This practical manual "Guide to establishment of community-based aquaculture management groups" was prepared by the national team of Vietnam under the ASEAN Foundation supported project "Strengthening capacity of small holder ASEAN aquaculture farmers for competitive and sustainable aquaculture".
This manual is intended for the use by the current and prospective small-scale farmer groups who are interested in obtaining accreditation for their production process.
