For the first time, the Research Institute for Aquaculture No.1 has successfully bred yellowtail amberjack — a species highly prized in Japan for sashimi and sushi, with a market price of around 1 million VND per kilogram. The institute had previously achieved similar success with four-bearded rockling. This breakthrough marks a major step forward, opening up vast potential for large-scale marine aquaculture in Vietnam.

The Japan Foundation Centre for Cultural Exchange in Vietnam on April 21 held an event to help Vietnamese people learn more about sushi - a Japanese typical dish and how to make it.
