Increase economic value

Mudskippers are a characteristic aquatic species of Ca Mau province, possessing high economic value but gradually becoming depleted due to environmental changes. The research project on conservation and commercial farming of marine mudskippers by authors Tran Thanh Lam, Dinh Minh Quang, and Nguyen Huu Duc Ton, lecturers at Bac Lieu University and the Faculty of Education, Can Tho University, not only contributes to the conservation of this native species but also opens up new avenues for production for people in the province.

Dr. Tran Thanh Lam, a lecturer at Bac Lieu University, presented to students the research results of his project on the conservation and commercial farming of mudskipper fish.

Dr. Tran Thanh Lam, lecturer at Bac Lieu University and co-author of the research project, said: "Currently, the group has conducted relatively complete research on the nutritional characteristics, reproduction, population structure, and reproductive behavior of the fish. This is an initial success, creating a foundation for artificial reproduction and raising of fry and fingerlings to supply people for commercial farming."

In line with the trend of green development and circular economy, a research group led by Dr. Mai Nhu Phuong from the Faculty of Agriculture and Fisheries, Bac Lieu University, has applied an extract of Ageratum conyzoides L. (also known as stinkweed) to stimulate resistance to bacterial leaf blight in rice plants, achieving high efficiency and cost savings. Dr. Mai Nhu Phuong shared that experimental results show the solution is very effective, helping plants develop disease resistance. Importantly, it is easy for farmers to implement at home, and the materials are readily available and abundant in nature. The solution not only contributes to environmental protection but also helps reduce production costs for farmers by approximately 2 million VND/hectare.

Dr. Mai Nhu Phuong instructed students on how to use extracts from stinkweed to prevent bacterial and fungal diseases in rice.

Associate Professor Dr. Tien Hai Ly , Vice Rector of Bac Lieu University, stated that the university has always identified three main pillars: education, scientific research, and community service. Based on this foundation, the number of research projects and innovative ideas has consistently increased year after year.
