WWW.WAS.ORG • WORLD AQUACULTURE • MARCH 2015 37 production chain activities of hatcheries, farms, processing factories and export. These companies often hold international certifications from GlobalGAP, BAP or ASC. Cooperatives, comanagement or cluster production could be an important solution and trend for small-scale household production in the near future (Tung et al. 2012). Conclusions In conclusion, through several decades of development, shrimp seed production and farming have become increasingly important activities and play important roles in the socioeconomics of the coastal areas of Vietnam in general and the Mekong Delta in particular. Shrimp seed production is trending toward strengthening of capacity to meet increasing requirements for quantity and quality. Although shrimp farming is intensifying, large areas of improved extensive farming systems, integrated farming systems and alternative rice-shrimp farming systems continue to be maintained for sustainable development. Certification for shrimp farming with national and international standards is an important target in the near future. The shrimp industry is on the move toward sustainable development and meeting planned targets of 630,000 ha and 700,000 t by the year 2020.1 Notes Tran Ngoc Hai, Pham Minh Duc, Vo Nam Son, Truong Hoang Minh and Nguyen Thanh Phuong College of Aquaculture and Fisheries – Can Tho University – Vietnam Email: tnhai@ctu.edu.vn 1 Directorate of Fisheries. 2012.
