Nghe An fishermen enjoy bumper blue-swimmer crab season

For nearly a month, fishermen in the coastal villages of Dien Chau, An Chau and Hai Chau in Nghe An province have begun the crab-fishing season using gillnets about 5–20 nautical miles offshore. Fresh crab prices remain stable at 120,000–220,000 VND/kg depending on size, enabling each bamboo-raft trip to earn 2–3 million VND.
