1.2 billion to improve the quality of domestic sturgeon seeds

According to information from the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, the functional departments of Lam Dong province have worked with Da Lat Caviar Company Limited to deploy a model of application and development of sturgeon breeds. Currently, at the sturgeon farm of Da Lat Caviar Company Limited (Sub-area 42, Dung K'No commune, Lac Duong district), experts from the Institute of Aquaculture Research III directly carry out breeding techniques and artificial seed production: Raising parent fish, selecting healthy mature parent fish, collecting sperm and eggs, fertilizing eggs, raising larvae, raising fingerlings, etc.

Accordingly, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development has just estimated a budget of nearly 1.2 billion VND, of which 30% is supported by the state budget and 70% is counterpart capital from enterprises to continue developing this model from the existing foundation. The scale of the project is to domesticate and mature 1,700 sturgeon parents from 5 years old, produce 1.5 million sturgeon fry and 1 million sturgeon fingerlings of guaranteed quality, meeting the demand for commercial farming in and outside the locality. The output of cold-water fish in Lam Dong has currently reached over 2,300 tons, with an estimated value of 450 billion VND/year. Being proactive in the source of quality sturgeon fingerlings locally will contribute to reducing production costs, improving productivity and ensuring the quality of sturgeon raised on the plateau.
