With favorable weather conditions and a rich anchovy season, many fishing boats in Phu Yen province have been bringing in one to two tons of anchovies per night, generating profits of millions of dong for local fishermen. In Phu Yen, anchovy fishing is a year-round activity, but the peak season runs from November (lunar calendar) to April of the following year. A strong season with high prices brings prosperity to fishermen and encourages them to continue venturing out to sea. Anchovy is a specialty of the region and is used to produce fish sauce.
