Abstract
In Mekong Delta’s southern provinces, Bac Lieu and Ca Mau,
the rural livelihoods are mainly based on fi sheries and shrimp
farming. The main shrimp farming systems are intensive and
improved extensive, of which the last may be integrated or
associated with mangrove. Integrated means that most ponds
are canals amidst stretches of mangrove, while in associated
shrimp-mangrove systems the mangrove forest is a large plot
clearly separated from the pond areas.
