Quynh Luu: Raising more than 20 hectares of commercial clams

(Baonghean.vn) - After harvesting commercial clams to sell to the market, dozens of clam farming households in Quynh Luu district are currently continuing to treat their ponds and stock them to close the area.

Quynh Luu has 120 hectares of commercial clam farming area concentrated along the tidal flats of Son Hai, Quynh Tho, An Hoa, Quynh Thuan communes. Commercial clam farming is done by farmers in a rotational manner, every 1 hectare of pond area will be divided into separate areas for farming. Therefore, at any time, people have products to harvest.

It is estimated that by March 3, there were about 20 hectares of clam seeds released by people, and the released clams were all nursed for more than 1 year. In addition to releasing clam seeds, farmers continue to mobilize aerators and hire workers to go to the tidal flats to harvest clams.

Release clam seeds to the beach when they are more than 1 year old. During the release process, wait for the tide to be at its lowest level to release effectively. Release density is 300 clams/m2.
