In the past few days, the weather has been calm and the seas are calm, and I and dozens of other boats here have been lucky to catch a lot of crabs and mantis shrimps. On this trip, I caught nearly 100kg of crabs and 4kg of mantis shrimps, and after deducting expenses, I earned nearly 3 million VND. Crabs caught in the net are removed in time to be sold to traders. To keep crabs fresh and sell for a good price, fishermen invest in mini aerators on their boats.
Seafood is purchased by traders immediately after it is brought ashore. At this time, fresh crabs are sold for 170,000 - 250,000 VND/kg; mantis shrimp from 100,000 - 150,000 VND/kg.
