(HBO) - For 2 years, 91 households in Ngoi village, Ngoi Hoa commune, Tan Lac district have been known as doing community - based tourism. To attract tourists, many households have invested in infrastructure and repairing houses, preparing costumes, etc. according to local customs and practices. From community tourism, many households have a stable source of income. However, to attract tourists to the locality, Mr. Bui Van Chien's family - a household in the village chose his own way of raising specialty fish to serve tourists.


Mr. Bui Van Chien in Ngoi village, Ngoi Hoa commune, Tan Lac district raises hemibagrus fish, creates a tourist product on the lake to attract tourists.

 

Mr. Chien said: This house was built with the capital of over 200 million VND from fish profit. Due to the edge of the river, it was airy and spacy but cost more than elsewhere, it was needed to build stone embankments to avoid landslides. like many families in this lake area, my family has to "resettle" many times to live in Ngoi village as now. Many years ago, being supported by the State, I planted 5,000 m2 of some kinds of bamboos like  bương and luồng to collect young bamboo shoots and collecting trees. At the end of the harvest, we went to the river to catch fish with nets and dropped shrimp nets. In those years, fish and shrimp were so much, we could catch hundredweight of fish and shrimps.

Mr. Chien said: In recent years, more people have caught seafood. They even use electricity to catch and with the level of destroying, therefore, the quantity of shrimp and fish is becoming less and less. Prior to the fact that the aquatic resources has been increasingly exhausted, he and his neighbors in the village have made fish cages for raising fish. At first, each house had only 2-3 cages raising traditional fish varieties such as black and white amurs. These two fish varieties are suitable for natural conditions on the lake bed, so they are less sick and the caring duty is not difficult. Seeing the economic efficiency, he made more cages with larger scale. According to Mr. Chien, the food source of these two types of fish is plentiful. The farmers mainly have to spend their working labor with little investment, so their income is more than planting some kinds of bamboos like bương and luồng or growing maize or cassava. In May 2017, the Poverty Reduction Project and Program 135 invested in net cages and iron frames for households raising fish in the lake, he was supported to invest in 7 cages. After making the cages, he raised black and yellow hemibagrus fish with more than 1,000 fish. This is a special fish with high economic value in the lake area, so it is preferred by customers. For those fish being at 4-5 kg ​​or more, the price is very high. Due to lack of technique, in the watery season, the fish-water turbulence was abdicated and died. For the fear of disease, in June, 2018, he sold all fish and continued to invest in expanding fish farming. With a little experience, this year, he invested in a few thousand fish breeding in 5 cages and released into many different groups.
