The second Version of the draft better management practices for catfish farming in the Mekong Delta are now available for download. The first version of the document was developed based on analysis of an extensive farm survey. This second version has been amended based on feedback received at two stakeholder meetings held in Dong Thap and Can Tho, 6-7 and 9-10th October, respectively.

Version 2 will form the basis for discussions with all stakeholders of catfish farming to be conducted in May-June 2010 at a national workshop to be held in An Giang Province. The meeting will finalise the better management practice guidelines for implementation in the catfish farming sector. Extension materials with suitable illustrations are also being developed for wider distribution, providing practical guidance on implementation of the better management practices BMPs for each stage of the culture cycle.
