(seafood.vasep.comvn) According to the Tay Ninh Statistics Office, fisheries output in the province fell significantly in November 2025 due to the impact of storms and heavy rainfall, which delayed harvesting activities, particularly for pangasius.
Specifically, total fisheries output for November 2025 is estimated at 14,596 tonnes, down 12.97% year-on-year. Of this, aquaculture production reached 13,955 tonnes (down 13.20%), while wild-caught output hit 641 tonnes (down 7.64%).
In the aquaculture, fish production was estimated at 11,783 tonnes (down 12.74%); while shrimp output fell more sharply to 1,721 tonnes (down 19.09%). Other aquatic products reached 452 tonnes, representing a slight 0.72% increase year-on-year. Both farming area and productivity of several cultured species declined, clearly reflecting the adverse impact of unfavorable weather conditions during the late-season stage.
For brackish-water shrimp, the stocking area in November was estimated at 856 hectares, down 3.93%. Harvested area reached 252 hectares (down 1.75%); while yield fell to 11.5 tonnes per hectare, a sharp 19.01% decrease, resulting in a significant drop in output compared with the same period last year.
Farmed fish production - primarily pangasius - also recorded a notable drop due to slower harvesting progress. In November, the harvested area reached 37 hectares while yield fell by nearly 21%, dragging output down 14.60% year-on-year.
By contrast, cumulative figures for the first 11 months of 2025 indicate relatively solid growth for Tay Ninh’s fisheries sector. Total fisheries output reached 165,008 tonnes, up 5.43% compared with the same period in 2024. Aquaculture production amounted to 159,079 tonnes (up 6.07%), including fish production of 132,897 tonnes (up 6.56%) and shrimp production of 21,515 tonnes (up 4.19%).
Meanwhile, cumulative capture fisheries output for the first 11 months totaled 5,929 tonnes, down 9.17% year-on-year. Notably, inland capture declined sharply by 17.31%, while marine capture slipped slightly by 0.44%.
According to statistical authorities, the sharp decline in fisheries output in November was largely seasonal and driven by unfavorable weather conditions. Nevertheless, cumulative results underscore aquaculture as a bright spot, contributing to stabilize overall growth of Tay Ninh’s fisheries sector in 2025.
