nobody can predict the future, but I do it here. I predict viet illegal fishing will be history in four year, because those fishermen will find jobs in the booming domestic factories given our economic progress, and second, there is a better way to fish. it is economically crazy to spend time, money and fuel to fish in waters far from home. risking being arrested and spent in jails.

there is a new development. viet fishers are beginning to set up mass of glass houses, where shrimps are raised. with pollution and epidemics controlled. the technology is provided by high-tech Israeli and German companies. fully automatic. the first result is very promising. shrimps grow very quick, farmers can shorten the farming time, having 3-4 crops a year, with shrimp output up to 15 times higher than farming the traditional way. it works for shrimps. so why not for fish?
the biggest disadvantage is the high investment cost. state subsidized cheap loans can help.
Have you seen the picture I posted? The pond is in glass house, where everything is controlled by computer. That is new. The taste of such fish may not be as good as free caught one but it is cheaper. And If you go to any supermarket in Germany, unless it is a special fish store, you will find 90 % are aquaculture fish, be fresh or frozen. You have the choice. Do you want pay double for free caught fish? If yes, then ok. For me, It is no difference in planting rice or fish.You mean Aquaculture? That requires more work than actually fishing in the sea and they earn a lot less. Now see why people prefer to poach and why its not going away anytime soon. To say that illegal fishing will just go away is absurd Vietnam will continue to stole our rightful resources for the next 20 years unless we stop it. Example look at us. We are the premier Aquaculture king in the region & we still have our fishermen gone rogue to poach because caught fish worth a lot more.
The problem with Aquaculture You can only farm certain type of fish and to add the quality of said fish are inferior compared to the one that's caught. As a professional fish eater I can attest that farmed fish are infinitely inferior compared to fish caught in sea. The only thing farmed fish are good for are for mass consumption and to offset the price of better quality fish.
