People make giant fishing nets, catching half a ton of anchovies each batch.
(Baonghean.vn) - Giant fishing nets are erected on large hydroelectric lakes in Nghe An such as Ban Ve and Hua Na. On average, each net can catch 500 - 700 kg of fish.

| The fishing net is about 400 square meters wide. It takes 4 to 5 skilled workers 4 days to create a fishing net for catching ditch fish. The cost of investing in a net is about 10-15 million VND including labor and material costs (including: net, battery, rope, pulley, wood...). Photo: Ho Phuong |

| The net used to make the net is the most expensive material in the lamp net. Each net is 300 to 400 square meters wide and costs about 2.5 to 4 million VND. Photo: Ho Phuong |

| The light bulb is connected to a battery and an electric generator to make it brighter. From 6pm to 7pm every day, the fisherman will connect the battery and light the light. Photo: Ho Phuong |

| Because the net is so large, the person who raises it cannot use a pole like a normal net, but must use a winch and pulley to pull the net up. The faster this is done, the more effective it is. Photo: Ho Phuong |
 |
| On each pulley there must be a rope used to lock the winch. When the fishing is completed, the owner will lower the winch and unlock it. Photo: Ho Phuong |

| After the mouth of the net is raised about 1 meter above the water surface, a person uses a rope to wrap around and pull the bottom of the net to a point to bring the fish into the boat. Photo: Ho Phuong |

| The net is mainly used to catch anchovies. People use anchovies as food for caged fish or sell them to other areas. The price of each kilogram of anchovies ranges from 3,500 to 10,000 VND/kg. Thus, the value of each catch can be up to 4 million VND. Photo: Ho Phuong |

| "Previously, each time a fisherman lifted a fishing net, he could catch 600 to 700 kg of fish per net. However, the amount of fish is increasingly scarce, and the cold weather means that some days he can only catch 100 to 200 kg per net per time," said a fisherman. Photo: Ho Phuong |

| Catched fish are sold to traders for import at some fish sauce production facilities, animal feed production companies... and used as feed for family fish cages. Mr. Tran Van Thuan, a fish cage farmer, said that his family has 30 fish cages, and every day has to catch more than 200 kg of small fish to feed the cage fish. Photo: Diep Phuong |
