According to Lam Dong province statistics, in the first months of the year, weather conditions and fishing grounds were relatively favorable, allowing fishing vessels to operate stably at sea. Anchovy stocks were particularly abundant, creating favorable conditions for small purse seine and trawling vessels. Fishing grounds were mainly concentrated in the inshore areas of the province, south of Phu Quy Island, Con Son Island, etc. The estimated seafood catch for the first quarter of 2026 reached 53,257.3 tons, an increase of 3.5% (marine catch reached 53,109 tons, also an increase of 3.5%).
