New Taipei City Fishery Youth Head Home Monthly Salary 100K Dream

Jian Zhicheng, 32, was born in Huanggang Fishing Village. His father is a veteran fisherman engaged in bottom longline fishing there. As the only child in his family, he was not required by his father to do this line of work. Jian Zhicheng said: "I have always had a strong interest in machinery, and I also like to change cars and chase wind. After graduating from high school, I went to the garage to work as a black hand. I also tried to open a car beauty parlor. In my spare time, I began to go fishing with my father to earn some pocket money. I didn't expect that the more I worked, the more I specialized. Later, I even went to sign up for the chief engineer training course and obtained the chief engineer qualification. I took care of the fishing boat myself. At least $100,000 a month is earned, and dividends can be paid when there is a bumper harvest."

Return to the embrace of the sea, play the spirit of the people to improve the catch unit price will Jane Zhicheng back to the seaside hometown opportunity, is gentle and beautiful Mrs. Jane, that year grew up in Zhonghe Mrs. Jane, although do not know "fisherman" in the end what? However, she could see that Jian Zhicheng loved working at sea very much in his heart, and she was worried about Captain Jian going out to sea alone, so she actively encouraged her husband to resign and return home to inherit the family business.

Bottom longline fishing involves attaching hundreds of hooks to a long line, and then using fresh fish such as squid as bait to attract fish one by one into the sea. Unlike bottom trawl fishing, the operation does not entangle corals and damage the ecological environment. The target fish are mainly large fish. Jian Zhicheng said: "We are all working in the middle of the night, my father and I will take turns sailing, rest, looking for fishing season, every time the hook must be fast and accurate, throw down about 15 minutes to quickly collect the hook, the fish body can be beautiful and complete, and our fish cabin is not large, catch quantity is limited, can only take advantage of fresh to quickly send back to the fishing port, so our fish are maintained fresh and beautiful, selling price is also relatively good."

Although the income is good, but it is full of many unknown hardships, Jian Zhicheng recalled: "Once when I went out to sea, I happened to encounter my father's stone attack. At that time, the ship was still in the sea area of the mainland. The sea patrol wanted to pick it up. I had to hurry back to the sea area of our country before I could ask the sea patrol to come to rescue. And three years ago, I caught a full load of mullet. Who knew that the ship had a problem? Half of the hull in front was submerged in the water. It was not easy to get Haixun to tow it back. The machinery was soaked. I replaced all the machinery. Now the ship is as good as new. It's just that all the income from that year has been lost."

Fisherman's children have many stories to tell. Whether they want to inherit the cause of the previous generation or are interested in the aquatic industry, there are many government resources available now. According to the Agriculture Bureau of New Taipei City, this year's tailor-made "Return to Fishing Program" for New Taipei City provides entrepreneurial resources and professional training courses, and the Fisheries Department's "Award for Fishery and Maritime Related Colleges and Vocational Training Centers to Complete Fishing Service" Program,"Fishing Boat Cadre Crew Training" and "Culture Youth School Series Lecture" can provide complete training courses from theory to practice. Hope to bring more complete guidance measures to young people interested in fishing work in New Taipei City, so that young people have the opportunity to make their own home!
