(Ca Mau) and VIET HAI CO. (Ca Mau) revealed impressive success of these enterprises in aquaculture and seafood processing. Large enterprises like these started to invest significantly in advanced technologies and R&D works. The ARD program and the School of Biotechnology (IU) will therefore invest more efforts in the following areas in order to assist the industry:Utilization of fisheries processing wastes (fish blood, fish skin, shrimp heads and shells)Production of aquafeeds using by-products from processing plants (fish meal, fish oil, etc.)Development of a standard protocol and certification program for eco-labelled shrimp farming in mangrove forest.Development of marine fish farming for Ca Mau provinceDomestication of Penaeus shrimps for sustainable production of quality postlarvaeJune 12 - 15, 2010EXPLORING INDUSTRIAL NEEDS IN SEAFOOD PROCESSING AND AQUACULTUREIU staff (Dr. Hoang Tung, Dr. Pham Quoc Tuan and Dr. Hoang Le Son) joined a working group that includes 7 Norwegian scientists and 2 lecturers of Nha Trang University for visiting and working with a number of large fish processing/aquaculture enterprises in the Mekong Delta such as Nam Viet Co., Minh Phu Co. The purpose of this trip is to learn emerging needs of the industry for technology development or transfer.June 1, 2010NEW PROJECT SUPPORTED BY CARD PROGRAMCARD Program (Ausaid) agrees to fund a project proposed by ARD and Dr. Hoang Tung to disseminate the research outcomes of the previous successful CARD VIE 062/04 Project (2005-2007). Key activities of the present project include (i) the publication of a technical guidelines for constructing and operating SMART floating raceways for advanced nursing of marine fish, (ii) the establishment of a SMART floating raceway model at IU for training students and farmers and (iii) the organization of a traning workshop for 20 trainees. This project starts in July and finish by the end of 2010.May 24, 2010:COLLABORATION WITH NORWEGIAN EXPERTS TO ADRESS EMERGING PROBLEMS OF VIETNAM ENTERPRISESIU-ARD will be hosting a working visit of scientists from Norwegian University of Science and Technology (Norway) and SINTEF in November 2010. This mission to the Mekong Delta is to explore posibility for partnership in research and, where possible, business in fisheries waste utilization, e.g. chitin, chitosan, collagen, gelatin, etc. The IU team represents by Dr. Hoang Tung, Dr. Hoang Le Son and Dr. Dang Quoc Tuan.May 4, 2010:IU SIGNED MOU WITH ASPASYAN TO DEVELOP MARICULTURE AND MARINE BIOTECHNOLOGY IN VIETNAMIU-ARD to assist AsPasYan in developing a state-of-the-art mariculture system that adresses the carbon footprint. The system will be built in Vung Tau using CO2 supply from a power plant for algal production. Harvested algae is used for production of amino acids, fatty acids or cosmetic products. Some will be used to make aquafeeds that go into a modern RAS. Fish wastes from this RAS is in turn used as fertilizers for algal production. AsPasYan agrees to provide scholarships and employment opportinities for ARD students . Other key partners include Prof. Zonathan Yohar and the Center for Marine Biotechnology in Baltimore, USA.Scroll down to read more news!ScholarshipsIU-VNUHCMC Scholarship: for the top 10% of students, can cover up to 100% tuition feeIU Engineering Promotion Scholarship: cover 100% tuition fee for outstanding candidates that study engineering programs at IU.MSc and PhD scholarships in the field of environment (planning, technology, management, etc.) for Vietnamese students offerred by Prince of Songkla University (Thailand).
