Chapter 268 Masu Tuna

In fact, Lu Xiaolu didn't know how long the fishing line was outside, or how far the big fish was from them.

"It's coming soon," he said 10 minutes ago.

Although this big fish is not explosive, its endurance is really strong.

Even though Lu Xiaolu and Xue Li had cooperated so many times, it was not easy to deal with it, and the face under the veil was covered with sweat.

It was the first time for Cheng Min to watch tuna fishing up close, and it was his good sister Shirley who was fishing. The shock in his heart was beyond words.

She doesn't know much about fishing, but she only knows that it is not easy for Shirley to have what she is now, with her thin and thin body, she has been dragged out of the air several times and still won't let go.

"Hurry up! Come on!" Shirley also shouted, right to cheer herself up.

With a "crash", the waves on the distant sea surged, and a big guy surfaced.

Lu Xiaolu picked up the binoculars and looked, pleasantly surprised: "It's tuna!"

The situation on the bottom of the sea is unpredictable, even if it is him, he can't guarantee that he catches tuna every time.

Before the fish came up, I was a little scared.

"Yes! Come on!"

Under the veil, Shirley showed a bright smile. Such a long time of hard work was finally not in vain.

"Wang Wang!"

Soon, the tuna was pulled to the side of the boat, Lu Xiaolu smiled.

"It's bluefin tuna."

After speaking, he picked up the fishing gun and pierced it into its eye socket without hesitation.

With a sound of "噗嗤", the terrified Xiao Hei screamed, and hid behind Cheng Min, with his tail between his legs, fighting with each other.

On the other hand, Cheng Min, as expected of Shirley's good sister, was the same as her first reaction, not only not afraid, but nervous and exciting.

After the tuna was pulled up with a crane, Lu Xiaolu was bleeding it, and Xue Li walked around it twice.

"Hey, it doesn't seem to be bluefin tuna, but Masu tuna."

Lu Xiaolu was stunned: "Ah? Isn't this bluefin tuna?"

"No, it's Masu tuna, but it looks more similar, so this guy is also called southern bluefin."

"Then is this worth the money?" Lu Xiaolu still cared about this question.

"Well, it's worth it. It's more expensive than bluefin tuna because it's rarer and usually lives in the cold deep sea."

Hearing that it is more precious than bluefin tuna, Lu Xiaolu was very happy.

"That's fine, that's fine."

"but."

Xue Li suddenly changed the topic: "It's best not to make it public when selling fish this time, otherwise there will be trouble."

Lu Xiaolu was dumbfounded: "What's the situation? Did it break the law?"

If it is to protect the fish species, it will be troublesome, and it will be against the law to drag it onto the boat, just like the dragon pump grouper before.

Lu Xiaolu trembled, looked left and right, thinking whether to throw the fish back into the sea again, and then hurriedly sailed away.

Cheng Min also had a nervous expression on her face. She, a good sister, won't be caught because of a fish.

Xiao Hei barked twice at the tuna that was hung up, and walked forward cautiously, licking the blood of the fish on the deck.

"No, I won't let you stab it if it breaks the law." Shirley comforted.

Both Lu Xiaolu and Cheng Min breathed a sigh of relief.

"If you don't break the law, what are you afraid of?"

"It's not illegal, but have you heard of the Sea Shepherd Association?"

Lu Xiaolu said that he had heard of it, but he didn't know the specific situation.

Cheng Min raised his hand: "I know this, they are the ones who stopped the Japanese whaling ships from hunting whales."

Shirley nodded: "That's right."

Speaking of this, Lu Xiaolu suddenly realized that he knew this.

This is a non-profit foundation established in 1977, dedicated to the protection of sharks, whales, sea lions, seals and other wild marine animals.

You may not know about this association, but if you talk about people who often destroy Japanese whaling ships, many people have seen it on the news.

Unlike those organizations that rely on publicity speeches to protect wildlife, this association is more inclined to action.

For example, throwing stink bombs on whaling ships in operation, such as scuttling commercial fishing boats parked in the port.

They clashed with whalers more than once, drove two or three small boats, and left after finishing the damage.

Although the whaling ship was big and there were many people, they did not dare to do anything, because the group of people were carrying cameras and could only drive them away with water guns.

The original intention of the Conservation Association is good, but the problem is that some people's mentality changes when they see others dare not fight back.

Hundreds of ghosts travel at night, and some people are happier than ghosts.

In the name of protecting animals, violence is abused.

Finally, the Icelandic ship was sunk by them again, and the Conservator Society was stripped of its non-ZF observer status in the "International Whaling Commission".

It's been a long time since these things happened, but the organization still exists, and the foundation is bigger, with members all over the world.

Cheng Min frowned and said, "Masu tuna is not a protected animal, so they can't care about it."

"Masu tuna is indeed not a protected animal. It is allowed to be traded, but the number is rare and even close to endangered. If they know about it, the consequences will be hard to say."

Lu Xiaolu nodded approvingly, just like the "dog lovers" in China who are full and have nothing to do, insisting on not allowing others to eat dog meat.

He also gathered many times to intercept the dog-collecting vehicles, beat up the driver, and released all the 10,000+ dogs collected by others.

What is the concept of dozens or hundreds of stray dogs scurrying out?No one can find compensation for being bitten.

He even threatened to smash other people's dog meat shops.

Relying on this level of identity and public opinion, beating people and destroying other people's property is what these grandsons love to do most.

The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, Lu Xiaolu had to guard against it.

"Shirley, you're right, this time I'm going to keep a low profile."

He didn't want to wake up and find the boat scuttled.

"Okay, since you don't break the law, let's go and carry it in." Lu Xiaolu greeted.

"okay."

Shirley pushed the cart over, and Xiao Hei was still licking blood, but Cheng Min pulled the dog leash aside.

This Masu tuna weighs about 150 kilograms. Shirley estimated the price for it at 5000 yuan.

Lu Xiaolu was very surprised: "Can it be sold so expensive?"

This fish is not a top-quality meat, it is very ordinary, neither fat nor thin, in the shape of a torpedo.

Last time, the two fat bluefin tunas cost just over 2 yuan each.

"This is my estimate. I don't know the exact amount."

Cheng Min counted with his fingers, and exclaimed: "In this case, you have earned more than 1 yuan?"

"How come, the cost is deducted. Fuel, bait, and ice are all very expensive, okay?"

"Oh oh."

Cheng Min's mathematics is obviously not as good as her Chinese, and she doesn't understand how much these costs are.

After catching one fish, Xue Li and Lu Xiaolu went back to the kitchen to recharge their energy, eat something and drink some water.

"I'm going to smoke a cigarette.
