Production history in Vinh Chau area
SOCIO - ECONOMICS
2.5-3x increased incomecompared to salt production
Total income in Artemiaproduction:• Traditional model:
3,500-4,000 US $/ha
• Intensive model:6,000-7,500 US $/ha
almost 500 families involved in Artemia production in Soc Trang and Bac Lieu provinces
SALT only + ARTEMIA
1985 2010
SOCIO - ECONOMICS
Economic efficiency of Artemia culture
higher profit in 2012 & 2013 due to high market price of cyst

Cyst needs in Vietnam
today, VN hatcheries require app. 300 - 400 tons/yr (30-40 M US$)but present Artemia production covers only 5 % of the country’s needs

Take home message for this conference:
• new socio-economic opportunity for salt + Artemia production in seasonal / artisanal saltworks in (sub)tropical regions
• Artemia cysts and biomass for local aquaculture developments
• Artemia for bioremediation of highly eutrophic coastal ecosystems = extractive aquaculture
