# Provincial Fisheries Service Support for Fish Breeders in Gia Dinh

A landscape photo sheet under a purple headline reports that in early May 1966 the Gia Định Fisheries Service trained 50 fishermen from 8 districts in pond-fish farming and nylon-net use at the Thủ Đức centre, gave each a nylon net free, and supplied 16,700 carp fingerlings to 18 fishermen in Gò Vấp and Thủ Đức. Three photographs show onlookers at a pond, men hauling a net and a close-up of fish in a net. The tell is the list of figures and free gifts with a practical subject: the sheet presents the provincial government as a provider and gives no costs or failures.

THE FISHERIES SERVICE CARRIES OUT FISH-FARMING WORK AND ISSUES FISHING EQUIPMENT TO THE FISHERMEN OF GIA-ĐỊNH PROVINCE

In the first ten days of May 1966, the Gia-Định Fisheries Service trained 50 fishermen from 8 districts of Gia-Định province in how to make fish-rearing ponds and how to use nylon fishing nets, at the Thủ-Đức Fish-Farming Centre.

The fishermen attending the training course are practising the use of nets and catching the various fish released into the ponds of the Fisheries Centre, to study the kinds of fish with their own eyes, and the fishermen paid special attention to the carp, a fish that grows quickly, has very tasty flesh and sells at a high price.

The nylon net that has gathered so many fish above was issued free by the Fisheries Service to the 50 fishermen of Gia-Định province. In addition, the Gia-Định Fisheries Service also issued 16,700 carp fingerlings to 18 fishermen of Gò-Vấp and Thủ-Đức districts.

Read from the image; some diacritics in the smaller caption type are faint and could not be fully verified. 'Ty' is rendered 'Service' (provincial office); 'dưỡng ngư' as 'fish-farming'.
