The aquaculture area in March 2026 was estimated at 472.8 hectares, up 1.05% year-on-year. In the first quarter of 2026, the total aquaculture area reached about 1,427.5 hectares, up 0.89%. Of this, the aquaculture area reached 423.7 hectares, up 1.15%, mainly consisting of traditional species, accounting for 130 hectares, up 1.83%.
In terms of production, aquaculture output in March 2026 was estimated at 2,320.4 tons, down slightly by 0.39% compared to the same period last year. However, freshwater shrimp output maintained positive growth, reaching 420 tons, up 4.74%. In the first quarter of 2026, total aquaculture production was estimated at 6,955.9 tons, up 1.07%; freshwater shrimp alone reached 1,150.5 tons, up 3.07%.
In seed production, favorable weather conditions contributed to higher efficiency. In March, seed output reached 2.06 billion fry, up 3.73% year-on-year. In the first quarter of 2026, total seed production reached about 5.9 billion fry, up 2.24%.

Fishing boats operating near shore were reported to have relatively dense fish stocks, helping improve catch efficiency for both offshore and nearshore vessels.
Fishing activities mainly concentrated in offshore areas and regions such as the southern waters of Phu Quy Island and Con Son waters. Thanks to favorable conditions, capture fisheries output in March was estimated at 16,209.6 tons, up 3.02% year-on-year, including marine capture at 16,159 tons.
In the first quarter of 2026, total capture fisheries output reached 53,257.3 tons, up 3.5% year-on-year; marine capture alone reached 53,109 tons, also up 3.5%. These results reflect the stability of fishing activities as well as fishermen’s adaptability to weather and market conditions.
