Investigations show that
Quảng Ninh’s sea has abundant resources, with many kinds of fish
and shrimp, and products of high economic value for either
domestic use or export. Over recent years,
Quảng
Ninh has paid attention to the upgrading of its boats and
equipment. Modernization has raised the output of the profession,
while the occupation of growing and planting products on the coast
has also developed. The
practises of catching these products of the sea are still
widespread. These called:
catching squids and song fish,
net-catching (Chă and Chài) profession,
digging out sái sùng,
catching sea products by lamps...(hottext) Quảng
Ninh has a large sea, with 250km coastline which stretches from
Trà Cô (Móng Cái Town) border to China toward Hà Nam Island
(belongs to Yên Hưng) border to Hải Pḥng. Results of
excavations in many archaeological sites in the Ha Long region
show that the fisheries profession may have appeared between 6,000
and 7,000 years ago. Finds include net-sinkers made of terra cotta
and hooks and needles made of bone from the Soi Nhụ, Thoi Giếng,
Ngọc Vừng cultures. Today, these can be found in the Quảng Ninh
Museum.
