(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./.
