Acknowledgments We would like to express special thanks to the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) for funding the Uplands Program (SFB 564). We should also thank the DAAD
(Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst) the Ministry of Science and Technology of Vietnam,
and the North–south Center (European Centre for Global Interdependence and Solidarity) for their
co-funding. We are grateful to Mrs. Nguyen Thi Luong Hong and Mr. Kim Van Van, both heads of
the Aquaculture Department at the Hanoi University of Agriculture, for their support. Special
thanks also go to Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Tuan, who supported the sub-project as a field assistant, Ph.D.
student and supervisor of other students during the research. The project gained tremendously due
to the courage and support shown by the field assistants and students in Vietnam. Special thanks to
the farmers who collaborated with us in Yen Chau district – for their hospitality and trust, and for
giving us the opportunity to gain a close insight into their way of life. Last but not least, we thank
Peter Lawrence for his editing and Mark Prein for reviewing this book chapter. We also would like
to thank Gary Morrison for reading through the English, and Peter Elstner for helping with the
layout.
