Abstract:Vietnam's seafood processing industry, in the specific, and the agricultural industry, in general, has gained many benefits and achievements to contribute to the GDP growth of Vietnam in recent years. Using qualitative analysis, synthesis, and inductive methods, with statistic data, this study examines the theories of inter-industry clusters or groups views applied in the agriculture and seafood processing industry, esp in a case study of the Tra fish (Pangasius hypophthalmus) in Mekong Delta River in Vietnam.… Show more
“…However, in recent years, when pangasius exports to some major markets were congested due to disease testing and social distancing, businesses have smartly turned to some other potential markets such as China -Hong Kong, USA, CPTPP, EU, Brazil. [23,24] The export of Tra catfish products, mainly frozen fillets, to the EU market has decreased significantly in the past 10 years from 2010 to 2020 (an average of 11 % per year) due to the negative influence of the market for this species. For example, an EU politician made false claims about fish safety, farming sustainability, and labor issues that resulted in the species being put on the Red List by the World Wildlife Fund in 2010.…”

Aquaculture of Tra catfish (Pangasius hypophthalmus) of Mekong Delta has a record production of 1,525 million tons in 2022. It is one of the largest single‐species based farming systems that is restricted to a small geographical area, in the world. The product (frozen fillets) that has been exported to over 138 countries with a value of about 1.6 billion USD is an acceptable alternative to white fish. Tra catfish is farmed in earthen ponds, up to 4 m in deep, in nine provinces in the Mekong Delta in South Vietnam. Over the years, the Tra catfish farming and processing industry in Vietnam has been constantly developed and become a spearhead economic sector of Vietnam which has become a leading part of international economic integration. However, due to the global impact of the Covid‐19 epidemic with increasing competition pressure and product quality requirements, the Tra catfish industry is facing both challenges and opportunities. Therefore, in this paper, the Tra catfish such as species, anatomical composition, and chemical composition is briefly reviewed. After that, the value chain of Tra catfish in the Mekong Delta as well as demand forecasting and development orientation in the future is further analyzed.

“…and other species (bullfrogs, jellyfish, etc. ), are the third largest source of food protein for human consumption after cereals and milk, accounting for 16.4% of the total animal protein supply ( 1 , 2 ). Among them, fish are the dominant species of farmed and harvested aquatic products worldwide, accounting for more than 40% of the aquaculture industry.…”
Diseases are a significant impediment to aquaculture’s sustainable and healthy growth. The aquaculture industry is suffering significant financial losses as a result of the worsening water quality and increasing frequency of aquatic disease outbreaks caused by the expansion of aquaculture. Drug control, immunoprophylaxis, ecologically integrated control, etc. are the principal control strategies for fish infections. For a long time, the prevention and control of aquatic diseases have mainly relied on the use of various antibiotics and chemical drugs. However, long-term use of chemical inputs not only increases pathogenic bacteria resistance but also damages the fish and aquaculture environments, resulting in drug residues in aquatic products, severely impeding the development of the aquaculture industry. The development and use of aquatic vaccines are the safest and most effective ways to prevent aquatic animal diseases and preserve the health and sustainability of aquaculture. To give references for the development and implementation of aquatic vaccines, this study reviews the development history, types, inoculation techniques, mechanisms of action, development prospects, and challenges encountered with aquatic vaccines.
“…Processing and preservation is an attempt to improve the quality of storage and durability of postharvest fishery products [8]− [10]. The purpose of this activity in principle is to overcome excess production and at the same time maintain the quaity of fish before it is marketed or consumed, increase the marketability of fish, as a food diversification material and to extend the shelf life.…”

“…The purpose of this activity in principle is to overcome excess production and at the same time maintain the quaity of fish before it is marketed or consumed, increase the marketability of fish, as a food diversification material and to extend the shelf life. Fish processing and preservation is an important part of the fishery industry chain [5], [8], [11]. Without these two processes, the increase in fish production that has been achieved so far will be in vain, because not all fishery production can be utilized by consumers in good condition.…”
<span>The catch of fish is so large and often not completely sold, causing the fish to be wasted for free. This situation even indirectly causes environmental pollution around the area where fishermen live. To overcome this problem, a fish drying machine was made using a PV system. This tool is also a form of solving the problem of the traditional fish drying process which is sometimes not clean, safe, and depends on direct sunlight. This PV system can meet 169.95% of the need for 240 Wh/day of electrical energy from fish dryers. PV system can produce electrical energy for 407.81 Wh/day, where the largest energy can reach 520 Wh and the smallest is 160.8 Wh. The results of the analysis of the impact of using fish dryers socially and economically also gave significant results (p<0.005), where there was an increase from before and after the use of fish dryers experienced by fishermen. When viewed from the perspective of fishermen on the tool, the accuracy of the use of the tool, the benefit factor, and the shape of the fish dryer, the fishermen gave a good response, with an average value of <br /> 4.19-5.26.</span>
