Phu Yen fishermen hit the jackpot with tuna at the beginning of the season

On the morning of February 6, Mr. Phan Thuan, Chairman of the Fisheries Union of Ward 6, Tuy Hoa City (Phu Yen) said that the first 16 tuna fishing boats after a long fishing trip at the beginning of the season had arrived at the port. Each boat caught 1.2 - 3 tons of tuna, so they all made a profit.

Oil prices have dropped, tuna season is good, so many fishermen are happy to celebrate Tet.

Mr. Le Anh Dung's fishing boat PY-96077TS caught 3 tons, after deducting expenses, the profit was more than 300 million VND and each crew member received 17 million VND. Currently, the price of tuna is only 145,000 VND/kg of grade 1 fish, down 25,000 VND/kg compared to last year, but thanks to the decrease in oil prices, the cost of a trip at sea has decreased. Moreover, fishermen proactively exploit many other types of seafood, so every boat makes a profit.

Captain Nguyen Ngoc Ry, Deputy Head of Administrative Control at Tuy Hoa City Border Guard Station, said that there are currently 161 fishing boats of Ward 6 fishermen exploiting ocean tuna in the Truong Sa archipelago and are expected to dock from December 20 to 28 to celebrate Tet.
