When the Taiwan tilapia grows up to 600 grams, the fishermen will accept the orders from wholesalers in the place of origin and prepare for the fishing. Normally, the wholesaler has a group of fishing and shipping staffs. The fishing operation of Taiwan tilapia is quite different from the harvest operation of general crops. It is necessary to keep the fish alive and to maintain the quality of food processing. So, the fishing works need professional techniques.

The fishing work is the so-called
"Dragging Fish." The fishing workers use the fishing net in all directions to surround the fish, and drag the fishing net to the edge of fish farm slowly. Just like a tug of war game, the fishing work is very tough. Finally, the fishing workers surround the fish in a rectangular area, and then pack the fish into round plastic buckets. Next, the workers on a truck lift these buckets with a crane and move them to the shore for weighting. And then, the fish will be put into the water tank of truck. In order to keep the fish alive, the workers add ice and oxygen into the water tank. So, the fish are still healthy-looking and vivacious when they are sent to the food processing plants or the markets.
