Over the past years, the provincial sub-department of fisheries has coordinated with relevant agencies in implementing solutions to protect, regenerate and restore aquatic resources. Such efforts have contributed to maintaining ecological balance, while creating livelihoods, and bringing economic efficiency to local residents.



 The provincial sub-department of fisheries has paid attention to monitoring water levels, the environment and weather conditions as part of solutions to protect and develop aquatic resources.


With a water surface area of about 8,900 hectares, the Hoa Binh reservoir area boasts favourable conditions to promote tourism and aquaculture. Over the past years, fishing and aquaculture have generated stable income for local residents. However, the aquatic resources are exhausted due to overfishing, which can be seen in Thung Nai, Vay Nua and Tien Phong communes.  

Dang Thi Duy, deputy head of the sub-department, pointed to poor awareness of locals as the root cause behind the problem. Given this, the province has issued various resolutions and decisions regarding fish cage farming in the area and aquaculture development.

Its aquaculture area now stands at 2,700 hectares and the number of fish cages has risen to nearly 5,000 from only 1,700 in 2014. Its aquatic output in the first half of this year is estimated at over 6,000 tonnes. The provincial sub-department of fisheries has paid attention to monitoring water levels, the environment and weather conditions as part of solutions to protect and develop aquatic resources.

Last month, the agency sent an inspection delegation to the area to supervise fishing activities by organisations and individuals, and proposed the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development repair notice signs there.
