Vietnam mixed species - trawl

Primary tabs

Overview

The Roundtable of Feed and Fishmeal companies has been initiated by end of 2016 by feed manufacturers and their suppliers to address the most concern of the feed sector regarding responsible sourcing of marine ingredients. In 2017, with support from Ba Ria-Vung Tau provincial People's Committee, Department of Agriculture & Rural Development and its affiliate - Sub-Department of Fisheries, Ba Ria - Vung Tau Fishmeal and Fish Oil Association has been recognised by authorities, a fishery improvement project (hereby called FIP Vung Tau) has been developed since then. In June 2020, FIP Vung Tau registered on FisheryProgress as Prospective FIP for trawl fisheries in Ba Ria - Vung Tau province, with 10 participants (4 feed companies and 6 fishmeal companies in Ba Ria - Vung Tau province). FIP Vung Tau has defined 5 'other species' as target stocks, including Greater lizardfish (Saurida tumbil); Blunt-nose lizardfish (Trachinocephalus myops); Sulphur goatfish (Upeneus sulphureus); Bigeye scad (Selar crumenophthalmus); and Yellowtail scad (Atule mate). Trawl fleets registered with Ba Ria - Vung Tau authorities and ones that land in ports in Ba Ria - Vung Tau that fishmeal producers are sourcing their incoming materials are covered by this FIP. Background studies and data collection for evaluation of PIs will be conducted in the waters under administration of Ba Ria - Vung Tau province.  

FIP Description 

The Roundtable of Feed and Fishmeal companies has been initiated by end of 2016 by feed manufacturers and their suppliers to address the most concern of the feed sector regarding responsible sourcing of marine ingredients.

FIP Objective(s) 

By 31 December 2024, the Vietnam mixed species - trawl FIP (also known as FIP Vung Tau) will achieve following objectives:

  1. A practical multi-species stock assessment guidance (based on possible and existing trawl fisheries data) is developed.

  2. The data about trawl fisheries in Ba Ria - Vung Tau province is collected, analysed, assessed and shared with key stakeholders.

  3. Group of indicator species for trawl fisheries in Ba Ria - Vung Tau are defined and stock assessment is done. Management measures are incorporate into the trawl fisheries management plan.

  4. Impact of the trawl fishery on ETP species, critical habitats and ecosystem in Ba Ria - Vung Tau province is known. Management measures are incorporate into the trawl fisheries management plan.

  5. A trawl fishery co-management team with personnel from leading agencies is formed.

  6. A comprehensive trawl fisheries management plan for Ba Ria - Vung Tau is developed by the fishery co-management team will be handled over to the Fisheries Sub-Department of Ba Ria - Vung Tau province for implementation.
