Ha Tinh Mr. Phan Van Thien in Cuong Gian commune, Nghi Xuan district caught 19 dolphin fish, each weighing more than 50 kg.

Early on the morning of March 16, 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.

Mr. Hoang Van Ha, Chairman of Cuong Gian Commune, said that upon receiving news that fishermen had caught a strange fish, officials came to check and determined that it was a dolphin, also known as a dugong, belonging to the dolphin family. There were a total of 19 fish, 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.

The Chairman of Cuong Gian Commune added that this fish species rarely appears in the area. It has been more than 40 years since the commune recorded fishermen catching the fish.

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.
