nobody can predict the future, but I do it here. I predict viet illegal fishing will be history in four year, because those fishermen will find jobs in the booming domestic factories given our economic progress, and second, there is a better way to fish. it is economically crazy to spend time, money and fuel to fish in waters far from home. risking being arrested and spent in jails.
there is a new development. viet fishers are beginning to set up mass of glass houses, where shrimps are raised. with pollution and epidemics controlled. the technology is provided by high-tech Israeli and German companies. fully automatic. the first result is very promising. shrimps grow very quick, farmers can shorten the farming time, having 3-4 crops a year, with shrimp output up to 15 times higher than farming the traditional way. it works for shrimps. so why not for fish?
the biggest disadvantage is the high investment cost. state subsidized cheap loans can help.
