Having just returned from 3 trips, fisherman Trinh Thai of Yen Loi village said: From the 5th to the 7th lunar month is the main season for sea shrimp. At this time, the shrimp is in season and the price is good, so we are very excited, trying to go out to sea to collect "sea blessings".
On average, each fishing boat catches about 500 kg of shrimp, some boats catch more than 1 ton, earning from 4-7 million VND/day. In recent days, shrimp have appeared so densely that most boats going out to sea have had a big hit. The entire Tien Dien commune currently has about 25 boats going out to sea to catch shrimp, with a daily output of 15-20 tons. Thanks to the good shrimp season, it brings high income to fishermen, while also creating jobs for many people involved in shrimp processing.
