Quang Nam (VNS/VNA) - Fishermen in coastal communes of Duy Hai and DuyNghia in the central province of Quang Nam are happy with the ongoing bumper ruocbien (sea shrimp)-season, as a fishing boat can earn a few million of dong pertrip.

The atmosphere in the two communes in Duy Xuyen district is bustling. Althoughit is the start of shrimp season, the fishermen are taking advantage of theweather to go to sea.

According to many local fishermen, this year's season has come later thanusual.

“Normally, the shrimp season starts in the first lunar month, but this year fellon the fifteenth day of the second lunar month,” Nguyen Van Tai, a 60-year-oldfisherman said.

The shrimp fishing season usually lasts only 1-2 months.

Favourable weather has created good conditions for local fishermen to go to seaand bring in lucrative hauls.

Fisherman Le Van Chin, living at Village 3, Duy Hai commune, said that for fourdays, he and his two sons have been out at sea. A daily trip starts at 5am andends at about 1pm.

“On one day, we can get a maximum of a tonne of tiny shrimp and a minimum of100kg,” Chin said.

“Our boat goes about one nautical mile, then we drop the nets at a depth ofabout 5-6m to catch tiny shrimp.”

“These days, all members of my family are involved in the trade.

“My two sons and I go to sea, while my wife dries shrimp in the sun to sell tothe traders.”

Fishermen, after pulling in their nets full of shrimp, they will return toshore. Then a fisherman will use a small conical boat to carry the shrimpashore and sell to traders on the beach.

The price of fresh shrimp ranges from 20,000-30,000 VND (1.3 USD) per kg, anddried tiny shrimp from 60,000-90,000 VND per kg. Four kilos of fresh shrimp cancreate 1kg of dried shrimp.

At current prices, Chin and his family can earn more than 10 million VND a day,and a minimum of 1 million VND a day.
