Summary of thesis results: The model of building production cooperatives to receive research results on aquaculture allows farmers to improve their skills, apply advanced techniques in production, and have the opportunity to receive partial financial support and access loan capital thanks to the commitment of local authorities and banking institutions. For aquaculture: Building aquaculture cooperatives to manage all stages from input to output, including: water sources, broodstock, feed, aquatic veterinary medicine, environment, disease prevention and control, and product consumption, will create proactive control over the farming environment, manage the quality of broodstock and feed, increase disease prevention capabilities, stabilize farming productivity, proactively manage product consumption, contribute to increased economic efficiency, create stable jobs, improve living standards, and maintain long-term aquaculture activities. Production linkages are seen as a miniature cooperative, where small-scale farmers are linked and organized to partner with businesses. This linkage creates benefits such as orienting production according to market demands, creating competitive and stable products; and representing individual farmers in product distribution to maximize benefits for farmers. Furthermore, linking farmers in a miniature cooperative model helps limit the supply of goods on the market if oversupply occurs. This model aims to gather a sufficiently large quantity of goods to meet the requirements of large-scale export contracts, avoiding the widespread practice of price manipulation and unfair practices, and partially saving on transportation costs. Furthermore, this collaborative model helps farmers build and protect the brand and origin of their products; creating sufficient financial resources to apply technological advancements to the production and processing of high-quality products to meet the increasingly stringent demands of domestic and international consumers. One of the most important solutions is to change perceptions and practices in aquaculture towards commodity production, gradually forming a linkage and cooperation in research, production, and consumption among the "four stakeholders": farmers, scientists, the government, and businesses. This also creates a favorable environment for the rapid application of scientific and technological advancements in production. Production cooperatives in agriculture and rural areas are common forms within the collective economic sector. They align with the requirements of production and business, and are consistent with the Party's guidelines on developing a multi-sector economy with diverse ownership structures. This is an inevitable product of commodity production. As commodity production develops and competition in the market economy intensifies, individual workers and households increasingly need to cooperate and collaborate; otherwise, survival and development will be difficult. 12. Practical application: Production cooperatives in agriculture and rural areas are common forms within the collective economic sector. They align with the requirements of production and business, and are consistent with the Party's guidelines on developing a multi-sector economy with diverse ownership structures. This is an inevitable product of commodity production. As commodity production develops and competition in the market economy intensifies, individual workers and households increasingly need to cooperate and collaborate; otherwise, they will find it difficult to survive and develop. Cooperative groups, associations, and interest groups play a crucial role in resolving the gap between small-scale, fragmented production and large-scale commodity production, meeting the requirements of industrialization and modernization. They form the foundation for the formation of cooperatives, cooperative unions, enterprises, and associations in agriculture and rural areas. Even within new-style cooperatives, cooperative groups exist and act as important "satellites," contributing to the growing strength of the cooperatives. 13. Further research directions: To improve cooperation in aquaculture production, the aquaculture sector should reorganize community management forms as follows: - Develop forms of production organization suitable to the conditions, characteristics, and skill level of the aquaculture workforce. - Forming, strengthening, and developing production unions, cooperatives, production groups, production clubs, professional associations, etc. - The content of the linkages must be implemented uniformly according to production standards, regulations, rules, and production processes, coordinating resources and human resources to guide aquaculture production towards efficiency and sustainability. 14.

Summary of the finding of the thesis: Construction of models that link production to receive research results aquaculture farmers improve their learning and application of technical advances in production and have the opportunity to support an economic fees, access to loans through the commitment of local authorities, the banking organization. For Aquaculture: Develop cooperative aquaculture management processes from input to output, including water source, seed, feed, and veterinary medicine, the environment, preventing and disease, consumption will be active and controlled environment farming areas, seed quality management, food, increase prevention, stabilization of raising productivity, consumption of active stage products, contributing to increased economic efficiency, employment stability, improving the life and work to maintain long-term aquaculture. Links can be produced as a cooperative in miniature, in which small farmers are linked and organizations together to work with business partners. The link will generate benefits will be produced under the direction of the market needs, creating goods and products that are competitive and market stable; cooperative of this type will represent individuals in consumer goods and products to ensure maximum benefit to farmers. Besides, linking farmers under the cooperative model will help minimize the number of limited supply of goods on the market if supply exceeds demand condition occurs; gathered a large quantity of goods sufficient to meet the requirements of the export contract with a large quantity of goods, avoid accidents pressure levels, ongoing price pressure is now widely and part of the cost savings will be circulated in the cargo … In addition, this model also helps to link farmers to build and protect brand, origin of products they make; generate enough financial resources to apply technological advances in production and processing of high quality products meet the rigorous demands of consumers at home and abroad. One of the most important solutions to change the perception and practice of aquaculture in the direction of commodity production, gradually establishing linkages, collaborative research - production - consumption production between the "fourth state": The Agriculture, sciences, and state enterprises. This is a favorable environment for scientific and technological advances are applied to production faster. 12. Applicability in practice: Groups linked to agriculture production and rural are the common forms of collective ownership. It fits with the requirements of business, consistent with the Party line on several economic development components with different ownership. This is the inevitable product of the manufacture of goods. Goods production grows, the competition in a market economy, these intense individual workers, these households are increasingly required to link together, if not hard to survive and develop. The cooperative groups, linked groups, interest groups play an important role in the settlement between small producers and scattered with large quantities of goods produced to meet the requirements of modernization, is the foundation for the establishment of cooperatives, cooperative unions, business associations in agriculture and rural development. In the heart of the new type of cooperative, the cooperative also exists and is the "satellite" for the important work of cooperative living growing 13. The next direction of research: To cooperate in the production of better forests, fishery towards reorganizing the management community as follows: - Building organizational forms suitable production conditions, special forces and the level of aquaculture production. - Establishing, strengthening and developing the manufacturing unions, cooperatives, cooperative groups, clubs, manufacturing, professional associations ... - Content related to comply with agreed production standards, regulations, rules, process and coordinate the resources and manpower to the direction of aquaculture production reached criterion performance, durability firm.
