2019 - Vietnam - Phu My - Vung Tau - 26 of 31

            After our visit to Vung Tau, the tour bus returned to the Port of Phu My via Oyster Island (Long Son island).

Th island is famous for high-quality oyster farms and river villages.

Long Son has an area of 92 square kilometres with 54 square kilometres on the mainland and the rest salt fields.

Thanks to its proximity to the  sea, Long Son waters have favourable natural conditions for oyster farming, with year-round warm temperatures and acceptable salt levels.

Long Son farmers raise oysters in cages and on pales. The aquaculture does not require large investments but it generates high income for locals.

No feed is needed to raise oysters because they grow by absorbing various ephemeral organisms.

Oysters raised in Long Son commune are sold at farms and often processed into dishes to serve tourists at some floating houses on the Rang river.

Recently local oyster breeders have faced many poor yields as the river water is affected by hazardous waste from surrounding factories.
