding scale. He does not have to buy shellfish from outside. The fishing ground started to breed some shellfish last year, and they all grew into strong mother shellfish.

The shellfish that is cultivated in fishery is called Atlantic Bay scallops. It has a high processing and utilization rate and is almost full of treasures.

The closed shell muscles of bay scallops can be processed into frozen fresh columns, canned food, and coat membranes can be processed into shell edges, which can be eaten or used as fresh bait for fish and shrimp. The two shells can be used as attachment stems for shellfish seedlings, and are also indispensable raw materials for shellfish carving industry. They are the first choice for scallops to be cultivated in various countries along the Atlantic coast.

Moreover, although bay scallops belong to a warm water type, they have a wide temperature range, with a lower temperature tolerance limit of -1c and an upper limit of 34c.5c, and will stop growing. Even fishing grounds in the North Atlantic Ocean can be cultivated.

The role of the Harvest Name began to show. In the morning, Qin Shiou brought five veterans including Shake and Bull, and five newcomers, Geng Junjie, and more than ten people were preparing to go out to sea.

On the beach, the sea monsters were busy with the remaining fishermen, and the two sides had the same purpose, which was to catch the sea shells raised last year.

There are two methods for fishing shellfish: one is manual fishing, and the other is mechanical fishing. Mechanical fishing is very simple. Put the shellfish picker into the seabed, let it work and then collect shellfish.

The shellfish used in Daqin Fishery is a sp-12 shellfish harvester produced by Siemens Fisheries. It is very suitable for fishing Atlantic Bay scallops. It can catch 500-800 kilograms per hour. The damage rate does not exceed 3-5%.

In addition, there is also the method of propeller trawling operation, because many scallops are hidden in the mud and sand, and the propeller is used to stir the mud and sand, and there are fishing nets around it. At the bottom of the sea, shellfish float together with the mud and sand, and will eventually fall into these fishing nets.

What’s interesting is artificial fishing. It has four methods, so the sea monster explains to the remaining five soldiers and the new fisherman.

Qin Shiou originally wanted to go on a boat to go out to sea. But the sea monster said that they were not enough people, so he stayed with two veteran fishermen and helped to pick the shells manually.

Artificial shellfish and mechanical shellfish have specific places to use. Beaches without water after low tide are suitable for artificial shellfish, so sea monsters need so many people.

Spring is the season when sea water changes the most violently. After the tide recedes from the beach in the morning, the exposed seabed, kelp, seaweed, and grass are exposed, emitting a green luster under the sunlight. It looks even more spring than on land.

Looking at the large undersea ranch, the sea monster sighed and said, "There are really advantages and disadvantages. With these things being concealed, it will be much more difficult to collect the mother shells."

Bay scallops are hermaphrodites. They will complete the task of reproduction on their own, so all scallops collected can be used as mother scallops. However, scallops are filter feeding animals and have the ability to select the size of food, but have no ability to select the species.

Their main food is organic debris, miniature particles suspended in seawater and plankton, such as diatoms, diflagellate algae, copepods, etc.; followed by spores, bacteria, etc. of algae.

Because they have poor exercise ability, they will slowly move closer to an environment that is as consistent as the type of food. Where does the environment have the most food? That is in the seabed ranch.

Therefore, most scallops are concentrated in or near seaweed. In this way, if you want to dig scallops, you have to pass through seaweed, etc., which increases the workload.

In addition, among the four types of scallops manually collected, the first and easiest one is to use your feet to constantly step on the beach surface, use the feeling of the soles of your feet to find the scallops and dig it out.

With seaweed and aquatic plants, there is inevitably error in the soles of people's feet. Some scallops that are hidden deeper or smaller can't be noticed.

The senior fishermen are not bad, they are very capable and have enough experience, and after walking carefully, they can feel the existence of scallops. The novices are not good. They follow the old fishermen while stepping back, and except for the particularly conspicuous ones, they can hardly notice them.

However, the soldiers are also very hardworking. They took off their shoes and walked barefoot on the beach one after another. This way they felt more sensitive and it would be less likely to miss the scallops.

Qin Shiou couldn't notice the scallops, after all, there was no water here, and the consciousness of the sea god could not play a role, so he took off his shoes and felt so fucking cold. He decisively put on the shoes again, so he would not suffer this crime.

The sea monster laughed and said, "Walking through this undersea pasture, there is no water grass in front of us. We can use other methods to collect scallops, which is simple."

When you arrive at a place without seaweed, the sea monster and others bring the prepared iron planer and iron rake over, insert it into the beach surface about twenty centimeters deep, pull the iron rake and tilt it backwards, so that it will turn it out after hitting the scallops.

A group of fishermen shouted horns and dragged the long iron rakes, as if they were plowing the ground, and scallops kept rolling out. Qin Shiou held a long clip in his hand, and he could pick up a scallop with just a pinch of his handle.

This work is very tiring. After all, it is rare for a fierce man to pull up the weeping willows like Lu Zhishen. The fishermen were sweating profusely after working for a while, and two groups of people came to do it in exchange.

It depends on Evosen. He can use four or five people alone. After several groups of people, he didn't go down to rest. His pocket was filled with small cakes, cookies, and other things, and he dragged them into his mouth.

Qin Shiou was stunned for a while and asked, "If we use the ATV to pull the plow, what do you think?"

The sea monster shook his head and said, "That won't work. The power of the ATV is uneven. Moreover, there may be mud pits on the beach. If the ATV wheels fall, it will be troublesome."

The fishermen took turns to pull the plow, and the speed was very fast. Qin Shiou quickly led his people to a pile of scallops.

There are two conventional methods for collecting shellfish. One is to use their pile-treating habits and drill wooden piles at any distance in the cultivation area. After a certain period of time, these scallops will be concentrated within about one meter around the wooden piles, and then you can collect them around the wooden piles.

But this is suitable for general and small-scale farming. If the scale is too large, there will be too many wooden stakes that will cause fishing to be cut into the entire fishing ground, so you will not be able to get out of the net when fishing.

There has never been pile driving in the fishing ground, so this method is not useful.

The last method is to fish for scallops, which is suitable for entertainment and small batch fishing. (To be continued.)
