The agriculture industry in Bac Lieu Province has advised farmers to postpone shrimp-breeding until the end of July to avoid the wide spread risk of contamination that has resulted in dead shrimps in the Mekong Delta.
During changing weather from dry to rainy season, shrimps face a very high risk of contamination to various kinds of diseases.
People have already completed shrimp breeding in almost 125,000 hectares of the shrimp area in the province.
So far, 15,000 hectares have suffered from dead shrimps, leaving hundreds of households in debt.
