Mặc. | A Preliminary Evaluation of Adoption and implementation of Better Management Practices in the catfish farming industry in the Mekong delta Vietnam CARD Project 001 07 VIE August 2010 1.

Aquaculture may provide a means of income to the rural poor and support the availability of an affordable protein source and contribute to food security. To achieve this potential significant improvements must be made in current production systems particularly from an environmental and resource usage view points. Despite evidence of profitability in many sectors some systems are still performing sub-optimally and or causing negative impacts on the social and environmental landscape. There is a pressing need for the aquaculture industry as a whole to become ecologically sustainable to realize its full potential and be viable well into the future. . Sustainable Aquaculture and Better Management Practices The concept of ecologically sustainable development ESD is complex.

Better Management Practices BMPs have been proposed as one method to address sustainability issues in aquaculture. BMPs are a set of management guidelines which are relatively easy to achieve without substantial increases in costs. They are designed to standardize and optimize through chain industry management practices within the constraints of the existing system. They facilitate the means for continuous improvement in producers to meet market needs and expectations around product quantity and quality and provide a .
