Raising healthy snakehead fish in lotus fields in Dong Thap, meat rich in protein, cell proliferation, selling for 90,000 VND/kg

After the Taiwanese lotus plants grew well, Mr. Ngo stretched fishing nets in the lotus field and released 40,000 porcupine-headed snakeheads for breeding.

After about a month, the snakehead fish grew bigger, so he removed the fishing net and let the fish go to the lotus field. At this time, Mr. Nguyen Van Ngo did not feed the snakehead fish bait but let them find their own natural food in the lotus field.

After 11 months of care, Mr. Ngo, a farmer in Phu Thanh B commune, Hong Ngu district ( Dong Thap province) harvested 3,189 kg of lotus buds and sold them for 17,000 VND/kg.

Mr. Ngo also caught 2,800 kg of commercial snakehead fish, selling at a price of 85,000 - 90,000 VND/kg. Thus, Mr. Nguyen Van Ngo's total income from lotus and snakehead fish was over 292 million VND.

After deducting all investment costs for buying snakehead fish breeds, Taiwanese lotus breeds and care costs, Mr. Nguyen Van Ngo earned a profit of over 175 million VND.
