Abstract: | Rural aquaculture is the farming of aquatic organisms with extensive and semi-intensive husbandry practised by small-scale
rural households for their consumption and income. From a field survey in Southeast Vietnam, using enterprise budget analysis
and nonparametric tests with indices of change, adoption, and agreement, this study justifies that rural aquaculture is a
good option for rural development, making an important contribution to farm income with a high adoption rate among poor farmers.
Fish farmers have gained an increased level of satisfaction by means of fish culture production growth along with corresponding
economic gains. This enterprise continues to play an increasing important role in their livelihoods and has potential to develop
further in the area. |
