Fish season in the Mekong Delta

    Mekong Delta - As flood waters begin to recede, people in the upper Mekong River basin are busy harvesting fish...

    g
    According to the flood season rules in the Mekong Delta, from mid-September of the lunar calendar, flood water begins to recede from the fields to the rivers.
    V
    With many years of experience, people in the upper Mekong River region have used fishing gear typical of the Southern river region such as: bottom, don... to catch fish. In the picture, people in Vinh Hau commune (An Phu district, An Giang province) set up bottom to catch fish on the way from the field to the river.
    V
    This is also the time when aquatic species are the biggest, fattest and most delicious after months of eating plankton in the floodwaters. The image of people in the upstream area beaming with joy after catching a big fish.

    After about 10 minutes of setting the bottom, the farmer harvested nearly half a large basket.
    f
    However, according to the locals, in the past 10 years, the flood has come late and the water level has been low, so the amount of fish has gradually decreased. If before, a day could catch several tons to several dozen tons of various types of fish, such as giant freshwater prawns, snakehead fish, climbing perch... and most of all, linh fish, now it is only about 100kg.
    h
    Ms. Ho Thu Thuy (Vinh Hau commune, An Phu district, An Giang province) said: "There are few fish, but now there are only foam fish (small fish), like today (October 31) only 50kg were harvested. At this time, the most expensive fish is loach at 150,000 VND/kg, but this type is not much now!".
    f
    The loach harvested on the afternoon of October 31st by Ms. Thuy's family.
    h
    At this time, silver carp, tilapia, and silver carp in the upstream area only cost 6,000 - 10,000 VND/kg.
    h
    Silver carp is purchased by traders still fresh.
    h
    Mr. Nguyen Dinh Khuong (An Phu district) expressed: "The job is getting more and more difficult, but for people in the upstream area, it is like a career. As long as there is flood water, fish and shrimp, we will still follow the water to catch them..."
