Covering a total area of 8,892 hectares, Hoa Binh Reservoir
in Hoa Binh province is considered as a precious source of aquatic species of the

bagarius), "bong” (Spinibarbus denticulatus), "lang” (Bagridae), "dam xanh”
(Kyphosidae), "anh vu” (Semilabeo notabilis), and many others.
Aquaculture has helped thousands of local families
reduce poverty and improve their living conditions.

number of communications activities to protect and develop aquatic resources sustainably,
creating chances for poverty reduction.
Dinh Van Huy, Vice Chairman of the People’s Committee

water area. Over the past many years, the commune has paid great attention to
improving public awareness in implementing the Law on Fisheries, reducing and
preventing the use of electricity pulse and gill net in fishing activities, and
developing the fish farming in line with the planning.
Locals have also applied science and technology
advances in disease management and fish farming to safety standards, thus
opening an effective orientation in lake-based economic development.
In recent years, the province has maintained the
activity of releasing fishes to the lake to enrich the aquatic resources and
enhancing the awareness of organisations, individuals and the public on the
significance and responsibilities in protecting aquatic resources.
The province has implemented aquaculture in line with
environmental protection, prohibiting the use of explosives, toxic chemicals
and electricity pulse in fishing, while actively enriching the aquatic
resources, managing species, improving public awareness of the resources
management and protection.
