Project Information

The project is proposed to the Danish government for funding and scheduled to be implemented from April 2011 to April 2014. The main objectives of the project are to assess the impacts of climate change to aquaculture in Northern Vietnam, and propose adapting measures for sustaining aquaculture development and improving biosecurity.

The project is managed by CEDMA/RIA1 as the main responsible institution in collaboration with other institutes and universities in the field of research. Expected outputs of the project are:

• Impacts of climate change to aquaculture area, infrastructure, and commercial aquaculture species (predicting and adapting GIS models)
  
• Increased biosecurity including disease of commercial fish species and food safety (prevention and treatment strategies and food safety regulation)
  
• Sustained livelihood for aquaculture farmers including policy recommendation; adapting measures reports (adapting techniques, demonstrations).
