According to the report of the Hanoi Department of Livestock, Fisheries and Veterinary Medicine, the current potential of the city's aquaculture surface is 30,840 hectares, including 6,706 hectares of small ponds, 4,327 hectares of large reservoirs, 19,807 hectares and many large rivers such as the Red River, Da River, Duong River... that can be used for aquaculture and exploitation. At the same time, Hanoi also has many lakes distributed in districts, towns, some of which have large areas such as Suoi Hai Lake (1,000 hectares), Dong Mo (1,400 hectares), Quan Son (782 hectares)... These lakes have high value in regulating water for agricultural production and preserving biodiversity.
In recent years, large-scale concentrated aquaculture areas have been formed in the city in the districts of Phu Xuyen, Ung Hoa, My Duc, Thanh Oai, Thanh Tri... The aquaculture area in 2023 reached 24,500 hectares, mainly fish farming area; aquaculture output reached 127,400 tons. In the first 6 months of 2024, the total aquatic product output in the city is estimated at 58,800 tons, an increase of 3.5% over the same period in 2023.
However, aquatic species living naturally in river systems, lakes, canals, low-lying fields... are seriously declining in both quantity and output, due to exploitation and fishing activities using electric shock, using nets of incorrect sizes... In addition, the water environment of ponds, lakes, rivers, canals is polluted by wastewater; drugs, chemicals used in agriculture have negatively affected the reproduction and development of aquatic species. Therefore, in recent years, the output of exploited aquatic products in Hanoi has tended to decrease gradually.
To protect and develop aquatic resources in the area, the Hanoi Department of Animal Husbandry, Fisheries and Veterinary Medicine has promoted propaganda on the protection of aquatic resources, on the prohibition of the use of electric shocks, toxic electric shocks, explosives and some prohibited fishing gears for aquatic exploitation; organized training courses on legal regulations on the management of alien species and invasive alien aquatic species; coordinated with the People's Committees of communes to release tens of thousands of red-eyed carp, black carp, silver carp, etc. to restore resources in the Tich River, Bui River, Da River, Red River, Duong River, Day River, Yen Stream, etc.
Within the framework of the program, the Department of Animal Husbandry, Fisheries and Veterinary Medicine in coordination with the Vietnam Buddhist Sangha, the People's Committee of Bo De Ward, Long Bien District organized the release of fish to restore aquatic resources in the Red River, Bo De Pagoda, Bo De Ward, Long Bien District. This is a practical activity demonstrating the role and responsibility of all levels and sectors in restoring and developing natural aquatic resources. Thereby, it aims to propagate to the community not to exploit aquatic resources in a destructive manner; to launch and arouse a movement for the whole population to participate in protecting, restoring and restoring aquatic resources, contributing to environmental protection and biodiversity.
Speaking at the conference, Deputy Director of the Hanoi Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Ta Van Tuong requested the Department and functional units of the Department to continue to strengthen guidance and direction for localities on the protection of aquatic resources and the release of fish in the area. At the same time, implement models and projects on the protection and development of aquatic resources with the participation of the community. Coordinate with localities and the Buddhist Sangha to continue to pay attention and direct the release of fish to restore aquatic resources in Hanoi; coordinate with functional units to inspect, detect and strictly handle the trading, storage, transportation and use of explosives, toxic substances, and electric shocks for aquatic resource exploitation, especially the inspection and handling of violations in aquatic resource exploitation on large rivers bordering provinces.
Along with that, the Department will also continue to guide and direct units to seriously and effectively implement the Strategy for Fisheries Development of Hanoi City to 2030, with a vision to 2045; guide and promulgate the Plan for protection and development of aquatic resources in the city.
