Localities across Việt Nam released millions of aquatic species on the first day of April to regenerate fisheries resources, marking the 65th traditional day of Vietnam’s fisheries sector (April 1, 1959-2024).
At the Trần Đề Fishing Port in the Mekong Delta province of Sóc Trăng, the authorities set free two million breeding tiger shrimps.
In his remarks, Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Vương Quốc Nam said the province has set plans to conduct three rounds of releases this year in order to enhance fisheries resources.
At the event, the organising committee also awarded 20 scholarships worth VNĐ1 million (US$41) each to children of disadvantaged fishermen at the fishing port.
With 72km of coastline and an intricate network of rivers and streams, Sóc Trăng boasts abundant aquatic resources.
