Fish swim upstream in Ban Ve Lake, My Ly people have more income

(Baonghean) -The water level of Ban Ve Hydropower Reservoir is rising, fish species that prefer flowing water are trying to swim upstream of Nam Non to find a suitable habitat. Therefore, in recent months, people in some villages located along the river in My Ly commune (Ky Son) such as Hoa Ly and Xop Tu have had significant additional income from fishing.

In the area of ​​Xop Tu village ferry, a bustling fishing village has long been formed. The residents of this fishing village are some families in the village who go down to the river to build floating houses to fish. Some families even bring all their members down to the floating houses for convenience in living and fishing. Mr. Luong Van Phong said: "Since September 2011, there have been countless fish from Ban Ve lake area going up here.

Many families in My Ly invest tens of millions of dong to buy nets.

People competed to buy all kinds of nets to catch fish. In the beginning, when there were still many fish, some people caught 200 - 300 kg of fish per day. Depending on the type of fish, the price was divided into many levels. The highest price was for catfish and mullet, usually at 150,000 VND/kg. In particular, some people caught catfish weighing approximately 20 kg. All the fish caught were sold out, and those who arrived late would not be able to buy fish.

Earning a significant amount of money from fishing, people in Xop Tu and Hoa Ly villages continue to invest in buying expensive nets (around 10 million VND) to expand their fishing scale and increase their family income.
