Our study aimed to investigate the acidity status of mangrove soils in the ecological shrimp system to forecast their potential acidification risks. Results indicated that there were slight increases of soil acidity. High content (>5%) of soil organic carbon (SOC) in the depth of 0 – 80 cm is one of the main contributors to soil pH buffering capacity, and may help reduce sharply soil acidity changes.

In order to overcome the limitation of land available for aquaculture in the central costal region of Vietnam and to reduce organic pollution in traditional integrated fish farming, a new method was developed called the ‘improved VAC’ In traditional VAC systems the manure from farm animals is released into fish ponds whereas in the ‘Improved VAC’ the manure is used for earthworm culture. The worm production is then used to feed high value fish species in tanks.
