According to Mr. Ho Ba Dung, the fishing grounds after the storm were quite rich in seafood. Through monitoring on the detector screen, he was sure that there was a large fish stream, so he decided to drop anchor and collected a huge amount of anchovies; it turned out to be about 1,000 trays of fish.

Currently, the purchase price at the wharf for black anchovy is 12,000 VND/kg, and for white anchovy is 14,000 VND/kg. Photo: Ngoc Bich

Sharing the joy with Mr. Dung's ship, Captain Nguyen Ngoc Hien brought back spoils from the sea, with more than 20 tons of anchovies and nearly 10 tons of various fish that he sold for more than 300 million VND; after deducting expenses, each crew member earned nearly 10 million VND/trip.

Currently, due to the shortage of goods after the storm, the seafood caught by fishermen is being purchased by traders at high prices. At Lach Quen port, black anchovy is priced at 12,000 VND/kg, white anchovy is priced at 14,000 VND/kg. Anchovies are purchased by traders to process fish sauce, dry for export to markets in China and Malaysia...

Immediately after selling all their products, the fishing boats of Tien Thuy commune fishermen urgently refueled and replenished their supplies to set sail for a new fishing trip./.
