Golden Fishery

  Qin Shiou originally wanted to continue floating on the sea for a while, but Zach radioed him, saying that someone was looking for him at the fishing ground and asked him to go back.

  The fast cruise boat returned to the dock. Qin Shiou changed clothes on the beach and entered the villa. He saw four or five people sitting in the living room.

  "Excuse me, who are you?" Qin Shiou asked questioningly, he was not familiar with these people.

  A bald middle-aged man stood up and shook hands with him, and introduced himself: “Mr. Qin, hello, hello, we are all fishermen like you, but our fishermen are much smaller than yours.”

  Newfoundland is a large island with a large number of small islands scattered around. Farewell Island is a relatively large one, but there are many other small islands around which are high-quality fishing grounds.

  Qin Shiou hurriedly said that it was a polite remark such as peers and long admiration. The bald middle-aged man introduced a few people. His name is Andrew Tucker. The other four are also fishermen and all his friends.

The owners of the fishery are very direct in talking and doing things. Andrew is not nonsense, and he said straight to the point: "Mr. Qin, we all know you, you are a great fisherman. There is no doubt that you are a rich man, but you and other rich men are not. Similarly, when you buy a fishing ground, you really want to take care of it."

  Others nodded one after another, complimenting Qin Shiou on this point.

  Qin Shiou smiled bitterly, what is there to praise about? Buying a fish farm by yourself is meant to engage in fish farming, otherwise, what kind of fish farm to buy?

  Andrew continued and said that Qin Shiou understood his intention.

  In the past, the purpose of Newfoundland fisheries was to produce catches. At that time, there were few private fisheries because there were some fish in the sea. There is no need to build a fish farm by yourself to breed it.

  In addition, the Canadian government is just like that. When the fishery is very profitable, he firmly controls the resources in his hands. Later, the fishing grounds gradually declined. He began to sell it outside.

  At this time, the fishermen also had ideas about private fisheries. The country’s large fishing grounds can’t count on them, so they can only invest in fisheries and make money by fishing. Such private fishing grounds are called ‘professional fishing grounds’.

  At that time, the fishermen who bought the fishing grounds were mainly wealthy fishermen, but no matter how rich they were, they couldn't afford the bottomless investment of the fishing grounds. Many fishing grounds closed down.

  At this time, the Canadian real estate industry began to heat up. With the process of urbanization and industrial development, urban pollution has become more and more serious. Many wealthy people like beach villas, sea view houses and the like.

  Naturally, at this time the fishing ground was controlled by some real estate agents. Under the guise of building a fishing ground, they bought it and used it for housing development. Those with more money can buy a fishing ground by themselves and build a villa to live in.

  This kind of fishing ground is called ‘vacation fishing ground’.

  There is no doubt that the rich and the developers do not really want to raise the fish when they buy the fish farm, they just want to enjoy the private beach. In this way, they are naturally very concerned about the house and the environment. But there is no investment in fisheries.

  Like the Gatorade fishery, let alone investing in the fishery, it’s good if they don’t damage the fishery.

  Fish fisheries are all connected. It is very common for fish in one fishery to go to the next fishery as a guest. In addition, it is not possible to raise fish on fish feed alone. It is necessary to put seaweed seeds to form a food chain with self-circulation ability.

  The conflict arises. The fishermen’s fisheries have invested a lot of money in farming, and the private fisheries next door have not moved at all. Their fish often go to other homes. How much is this loss?

  More. The healthy growth of fish requires more than food. Disease control is also needed.

  Why do Shaq and the others sail out in batches every day? Because the fish in the fishing grounds are infected and die every day, these fish will be the source of infection if they are not fished out, and the disease will be ruined.

  However, you cannot expect those real estate developers and rich fishermen to take care of these things. They bought the fishing grounds only as holiday villas, and the fish and shrimps in the fishing grounds died out. In this way, the fishery can become a big swimming pool.

  So, the conflict between professional fishing grounds and holiday fishing grounds came.

  These fishermen approached Qin Shiou, and they wanted to lead him to call on the fishery owners to organize a parade so that the Ministry of Fisheries could change the management regulations of the fishery.

  Professional fishermen have also engaged in similar parades before, but they were all gone. This time the Ministry of Fisheries took back the Jiadeli fishing ground and gave them hope.

  Understanding the meaning of the fishermen, Qin Shiou smiled bitterly again. Canada is a capitalist society. Although it screams for democracy, freedom, and equality, in fact, this country belongs to the rich, and the fishermen’s idea is not reliable.

   “As long as the Ministry of Fisheries is willing to introduce some regulations, such as how much money is mandatory to invest in the fishery every year, I bet that it will make the rich and arrogant.” Andrew said.

Another fisherman complained: "It's not just the fishing industry. After the rich men bought the fishing grounds, they broke the atmosphere. Damn, they always say that privacy and private fishing grounds are not to be infringed, but I chase them when I fish. Go with the fish to your fishing grounds, this will not work!"

  This is the biggest conflict between the two sides. The fisherman of the professional fishery allows his neighbors to fish in his own fishery. Fishing is not hunting. Sometimes it is necessary to chase schools of fish far at sea. It is hard to say where the final destination will end.

  Therefore, there is a rule on the sea. Who belongs to a school of fish is not to see where it was picked up in the end, but to where it was found.

   "Yes, they are still so indifferent, and will not lend a hand in the storm!" Someone complained.

  Qin Shiou said: “I think the best way to solve this problem is to talk to the neighbor’s fishery. It is unlikely that the government and the Ministry of Fisheries will regress.”

  Andrew understood his subtext and didn’t say anything, but told him that they would organize a large-scale protest march in the near future.

  Qin Shiou shrugged, and said: "Let me know after confirming the time and place, and I will participate."

  There are some things that you know that there will be no results, but you have to do it.

  Sent away the fishermen, Qin Shiou went to the Internet to search the fishery situation in Newfoundland fishing grounds.

  After more than 20 years of recuperation, the status quo of Newfoundland fisheries is still not optimistic!

  So far, the fishing ban has been implemented for more than 20 years, but the large Newfoundland fishing grounds as a whole are still stagnant, and it is difficult to see large groups of precious fish species such as Atlantic cod and haddock.

  In recent years, the number of large fish schools has not recovered after the fishing ban, but has continued to decrease. It is said that the Department of Fisheries is discussing a strategy to completely shut down the Newfoundland fishing grounds and the coastal fishing grounds of the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

  The unrestrained predatory and indiscriminate fishing that year destroyed not only the fish, but also the ecological environment.

  This has caused many fish species to change their living habits, even genetic mutations, leading to fundamental changes in their growth, maturity and reproduction methods.

  This is the reason why the Newfoundland fisheries cannot restore their fishery resources. The fish in the sea now are no longer the fish of fifty years ago! (To be continued~^~)
