A lone fisherman navigates a course through the nets of his shellfish farm as he rows out to check the day's catch. He is known as a 'Lianjia fisherman' because he spends up to 16 hours each day on his traditional wooden dinghy, the Lianjia boat, earning a living by fishing and collecting shellfish. The farms are located in Xiapu, in the Fujian Province of China. Shellfish farms can be found for 500 kilometres along the South-East coast of China because it is protected by mountains and rocks, preventing larger fishing vessels from sailing into the area.
