The price of fish is being sold on the market from700,000 - 1,200,000VND/kg, depending on the type of fish and its weight.

"After the flood, the Lam River water is receding rapidly, so fish from the upstream districts may have followed the water downstream, so Thanh Chuong people have been able to catch fish continuously" - a fisherman on the Lam River in Thanh Ha commune said.

Eel (also known as eel) is a species that breeds in the sea but migrates from there into freshwater rivers, upstream streams with stable flows and lives in caves in shallow streams. During the rainy season, they drift to Lam River (Ca River) and can go to sea to breed. This is a very rare specialty species, so eel is sought after by many people. Therefore, the number of this fish species is also decreasing significantly in the natural environment.
