Research Institute for Aquaculture III (Institute III) has cooperated with USC University (Australia) to implement the project to improve production of high value sea cucumber through molecular technology. The project has successfully produced rare and precious white sea cucumber varieties, opening up opportunities for aquaculture farmers in the province.

Open up livelihood opportunities Currently, the farming of sea cucumbers in Vietnam needs 20 million breeds of sea cucumbers, but in the country, it is only active about 1 million breeds of sea cucumbers to serve the needs of the farmers, while the white sea cucumber breeds have. 5 times the value of sand sea cucumber is still difficult. To study the breeding of white-breasted sea cucumber, Institute III collaborated with USC University to implement the project to improve production of high-value sea cucumber through molecular technology. Raising white-breasted sea cucumbers by cages in Van Ninh sea. With the use of a hormone produced at USC University, extracted from the nerves of the sea cucumber itself, then transplanted into yeast to multiply on a large scale in the laboratory, effectively stimulating reproduction. High and does not affect the health of white-breasted sea cucumber parents. Dr. Nguyen Dinh Quang Duy – project manager said: Using hormones instead of traditional methods has stimulated the reproduction of white breasted sea cucumber successfully. The project has produced nearly 20,000 breeders for commercial experiments and breeding trials on cages in Khanh Hoa, Quang Ninh with 3 households participating. Commercial white sea cucumber. Mr. Nguyen Duc Thoai (Dam Mon village, Van Thanh commune, Van Ninh district) raised white-breasted sea cucumber experiment on cages said, after 8 months of raising, from the breed with a weight of about 0.3 grams increased to gain amount of 60 grams, survival rate reached 92%. The successful production of white-breasted sea cucumber will open up opportunities to create livelihoods for aquaculture farmers in the province in the near future. Reduce natural extraction pressure According to the leaders of the Fisheries Department, the successful production of white sea cucumber will help diversify aquatic breeds, reduce the pressure of natural exploitation, especially serving the strategic direction of fisheries development of the province during the period. next time; At the same time, contributing to environmental protection … However, white sea cucumber is often distributed at a depth of tens of meters, so the stocking in cages at low depths, whether it really brings efficiency is required. specific reviews. In this regard, scientists believe that, before, white-breasted sea cucumber distributed a lot in shallow areas. However, due to the rarity and overexploitation, sea cucumbers have higher and higher depth distribution. Therefore, raising white-breasted sea cucumber in the cage is very positive, helping to improve the environment very well. Currently, the output of white-breasted sea cucumber is mainly purchased by Vietnam Sea cucumber Joint Stock Company. “Products of Vietnam Sea cucumber Joint Stock Company 90% for export markets: Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan and in the near future will expand markets in the US, China … Besides processing dried sea cucumber. , the company also produces products that consumers can slice using fresh. Currently, the company boosts purchasing in Khanh Hoa and Phu Yen. The company can afford to buy products for white-breasted sea cucumber farmers, ”said Mr. Le Thanh Nhan – Chairman and General Director of Vietnam Sea cucumber Joint Stock Company. FLASH LA
