Dien Chau releases more than 100 hectares of shrimp for the second crop

(Baonghean.vn) - After harvesting the first crop of shrimp with good productivity, shrimp farmers in Dien Chau have released more than 100 hectares of the second crop with nearly 100 million white-leg shrimp.

In this season, shrimp farmers in Dien Chau district do not use water taken directly from the river but invest in filtering wells to ensure the water source is not polluted. The ponds are paved with concrete, and thick tarpaulins are used to line the bottom and walls of the ponds, helping to prevent water loss and damage, and preventing dirty water from entering the ponds to prevent pathogens from affecting the farming environment.

The agricultural sector has been promoting farmers to balance, release, and interrupt the crop to proactively source seeds and consume them when harvesting. Seed management is also strictly controlled, and must have a clear origin and quality assurance before being released for farming.

This is also the first crop in which two shrimp farming households with 4 hectares in Dien Trung commune apply a new farming method, which is to incubate the shrimp in a closed house, and release them into the pond when they are nearly 1 month old and healthy. This farming method is applied in many places in the province, bringing high economic efficiency.
