Abstract

This study was conducted from May to August, 2015 in 5 communes including An Thanh Nam, An Thanh Ba, An Thanh Nhi, An Thanh Dong and Dai An. There were 150 households were interviewed directly through questionnaires constituting of technical and financial aspects of farming system and 5 capitals of their likelihood strategy. The results showed that white leg (WLS) is the more popular cultured species compared to tiger shrimp (TS) accounting for 80% of the total number of interviewed farmers (120 households). In particularly, the total water surface area spent for white leg shrimp culture was 0.63±0.56 ha/household and for tiger shrimp was 0.62±0.41 ha/household with the average pond areas were 0.33±0.17 and 0.35±0.14 ha respectively. The average of shrimp stocking density for WLS was 83 individual/m2 and 31 individual/m2for TS (P
