TAILIEUCHUNG - Project Technical Report:" Development of clam culture for improvement and diversification of livelihoods of the poor coastal communities in Central Vietnam - MS4 "

The main objective of the project is to develop and expand technology clam (breeding and seed production) to maintain the livelihood of poor farmers in northern coastal The central provinces and develop a strategy to contribute sustainable fisheries environmental management by using clam aquaculture to improve shrimp farm effluent to use. In the first half of the second year, two production test clam (producing intertidal clam, clam production in the pond is crop rotation) and the parent test has been completed successfully | Ministry of Agriculture Rural Development 1 Australian Government AusAID Collaboration for Agriculture Rural Development CARD 027 05VIE Development of clam culture for improvement and diversification of livelihoods of the poor coastal communities in Central Vietnam MS04 3rd Six-Monthly Report April - October 2007 1 Table of Contents 1.
