Biography

Lê Anh Xuân was born on 19 May 1976 in Thanh Hóa.[8] He graduated from the University of Fisheries in Vinh – Nha Trang in 1999. After graduation, he worked for a company trading veterinary medicine for aquatic animals and moved to Bạc Liêu to distribute microbial products in the Mekong Delta provinces.[12][13][8] In 2004, he founded Trúc Anh Company.[1][14]

In 2012, Xuân obtained a master's degree in biotechnology from the Hanoi University of Science and Technology, with a thesis titled Developing a process for clean shrimp farming using microbial products instead of chemicals. The research aimed to provide a bacterial strain with antibacterial properties to treat shrimp diseases without antibiotics.

In 2017, the General Department of Fisheries of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development recognized this work as a scientific and technological advance in super-intensive farming of whiteleg shrimp. The "Trúc Anh Technology" process involved two-phase super-intensive whiteleg shrimp farming with low water exchange and was officially recognized under Decision 502/QĐ-TCTS-KHCN&HTQT, dated 3 May 2017.[15]

On 30 December 2020, he defended his doctoral thesis entitled Application of Bacillus sp. bacteria against Vibrio parahaemolyticus in industrial shrimp farming at Cần Thơ University. Based on this research, he introduced a product called Kill Para, which is used to treat acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease and early mortality syndrome in one-month-old shrimp.[4]
