Hộ gia đình sản xuất tôm là hình thức chiếm ưu thế của vùng ven biển nuôi trồng thủy sản tại Việt Nam. trong Năm 2006, khoảng 459,000 tấn tôm WS sản xuất Bao gồm 12% của tổng số sản xuất thủy sản tại Việt Nam (USDAFAS 2007). Khoảng 34% tôm sản xuất (158,000 tấn) xuất khẩu WS tại một giá trị 1,46 nghìn tỷ USD. tôm Tăng cường sản xuất, với trung bình năm tăng trưởng 13% từ năm 2000 kinh nghiệm năm MỖI đến năm 2006 (USDAFAS 2007) | RESULTS OF BMP APPLYING TO SHIMP CULTURE IN NORTH CENTRAL VIETNAM Nguyen Xuan Suc Research Institute for Aquaculture 1 I. INTRODUCTION Household shrimp production is the predominant form of coastal aquaculture in Vietnam. In 2006 approximately 459 000 tonnes of shrimp was produced comprising 12 of total fisheries production in Vietnam USDAFAS 2007 . Approximately 34 of shrimp production 158 000 tonnes was exported at a value of USD billion. Shrimp production is increasing with an average of 13 growth experienced each year from 2000 to 2006 USDAFAS 2007 . In recent years residues and contaminants have been detected in exported shrimp with devastating results in markets. In 2003 five consignments from Thua Thien-Hue province to the European Union were destroyed or returned because of the presence of residues and a far larger quantity from all north central provinces were similarly treated in 2004. The loss of production negative environmental and socio-economic impacts and food safety concerns has provided impetus for the development and extension BMP for shrimp farms. BMPs have been used in many countries to implement the more general principles of responsible shrimp farming FAO 2005 . BMPs are voluntary and are becoming widely used as an important strategy to enhance the marketability of aquaculture product. A number of projects have contributed to the development of practical BMPs for shrimp farming in Vietnam . a DANIDA-funded and a NAFIQAVED . These projects have proposed specific BMPs and have conducted some small-scale testing of these BMPs. Their findings have not yet been widely disseminated among producers and BMP implementation is still limited. The benefits of applying BMP to household farms remain to be fully investigated. However experience in Thailand India and Bangladesh has shown that smallscale farmers who applied BMPs made gains in efficiency productivity and quality SUMA 2004 . This report presents the key results of project that Technical
