1. Integrated aquaculture systems as climate smart
aquaculture and ecosystem based biotechnology:
potentials for scaling out in Vietnam

4. Different role of biotechnologies in
aquaculture systems
High input/high intensity systems
• Smart seeds: genetically
engineering
• Smart aquafeeds: microbial
functions; recirculation aquaculture
systems; aquaponics;
• Disease control/vacination
• Advanced technologies
• Large scale commercial production
• High costs
Low input low intensity systems
• Smart facility and system
design:
• Polyculture and integrated
aquaculture systems
• Traditional technologies
• Small scale suitability
• Low costs
9. Conclusions
• Climate change increases risks of aquaculture
production in Vietnam;
• Choice of technologies by producers are
diverse, ranging from high inputs/advance
technologies/production systems to low
input/traditional and integrated production
systems
• Integrated and polyculture systems are resilient
to climate change and should be investigated to
support small scale and resource poor farmers
Do we recommend small scale farmers go to high input/high intensity and high risks
Or low input/low intensity and low risks and stable income and productivity systems?
