At the fishing port, fishermen urgently transported each tray of seafood from the boat to shore for sale to traders. According to fishermen, despite the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic, the purchase price remains stable. Specifically, grade 1 tuna is currently priced at 60,000 VND/kg; silver pomfret is 40,000 - 50,000 VND/kg. As for exported hairtail, due to limited consumption due to the epidemic, the purchase price at this time is 80,000 VND/kg (down from 50,000 - 70,000 VND/kg compared to previous years).

According to the fishermen, most of the boats had a good seafood season this time, bringing in an income of 300 - 500 million VND; some boats had a big catch of valuable fish and squid, so their revenue was much higher.
