| 9 tons are mainly smelt, also known as axe fish. In addition to Captain Son, there are 11 crew members on board. Mr. Son said that each sea trip is divided according to the ratio of the ship owner receiving 6 parts, each remaining crew member receiving one part, if in charge of the chef, an additional 0.3 parts are added.

| In addition to the 9 tons of fish brought to port, Mr. Son's boat also caught some other seafood such as sea cucumbers and red crabs. These types of fish are often purchased by traders at sea. Photo: Tien Hung |

| "On average, we earn 30 million VND per day at sea. But in reality, it's much more than that, because it takes the boat nearly 3 days to go there and back, in reality we only catch 6 days, each day catching 1.5 tons of fish" - Mr. Son said. Each red crab like this costs up to 300,000 VND sold at sea. Photo: Tien Hung |

| Another valuable seafood in each fishing trip is seahorse. This type is often kept by the ship owner for the crew members to keep as their own. "Each of these costs about a few tens of thousands of VND. On shore, they buy it for 4 million VND/1kg. They often buy it to soak in wine to drink and cure asthma" - Hoang Duc Lin Da (18 years old), said. On each sea trip, in addition to the money divided by the ship owner, Lin Da can also earn about 1 million VND from seahorses. Photo: Tien Hung. |

| According to Mr. Son, each sea trip usually costs about 60 million VND. This time, after deducting expenses, each crew member received over 10 million VND. This is not a small amount of money for 9 days of work at sea. Photo: Tien Hung |

| After entering Lach Con port, the fish continued to be sorted for sale to traders. After resting on shore for about 3 days, the crew continued their trips to sea. Mr. Nguyen Phuc Son said that since the beginning of the year, most of the fishing trips of Quynh Phuong fishermen have been successful. "For this ship alone, the income of the crew members from the last 4 fishing trips was nearly 15 million VND each," said Mr. Son. Photo: Tien Hung |
