Economic feasibility of recirculating aquaculture systems in pangasius farming

Abstract: This study aims to analyze the economic feasibility of recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) in pangasius farming in Vietnam. The study uses a capital budgeting approach and accounts for uncertainty in key parameters. Stochastic simulation is used to simulate the economic performance of medium and large farms operating with a traditional system or RAS. Data are obtained through structured surveys and a workshop in the Mekong River Delta. Results show that for large farms, net present value increases from an … Show more

“…The catfish Pangasius sp. cultured in recirculation system resulted a higher production volume and NPV that was two-fold higher than those cultured in traditional system (Ngoc et al, 2016). The culture of scallop Clamys farreri and seaweed Laminaria japonica with integrated multi trophic aquaculture (IMTA) system resulted NPV that was 1.5 to 2-fold higher than monoculture system (Yu et al, 2017).…”
