Squid, also called calamari, is a kind of mollusk that lives in the ocean. It has rich nutritional value and is a precious seafood. I believe everyone is familiar with it, especially grilled squid is still a lot of people's favorite! But do you know that in addition to traditional fishing, squid can also be caught with light?

In fact, every squid is a "curious baby", and fishing squid is using the phototaxis of squid, through the light trapping method-only the light is used without the bait! The most important thing is that this method can increase the catch by nearly 50%. Does it sound like a kind of "Jiang Taigong fishing" feel!

The phototaxis of squids is due to their nature, just like men see beautiful women, women see diamonds, and children see toys; squid phototaxis is to see their companions in bright places, which is more secure. Moreover, under light, squids are more likely to find plankton to meet their own feeding needs. So how can these light-tending squids be caught with light?

First install a large number of light sources on the hull to build a "light boat"; install automatic spinning wheel devices on both sides of the ship's side. Each spinning wheel is wrapped with a 100-meter nylon fishing line. A fluorescent hook is attached at a certain distance; put the fishing line into the water, the fluorescent hook emits fluorescence under the light of the boat, and under the action of water pressure, it will produce a lot of bubbles, which the squid mistakenly thinks. The plankton attacked and hunted and hugged the fluorescent hook with tentacles, and then couldn't get out; at this time, the squid fisher could pull the fishing line with the spinning wheels at a constant speed, and then they could catch the bunches of squid up.

Argentine squid is the most commonly eaten squid. It tastes smooth and crispy. But many people don't know that the squid was actually caught by this light trap method! Coupled with its unique low-temperature "boat freezing" after fishing, it locks in freshness for the first time, so it is more favored by diners and has a broader market prospect! Okay, let’s not say much, I’m going to buy squid too~
