After the heavy rain and flood, Nghe An fishermen have a big catch of sea shrimp.

According to fishermen's experience, after a storm or tropical depression passes, the sea surface becomes calm and clear again, and shrimp appear in large numbers. These days, fishermen in the coastal area of ​​Quynh Luu are excited to start the shrimp season. Photo: Thanh Phuc

From dawn, Quynh Bang beach became bustling, fishermen gathered to rake shrimp. This year, after the flood, the strong sunshine caused shrimp to multiply a lot, drifting close to the shore. Photo: Thanh Phuc

The shrimp raking tool is a large shrimp rake, with a rim with a mouth diameter of 40-50 cm, attached to a 2-3 m long rake rod. The rake net has thick mesh and is nearly 1 m long. Photo: Thanh Phuc

When going to the sea, people pull the cart backward. In deep water, people have to use stilts to "go ruoc". Photo: Thanh Phuc

When the shrimp is heavy, the cart is pulled to shore and the shrimp is poured into baskets or basins. On days when there is a lot of shrimp, it takes about 45-60 minutes for fishermen to scoop up a heavy batch of shrimp. Photo: Thanh Phuc

Nguyen Huu Thuoc, a fisherman in Quynh Bang commune, said: "Sea shrimp are available all year round, but the season for harvesting sea shrimp along the coast is only from the 6th to the 9th lunar month. Shrimp are not available every day, but depend on the tide. If the water is clear, they will come ashore and fishermen can dig them up. If the water is turbid, they will stay offshore and we have to use boats to catch them." Photo: Thanh Phuc

The te profession only scoops up shrimp from the surface, so the shrimp is clean and free of any other impurities. When first scooped up, the fresh pink te shrimp sparkles under the sunlight. Photo: Thanh Phuc

This year, shrimp harvest is good and prices are high, so fishermen are very excited. Some days, each fisherman can catch 80-100kg of shrimp, bringing in an income of 1-1.2 million VND/day. Photo: Thanh Phuc

Traders from all over come to buy shrimp. The price of shrimp ranges from 12,000 to 15,000 VND/kg. The traders buy all the shrimp they catch. Mr. Nguyen Van Dung, a shrimp buyer from Quang Binh, said: "Every day I buy over 10 tons of shrimp to make shrimp paste and fish feed." Photo: Thanh Phuc

There are households that do not sell but process the shrimp into many other products such as: drying them into dried sea shrimp for export, salting them into shrimp paste, stinky shrimp... Photo: Thanh Phuc
