Pushing the clutch to catch fish is a common activity in flooded fields in Nga Nam town (Soc Trang province). The clutch is placed in front of the boat's bow, the person behind uses force or the engine to push the boat forward, at that time the clutch touches the fish.

"Pushing the cone often catches big fish like snakehead fish, catfish, tilapia, so this method does not destroy aquatic resources. Every day I go to the field from 7am to 3pm and return home. On average, I catch 7-8kg of fish per day, at least 3-4kg. Currently, the selling price is from 60,000 - 100,000 VND/kg, the income is also a few hundred thousand VND, enough for living expenses during the flood season," said Mr. Danh Dieu in Nga Nam Town (Soc Trang Province).

Many people also choose to set nets to catch fish in the rice fields during the flood season.

Some households also catch golden apple snails to sell. “When the water floods the fields, the snails usually grow big and reproduce in large numbers. Just using a net to catch snails can earn dozens or even hundreds of kilograms of snails per day,” said a snail catcher in My Tu district (Soc Trang province).

Unable to produce rice, many people surround their fields with nets to raise fish. The model requires little investment, is easy to implement, and mainly utilizes natural food, so the average profit is 40-50 million VND/ha.

The flooded fields also provide food for the flocks of ducks, contributing to creating a vivid, shimmering picture of the flood season.
