After the storm, shrimp farmers in Nghe An are excited because of a good harvest and good prices.

After the storm, when the sea level receded, hundreds of fishermen in the coastal areas of Nghe An were busy pushing shrimp along the shore. With only rudimentary tools, each trip to the sea lasted 15-20 minutes, and they collected dozens of kilograms of fresh shrimp. Shrimp prices increased due to scarcity, bringing a significant source of income to fishermen after days off from sea to avoid the storm.

Fishermen pour fresh shrimp into buckets and basins, preparing for the next trips. Every morning, people can go to the sea to push shrimp 3-4 times. Photo: TP

Traders buy shrimp right at the beach at 15,000 - 16,000 VND/kg, twice as high as the main season, due to the scarce supply after the storm. Photo: TP

Mr. Ho Trong Dat, a long-time fisherman in Quynh Anh commune, who has been involved in the shrimp fishing profession for more than 30 years, shared: "Pulling a net to catch shrimp requires strength and experience, so every morning I try to make 3-4 trips."

After each shrimp pushing session, fishermen dry their fishing poles on racks, preparing for the next days at sea. Photo: TP

After harvesting, the shrimp is dried to be processed for consumption and sale or to make shrimp paste. Photo: TP
