The provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development on November 20 coordinated with Hai Dang Group Hoa Binh Seafood Company Limited to release 1.5 tonnes of fries into Hoa Binh Lake to regenerate aquatic resources, with a total value of 266 million VND (10,460 USD).

This, an activity within the framework of the second Da River Fish and Shrimp Festival in Hoa Binh province, saw the presence of Bui Duc Hinh, Standing Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the provincial People's Council; and Dinh Cong Su, Vice Chairman of the provincial People's Committee.


Bui Duc Hinh, Standing Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the provincial People's Council, and leaders of several departments and sectors release fries into Hoa Binh Lake.

The Da River flows through Hoa Binh province with an area of about 8,900 hectares, belonging to 19 communes of Da Bac, Mai Chau, Cao Phong and Tan Lac districts, and Hoa Binh city. Hoa Binh Lake is considered a valuable treasure of organisms and aquatic resources of the province. However, in recent years, fishing, especially destructive fishing methods, has depleted aquatic resources in the lake.

Therefore, every year, the agricultural sector has mobilised many resources to protect, regenerate and develop aquatic resources in Hoa Binh Lake. The activity aims to help organisations and individuals understand the importance and responsibility of protecting aquatic resources, implementing aquaculture and exploitation in association with environmental protection, and strictly prohibiting the use of explosives, toxic substances and electric shocks to exploit aquatic resources. This contributes to the regeneration and restoration of resources, and diversification of aquatic species in the waters of Hoa Binh Lake.
