Big fish follow the tide, making a living on deeply flooded rice fields
During the flood season, many fields in My Tu commune (Can Tho City) are deeply flooded, unable to produce, farmers take advantage of water storage, releasing natural fish fry throughout the flood season. Fish are raised mainly with natural feed sources such as plankton, algae and organisms in the fields, so feed costs are almost non-existent.

After 3-4 months of farming, the fish reaches a weight of 0.8–1 kg/fish, harvesting with a fairly good yield, bringing a stable source of income for farmers. Mr. Dang Van Doi (My Tu commune, Can Tho city) said that raising fish on rice fields helps each hectare of field (1000 m2) bring a profit of about 1 million VND, while growing flooded rice crops is almost unprofitable.
