VTV.vn - Phu Yen fishermen have been enjoying a bountiful anchovy season over the past month. The season started 20 days ago, with large harvests recorded.

Per night, each fishing boat has caught 60 to 300 baskets of anchovies, with each weighing up to 20kg. Some boats have even collected up to 500 baskets, reaching an output of 10 tons.

Fishermen can sell a basket of anchovies for about 8 USD, bringing in about 423 to 2,500 USD in income. Some boats have earned up to 4,200 USD per night. According to fishermen, the anchovies appeared early and in larger amounts this year.

The fish is sold on the spot so that it can be processed into fish sauce or used to make dried anchovies. The anchovy harvesting season of Tuy An district will last until the end of the third lunar month.
