- Investigate and evaluate the current status of harmful parasites in marine flora and fauna and microorganisms as a scientific basis for the sustainable development of marine ecosystems.
- Developing a dataset to serve the biodiversity statistics of harmful parasites, marine nematodes and marine microorganisms
- Contributing to raising awareness and understanding about marine parasites and microorganisms in warning of their harmful risks to marine life.

Theoretical results:
- The project has investigated overall parasites and microorganisms in coastal ecosystems and built a database set, sample collection of marine parasites and microorganisms in Vietnam.
- The collection of marine microorganisms: 200 strains of marine bacteria, 100 strains of marine fungi that were identified.
- Five new secondary metabolites from marine bacteria of the Vietnam’s sea (S248-1, S248-11, S248-12, S261-1 and M258-2) were identified.
- Ten compounds had cytotoxic activity; Eighteen compounds exhibited antimicrobial activity; Three compounds displayed an inhibition activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv.
- The number of published papers outperformed approved proposal. Contribute to the training of 8 PhDs and 10 MSc.
Applied results:
- Parasite and microorganisms data set and specimen set are the first and most complete scientific data for marine ecosystems in Vietnam. These are valuable documents that will be used for a long time in research, study and international cooperation.
- Data of cytotoxic, antimicrobial and antitubercular activity evaluation of 201 marine bacteria.
