In the months from September to March of the lunar calendar every year, Bau Gun (An My commune, Tuy An district, Phu Yen) bustles with the sound of dams at night. Over a long period of exploitation with environmental “complications”, people began to wish to preserve the lagoon as their livelihood. Job “chicks” feed through the day Bau Gun is a freshwater lagoon with immense lilies. With an area of ​​2.5 km², there is also a job here “chirping” fishing in the Bau. Each end of the year, in the September of lunar calendar, heavy rains pouring in from high places create the floating water season in Bau Gun. That is when the cocoons of caviar and snail eggs still buried in the mud, clinging to the grass tops are proliferating and proliferating. This is also the fishing season for people living in villages bordering on Bau such as Hoa Da village, Giai Son village, Phu Long village, Phu Hoa village. People fish in the plain with many different tools, depending on the type of fish catching, they have suitable fishing methods and times. Some tools can be mentioned as fish net, ignoring fish to lure, net to grab snails or a bamboo that locals call it to lure shrimp, crab … In order to get fresh and delicious fish, the farmer had to do a lot of work from preparing the fishing equipment to removing the fish from the net to be intact. In the past, to make a net, it took three to four days to complete. From the work of buying freight and weaving into a net, boiling boiling water through the net, then floating boats, lead pairs, each stage requires perseverance and meticulousness. But now that is better, there are ready-made fish nets on the market with reasonable prices. Doing this job, regardless of time, sometimes goes out and pulls the net two or three times a day. Those who work for a long time will have experience and know the direction of the water flow, when the fish runs to keep track of the time and place of fishing. At 1 am, when everyone was still asleep, Uncle Le Van Muoi (59 years old, Hoa Da village, An My commune) started a new job with fish nets on an old daily boat. This boat has been with me for several seasons of floating water and is my best friend on Bau Gun. Not only uncle, in that time frame, in the quiet night, we can hear the boats gliding on the water very clearly, asking each other: “So early today, uncle Muoi”, “Today Is it okay, Mr. Tu ”. At this moment, there are more and more lights, people, splashing water, fish fluttering in the cabin. Everyone was quick and hurried, looking forward to more fish in time for the first day of the market. White fish nets were pulled back at four o’clock in the morning, under a light in the middle of the yard, the uncle Muoi and his wife carefully removed each fish so that they were intact for sale at a high price. And the fresh tilapia, swimming in the brass. “The story of the bird, water fish is difficult to say, some days are many, some days are less. Everyday, we can sell 200 thousand dong only, some days we get a few dozen ”, said Ms. Nguyen Thi Nhung, wife of Uncle Muoi. Find a way to recover Field fishing in Bau Gun is considered a traditional profession every time the water season returns. The people following this profession are mostly men, after finishing farming, they prepare for a season of fishing to earn extra income. Because every water level comes back, Bau Gun has many fish and shrimp such as anabas, crayfish, catfish, trout, catfish, shrimp, crab, and snails, just fishing is enough for everyone to have a meal. delicious rice, bold home taste. What is more wonderful, after hard working hours, everyone has time to gather with the family rice tray, enjoy sweet cooked crayfish, add tomatoes, a few slices of chili, the aroma of seasoning vegetables. Adding a plate of water lily next to it is nothing. But in recent years, the number of fish and snails on the Bau gun has decreased significantly. Some types of high economic value such as crustaceans, snails, snails, black snails gradually disappear. That is a sign that the sneaky use of “electric batteries” in the fishing process, the destructive fishing style has greatly affected the reproduction and breeding of these types of aquatic products. In addition, the use of agrochemicals in the cultivation process at Bau Gun in the past is also one of the reasons for the egg cancer of aquatic species remaining in the mud, plants. Wishing to restore an old gun, some people are looking for ways to rebuild lost aquatic breeds by catching, farming, and buying seeds from other places to breed for breeding. . At the same time limit the use of agricultural chemicals to protect aquatic resources, step by step maintain traditional jobs here.
