Based on weather forecasts and fishing grounds, coastal localities in Ha Tinh province are striving to achieve a seafood catch of approximately 17,500 tons during the 2023-2024 northern fishing season, estimated to be worth 900 billion VND.
The northern fishing season takes place from October 2023 to March 2024. According to experienced fishermen, the resources appearing during this season mainly include species such as anchovies, mollusks, mackerel, scad, grouper, shrimp, krill, etc. The high density of pelagic fish species motivates fishermen to venture further out to sea.
Ha Tinh province aims to harvest 17,500 tons of seafood during the northern fishing season.
At this time, the relevant departments continue to closely monitor the situation at the grassroots level, regularly tracking developments in fishing grounds, weather conditions, and climate... to advise and direct localities in guiding fishermen to organize successful fisheries exploitation. Simultaneously, they are researching and understanding some economically efficient fisheries production models from other provinces in order to learn from their experiences and apply them locally.
Authorities have also intensified state management activities regarding fisheries exploitation; strictly handling cases of violations involving the use of electric shock, explosives, and poisons for fishing, and preventing illegal fishing in the province.
According to the Ha Tinh Fisheries Department, during this northern fishing season, localities aim to harvest approximately 17,500 tons of seafood, estimated at 900 billion VND. This includes: 15,500 tons from the sea (comprising 10,000 tons of fish, 500 tons of shrimp, and 5,000 tons of other seafood); and 2,000 tons from inland fishing (comprising 1,000 tons of fish, 200 tons of shrimp, and 800 tons of other seafood).
Authorities in Ha Tinh province are educating fishermen about preventing illegal fishing.
Ha Tinh currently has 2,743 registered fishing vessels. Of these, 412 vessels operate in inshore waters (with a length from 12m to under 15m) and 93 vessels operate in offshore waters (with a length of 15m or more). The offshore vessels mainly engage in fishing methods such as longline fishing, seine fishing, gillnet fishing, trap fishing, and squid jigging, and contribute the majority of the province's total seafood production. The remaining 2,238 vessels are fishing boats smaller than 12 meters in length, mainly engaged in gillnet and longline fishing, operating in the coastal waters of the province. |
