| Summary |
This report is intended to aid those involved in development planning to gain some appreciation of Cambodian fisheries and their importance for food security, for nutrition, as a basis for many people's livelihoods and as a key element of the economy. The report covers the dependence of fisheries on the environment and the natural flow regime of rivers and describes the main features of Cambodia's inland waters. It covers the diversity of species, some aspects of inland capture fisheries and aquaculture, and current fishery management and law. Finally, it discusses the main threats to fisheries and and the ways they should be addressed by those involved directly in fisheries, by those in other sectors and by those responsible for development planning |
