As fishing ships go to the port one after another, the sea fishing operation this spring is coming to an end. The fishing moratorium began on May 1, and the boat owners drove their boats to sea, hoping to get a shot in the "last moment". On April 29, the reporter saw at the Shazikou pier and Xiaogang pier that the working boats loaded with fresh seafood were docked one after another, and all kinds of seasonal seafood such as shrimp goose , Babian, and starfish were quickly sold out after they got ashore.
Visit 1: Shazikou Wharf
recovered 15,000 kilograms of mackerel
went to sea for two days. At around 4:50 am on April 28, the Lulaoyu 60127 fish harvesting boat where Sun Kefang was located was close to the central fishing port of Shazikou. On this trip, the boat collected a total of 15,000 kilograms of mackerel and 25,000 kilograms of mackerel , etc., and the purchase volume also set his highest fish harvest record.
In the early morning of April 29, the reporter rushed to the fishing port of Shazikou Center. Many fishmongers were selecting fresh big mackerels. Sun Kefang was busy directing the crew to transport mackerels and mackerels from the cabin.
Sun Kefang seemed very happy. This trip to the sea, they returned home with a lot of loads. "At the most, there were three fish harvesting boats competing for the mackerels on the same operation boat. We took the lead. When the operation boat was still working in the net, we leaned on the boat and collected 9,000 kilograms of mackerels at once. Later, we collected 7 fishing catches from the mackerels in succession." Sun Kefang said that the largest large mackerel collected this time weighed 20 kilograms, and the mackerels were also larger than last year. On that day, the wholesale price of large mackerel was 25 yuan per catty, the middle mackerel was 23 yuan per catty, and the small mackerel was about 20 yuan. The reporter learned from an interview that before May Day in previous years, the wholesale price of mackerel was usually above 30 yuan per catty, and this year it fell below the 30 yuan mark for the first time.
Sun Kefang has been engaged in fishing for 37 years. He has been at Shazikou as the captain of fish harvesting for 11 years. He collected more than 40,000 kilograms of fresh fish in one trip, setting a new record for his fish harvesting in the fishing port in Shazikou Center. In addition to Sun Kefang, there are five crew members on this fish-collecting boat. Sun Kefang said that the cost of going to sea for two or three days is more than 20,000 yuan. However, because this acquisition volume is relatively large, the revenue for ship owners is pretty good. In just two hours, more than 3,000 kilograms of large mackerel were sold on the ship. "The people in Qingdao are more aware of mackerel, and the current price is fair, so we don't have to worry about selling it," said Sun Kefang.
In addition to the highest number of fish in this boat, this is also the last fish in Sun Kefang during the spring fishing season this spring. Sun Kefang said that after the summer fishing ban period begins, he will return to his hometown in Jimo, waiting for the autumn to start catching fish, and then come back to continue to go out to sea to harvest fish.
At the pier of the fishing port in the center of Shazikou, many fishing boats have already arrived and docked, and some fishermen on the shore are busy repairing the fishing nets. The reporter learned from an interview that when you go to sea to harvest fish, the fish harvesting boat must have its own relationship boat, so that you can receive mackerel. Faced with increasingly fierce competition for fish harvesting and increased personnel costs, during this spring's fishing flood season, a considerable number of fish harvesting boats in Shazikou Central Fishing Port did not go out to sea to harvest fish.
reporter learned from the Fisheries Management Center of the Agriculture and Rural Bureau of Laoshan District that with the arrival of the May Day fishing shutdown, fishing boats that go out to harvest fish at the central fishing port will return to the Shazikou Central Fishing Port before May 1. If citizens want to buy fresh mackerel, they can wait for the last fish harvesting boat to dock.
Visit 2: Xiaogang Wharf
fresh goods were sold out as soon as they got ashore
29 At 3 pm on the 229th, the reporter came to Xiaogang Wharf. The operating fishing boats went out to sea at four or five in the morning. After more than 10 hours of navigation and fishing, this point was when the fishing boats concentrated and returned to the port. This batch of fresh seafood also landed ashore at this time. However, since fishing moratorium is about to be approaching, there are not many fishing boats returning to the port that day, but the dock is still crowded, and everyone is waiting for fresh seafood to come ashore. At this time, Ms. Sun had just returned from the sea with her husband and was selling fresh seafood from sea capture. "How much does a pound of shrimp tiger cost?" "How much does an pound of eight belts cost?" As soon as the stall was opened, citizens gathered around to ask for the price. The newly arrived shrimp tiger was swimming vigorously in the water, looking fresh and attractive.Ms. Sun took out a shrimp tiger and showed it to everyone: "50 yuan per pound, most of them are female. Now it is in the breeding period of shrimp tigers. The female shrimp tiger basically has children, which is why it is necessary to stop fishing." "How many of these are there in total? We weigh them all." In an instant, this basket of fresh shrimp tigers was packed with 3 pounds and 7 liang of shrimp tigers by citizens who love to eat shrimp tigers for 175 yuan. Next to it, Ms. Sun also caught a few crabs, the largest of which was more than half a pound, and sold for 200 yuan per pound. "Look at this crab, it's all yellow and full." In addition to these "big goods", Ms. Sun's stall also has small seafood such as conch, starfish, anchovies and . Anchovies only cost 5 yuan per pound, a basket of four pounds and two taels, and can be taken away for 20 yuan. "I came back today and caught more than ten kilograms of goods. Calculate the cost, and basically no profit or loss. It will be the last day tomorrow. I will continue when I come back on September 1st." Ms. Sun said.
"Here I come, I finally came another boat to see what this one has recovered." In the expectant eyes of citizens, a fishing boat sailed into the dock, and the boat was full of fresh noodles fish . I saw this little fish two or three inches long, with a pointed head and tail, and a silver luster on both sides of the body. It felt delicate and smooth when touched, as if it would slip away from the hands in the next second. "Noodle fish, ten yuan and two kilograms." After tying the boat tightly, crew member Lao Jiang began to shout. Lao Jiang told reporters that the boat caught more than 300 kilograms of noodles, which was 10 yuan and 3 kilograms when it was cheaper. Since there were fewer fish on the sea in recent days, the price was a little higher. "Give me two pounds." "I want ten yuan."... Although noodles are not precious fish, the island's urban residents still recognize this kind of fish. After a while, half of the fish on the boat were missing. "The meat of this fish is tender and soft, and there are quite a lot of people eating it. They are usually fried, fried or stewed soup. They are very delicious and use more home-cooked methods. They are not difficult and can easily make a delicious home-cooked dish." Ms. Liu praised two pounds and planned to go home to fry noodles and fish for her family.
Then, the reporter turned around in front of each stall and found that there were basically more than a dozen kinds of seafood in front of each stall, most of which were shrimp goose, eight belts, mackerel, crabs, clams, conchs, oysters, etc. The prices of each company are basically the same, including 50 yuan per pound of shrimp tigers, 25 yuan per pound of swift crabs, 35 yuan per pound of stone crabs, and 25 yuan per pound of conch. As the fishing moratorium is imminent, the supply of fresh fishing goods in Shanghai is small, and the prices have risen slightly recently. After the fishing moratorium, it is difficult to eat these seafood from sea fishing, but some fishermen will go fishing, but the amount is very small, so the seafood collected is much more expensive.
Market trend
Citizens hoarding seasonal seafood
Fishing moratorium is approaching, what is the seafood market trend? The reporter learned from Chengyang Seafood Wholesale Market that recently, seasonal seafood such as mackerel, shrimp tiger, and Badai have been selling well. Because around May Day, this type of seafood is a good time for delicious meat, and many citizens are competing to try it out before the fishing moratorium comes; in addition, some citizens are mentally stocking up and want to buy more frozen storage. Staff from
Wholesale Market said that at present, the types and prices of Shanghai food in the market have not changed much, but after the fishing moratorium period, the quantity and types of seafood will be reduced accordingly. However, citizens don’t have to worry. In recent years, most seafood has been artificially cultivated; in addition, with the decrease of sea fishing, farmed fish will be replaced by them, and ice goods will be launched one after another, becoming the protagonist of the fish market.
Fisheries Department
Multi-party linkage to strictly investigate "stealing fish"
reporters learned from Qingdao Fisheries Department that the fishing moratorium is Bohai and the Yellow Sea waters north of 35 degrees north latitude. Other marine fishing boats except fishing tackle operations, as well as fishing auxiliary boats that serve fishing boats, have entered the fishing fishing moratorium. Since 2017, the start time of the fishing moratorium in the island city has been advanced from June 1 to May 1, and the fishing moratorium period has been extended from 3 months to 4 months. The fishing moratorium this year is the same as last year, from 12:00 on May 1 to 12:00 on September 1. It is understood that during this year's fishing moratorium, the municipal marine and fishery administrative law enforcement agency will work with the coast guard, border defense, public security, urban management bureau, market supervision bureau and other departments to comprehensively enforce the law, adopt the method of "strait blockade and maritime patrol" to strictly investigate the illegal fishing moratorium during the season.
