(Baonghean.vn) - On the morning of August 14, fishing boat NA - 9000 - TS of fisherman Dao Van Huan, Quynh Long commune, Quynh Luu) docked at Lach Quen fishing port carrying a giant moon fish weighing nearly 1 ton.

The crew is bringing the giant sunfish ashore.

Previously, on August 10, while fishing in the Gulf of Tonkin, Mr. Huan's fishing boat caught a very large sunfish that got caught in the net. The crew members on the boat had to work hard, using a winch to bring the fish onto the boat and put it in the refrigerated hold.

Mr. Huan said that at the same time, the fleet also caught a sunfish weighing about 200 kg. After bringing it to shore, they discovered that the fish was still alive and released it back into the sea.

In recent times, sunfish have continuously fallen into fishermen's nets.

Previously, during the fishing trip after storm No. 1 passed, Mr. Huan's ship also caught 4 ocean sunfish, weighing over 1 ton. After docking at the port, he contacted the Vietnam Museum of Nature to donate these 4 fish for research and display.
