| Abstract | Vietnam is undergoing rapid industrialization and there is a concern in environmental problems as well as developing the economy. An Giang province where is the first enter of Mekong river into Vietnam contributes an important roles in the development of Vietnam economy. With the favourable natural condition, the provincial economy structures are mostly in fishery and agriculture. In the recent years, Pagasius Bocourti and Pangasius Hypophthalwunus, popularly known as Tra - Basa fish are the main products of fish industry in the province. This study aims to find a solution in sustainable development for the province by applying the "Industrial Ecology" concept in fishery industry which is the one of the most important industries in the province in order to create a model in both economic - environmental benefited development. All of available industries in the province were investigated through the quantitative and qualitative examination. The alternative fuel industry that used fish fat as input material also was studied and connected to the Eco-Industrial Network. The results from analysing a simple Cleaner Production in representative fish processing company was used to quantitative the material flow for the proposed Network by applying the fish components percentage: fish fillet (32%), fish skin (4%), fish stomach (8%), fish bladder (14%), redundant fish (17%), fish bone and head (12%). All of wastes and by-products of this process can be recycled or reused in others industries such as fish feed industry; animal feed industry etc inside the Fish based Eco-Industrial Network. Hence, other agro-based industries as well as alternative fuel industries are connected to set up this Network. Moreover, this study also explored and investigated the actual polices, legislations condition in both national/local level in order to find better management solutions. |
