creaking
The winches on the deck turned, and the trawls began to be dragged onto the deck.
Kacha
The trawler opened.
The seafood in the net fell onto the deck.
Everyone looked at the seafood on the deck and saw many common seafood, such as abalone, sea urchin, oyster, grouper, green crab, squid, prawn, eel, turbot, sea blackfish, sea eel, and so on.
However, what attracted Su Zheng and Su Hongli's attention the most was a huge bluefin tuna among the seafood.
Seeing these bluefin tunas, Xu Hai exclaimed," Is this a bluefin tuna?"
"I didn't expect to catch bluefin tuna here!”
He was stunned!
The crew members were stunned when they saw the huge bluefin tuna weighing hundreds of kilograms on the deck.
Su Zheng and Su Hongli were also stunned.
" Brother, do you see the bluefin tuna?" Su Hongli said excitedly." It's a huge bluefin tuna!"”
There was only one bluefin tuna on the deck.
It should weigh at least 100 pounds.
Generally speaking, Atlantic bluefin tuna could reach a length of three meters and weigh about 400 kilograms.
Generally, tuna fishing boats would catch about 150 kilograms, and more than 200 kilograms would be considered a bumper harvest.
The largest recorded individual was captured in Nova Scotia, Canada, weighing 679 kilograms.
The entire bluefin tuna was spindle-shaped, thick, and almost oval in cross-section.
The mouth is conical, the mouth is large, and the upper jaw extends backward to the lower part of the lower edge of the eye. The tail handle was thin, with one large and two small ridges on each side. Its body is covered with small round scales, and the scales on its chest are extremely large, forming a breastplate. Its back is green-black, its abdomen is silver-white, and its tail is black.
The first back fin is yellow or blue, the second back fin is reddish-brown, and the anals and fins are dark yellow with black edges, so it is called bluefin tuna.
It was also Su Zheng's first time seeing a live bluefin tuna. He said excitedly,"That's right, this is the bluefin tuna.”
"This bluefin tuna is more than two meters long. It's probably a few hundred or even a thousand pounds, right? What a great harvest!"
Atlantic bluefin tuna was the largest species in the tuna family. Its meat was delicate, rich in oil, light red in color, and had an excellent taste. It was also very expensive. Its catch was less than 1% of the total global tuna catch, and it was mainly used to make high-grade sashimi.
Because Atlantic bluefin tuna was too expensive, they were usually sold in auctions.
According to previous records, a 278-kilogram king of tuna, the bluefin tuna, was sold at a sky-high price of 330 million yen at the tuna auction in the Toyosu market.
330 million yen was equivalent to 21 million yuan.
This price was quite terrifying.
Although there was some hype involved, it also meant that the price of bluefin tuna was very high.
In the eyes of many experts, it could be said to be the " Hermes " of tuna, the top food.
The bluefin tuna was known as the emperor, which meant that its status was very noble.
" Brother, we're rich!" Su Hongli said excitedly." This bluefin tuna alone is worth more than a million!"”
Bluefin tuna could not be farmed artificially, and its production was very low. Naturally, its price was high.
In addition, the fatty acid in the bluefin tuna's body was basically saturated fatty acid. It was rich in a variety of mineral elements, as well as some trace elements, such as DHA, EPA, Taurine, and so on. It had a high nutritional value.
Therefore, in the circle of wealthy people, many rich people were willing to spend a lot of money to buy it to maintain their health.
Su Zheng: " Yeah, this bluefin tuna is conservatively estimated to be around 800 pounds. It's not the largest bluefin tuna in the world, but it must be worth a lot.”
Without the help of the system, it was the first time he caught such a big bluefin tuna. Su Zheng was very surprised and surprised.
"Uncle Hai, quickly weigh this bluefin tuna and see how heavy it is."”
"Alright!"
Xu Hai and the crew began to process the bluefin tuna and weigh it…
