Going out to sea to exploit seafood on a ship built under Decree 67, on February 27, fishing boat numbered NA 953.49 TS of fisherman Nguyen Manh Cuong in Tien Thuy commune returned to Lach Quen wharf.

“Our ship has been launched for 3 months. Due to unfavorable weather conditions at the end of last year, fishermen’s income was not high. On the 4th day of Tet, we held a ceremony to set sail and this was the most successful trip since the ship was launched. Along with 16 tons of anchovies, this trip we caught hairtail and fresh squid worth nearly 50 million VND; after deducting expenses, each crew member earned 3-4 million VND,” said fisherman Nguyen Manh Cuong.

In previous visits, many boats caught a lot of needlefish, some earning more than 1 billion VND after only 4 days of fishing. On February 27 alone, dozens of fishing boats arrived in succession, most of them catching a lot of needlefish.

Fisherman Nguyen Van Manh in Quynh Nghia commune said that since the 4th day of Tet, many fishing boats have started to set sail, and the return trips are all “open sea” trips; every boat is full of fresh anchovies and squid. As for my boat, this trip caught 20 tons of anchovies and more than 1 ton of squid, and after selling them to traders, I earned over 300 million VND.

“Although the value of anchovies is lower than some other types, the output is high, each boat catches 10-20 tons of anchovies, so there is income. The first trips of the year will be good, making up for the time before Tet when the boat has to stay ashore due to rough seas,” said fisherman Manh.
