Therefore, the fisheries sector has become an important economic sector for Khanh Hoa province and has played an important role in restructuring agriculture and reducing poverty. An example of this achievement in Khanh Hoa is the increase in the export value from 120 million USD to 265 million USD. Aquaculture alone increased by 16% per year during the 2001 to 2007 period, contributing substantially to the local GDP and creating about 48,000 jobs (Hong Nga, 2010). From now until 2015 and with a view to 2020, Khanh Hoa province will be striving to reach a fishing output of 120,000 tonnes, including natural catching of 90,000 tonnes and aquaculture of 30,000 tonnes. The export revenue will exceed US$500 million a year (VCCI, 2010).Due to the favourable conditions, Khanh Hoa fisheries have made considerable achievements and are continuing to do so. However, the fisheries in Khanh Hoa are still open-access and multi-species fisheries in nature. The number of fishing vessels has increased significantly over time. In 2008, Khanh Hoa had 10,188 fishing vessels with a total capacity of 354,121 horsepower, equivalent to 35 hp/vessel, an increase of about 16.7% compared with 2000 (Nga, 2010). With the increase in the number of vessels, the total engine capacity of the fleet has increased remarkably - an average annual increase of 18%. By the end of 2009, the number of vessels in Khanh Hoa province was about 12,802 boats, an increase of about 26% in comparison with 2008 (DECAFIREP, 2009).
