(seafood.vasep.com.vn) In super-intensive shrimp farming, technology plays an important and decisive role for success. Bac Lieu province is applying advanced technology to farming models, in order to improve production, quality and towards closed-loop shrimp farming, environmental protection and sustainable development.
Developing high-tech, closed-loop shrimp farming models
Bac Lieu is one of the first provinces of the country to apply high technology to shrimp farming for many years. Up to now, the province has developed many models such as: Super-intensive shrimp farming model in closed house of Viet Uc Group; model of shrimp farming in circular floating tanks of Long Manh Company; sustainable shrimp farming model in earthen ponds of Vinhthinh Biostadt Company; model of shrimp farming in 2 stages with little water change of Truc Anh Biotechnology Co., Ltd; The three-stage shrimp farming model of CP Livestock Joint Stock Company… These are also the models applied by many shrimp farming households in the province.

Selection of suitable farming models, good wastewater treatment in super-intensive shrimp farming. Towards closed-loop, high-tech shrimp farming models to protect the sustainable shrimp farming environment.

Meanwhile, with an average growth rate of nearly 7%/year of the world shrimp industry, it is expected that by 2045, the total global shrimp production will reach 15 million tons. Vietnam can become the world's No. 1 shrimp production and processing power, accounting for 25% of the global shrimp market share with an output of nearly 4 million tons of raw shrimp, worth $20 billion by 2045.
