To promote and strongly develop the marine economy, Quang Ninh province continues to focus on investing in aquaculture. In 2024, the province will reorganize the aquaculture space with the goal of promoting marine aquaculture, promoting regional and inter-regional advantages in the direction of within 3 nautical miles, reducing the scale and density of aquaculture to create livelihoods, arranging stable aquaculture for farmers and fishing boat owners to switch to aquaculture; combining people's livelihood with the area to attract businesses to develop aquaculture according to the value chain. Along with that, successfully organized the Quang Ninh province's marine aquaculture investment attraction conference; after the conference, 74 organizations and individuals researching and investing in marine aquaculture proposed marine aquaculture projects.
Currently, the whole province is arranging the sea area to attract enterprises with financial potential, science and technology to invest in developing modern industrial marine aquaculture with an area of 13,400 hectares. Enterprises and cooperatives have proposed research with an area of nearly 12,000 hectares concentrated in the localities: Van Don, Cam Pha, Co To, Dam Ha, Hai Ha, Mong Cai, Ha Long. Up to now, the whole province has 1,339 marine aquaculture production establishments, with more than 150 economic organizations; has organized the granting of aquaculture licenses for 2,170 hectares to 7 organizations in Van Don district and Cam Pha city.

The province also focuses on guiding localities and units to adjust the farming structure appropriately, develop shrimp and fish farming areas applying high technology, friendly to the environment; strongly develop key farming products of shrimp and molluscs. Policies to attract focused, key, and oriented investment in the aquaculture sector have been effective, from which many large enterprises have developed in the province. There are 18 production and breeding facilities in the province, 100% of which have been granted certificates of eligibility for production and breeding facilities.
Currently, Viet Uc Quang Ninh Company Limited supplies 50% of the Company's white-leg shrimp seeds in the provincial market and 30-40% in the markets of the Northern and North Central provinces. In 2025, the Company strives to produce 1.1 billion white-leg shrimp seeds, an increase of 10% compared to 2024.

This is also the basis for reviewing the aquaculture area each year, re-identifying the main pillars of the aquaculture sector and moving towards sustainable development.
