HANOI (Vietnam News/Asia News Network): Many farmers in southern Ba Ria-Vung Tau province have taken advantage of old rubber tyres for oyster farming, posing health and environmental hazards, the provincial Fisheries Sub-Department has said.
The department said it has asked local farmers to stop using this method but the cost of old rubber tyres is much cheaper than that of traditional materials and there are currently no regulations banning this type of farming.
