Production has reached over 5,325 metric tons, accounting for 85 per cent of total provincial commercial shrimp production. Some farming areas had a high yield of 12 metric tons per hectare.
Mr Vo Dinh Tam, head of the sub-Department of Aquaculture said that as soon as whiteleg shrimp was introduced into Binh Dinh, the provincial fisheries sector farmed whiteleg shrimp in a sustainable and environmental friendly manner. Besides, shrimp farmers must strictly control the quality of broodstock prior to farming and strengthen the management and care for shrimp.
