(Baonghean.vn) - “Rổ càn” (also known as “rổ bóng đá” net) is a type of octagonal net originating from China. This is not a normal net but a rectangular cage with a door like a basket (hom bam) for aquatic species to enter and have no way out. Currently, in the coastal areas of Dien Chau and Hoang Mai town, there are quite a few households practicing the “rổ càn” business.
