(HBO) - That fisherman is Mr. Dinh Van Linh in Trang village, Binh Thanh commune, Cao Phong district. From his experience, he not only enriched by himself but also "dragging" hundreds of households to be back for fish cage raising.


Raising cage fish, Mr. Linh earns hundreds of millions of dongs a year.

 In 2014, he followed a few households in the village to invest in raising cage fish. Besides the effort and materials such as his own bamboo, Luong trees, he spent more than 10 million VND buying grass carps, black carps and net to raise 2 first cages. After a few months of good care, fish grew up fast. In early May, when the first rains fell, the water in the streams flowed into the river. The water was muddy with many impurities, so the fish in his cage died out. Do not be discouraged, in the following year; he continued to invest his capital in building more cages with more than 30 million VND. Just like last year, after several months of efforts, his fish died and had to be sold out in the market. At this time, he realized that most of the fish in the farms near the lakeside was dead. When he came far away from the bank to get the water, he found that the water there was still clean. He went to Thuy Nai commune to learn about fish farming and found that some fishermen raising fish near the bank also had their fish died due to lack of oxygen. Only one household carrying cages far away from the bank did not have fish died.

 In 2016, he borrowed more capital to continue investing in raising 10 cages and dragging cages offshore. However, the daily care tasks were more difficult, for example, transporting food and protecting the fish but it is safe for the fish at the beginning of the rainy season. Later that year, he earned nearly one hundred million VND from his fish cages. Raising successfully, with encouragement, he continued to borrow more capital to invest in 20 fish cages. From bamboo or Luong cages, he bravely invested in iron cages. Each year, his family exports more than 4 tons of commercial fish to the market, earning hundreds of million VND.

 From the successful implementation of Mr. Dinh Van Linh, many people in the village have learned to drag away their cages to raise fish. At present, the cage fish farming Cooperative of Binh Thanh Commune operated by him has 23 households participating to raise cage fish with hundreds of cages. Each year, the Cooperative produces several tonnes of fish, creating jobs for nearly 100 workers. Many households has become rich and had a stable life from that.
