Many people can’t help but be delighted and admiring when they witness the scene where Ca Mau farmers put a mouse’s tail to catch dozens of kilograms of goby fish
Goby fish (also known as goby fish) lives a lot in shrimp squares, rivers, canals… in Ca Mau. However, recently, due to the impact of the environment combined with human overexploitation, the production of this fish species in the wild has decreased gradually.

Mr. Nguyen Van Hai (living in Cai Nuoc district, Ca Mau) said that his family has nearly 2 hectares of extensive shrimp farming land. “Before that, when I came to the water of the square (full moon or thirty), I set a trap to catch tens of kilograms of wild goby fish, which was normal. But, now it is no longer,” Mr. Goby fish has soft and sweet meat, so when processed into dishes such as: grilled with salt and pepper, dried, cooked with sour soup, etc., it is usually very delicious. In particular, it is impossible not to mention the dried goby dish, which is one of the favorite dishes indispensable in the family meals of many households on Tet holidays. Facing the needs of the market, many households in Ca Mau have chosen the goby fish farming model to develop their economy and bring about unexpected results. People’s lives have gradually improved and become quite rich. Witnessing the scene of people using mouse tails to catch goby fish, many people coming to Ca Mau couldn’t help but admire and enjoy. Ca Mau farmers use “rat tail” to harvest goby fish in ponds Mr. Nguyen Van Dao (41 years old, living in Cai Nuoc district) said he has been working with goby fish farming for more than 5 years. “Around July every year, I buy goby fry from Ngoc Hien (Ca Mau) for stocking. After the care period, by December of the lunar calendar, the fish reached the weight above or below 40 fish/kg, then started to be harvested. Farmed goby fish is the same as in the wild, when it comes to square water, it is normal to run several dozen kilograms, “Dao said. Goby fish after being harvested by “rat tail” is brought into the nets waiting for traders to come and buy. With two ponds of goby, the last crop has helped Mr. Dao earn a profit of over 100 million dong after deducting all costs. To catch goby fish, people often hire workers to pull or place rat tails to sell them gradually. “In the last goby case, I saved millions of dong because I didn’t have to hire someone to pull but used a mouse’s tail to catch fish. Harvested in a rolling pattern, so I can sell at a high price and even have traders come to my house to buy it,” said Nguyen Kieu Tien excitedly. Traders come to the pond to buy and use the profit shell to transport it Currently, commercial goby fish (30-40 fish/kg) is bought by traders coming to the pond with prices ranging from around 75,000 VND/kg (depending on the type).
