Spinibarbus fish is a rare and precious fish, distributed naturally in the middle and upper reaches of major rivers in the Northern provinces, such as Lo, Gam and Mien rivers. Currently, the fish has been listed in the Red Book of Urgent Protection, Level V. This is a late maturing species, after about 10 years, the fish  start spawning, but the survival rate is low, only about 30% to 40%. Face with that situation, in order to protect precious genetic resources, Ha Giang Fisheries Center, with the help of Aquaculture Research Institute 1, has successfully implemented techniques for fish to spawn artificially and center to become the first unit to master the technique of breeding and artificial reproduction of Spinibarbus fish, thanks to that, Ha Giang takes the initiative in the source of seed to develop the  Spinibarbus fish farming, and at the same time protects the precious genetic resources of Ha Giang natural fish.

The reputation of Ha Giang suddenly comes from the synthesis of natural factors, seed sources, and the care process. Ha Giang Spinibarbus fish has been raised by the Tay people for a long time, so it is adapted to the water temperature in Ha Giang, the fish is healthy, the survival rate is high.
