| Shrimp season is at its peak in the 8th lunar month every year. However, shrimp does not "come in" every day. There are also days when a large net can only yield less than 100 kg of shrimp. On peak days, on average, each household can catch several hundred kg of shrimp in just one afternoon. Those using boats and large nets can harvest more. Photo: Nhat Thanh |
