The source came from the department’s Fundamentals of Instrumentation and Quality Control-FIQC Section.
While breeding baby prawns, the Gold
Coin Company will provide related breeding aids such as medicine, food,
and various techniques. The company will give the baby prawns to
Fisheries Department as a product share.
“The company will have to gain 60
percent profit and we [the department] get the remaining 40 percent
profit,” said Tun Win, Deputy-Director General of Myanmar Fisheries
Department.
“For example, if the company gets 10
little prawns, we have to gain four. Moreover, the company will have to
pay rental fees and other construction costs. We will carry out breeding
measures together with other companies who want to invest in breeding
of Vennami prawns.”
The Fisheries Department is now carrying
out the breeding of seawater baby prawns—Vennami that are less
disease-prone than saltwater tiger prawns. Currently, Myanmar is
importing Vennami from Thailand and aiming to produce those on a
commercial scale by itself.
“We imported those Vennami from
Thailand. But, Thailand didn’t share the technical aids with Myanmar.
That’s why we are now planning to breed Vennami prawns by linking with
Gold Coin Company, which knows the breeding technique. In the past,
Thailand had produced saltwater tiger prawns. Now, they [Thailand] have
change to 90 percent production of Vennami prawns. Likewise, 70 percent
of Vietnam’s production is Vennami prawns,” Tun Win said.
At present, Myanmar has three prawn breeding zones in Yangon Region.
