Many pond areas in Quynh Xuan ward, Hoang Mai town have had their bottoms dredged and lime sprinkled to remove alum.

People treat ponds by draining water, dredging the pond bottom, drying the bottom, sprinkling lime powder to remove alum, reinforcing the embankment, etc., and repairing machinery and water fans. It is expected that this year, people will mainly raise penaeid shrimp and white-leg shrimp, with 80% of the shrimp fry provided by shrimp hatcheries in the area.
