Overview of Shrimp Culture in Viet NamThe main farmed shrimp species in Vietnam are Penaeus monodon, P. merguiensis and Metapenaeus ensis. The most important species for shrimp culture is P. monodon.In the last decade shrimp culture has rapidly developed as shown in the following figures: • The post-larvae (PL) production: Between 2000 and 2004, the number of hatcheries grew from 2,669 to 5,094; the amount of PL from 10,000 and 25,900 M, respectively. • The area for shrimp culture: The area in 2000 was 224,407 ha and in 2004 the total area was 592,585ha (47,477ha of intensive and semi-intensive culture and 545.108ha of extensive culture, including or-ganic culture). • The total production of shrimp: The total production in 2000 was 104,519 mt and increased to 295,660 mt (290,501 mt for P. monodon and P. merguiensis) in 2004.2.

It was first imported into Bac Lieu province on January 4th, 2001 from Taiwan, while broodstocks and postlarvae were imported from Taiwan, Ha-waii and Main Land of ChinaThe total PL production is small coming from provinces of Quang Ninh (150 mln), Phu Yen (71 mln), Ha Tinh (35 mln), Binh Dinh (20 mln), Bac Lieu (8 mln).The area of vannamei culture is still very limited.The production is very small. The shrimps are cultured in provinces of Quang Ngai (800 MT), Phu Yen (615 MT), Binh Dinh (167 MT), Quang Tri (150 MT), Thua Thien-Hue (24 MT), Ninh Binh (10 MT), and Quang Ninh, Binh Thuan, Dong Nai.4.
