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
