From above, each net is stretched in the middle of the sea, as if skillfully arranged by an artist. Purse nets are used to catch fish by filtering water, and are dropped from the ship and pulled up to the ship. Purse nets are used to catch fish in schools and are only dropped to a certain depth. When anchovy schools are discovered, fishermen use a seine net to catch fish. The ship is pulling the purse seine. During the fishing process, the shape of the purse seine always changes. From the beginning of the net, it is a flat net, to the end of the net, it is a cylinder, and when it is rolled up, it is a cone.

Ly Son island district in Quang Ngai province consists of a large island, which locals call Cu Lao Re, and a small island. Along the coast of the two islands, there are many black volcanic lava fields from ancient times, now smoothed by the waves. Between the curved rocky beaches in the small island are bays of golden sand exposed in the clear blue water. The life of the people here is mainly fishing. In addition, thanks to its wild beauty, in recent years, Ly Son island has attracted domestic and foreign tourists.
