(Baonghean.vn) - In the first days of 2017, fishermen at Lach Quen fishing port (Tien Thuy commune, Quynh Luu district, Nghe An) were bustling with boat holds full of shrimp (moi).
 |
| Fisherman Tran Van Hai (Son Hai hamlet, Tien Thuy commune, Quynh Luu) happily said: "There are a lot of shrimp. When we saw a lot of shrimp, we told each other to go out and catch them for luck at the beginning of the year." |
 |
| Boats full of shrimp lined up to dock, the fishing port became more crowded and bustling than ever. Fishermen were excited and happy because of the "lucky" season. |
 |
| Nguyen Van Trinh's boat in Son Hai hamlet (Tien Thuy commune, Quynh Luu district) was happy on the way home because he caught 300 kg of shrimp on the first day of the year. He shared: "Not only my boat, there are boats that caught more than 500 kg of shrimp. This year, the first days of the new year, the sea has given us gifts, hopefully a year will bring us a full year of fish and shrimp for our boat." |
 |
| Fishermen classify and remove impurities to provide shrimp to consumers. |
 |
| The women in the fishing village happily transport shrimp ashore. |
 |  |
| Each season of sea shrimp brings much joy to the people living along the coast. With the price of 600 thousand VND/quintal (equivalent to 6 thousand VND/kg), the price of shrimp is somewhat satisfactory for the people here. The people here mainly depend on the sea to make a living, according to statistics from the Tien Thuy Commune Fisheries Management Board, 90% of the people here live by fishing and each family has a boat to catch seafood. |
 |
| Besides shrimp, many fishermen also "hit it big" with delicious anchovies. |
