Shrimp-mangrove Farming Project in Ca Mau Province, Vietnam

The Network of Aquaculture Centres in Asia commissioned AMRC to work with staff from Can Tho University to investigate potentials and constraints for implementation of a shrimp-mangrove model developed as part of an ACIAR-funded research project that AMRC had reviewed in 1998. Sunil Pednekar carried out much of the work with colleagues at CTU and produced the final report in October 2000. Major findings revealed that debt and issues of resource tenure continue to be constraints on application of technical models and that a better social and economic understanding is required within such research initiatives.
