Dien Chau releases shrimp for winter crop

(Baonghean.vn) - After two successful main shrimp crops, shrimp farmers in Dien Chau are currently renovating ponds and raising more than 20 hectares of shrimp for the third crop (winter crop).

Dien Trung farmers prepare to release winter shrimp.

Normally, shrimp farming is only done 2 crops/year, but in Dien Chau in recent years, people have boldly invested in winter shrimp farming. With 20 hectares, shrimp farmers in Dien Chau are currently raising 5 million white-leg shrimp. Although it is a difficult farming season, requiring high technical requirements, and the harvest time is 1 month later than the summer crop, it is easy to consume and has a higher economic value.

After renovating, cleaning the lagoon, and treating the water according to the correct procedures, farmers have now completed stocking 90% of the area. It is expected that the winter shrimp will be harvested in early February 2016.
