Introduction about Aquaculture development in Vietnam
1.2 Aquaculture production of Vietnam
Last decade, growth rate aquaculture achieved more than 10%, annually; for example: production in was 1.0 million, in million tons
Aquaculture contributes about 70-72% to export value

3. Promotion of Semi-Industrial Aquaculture in Vietnam

4. Promotion of Semi-Industrial Aquaculture in Vietnam
Mekong catfish (Pangasius hypophthalmus), black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) contribute 64.4% of production and 64.4% of value
In year 2008, production of Mekong catfish (P. hypophthalmus), was nearly 1.1 million ton and export value was $1.4 billion, 10.0% higher in volume and 27.3% in value than in 2007

5. Promotion of Semi-Industrial Aquaculture in Vietnam
Total shrimp culture production in was about 360,000 tons, valued approximately $1.5 billion, practically remained the same production level but little less in value ($1.55 billion) compared with year 2007

1.2 Characteristics of aquaculture in Vietnam
Shift from small scale for family subsistence into more commercial scale ensuring food security and providing sufficiently materials for processing for domestic and international markets

7. Promotion of Semi-Industrial Aquaculture in Vietnam
Small and medium scales have contributed to 75-80% of total aquaculture production
Shift from traditional integrated system using local available inputs (organic manure, green manure) with low productivity, into several systems such as cages, ponds, tanks, raiseways, etc. at semi-intensive and intensive level

8. Promotion of Semi-Industrial Aquaculture in Vietnam
Seeds of most aquaculture species produced in the hatcheries and fully meet the demand of growers.
Genetic quality of the important species such as Mekong catfish, Nile tilapia, etc.. improved through selection programmes.
Feed and probiotic production technologies are well developed.

9. Promotion of Semi-Industrial Aquaculture in Vietnam
Industrial animal agriculture is a modern form of intensive farming that refers to the industrialized production of livestock, including cattle, poultry (in "battery farms") and fish [Wikipedia].

10. Promotion of Semi-Industrial Aquaculture in Vietnam
Semi-industrial aquaculture in perspective of Vietnam whether it is small, medium or large scale, it’s productivity should reach to the semi-intensive level ( 2-20 tons/ha/yr.) [3], using some inputs such as seed, feeds, aeration; and some mechanization operations are in place.
It defers with the traditional method of aquaculture where it depends only on natural feeds available in system, and all operations are manual labor.

2.2 Species used for semi-industrial aquaculture in Vietnam
Dominant species:
Mekong catfish (P.hypophthalmus): tons/ha.crop
Black tiger shrimp (P.monodon): 3-4 tons/ha.crop
Less by volume, but important species for semi-industrial
White shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei):5-6 t/ha.crop
Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus):10-12 tons/ha.crop
Cobia (Rachycentron canadum):8-10kg/m3
Seabass (Lates calcarifer)

2.3 Semi-industrial systems
2.3.1 Site selection and pond layout
Availability and adequacy of unpolluted water;
Easy to access to electricity and communication;
Easy to access to transportation and main road;
Isolation from polluted sources including domestic, industrial, agriculture; and
Easy to deal with earth work and carry out construction

15. Promotion of Semi-Industrial Aquaculture in Vietnam
Size of pond or raiseway systems for fish or shrimp culture is ranging from a hectare to 5 hectares.
Common size of the pond for catfish or shrimp culture is ranging from 0.5 to 1.0 ha.
The water supply and drainage systems are separated.

16. Promotion of Semi-Industrial Aquaculture in Vietnam
Reservoir size is of 15-20% of a total farm size to store clean water for supplementing during grow out period.
Treatment pond size is of 10% of farm area for waste water is also required for any shrimp farm

17. Promotion of Semi-Industrial Aquaculture in Vietnam
2.4 Inputs
Manufactured feeds (pellets, extruded feeds) for feeding animals
Energy (electricity and gasoline) for aerators, water pumps and other facilities.
Chemicals, probiotics for pond treatment
Quality seed produced at hatcheries

3. Government policies to support semi-industrial and industrial aquaculture
Government of Vietnam had given high priority to aquaculture with the long term vision on ” industrialization and modernization of the sub-sector” by year

19. Promotion of Semi-Industrial Aquaculture in Vietnam
3. Government programmes to support aquaculture including semi-intensive
a) programme for aquaculture development for period (coded 224);
b) programme for hatchery seed production of aquaculture species (coded 112);

20. Promotion of Semi-Industrial Aquaculture in Vietnam
c) credit programme for infrastructure improvement for aquaculture and agriculture (coded 132) ;
d) research and development programmes, and
e) biotechnology programme for aquaculture

4.Concerns on product quality in semi-industrial and industrial aquaculture
Globalization and market trends create significant impacts on the way aquaculture products are produced.
Great concerns of semi-industrial and industrial aquaculture are product quality

22. Promotion of Semi-Industrial Aquaculture in Vietnam
Applying :
Good aquaculture practices
Best management practices
Bio-security priciples

23. Promotion of Semi-Industrial Aquaculture in Vietnam
5. Supports to cooperatives to operate semi-industrial aquaculture
Strong policy to reorganize small scale producers into cooperatives or producer groups to improve their production capacity and competitive competence in market chain.

24. Promotion of Semi-Industrial Aquaculture in Vietnam
In many communities, farmers themselves join together in a form of cooperatives (without financial contribution) to implement technical advices GAP, BMP; purchase feeds and seed, monitor water quality, survey diseases etc.

25. Promotion of Semi-Industrial Aquaculture in Vietnam
6. Research and development projects and Extension programme to promote industrial and semi-industrial aquaculture
Central Government of Vietnam allocates funds for the research and development projects focusing on the industrial (semi-intensive, intensive) aquaculture

26. Promotion of Semi-Industrial Aquaculture in Vietnam
Provincial authority is also allocating annual funds for research and extension works to promote aquaculture
Research results are widely introduced to aquaculture practice through extension channels

27. Promotion of Semi-Industrial Aquaculture in Vietnam
Many training programmes on semi-intensive and intensive technology are offered to the farmers
Special TV channel 2 “education channel” and radio regularly show and introduce the news and technology of semi-intensive and intensive aquaculture
extension materials are annually produced and disseminated
