(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.
Since the beginning of this year, under the direction of the Department of Agriculture and Environment, the Sub-Department of Agricultural, Forestry, and Fishery Product Quality Management has strengthened the integration of the professional activities to promote and guide the organizations and individuals in the production and trading of agricultural, forestry, and fishery products to comply with the legal regulations regarding the use of chemicals, pesticides and veterinary medicines in crop cultivation, livestock farming and aquaculture. They also provide guidance to processing and manufacturing establishments on keeping the records to trace the product origins and using food additives from the approved list according to the regulations.
