Exploiting the rich 100-kilometer coastline in Thanh Hoa is now shifting from traditional methods to high-tech, modern aquaculture practices. This step is crucial for the local government to ensure the sustainability of the fisheries industry while enhancing the competitiveness of seafood products in broader markets.
The provincial Department of Agriculture and Environment notes that the technological transition has become an inevitability. Today, innovations such as multi-stage shrimp farming, biofloc technology, and the use of greenhouses with closed recirculation systems are beginning to dominate. The implementation of aquaculture management software allows farmers to monitor water quality, manage feeding with precision, and mitigate disease risks early.
One success story of this technology application can be seen in the family business of Mr. Nguyen Danh Duong in Nga Son commune. With a significant investment in a 7-hectare area equipped with inverter aeration systems and automatic feeding, he has successfully achieved productivity of up to 80 tons per hectare annually. The integrated digital system enables him to control real-time pond environment fluctuations, providing much more stable profit margins compared to conventional methods.
To date, Thanh Hoa has successfully consolidated more than 3,500 hectares of land for large-scale development, with a primary focus on intensive shrimp farming. The provincial government is committed to continuing to drive digital transformation and attract private investment to strengthen infrastructure and the supply chain. This move is expected to create a fisheries ecosystem that is resilient to climate change and environmentally conscious.
