Their bodies are long and narrow, about fifty or sixty centimeters from head to tail, and their bodies are grey-brown with horizontal stripes and light spots.
In this group, everyone looks about the same size, and they are swimming slowly and escaping in all directions.
Dog sharks mainly inhabit coastal coral reef areas, often in intertidal zones. They are small to medium-sized benthic sharks and are nocturnal. They like to hunt at night and move slowly.
No wonder he just kept stirring around, the water was muddy for him, and he didn't even see these dog sharks.
Watching them escaping everywhere, he didn't care that there was still a lot of water in the puddle and didn't take off his rain boots. He just stepped in and instantly the water was up to his knees.
These dog sharks move really slowly. From the moment he saw them scurrying around, he was pleasantly surprised when they slowly climbed down from the reef. They were still wagging their fish tails underwater and had not yet found the next rock to rest on.
, clearly visible in the turbid muddy water.
Ye Yaodong took the hand-made net towards the two nets that were advancing and retreating at the same time, and caught two of them at once. He grinned with joy.
"Kill two birds with one stone!"
He shook the hand net and estimated based on the weight in his hand that these two pieces were heavy, weighing about five kilograms.
The bones in the dog shark's body are all cartilage. Although it looks long and narrow, they are all edible, and the taste is not comparable to that of sharks. Of course, the price is not comparable to sharks.
He estimated that one kilogram could be sold for 30 to 40 cents, and the retail price could be 50 to 60 cents.
There were many fish scurrying around under the water. He quickly walked towards the place where the buckets were placed, took out two of the hand nets and put them into the bucket, and then he couldn't wait to continue fishing.
After catching a total of 5 fish three times in a row, he could no longer see the dog sharks, even though there were still a lot of them at the beginning.
He was sure that there were about a dozen of them he had seen before, and there should be some in this puddle, but they were just hiding.
Anyway, he was already in the water, and his lower body was already wet. He didn't have to climb on the rocks to crawl around to fish. It was more convenient to stand directly in the water. When he saw some rocks, he could also move them a few times.
Some shrimps and crabs were frightened while hiding under rocks, so they jumped out just in time to catch him.
Resources were really abundant in the 1980s. He had seen some videos of puddle pumping before, and the products in them were only three or two kittens, and they were all fake.
And now he casually breaks open a big stone, and there are a lot of small shrimps and crabs emerging, but they are just a little smaller. He doesn't want them, so he picks them up and puts them into the water. When the tide comes in, they can eat them again.
Return to the sea.
It's not just in the sea, it's the same in the river. If you break open any stone in the river these days, there will be some small river shrimps and crabs underneath. It will be difficult to see them in the future.
Just as he was releasing the shrimps and crabs in the net, he saw a dog shark suddenly jump out from under a big rock in front of him. He happily took two steps forward.
"It takes no effort to get it, and you can catch one."
He was muttering in his mouth, and quickly stretched out the hand-made net in his hand, just in time to get it stuck on the side of the stone and put the net in.
But when he lifted the hand net to catch the dog shark, he saw more than one fish inside, and there was also a big fish with spots!!?
"Fuck! Tiger Spot is here!"
"Those who ride on horses really can't find anything without wearing iron shoes. It takes no effort to get here. I fished everywhere. After searching everywhere for so long, I ended up here."
"You can find it just by fishing, but you can't find it when you look everywhere. It's really a shame..."
Ye Yaodong looked at the two fish in the net with great joy.
Groupers are aggressive and have a strong sense of territory. Generally, they can only have one fish in a place. They will never tolerate other fish staying in their territory. If they are found, they will drive them away and attack them fiercely.
He thought that the dog shark must have invaded its territory just now, so it attacked and drove the other person away, and then the dog shark ran out again and he saw it.
As a result, he unexpectedly caught both fish in one catch, making him an oriole for a time.
Tiger grouper is the most common grouper, and it is also the cheaper species among groupers.
However, it is cheaper than grouper. Compared with some ordinary fish, it is more than the upper and lower than the lower. Moreover, this fish weighs a little more than two kilograms.
Ye Yaodong happily grabbed the tiger stripe and put it into the bucket, but the guy actually splashed water on his face.
However, he was happy.
He also put another dog shark into the bucket, and the water in the bucket was already seventy-eight percent full.
He looked at the puddle again and saw that the water at the edge had stopped flowing. It was probably about that. Unless he had a water pump, he would have to hold the bucket himself and scoop out the water one by one.
He's not stupid, so he won't do stupid things.
After thinking about it, the fish in the puddle couldn't escape anyway, so he simply took the bucket of fish back first, brought an empty bucket over, and then continued fishing for dog sharks.
I only caught eight, and there are definitely more than a dozen dog sharks among them, but those that can be sold for more than ten yuan must be caught.
Lin Xiuqing had been working hard to fish in her little pit just now, and the harvest was very good. When she saw Ye Yaodong coming back with a bucket, she excitedly waved to him and shouted: "A Dong, I caught a grouper."
Fish, come and see which species it is?"
"Oh? You also caught a grouper? Let me see? Is it a tiger grouper?"
"It's not tiger spots. I recognize tiger spots. Take a look." Lin Xiuqing's face turned red with excitement, looming under the silk scarf.
Ye Yaodong climbed up the reef and jumped next to her, "Hey, you caught a lot, didn't you?"
"Oh, it's a sesame spot. This one is more expensive, twice as expensive as the tiger spot I just caught..."
"Let me see what else there is... a yellow wing, a black seal, and quite a few stone crabs... your harvest is good..."
Lin Xiuqing smiled and narrowed her eyes, feeling a little proud, "You just said that the pit was too small, but you see there is quite a lot."
Ye Yaodong was also very happy, "My delivery is also very good. I just caught eight dog sharks. There are still more in the puddle, but the bucket can't fit. Come here and change the bucket first."
"Really, you should be able to sell it for a lot of money."
"Well, you can sell it for more than ten yuan. A fisherman can never fly in the air force, and a seaman can never fly in the air force."
"What are you talking about?" Lin Xiuqing looked at him with a smile, "She talks about some weird things all day long."
"Hehe, I only know a little bit about everything, but it's enough for me."
Strangely, Lin Xiuqing shook her head and ignored him, wanting to see if she could get some more.
"Be careful not to fall, otherwise it's easy to catch a cold in the cold weather. I almost fell just now, but luckily I managed to hold on."
"I know, if I fish a few more times and there's nothing left, I'll stop fishing. It's probably gone."
"Well, just dig on the rocks."
After speaking, Ye Yaodong took another empty bucket and continued to fish out of the big puddle.
Don’t be too excited about the feeling of catching fish one after another. This is the charm of fishing in the sea.
While fishing, he lowered his head and picked up a few oyster snails adsorbed on the rocks, and also dug up a few large oysters.
A bowl of porridge in the morning was already empty after just two peeings, which was just in time to replenish my physical strength.
I swallowed two of them when they were freshly opened. They were absolutely original, except for the mustard, but the fresh taste was still very good. It was different from the minced garlic flavor, and each had its own merits.
However, only a small number of people on the seaside eat raw oysters like this, and most people only eat raw shrimps, pippi shrimps, or small tubes.
It was a sunny day in November, but the warmth of the sun could not match the cold wind on the island, blowing in my ears.
Fortunately, he was wrapped in a large cotton-padded jacket, but his feet were extremely cold after being in the water for a long time. Although the water in the puddle had almost flowed away, it was still full to a little below his knees, and the rain boots were still full.
Ye Yaodong picked up a dog shark and put it in the bucket, and counted it. There were already five in it, plus the eight he caught earlier, there were 13 in total. He felt that he should have caught almost all of them, so that nothing would slip through the net.
Most of the people who jumped out from under the big rock before are probably here.
Even the flower eel caught another one, but this one was too small and thin, so he put it back into the water again.
Keep the big and the small for sustainable development.
If this kind of eel is small, it only has spines and bones and no meat. If you cook it back, it will be a waste of firewood and a waste of seasonings such as ginger and garlic. It is not easy for him to carry water and chop firewood every two days.
Ye Yaodong stretched his body and felt that he had probably moved all the movable stones inside. It didn't matter the small fish, but the big fish would definitely not be missed. They should have caught almost all the stones and they could leave the puddle.
Sitting on the rock, he poured out the seawater filled with rain boots, took off his socks and let his feet dry.
He had been soaking intermittently for an hour or two, and he had endured it for an hour or two. The soles of his feet were already wrinkled by the sea water.
He casually rubbed his feet on his pants, "Oh~ no profession is easy, being a fisherman is difficult~"
"I will retire and enjoy happiness when I am 40 years old. When the time comes, I can go to sea if I want to, stay at home if I want to, and go out to play if I want to."
"Hey, the ideal is full and the reality is very realistic. I am only 26 years old. You are a young man~ You still have to work..."
Ye Yaodong sat there and rested for a while. After muttering a few words, he threw the tools into the sack and put it under his arm. He held his rain boots in one hand and a bucket in the other, ready to dig out some more razor clams with his bare feet.
No matter if there is a puddle next to him? Anyway, he has fished enough today and is tired.
If you don’t see it, if you don’t think about it, you don’t have it. If you see it, you have to work for a long time. If you don’t see it, you won’t be reconciled.
The beach here is not polluted, and there are no human traces. The sand under your feet has been exposed to the sun for a long time and is semi-dry. It feels particularly comfortable and soft when you step on it, and it is also warm and feels good under your feet.
