Chapter 983: Cape Cod
Fishing, of course, does not refer to a certain place name or a certain law enforcement method, but it is just that this should be considered an outdoor sports event.
To count it specifically, no one knows how many years have you been fishing, but it has been at least tens of thousands of years. At least before humans have a history of civilization, the two activities of fishing rods and fishing already existed.
The most famous one is that in the late Shang Dynasty, there was a man named Lu Wang who used a straight hook to fish, only fishing for kings, princes, generals and ministers. Later, this man was given the surname Jiang for his merits. This is the famous Jiang Ziya. Yes, Jiang Ziya did not originally have a surname Jiang, but Lu.
Jiang is one of the oldest and most noble surnames in ancient China. Because the origin of this surname is Shennong, the legendary Yan Emperor. Yan Emperor was born in Jiangshui, so he named it Jiang with the water here. Of course, this has nothing to do with Jiang Hai, and according to his knowledge, it has nothing to do with someone who wrote a book. He just watered the word count.
In any case, fishing is a skill passed down by ancient humans. Nowadays, there are many people who have fished. Basically, taking the domestic example as an example, at least one-third of the 1.3 billion people have fished. Children born in the countryside or grew up in the countryside must have fished. People born in the city must have gone to fish ponds, reservoirs, etc., and almost all have fished.
But there are many people who have caught fish, but not many people who really like this industry.
There is one in China that counts one. Among the 100 people, there is one who likes fishing, which is almost the same.
Don’t think that the proportion is very small. You should know that there are 1.3 billion people in China, and one out of 100 people likes to fish. This is 13 million people. The country’s base is too large, and no one can do anything about this.
But if there is one of the 100 people in China who likes fishing, then in the United States, maybe... one thousand? or three thousand? or five thousand? Well, to be honest, no one likes fishing in the United States.
As we all know, although the US government has been committed to changing the eating habits of American people and allowing them to eliminate the overly popular Asian carp in the river, Americans just don’t eat it, and no one can do anything about it.
Because first, the United States was like China, polluted large areas of land and water sources in order to promote development. Now it has developed to a bottle path and cannot develop rapidly. It has begun to control land pollution, air pollution, and water pollution. However, it has only been 20 or 30 years. Although the results are good now, the middle-aged and middle-aged people know how serious the pollution was at that time. Because they were still young at that time, middle-aged and elderly people definitely would not eat fish in the river, which seems to be polluted.
Secondly, Americans don’t like to eat thorny fish, so some people will say that all fish are thorny!
But in fact, just look at American restaurants carefully and you will understand that fish can also be free from thorns...
Because Americans make fish, they are not like China, fried, fried, stewed, and braised.
Americans eat fish, only fish steaks and fish balls. That is to say, a fish, one knife on the left and the right, a good fish, just two slices of meat to eat. The head and tail of the fish are not eaten. Most of the fish fish also have thorns here, but there are many sea fish, such as cod, so they don’t eat river fish.
It is precisely because of these two reasons that Americans do not eat river fish. If someone beats river fish into fish balls, they eat it, but they are worried that the fish meat is not clean, whether the fish balls are added with preservatives, how long it will be stored... So in order to avoid these troubles, they decided that it would be better not to eat river fish.
There is no market without need, because no one eats river fish at all. So even if someone catches river fish, it is just for the sake of playing. After catching fish, they will throw them directly into the garbage dump. However, after playing for a long time, it is really meaningless. They still have to work, so almost few people go fishing by the river in the United States.
Just like hunting in the United States, you also need a license to fish, otherwise you will be caught and you will have to be in prison.
It is not an exaggeration to describe these two attacks as a clamping attack.
There are a lot of fishing at the beach, and they also eat the fish they catch, but how many people live by the beach?
The most important thing is that Americans have a lot of income, and you also know that the price of sea fish is not a very high price in the United States. In this case, how many people will fish?
There is a saying in the NBA that if someone does not enter the playoffs or is eliminated in the playoffs, it is called going fishing, because in their opinion, fishing is equivalent to going on vacation, which means.
There is only one type of person who really can fish hard in the United States. This kind of person is called the ocean hunter by Edward Anderson.
However, in Jiang Hai and the others, they are fishermen, but this kind of fishermen is different from ordinary fishermen. Ordinary fishermen buy a boat, near or far, near home or in the ocean, pull the net and run around, and then come back and sell it. This is a traditional fishermen.
These marine hunters are specializing in fishing, and they are staring at the precious fish.
For example, the legendary bluefin tuna, of course, yellowfin, Masu, big eyes, etc., they also come without any hesitation.
In every country, there are a number of tuna opening hours. For example, Canada, from August to October every year, the United States and Canada have always worn pairs of pants, so the time is similar. Although there is no clear regulation on the time for tuna fishing in China, there is a sea ban every year. From spring to autumn, this is the time for fishing in the sea to rest and recuperate. Naturally, fishing is not allowed, but for some small countries, this is gone.
For example, island countries, some Southeast Asian countries can catch tunas all year round. As long as they are found in the ocean, they can be caught. Mexico, the closest to the United States, can also catch tunas from January to November. The only time to really let them rest and recuperate is December every year.
So many marine hunters are floating around during the year. In the past few months, they go to the next country in the next few months. For them, they can only catch tuna and go anywhere.
And their income is much more than ordinary fishermen. You think, if one day you have luck and catch a bluefin tuna, it doesn’t have to be too big, more than 200 kilograms, the bluefin tuna is different, the price is different, if you have to say the average price, it is about 300 US dollars per kilogram, of course, this refers to the price in the United States. If you go to the country and island countries, the price will be flying...
The best meat in the gill of a top tuna in China is 3800 soft girl coins, 20 taels per kilogram, 76,000 soft girl coins per kilogram, and a kilogram of soft girl coins in the island country. It is possible that a tuna is sold for millions of soft girl coins, or even tens of millions of millions, provided that you are big enough.
But basically, it is no problem to grab a blue fin and sell a 50,000-USD or 60,000 USD.
In addition to the other tunas I caught, the average annual income of these marine hunters is at least 100,000 US dollars. In addition, they are not only catching tunas? They can also catch green guns, blue guns, sailfishes and so on.
So basically, the annual income of these marine hunters is about 150,000 US dollars.
In the United States, 50,000 is the middle class, and 150,000 is enough to attract a large number of people to join in this industry.
But this industry also has some troubles. One is that it depends entirely on your face. You may earn 300,000 yuan a year, or you may not make a penny and you have to pay for air tickets and gas. In this way, you two will be 150,000 yuan per person on average.
The second point is that it is not very safe. I won’t talk about the island country. There are only such a big place in total. In addition, there are too many people catching fish, so no one will go there. They all go to the high seas to catch fish.
Whether it is Southeast Asia or Mexico, you and I guarantee that you will sell a bluefin gold gun and will not be robbed halfway... There are many people who die on it every year, but no one can do anything about it.
Man dies for money and birds die for food. This is the eternal truth. It is precisely because of this that many marine hunters are staring at some safe places, such as Cape Cod and George's shoals in North America...
Speaking of Cape Cod, this place is really a place with close relationship with the United States, because it is the first stop for European immigrants to the Americas. Without this place, there would be no United States and Canada. This is not an exaggeration.
It is not the season for catching tuna, so when Jiang Hai and his boats came here, it seemed a little deserted. At the port of Woods Hall, when Jiang Hai's cruise ship drove in, many people who were taking advantage of the good weather and laying fishing nets on the docks looked at Jiang Hai and his boat. There were even many young men, and the girls' eyes were full of envy and hope.
Cape Cod is located in the gap between Massachusetts and New York. Politically, it belongs to Massachusetts. However, it is precisely because of this that it is not very rich. Although it is not like the legendary patches and patches, the per capita income here is really not high in Massachusetts. It is said that poor mountains and rivers are out of troublemakers. Although the people here are not considered troublemakers, there are many people who hope to leave here and yearn for the outside world.
