Abstract
  • From 1991 to 2003, number of fishing boats increased from 43,940 to 83,122. The average power per boat increased from 18HP/boat to 49.3HP/boat. Fishing productivity seems to be gradually decreased from 0.89ton/HP to 0.35ton/HP. In this period, the yield of marine fisheries has been constantly increased with an annual average of 5.73%. Last year, it reached 1.426 million tons in which 873,000 tons was from coastal fishing while the limit is about 600,000 tons. That means there was a fishing overcapacity from coastal waters. The current situation of development and management of Vietnam marine fisheries is presented. Its disadvantages and weaknesses are clearly identified. Vietnamese government determined to improve its existing fisheries management to obtain a sustainable one. Well planned strategies to make its fisheries better are clearly stated. Important policies like Zero and preservative policies will be enforced. The government even gives up some its controls to private sectors. More detailed suggestions are presented.
