Khe Tien village in Dong Van commune is the first place in Binh Lieu district as well as the entire Quang Ninh province to deploy a cold-water fish farming model, including Siberian sturgeon.
In 2015, the Northeast Agricultural and Fisheries Development Cooperative experimentally released 300 Siberian sturgeon fingerlings into the cold waters of Khe Tien.
Mr. Doan Dinh Kha, Director of the Cooperative, said: Khe Tien is in a high position, with many forests, which is a factor in maintaining water sources and low water temperatures.
Along with that, Khe Tien's terrain is steep, divided, and has valleys, which creates strong currents carrying large amounts of oxygen, as well as forming still water areas.
Above all, Khe Tien is very clean, the natural environment is still pristine, seemingly little affected by human hands. Therefore, I think that if the sturgeon farming model is implemented here, there will first be benefits in terms of water resources and climate, which are important factors to ensure successful fish farming.
People in Khe Tien village, Dong Van commune, Binh Lieu district (Quang Ninh province) developed a cold-water Siberian sturgeon farming model.
Relatively true to predictions, the first batch of sturgeon of the Northeast Agricultural and Fisheries Development Cooperative adapted to Khe Tien water flow, the growth rate was a bit slow, but the quality of post-harvest fish was evaluated very well. High.
Based on the initial success, in the later farming process, the Northeast Agricultural and Fisheries Development Cooperative has made basic adjustments to the water supply and drainage infrastructure system, pond infrastructure system, and farming regulations. farming process... to promote the adaptation and development of sturgeon.
Currently, the Khe Tien sturgeon farming area is designed in the direction of installing a water pipeline system directly from streams to the dam; Build water tanks, breeding tanks, and nursing tanks in a gradually lower direction like the foot of terraced fields; Build a synchronous upstream water treatment and wastewater treatment system; Use mesh cover to reduce the impact of light and temperature...
The current sturgeon farming process in Khe Tien is the VietGAP standard process. This scientific tank system has created a suitable living environment for thousands of sturgeon per year, ensuring survival rate, as well as growth and development speed, and ensuring nutritional quality.
At the end of the farming process, Khe Tien sturgeon weighs 2-5kg/fish, sells for 200.000 VND/kg, bringing in billions of VND/year in revenue.
Since the initiation of the Northeast Agricultural and Fisheries Development Cooperative, many households in Khe Tien have also boldly invested capital, area, and labor to participate in sturgeon farming, becoming cooperative members or shareholders. of the cooperative.
