- To reinforce the contingents
of scientists, technicians and researchers for aquaculture research institutes and
centers as well as national aquatic seed centers in order to have sufficient
human resources to perform the function of developing aquatic seeds, including:
prioritizing the in-country and overseas training of scientists for research
institutes, research centers, national aquatic seed centers, universities and
colleges providing aquaculture training.
- To step up various forms of
training in seed production management and techniques, raise the seed
production and feed production levels at the hatchery-reared postlarvae stage
for technicians and workers of production establishments; provide technical
training and transfer technologies to fishermen and farmers engaged in aquatic
seed production. To encourage all economic sectors to send people for training
in order to have good specialists and technicians in aquatic seed production.
3. To form and step by step
modernize the system of establishments engaged in commercial production of
seeds
To develop the system of
establishments engaged in commercial production of seeds according to branch
and local plannings, to encourage the participation of all economic sectors in
the regions with seed production advantages and the key aquaculture regions
where conditions permit the seed production in order to supply sufficient seeds
for farming for export and agricultural restructuring.
a/ Establishments engaged in
producing aquatic seeds for brackishwater and saltwater farming:
In northern coastal areas: To
develop a number of farms to produce tiger prawn and nipper-prawn seeds being
brackishwater species naturally distributed in the region, in order to supply
part of these seeds on spot, and, at the same time, to receive tiger prawn
larvae from central Vietnam or larvae of other species for hatchery into
advanced seeds. Particularly for coastal areas in Quang Ninh and Hai Phong, to
encourage the development of farms to artificially breed marine fishes and
establishments to hatch fertilized fish eggs into fingerlings for farming
areas.
In central costal areas from Da
Nang to Binh Thuan: To develop the commercial production of aquatic seeds for
supply to farming areas nationwide. The major species to be produced in the
central region include tiger prawns and many brackishwater and saltwater
aquatic species like menson, chinaman, sparoid, crab (Da Nang, Quang Nam),
lobster (Binh Dinh, Phu Yen, Khanh Hoa), grouper and winkle (Khanh Hoa, Ninh
Thuan, Binh Thuan).
In southern coastal areas: To
develop the production of tiger prawn and blue-legged prawn seeds in order to
proactively supply part of these seeds on spot. In some provinces with
rivermouth alluvial banks favorable for mollusk development, such as Tien
Giang, Ben Tre, it is necessary to develop establishments engaged in the
artificial production of mollusk seeds in order to sufficiently supply them for
the farming demands in the area, reducing the exploitation of natural seeds.
b/ Establishments engaged in
producing aquatic seeds for freshwater farming:

In central provinces: To develop
hatcheries or build fry production farms with appropriate sizes suitable to the
serviced areas in order to sustain their operation.
In southern provinces: To
develop seed production in all localities. For the immediate future, to
prioritize investment in researching into the technologies for the production
of seeds of basa (indigenous catfish), male blue-legged prawns and unisexual
male GIFT tilapia, rare and precious indigenous species which are exportable,
and assorted freshwater fish species and quickly transfer them for mass
production in order to sufficiently supply them for farming for export and
domestic consumption.
In mountainous and Central
Highlands areas: Through fishery promotion activities to develop small-scale
seed production spots and fingerling hatcheries in deep-lying and remote areas
in order to supply seeds on spot and restoring the reservoir fisheries.
c/ To build a number of concentrated
aquatic seed production zones along the industrialization direction:
Concentrated seed production
zones shall be built in areas with favorable conditions and in key farming
areas. In each zone, 200 to 500 seed farms may be set up, each having a capacity
of producing 10 million of prawn seeds per year in order to create great
quantities of aquatic seeds, and observing the Regulations on quarantine, goods
labeling and quality recognition before ex-work delivery. Outside the prawn
seed production season, these farms may produce mollusk seeds, hatch marine
fishes and other crustacean species.
For the immediate future, from
2004 to 2006, to support investment in building a number of concentrated
brackishwater and saltwater aquatic seed production zones:
- Cam Lap - Cam Rang - Khanh Hoa
concentrated seed production zone.
- Ninh Hai - Ninh Thuan
concentrated seed production zone.
- Ngoc Hien - Ca Mau
concentrated seed production zone.
