Shrimp
When dealing with their large shrimp industry the Vietnamese must remain
aware of the environmental consequences that have accompanied over-intensification
in other countries. A remarkable increase in shrimp production could be
achieved by using the semi-intensive system, which requires sufficient hatchery-produced
postlarvae, input of supplementary feed and proper water quality management.
