‘Ngan’ fish is sold in Nghia Phuong market in Hoa Binh city.

This year’s ‘ngan’ fish season came soon. Since the beginning of March, many boats could purchase the fish. This time started the new season of the fish so the fish is abundant with high quality.

At the beginning of the season, the fish is usually sold at a higher price - about over 200,000 VND per kilogramme. By mid-season, the price drops to only over 100,000 VND per kilogramme. Each kilogramme of ‘ngan’ fish is enough to cook three different dishes for a meal.

‘Ngan’ fish can be mixed with spices, dill vegetables, onions and eggs, and meat to make nutrient-richsteamed fish ball. "Ngan’ fish can also be dried or used to make sour soup.

A number of traders said they sell a lot of fish to merchants and retailers at markets, and to restaurants. ‘Ngan’ fish is usually not enough to meet the demand of buyers.

Local fishermen have good sense of fishing to sustainably preserve the aquatic resources. They usually use handcrafted items such as nets, fishing-baskets or angling to catch fish, not those that can cause disappearance of the species of fish. 

To protect the aquatic resources in a sustainable manner, in May 2018, the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development asked Hoa Binh’s localities to have specific measures and activities, including those to reasonably exploit ‘ngan’ fish through using fishing gears to exploit aquatic products. The moves aims to avoid affecting natural fish species and those cultivated in cages by locals, and prevent overexploitation./.
