AQUA MINA AMONG 20 OUTSTANDING PRESENTATIONS AT THE WORKSHOP ON APPLYING SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF VIETNAM’S AQUATIC PRODUCTS

AQUA MINA is honored to have its presentation selected as one of the 20 outstanding presentations at the conference “Applying Science and Technology to Improve the Quality of Vietnamese Fisheries,” organized by the Faculty of Fisheries at Vietnam National University of Agriculture.
 
At the event, Architect Vũ Hồng Thái, Technical Director of AQUA MINA, will deliver a presentation titled “Architectural Thinking in Aquaculture: Designing Well-Planned Farms for Optimal Operations in the Industrial Age.”
 
AQUA MINA’s participation in this scientific and technological forum provides an opportunity to share practical insights into a factor that directly affects production efficiency but is sometimes overlooked: farm design and planning.
 
 
When Design Becomes the Foundation of Efficiency
 
An efficient aquaculture farm begins with more than quality seed stock, farming protocols, or equipment. Its performance also depends on how the site is planned, how water resources are managed, and how technical systems are integrated from the design stage.
 
From settling ponds, treatment ponds, and grow-out ponds to water supply and drainage systems, electrical infrastructure, technical areas, and aeration equipment, every component must be planned around actual operating requirements.
 
A poorly coordinated design can result in overlapping pipework, unsuitable equipment placement, and difficulties with inspection and maintenance. When a farm needs to expand or change its production model, modifications may also incur additional costs and disrupt operations.
 
By contrast, sound planning from the outset gives farmers greater control over environmental management, streamlines daily tasks, and establishes a foundation for system upgrades as production needs change.
 
Shrimp Farm Design Must Go Hand in Hand with Technology
 
For intensive, super-intensive, and high-tech shrimp farming, farm design and equipment systems must be developed together.
 
Paddlewheel aerators, air blowers, bottom aeration systems, automatic feeders, monitoring devices, and water treatment systems must be selected and positioned according to pond area, stocking density, equipment capacity, and operating procedures.
 
When the site layout and equipment are designed as an integrated system, operations can become more efficient, supporting better control of dissolved oxygen, water circulation, and water quality while reducing unnecessary tasks during routine farm management.
 
Planning these elements from the outset also makes equipment easier to inspect, maintain, and replace when necessary.
 
From Farm Design to an Integrated Operating System
 
The perspective AQUA MINA will share at the conference is that modern aquaculture farm design involves more than building ponds or choosing equipment. It is a process of integrating the site layout, water resources, technical infrastructure, equipment, and management procedures into a unified system.
 
A well-planned farm should enable proactive control of water resources and environmental conditions, optimize equipment performance, reduce electricity, water, and labor costs, strengthen biosecurity, and support automation and data management.
 
The system should also accommodate maintenance, upgrades, and expansion as production requirements change.
 
This is an important foundation for high-tech shrimp farming, Biofloc, recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), and other water-recirculation models attracting interest as the aquaculture sector evolves.
 
Science and Technology Begin with a Properly Designed System
 
Vietnam’s fisheries and aquaculture sector is gradually moving from production methods based largely on experience toward management models guided by standardized procedures, technology, and data.
 
Throughout this transition, technology can deliver its full benefits only within a suitably planned system. Even advanced equipment may struggle to perform optimally if its installation location, capacity, pipework, power supply, and operating procedures have not been coordinated.
 
Farm design should therefore be viewed as part of a production strategy, rather than simply a preparatory step before construction.
 
For AQUA MINA, this approach also provides the basis for addressing aquaculture projects more comprehensively—from site planning and operating procedures to selecting and positioning equipment that meets each farm’s actual needs.
