Abstract

The Mekong Delta lies in the southern part of Vietnam and covers 3.96 million km 2 (12% of the country area). It brings about 500 billion m3 of water annually through the two major river branches and a cross-network of secondary river canals favorable to aquaculture. Approximately 80% of farm households in the Mekong Delta region have their own small pond garden and canal for aquaculture. Integrating homelot to garden, pond, and livestock is a traditional approach to family food production in the rural areas since 1960s. This family managed farming system can be found in a variety of agroecological condition, including irrigated lowlands, rainled uplands and urban areas. Generally 30-60% of the family income is derived from the system.
