Dự án này nhằm mục đích phát triển chăn nuôi ấu trùng và năng lực vườn ươm sản xuất cá biển tại Việt Nam thông qua việc sử dụng các công nghệ truy cập, chi phí hiệu quả và bền vững về môi trường. Thông qua việc phát triển và sử dụng ao nổi raceways (FR) dự án này sẽ hỗ trợ nông dân để phát triển khả năng của chuyên sâu nhưng bền và quản lý nuôi ấu trùng của họ. Khả năng này sẽ được sử dụng để cải thiện nguồn cung cấp cá giống cho ngành công. | Ministry of Agriculture Rural Development Australian Government AusAID Project Progress Report 062 04VIE Intensive in-pond raceway production of marine finfish MS3 FIRST SIX-MONTHLY REPORT 1 1.

Project Abstract This project aims to develop the larval rearing and nursery capacity of marine finfish production in Vietnam through the use of accessible cost effective and environmentally sustainable technologies. Through the development and use of in pond floating raceways FR this project will assist farmers to develop their own intensive but durable and manageable larval rearing capacity. This capacity will be used to improve fingerling supply to the industry which is currently both costly and limited. In addition advanced nursery capacity will also be developed using the same principles. Grow out of finfish in raceways to market size will also be investigated in this project in conjunction with Australian researchers. Researchers from
