Fisherwoman: After my divorce, I became rich by fishing at sea

Fu Wan picked up the telescope and looked in the direction of the water column. Any creature that could spray such a large water column into the sea must be quite large.

Sure enough, the next second, a huge whale baleen emerged from the water. Fu Wan thought it was a humpback whale or a sperm whale, but when she looked closely, she found that it was a blue whale she had never seen before.

"Oh my god, this blue whale is huge!"

It is no exaggeration to say that the distance from the whale's tail to the location where the water column appears is at least thirty meters!

This means that it was an adult blue whale.

"Awan, should we catch up too?"

Fu Liang ran over from the wheelhouse, and Fu Wan looked at the blue whale in the distance again. At this time, they were still five or six hundred meters away from the blue whale.

There are many seabirds around the blue whale, which means that this blue whale is not just playing above the water, but is hunting.

"Let's follow it. The blue whale is docile and probably won't attack the ship. But don't get too close. We'll see if we can pick up any leftovers from behind the blue whale."

After saying that, Fu Wan handed the telescope to Fang Min and quickly returned to the rest cabin to change clothes.

She changed into clean clothes and did not forget to observe the blue whale in the distance through the window of the rest cabin.

At this time, the blue whale opened its mouth wide and then slowly closed it.

The sea water around its mouth had turned rusty red. As its mouth opened, the rust-like red quickly dispersed and then gathered together again.

That's a swarm of krill!

As the favorite food of blue whales, krill is also loved by humans.

Krill is a widely distributed and abundant invertebrate. It is a favorite of whales, who like to appear in groups. Whales love to encounter krill schools and eat several tons of them at a time.

Krill are high in protein and are small and transparent. A typical krill is about two centimeters long, with the longest no longer than five centimeters.

Krill swarms appear rusty red during the day and glow phosphorescently at night.

Krill Network pictures, infringement deleted. It has the title of maritime granary.

Krill is also the shrimp with the highest annual production in the ocean. Because it is rich in nutrients, people often purchase krill to make dried shrimp or shrimp paste.

Later, with the development of technology, krill was produced into krill oil. Krill oil has higher nutritional value than fish oil and is more suitable for human consumption.

Fu Wan had never seen krill oil in her previous life. If she hadn't seen the large area of ​​rust-red not far away, she wouldn't have believed that there were so many krill in this sea area.

Whales are not the only ones who like to eat krill. With such a large school of krill, there must be a lot of fish that want to get a free meal.

Fu Wan was thinking that the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, and she wanted to try her luck without disturbing the blue whale's feeding.

The blue whale ate krill on the sea surface for more than half an hour before diving to the bottom of the sea and slowly disappearing. As for the group of killer whales, they ran away the moment they discovered the appearance of the blue whale.

There is no way. The relationship between killer whales and blue whales is the same as that between humpback whales. They also have a deep blood feud.

After all, killer whales are a group of street urchins who like to provoke all creatures except humans and their own cubs.

They also did not let go of the blue whale cubs. Although Fu Wan had not seen it with her own eyes, seeing how fast the killer whales ran, she was afraid that there was a lot of hatred between the two sides.

Although killer whales are fast and smart, they may not be able to get away with it when facing the world's largest animal, the blue whale.

Blue whales are not only large in size and fast in speed, but they also have gentle personalities, but that doesn't mean they have no temper.

Seeing the blue whale leave, Fu Wan had already returned to the wheelhouse.

Seeing that the rust color had not disappeared in the distance, she hurriedly asked Fu Ming to adjust the direction and drive towards the krill school that had not yet dispersed.

At this moment, the seabirds in the sky rushed to the sea surface. Many krill still exposed on the water surface, or small fish that were preying on krill, could not escape the sharp beaks of the seabirds.

Fu Ming looked at the countless krill on the sea and became extremely anxious.

There are so many krill on the sea surface, who knows if there are any underwater?

Trawling operations are all done on the seabed, so can't we just watch the shrimps on the sea surface?

Thinking of this, Fu Ming turned around and gave up the steering position.

"Liangzi, you drive the boat. I'll go to the back and get the hand net to take a look!"

Fu Liang naturally took over the rudder from Fu Ming without hesitation, and Fu Wan also rang the ship's bell at this time.

Everyone came out of the rest cabin. Fu Xiaochuan, Fu Erlu and others looked at the rusty color on the sea and thought they were still asleep.

"What the hell is this?"

"Krill, stop standing there and use the dip net!"

Fu Ming shouted, and Fu Wan had already started catching shrimps with a hand net.

Fortunately, there are several hand-scooped nets with smaller meshes that can be used to catch krill.

Seeing the full net of shrimps that Fu Wan caught, everyone became much more sober.

Now, those who used hand nets and those who used cast nets all started to work.

Krill are not stupid either, they were driven here by blue whales.

As soon as the blue whale left, the krill school dispersed in just half an hour.

However, in just half an hour, Fu Wan and her friends had a good harvest, catching ten baskets of krill.

This thing doesn't cost much to sell directly, so Fu Wan plans to send it to a cannery and let Qian Zhiming try to extract krill oil and make krill paste.

After picking the seaweed out of the krill, it's almost time to trawle.

Chen Balian got up to drive the boat, while Fu Liang returned to the deck and started operating the net-lifting machine.

Boss Fu took a nap for an hour, but now he couldn't fall asleep, so he went to the deck to pull up the net.

This net was the largest one today, and the net bag was about to burst. Seeing this, Boss Fu and Fu Wan hurried over to pull the hemp rope open.

As soon as the rope was untied, the fish fell down again.

Everyone staring at the net felt their eyes blur and the deck was covered with red.

"What the hell is this? Why are there so many shrimps I've never seen before?"

Fu Ming was shocked, but Fu Wan and Boss Fu all smiled brightly.

"Haha, peony shrimp! Goddess Mazu bless you, so many peony shrimp!"

"Oh my, this is really a fortune!"

Fu Ming, Ye Lin and others were completely confused. They were only concerned about one issue at this moment.

“Are these shrimp worth money?”

"Haha, it's valuable! It's really valuable!"

Boss Fu smiled brightly and slapped Fu Ming on the back happily.

"Not only is it valuable, but I heard it tastes amazing too. Haha, this is totally worth it!"

After Boss Fu finished speaking, he immediately picked up a prawn the size of a little finger from the ground.

He peeled the shell off the shrimp tail in a few seconds and then stuffed it into his mouth.

"Hmm... sweet, so sweet! It really is the best sashimi!"

Seeing Boss Fu so intoxicated, Fu Ming also picked up the prawns at his feet, peeled them and put them into his mouth.

Then, his eyes widened and he nodded continuously at Fu Wan and the others.

"It's delicious, so fresh and sweet! Awan, I have to save some for you to take back!"

Fu Wan didn’t like sashimi much before, but seeing them like this, she couldn’t help but peel a shrimp and put it in her mouth.
