The increase in aquatic output was attributed to the expansion of aquaculture area and growing consumer demand.

To spur aquaculture development, the provincial agriculture and rural development sector has focused on directing the application of biotechnology in selecting broodfish.

Technologies have been optimised to produce fish fries by spawning and using incubators for hatching fish eggs. Outcrossing or chemicals are also used to create purebred fish strains.

The province has expanded the area of ​​intensive fish farming and fish cages, using industrial feed, for a number of fish breeds such as carp, white carp, single-sex tilapia, and red tilapia, among others.
