Vietnam’s Aquaculture Plan also seems to lack detail for execution of outlined goals, such as “continue to direct the development of effective farming of key species and aquatic species with economic value.” Other goals include “Take advantage of the potential of the water surface, develop aquaculture on reservoirs and saltwater intrusion areas newly formed by climate change that cannot continue agricultural production, forming linkage chains, ensuring food quality and safety, and applying advanced science and technology to create quality, value-added products to meet the needs of domestic and international markets.” Nonetheless, when considering the question of “what works” Vietnam’s meteoric growth in aquaculture production speaks for itself. From private industry to national aquaculture planning, examples of failure (oftentimes expensive failure) abound. It’s time to focus on “what works.” — C.
