(HBO) - Hoa Binh province has enjoyed stable aquaculture development over the time. It is home to 2,700 ha of aquatic farms and 4,700 fish cages.
The province’s aquatic output hit 686
tonnes in July, including 132 tonnes from fishing and 554 tonnes from fish
farming.
There are 32 aquatic farms and cooperatives
in the province, of which 10 specialise in aquaculture and the remainders combine
agriculture and aquatic activities.
Residents
in Nua hamlet, Vay Nua commune (Da Bac district) invest in caged fish farming
and fishing on Hoa Binh reservoir to stabilise income.
To stabilise aquaculture, competent
agencies have worked with local authorities to enhance inspection and
dissemination on the negative impact of fishing using explosive, electric currents
and poisons, in an attempt to raise public awareness and responsibility for
aquatic resource protection and development.
They also keep a close watch on weather
conditions on the reservoir, water level and temperature to timely inform
farmers, as well as provide counselling for local people on disease prevention
for fish during seasonal changes./.
