| For the past two days, the tide has been high, bringing a large number of shrimp to the surface of the Lam River estuary in Hoa Lam hamlet, Hung Hoa commune. Fishermen have been taking turns setting nets and collecting the shrimp. On average, each household harvests 50-100 kg of fresh shrimp per day. After drying, 5 kg of fresh shrimp yields 1 kg of dried shrimp. With current market prices, families earn at least 1 million VND per day. |

| Every few hours, Mr. Nguyen Van Thuong from Hoa Lam hamlet goes to the river to collect shrimp, each time getting about 8-10 kg of fresh shrimp. Mr. Thuong said that the shrimp season only lasts about 3 days, and today is the second day. |
 |
| Fresh shrimp are brought back by the people of Hoa Lam hamlet and dried in the sun on the same day. |
 |
| Dried shrimp from the Lam River are translucent white and have a sweet aroma. |
 |
| On average, Mrs. Dung's family harvests about 10 kg of dried shrimp per day, earning approximately 1 million VND. Mrs. Dung said that their lives depend on the river, and occasionally, the abundance of shrimp helps ease their financial difficulties. |
 |
| The shrimp season is short, occurring only a few times a year, so the people of Hoa Lam village take advantage of the time to catch shrimp. |
