1. INTRODUCTION
Previously known as the Aquatic Resources Practice Room, under Decision No. 6404/QD-ĐHCT as part of the project to upgrade Can Tho University, it has now been established as the Advance Environmental Technology laboratory. This specialized laboratory supports teaching and research activities. The laboratory operates regularly, providing opportunities for students and learners to practice and conduct experiments, reinforcing theoretical knowledge, supporting specialized courses, and serving the scientific research needs of both faculty and students.
