RE: Going fishing on Tam Giang Lagoon

in Worldmappin3 years ago (edited)

A great place to spend a holiday on. That looks interesting! I live in Cambodia. You know, The fish harvest in Cambodia may not always be enough to meet demand, however. To deal with this problem, as well as increase their profit, some farmers have started their own fish farms by turning one or more of their fields into a fish pond. In Cambodia there are several provinces where fish farms can be found nowadays. One of them is Kampong Chhnang, about 90 kilometres northwest of Phnom Penh, where freshwater fish are produced. Such an investment has both advantages and disadvantages. Although it may be a pleasure to fish in rivers and lakes, fish farms provide a reliable production is one advantage. Another is that fish from fish farms are cheaper than those caught from rivers and lakes. My house is located nearby the river too, but it still hard for me to go fishing. I appreciate you.

I have been in Tonle Sap once and I saw people living on it with some fish cages as well. I think they are raising freshwater fish. In my area fish farms are on brackish water so different kinds of fish are available. It is good to hear that you have a sustainable source of fish. We are doing the same trying to maintain our source of aquatic products. I love Siem Riep and I want to be back one day.
