| The number of trips to catch shrimp depends on the tide. If the tide is favorable, there are two trips per day. The first trip is from 2am to 8am, the next trip is from 9am to 2pm. Photo: Quang An |

| On average, each shrimp fishing boat has only 1 person, while large boats have 2 people. Mr. Dinh Van Tu, Tien Tien hamlet, Dien Kim commune shared: Shrimp is considered a gift from the sea because it is easy to catch and costs less than other types of seafood, but it is always favored by the market, and all that is caught is imported.

| People sell shrimp to traders right at the sea when the price is good. According to Ms. Nga, a fisherman in Dien Kim commune, if the shrimp price is good, people will import it to the facilities, but if the price is low, they will dry it to sell or make sour shrimp, which will have higher economic value.
