Mr. Thien, a resident of Cuong Gian commune, and more than 10 workers used a 24CV boat to fish with a purse seine about two nautical miles off the coast of Nghi Xuan district. At 7am, the fishermen pulled the net and caught a large batch of fish with strange shapes.

Total of 19, each weighing more than 50 kg.

Hundreds of people gathered on the coast of Cuong Gian commune to watch the fish and take photos and videos of the school of fish.

According to the commune leaders, suspecting this is a rare fish species, the government has supported the people with some of the cost of engine oil and encouraged them to release the fish back into the sea for conservation. By nearly 9am, all the fish had been released back into the sea.

Over the past 40 years, the commune has recorded fishermen catching dugongs.

The dugong ( Orcaella brevirostris ), also known as the Mekong Irrawaddy dolphin, is a marine mammal of the dolphin family Delphinidae, living in coastal and estuarine waters in Southeast Asia. In Vietnam, this species is called dugong or Minh Hai dugong.
