Although Cambodia is rich with natural fish—producing a hundred thousand tons annually—it doesn’t mean there are enough fish caught to feed the whole country.
As the Kingdom’s ever-growing population is putting a huge strain on the increasingly limited natural fish supply that
can no longer ensure the huge amount of supply needed to feed Cambodians’ mouths, aquaculture is being touted as the solution.

REGIONAL WORKSHOP ON FISHERIES AND MARINE GENETIC RESOURCES AND THEIR AMELIORATION COUNTRY STATUS REPORT: BHUTAN by Gopal Prasad Khanal Presented during the Regional Workshop on Underutilized Fish and Marine Genetic Resources and their Amelioration, 10-12 July 2019, Location: Colombo, Sri Lanka
Fishery -all the activities connected with the securing of animal and vegetable products from the earth waters.
Fishery products include such items as fish, clams, oysters, lobsters, eels, shrimps, turtles, seals, and whales. Pearl sponges, coral shells, and seaweeds are also included among the products derived from the sea. Fish provides the protein which is needed in the human diet. Fisheries are perhaps the most poorly managed of all the natural resources. The unscientific assumption that man can never exhaust the resources of the sea has placed upon nature the entire responsibility for renewal and replenishment.
Fisheries provides food security to the majority of the countries population in terms of protein and essential minerals and Vitamins as rice and fish constitute the stable diet of most Cambodians.

Evolution of fisheries sector in BangladeshMD. ZANE ALAM
Bangladesh is a densely populated country of 147 570 km2 with a population of 160
million people. It is fortunate in having an extensive water resource in the form of ponds,
natural depressions (haors and beels ), lakes, canals, rivers and estuaries covering an area
of 47,03,658 ha .
The present per capita annual fish consumption in Bangladesh stands at about 14 kg/year
against a recommended minimum requirement of 18 kg/year; hence, there is still need to
improve fish consumption in the country.
Fisheries in Bangladesh are diverse, there are about 795 native species of fish and shrimp
in the fresh and marine waters of Bangladesh and 12 exotic species that have been
introduced. In addition, there are 10 species of pearl bearing bivalves, 12 species of
edible tortoise and turtle, 15 species of crab and 3 species of lobster.
Fisheries and aquaculture sectors in Bangladesh: an overview of the present s...Premier Publishers
Fisheries sector in Bangladesh represents as one of the most productive and dynamic sectors in the country. This sector plays a significant role in food security, employment, and foreign exchange earnings in the economy. At present agricultural transformation is taking place in Bangladesh. With the changes of farming system, farmers have started to shift their crop land to aquaculture as they considered it more profitable compared to rice production. The production of inland fisheries represents an increasing trend since 1989-90 with a growth rate of around 5-7%. Similarly, marine fisheries have also shown an increasing trend while a fluctuated growth rate has emerged in this sub sector. The fisheries sector in the 21st century is facing the challenges of food security for the increasing population, habitat degradation, urbanization, and industrial development. Development of responsible fisheries management and optimal use of water bodies can address those challenges. Since fishery is a productive growth sector in Bangladesh, it has high potential to contribute in the socioeconomic development of the country.
Odisha is one of the major maritime States, offering vast scope for development of inland, brackish water and marine fisheries. The State’s 480 km long coastline with 24,000 sq. km area within the continental shelf has great potential for marine fisheries development.
The State endeavors to be a pioneer in aquaculture development & fisheries extension for ensuring food security, livelihood, welfare of fishers and employment generation.

Aquaculture Revolution in Bangladesh.pdfSadia Nabilah
Bangladesh has one of the largest and most active deltas, nourished by the Padma, Meghna, and Jamuna rivers. This increases the potential for fresh and brackish water capture and culture fisheries. Aquaculture is the fastest-growing enterprise in Bangladesh since the 1980s.
Aquaculture production is unevenly dispersed geographically with Asian countries contributing nearly 90% of global production; where, China is the largest producer in 2018, followed by India, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Bangladesh, respectively (FAO, 2020). According to FAO report The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture 2018, Bangladesh ranked 5th in world aquaculture production. The aquaculture industry has worked out towards creating new possibilities and yet has to face some future challenges due to unwise practices and knowledge gaps.
Employment opportunities in the sector are a boon as well – official statistics show that the fisheries and aquaculture sectors (directly and indirectly) support more than 18 million people. The aquaculture sector has a high potential for the perspective on the economic development of the country.
As with any livestock industry in Bangladesh, there are a number of challenges that can impact the viability of aquaculture initiatives in future. Aquaculture can be no riskier than, say, poultry farming. We have to figure out what these challenges are and how both external and internal challenges can be managed through good project design.
Generally, a fishery is an entity engaged in raising or harvesting fish which is determined by some authority to be a fishery. According to the FAO, "...a fishery is an activity leading to harvesting of fish. It may involve capture of wild fish or raising of fish through aquaculture.

Condominium Market and Outlook Report 2025 by ERA Data Intel.pdfHoem Seiha
ERA Data Intel outlooks at condominium market as a positive growth, albeit very
thin, thanks to overall economic recovery with GDP poised to grow by 6.1 percent
in 2024 and 6.3 percent in 2025, according to World Bank forecast.
By 2025, overall condominium figures are forecast to reach:
142,700 of total existing and new units cumulatively added up from all types such as
residential and commercial categories of condominiums across Phnom Penh.
• 76,600 of total existing and new units cumulatively added up to the market for
those classified under residential-purpose built category.
• 75,200 of total units cumulatively completed for those classified under residen
tial-purpose built category.
Despite the overall oversupply and low occupancy rate, market players have started market stimulation such as lowering prices, optimizing unit sizes and prices to
suit current and future demand, and adopt aggressive sale strategies to pass
through this tough of time.
In addition, market simulation strategies such as renovating available units into
rental apartments, offices and hotels to liquify their assets were also applied
across the market.
Condominium Market Report H1 2019 by Hoem Seiha.pdfHoem Seiha
Executive Summary
Condominium market in Phnom Penh capital will continue to grow gradually as it is supported by the increasing trend of local interest in owning condominium units as their secondary homes. Flexible and accessible financial options widen the condominium market and this puts a target on both effluent and mid-income local buyers. However, a slight drop of new launches this year is preliminarily projected as opposed to what it was witnessed last year, while the demand is estimated to absorb all the supply relatively slower than they did in 2018.
Key Highlights
Overall market situation in the first half of 2019 was averagely favorable, as the figures indicate:
66,000 is the cumulative total counts of condominium units from all condo types as of H1 2019, when 26,000 units were already constructed, occupiable and lettable (cumulative from 2007- H1 2019) and about 40,000 units are on the pipeline of both under construction and on the schedule to launch in the next coming years.
6,600 of new condo units from many different projects across the capital were launched for sales onto the market during H1 2019.
6,200 of new condo units were constructed and ready for renovation or move-in during H1 2019.
3.7 percent of market absorption rate is estimated to achieved this year as opposed to 4.3 percent in 2018.
2 and a half years of market absorption when an average condominium project is estimated to sell off all its total units, slightly longer than 2 years of the market absorption in 2018.

2001- H1 2019) and about 60,000 units are on the pipeline of both under
construction and planning.
• 13,900 of new housing units from many different projects across the capital
were launched for sales onto the market during H1 2019, with a growth of 32
percent over the previous semester.

Mean Chey District: Property Market Review Q1 2017Hoem Seiha
Driven by the rapid growth of residential and commercial hubs within certain areas of Mean Chey district and spill-over impacts of Boeng Cheung Aek Development Plan, which covers some parts of Mean Chey, Dangkao, and Takhmao, Mean Chey’s property prices saw a slight pick-up. In the first quarter of 2017, prices of landed properties and land parcels across the district grew by 5.6 percent (2017Q1-over-2016Q1), despite negative property market sentiment over the course of last year.
Average land prices in the first quarter of 2017 across the district ranged between US$850 and US$1,200 per sqm. Whereas minimum land price could be as low as US$150 per sqm in the least developed zones, maximum land price (exclusive of buildings or structure) in the bustling commercial hubs could be as high as US$4,470 per sqm.
Mean Chey also saw a big jump in the completion of cluster landed housing units in 2016, having up to 1,500 units finished within the year. Even more, other projected completion of 2,700 housing units will add to the existing figure by the end of 2017. As of today, cumulative supply of landed housing units reaches 9,400 units across the four communes of Mean Chey district.
In term of development trends, Mean Chey has enormous potential for its partial coverage of Boeng Cheung Aek development zone known as ING City, which lies across some parts of Mean Chey, including Dangkao district and Takhmao province. The zone is expected to become a satellite city with a central hub for mixed-use development, while the nearby areas will also see the impacts.
Phnom Penh Housing Market and Outlook Report 2016 - EnglishHoem Seiha
Market absorption rate for cluster landed housing increased markedly in 2015, achieving 41 percent of sales growth last two years, yet the sales rate in 2016 fell by 41 percent. The unsold stock also floated high last year. Of the total units launched for sales in 2016, 51 percent of the total launches were sold. By 2017, however, market demand will manage to maintain its growth momentum, as chiefly bolstered by the recent inception of very flexible and buyer-friendly schemes, albeit credit and mortgage growth is likely to continue cooling down this year.
Opportunities will arise among first-home buyers thanks to a large number of housing units due to completion and readiness to move in within this year, when a projected 28,000 of new homes are slated for completion within 2017, representing a 93 percent y-o-y increase. Of the newly finished housing units in 2016, 4 percent of them were still available in the primary markets, while onto 2017, the sold-to-completed ratio is predicted to further decline because of the slow market absorption rate last year, leaving many units yet to be sold and adding to the existing housing stock this year. This could eventually impede home prices from aggressively going up.
A large number of housing units to be finished at the same time by 2017 will create some challenges for developers who have built the houses but have not sold off their finished units on the expected schedules. This unsold rate among the finished projects will increase by 2017, to some degree, if the slow rate of market absorption still persists in 2017 or through to 2018.
Ruessei Kaev Housing Market and Outlook Report 2016 PresentationHoem Seiha
The housing market has risen sharply within these five years, with noticeable trends seen as an influx of new launches of condominium and cluster landed housing units that seems to flood the market at the moment.
This offers even more options for prospective buyers to tour around looking for a new home that suits their style, preference and budget. In the marketplace, most still prefer landed properties; a few look onto high-rise condos; and many seek ones at which they could afford to pay with some short of finance scheme. Yet there remains a lot more to learn about the Phnom Penh Housing Market.
Ruessei Kaev Housing Market and Outlook Report 2016Hoem Seiha
Ruessei Kaev’s landed housing market grew remarkably within the preceding five-year period from 2012 to 2016, with an average of 1,600 new housing units launched into the market each year. Well over 2,800 units were completed in 2016, and it is projected that well over 3,000 additional units will be finished off and ready for prospective occupants by 2017.
Fortunately, only 14 percent of the launched units are awaiting total completion recorded as of today, whereas 17 percent are still listed on the market inventory. In sum, albeit a slight market slowdown since the end of 2015, housing market stimuli initiated by developers has come to ignite the demand engine again, giving rise to a ‘slightly’ positive trend expected to continue over the course of 2017.
Pou Senchey, since the last decade, has seen a rapid pace of development, especially in the realm of residential, commercial, and industrial sub-sectors, leading to a considerable land price surge across the district. Observed within the period of the past three years, the district experienced an average annual growth of 31 percent in land prices, from US$110 p.sqm. in 2013, when averaged across the whole district, to US$170 p.sqm. in Q3 2016. Within those three years, 2014 and 2015 marked the strongest growth for land prices, yet during the course of three quarters of 2016 the prices were sluggish to move upward due to the situation that overall real estate market has cooled down steadily since late 2015.
Tuol Kouk, Sen Sok Market review - Vtrust Appraisal - EnglishHoem Seiha
Sen Sok district (Khan in Khmer) has experienced a rapid
growth, especially in term of residential, commercial, and infrastructure developments. Thus, land prices in the whole district increased markedly within the last couple of years. By the end of 2013, average market price of land in Sen Sok was US$380 per sqm. In the first half of 2016, average market price in the district rose to US$690 per sqm, with average growth of 27 percent y-o-y from 2013 to 2015. Nevertheless, land market prices across Sen Sok district have stagnated since the beginning of 2016, making Q1-to-Q2 2016 list price ratio to drop to 99 percent, though minimally, as property sellers were testing the market at which a reasonable market price should be met.
Tuol Kouk district, on the other hand, experienced a slight rise in land price within the same period, from average market price of US$2,150 per sqm in 2013 to US$ 2,530 per sqm in early 2016, growing at 6 percent y-o-y within the tracked period. However, across Tuol Kouk district, Q1-to-Q2 2016 list price ratio dropped to 99 percent due to real estate market stagnancy since the start of this year.
In sum, these two districts both of which lie northwest of the
central Phnom Penh have enjoyed a rapid growth in term of residential and commercial developments. The suburban Sen Sok district, for example, has witnessed a noticeable pace of developments, especially mixed-use landed housing and infrastructure, which gives rise to a change in the skyline and rapid surge in land prices over the course of the previous three years. This growth will continue its pace as developers foresee market optimism over the next coming years.

Chrouy changva land market review Vtrust Appraisal - EnglishHoem Seiha
Chrouy Changva peninsula has witnessed a surge in land prices thanks largely to the completion of the second Chrouy Changva Bridge and the Kingdom‟s largest Sokha Phnom Penh Hotel along with some other mid-rise devel-opments such as Bellevue Apartment, Yellow Tower, and three of the Mekong Apartments, just to name a few. The peninsula satellite city project known as “City of the Fu-ture”, which was mapped out five years ago, and the recent kickoffs of high-rise condominium projects such as the Bay and La Vie Residences have also pushed land prices in the areas to skyrocket in recent years.
A recent survey by VTrust Appraisal indicates that the av-erage growth of land prices in Chrouy Changva district (khan in Khmer), which mainly covers the peninsula, hov-ers at 20 percent year-on-year, with the average price of the fastest growing zone in Chrouy Changva commune (sangkat in Khmer) standing at US$1,080 per sqm in the second half of 2015 as compared to US$670 per sqm in the same period of 2013.
Despite the rapid growth in land prices in Chrouy Changva peninsula, the neighboring district of Ruessei Kaev, located west and opposite Tonle Sap River, has experienced only a slight jump for land prices within these two years, on aver-age hovering at 8 percent year-on-year.
With some of the signs marked today, Chrouy Changva peninsula has quickly attracted the population and will continue to witness a rapid surge in land prices, especially driven by major residential and mixed-use developments, both complete and recently announced, and the peninsula city master plans mapped out by OCIC and L.Y.P Group.
About 275,000 sqm is the the total supply of retail property in 2015, contributed hugely by the coming of AEON Mall (Retail Market Phnom Penh, Sept 2014, CBRE). Commercial property market has been growing strong since the last few years, with the supply of major commercial development centers such as Sovanna Mall, Canadia Tower, Phnom Penh Tower, and lately the Ratannac Tower and AEON shopping mall as well as the soon-coming Parkson Mall.
As maintained by the steady demand for commercial and residential buildings, Chamkarmon district experienced 10% of land price average increase y-o-y from the fourth quarter of 2013 to that of 2014.

Pondering Aquaculture’s Potential: Fish farming in Cambodia on the increase by Hoem Seiha
1. By Hoem Seiha | Economics Today
Although Cambodia is rich with
natural fish—producing a hundred thou-
sand tons annually—it doesn’t mean
there are enough fish caught to feed the
whole country.
As the Kingdom’s ever-growing pop-
ulation is putting a huge strain on the
increasingly limited natural fish sup-
ply that can no longer ensure the huge
amount of supply needed to feed Cam-
bodians’ mouths, aquaculture is being
touted as the solution.
“Wild fish catches cannot supply the
needs of our restlessly increasing popu-
lation,” said Dr. Nao Thuok, Director
General of the Fisheries Administra-
tion, Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry
and Fisheries (MAFF). “Fish stocks
are limited—around 500,000 tons of
catches annually and an ever-increasing
number of human beings means
aquaculture is a must to meet the
increasing demand.”
While the overall wild fish catches
are increasing, the total catch per fish-
erman is declining rapidly and the annual
growth rate is also in decline.
“Inland fisheries dominate the source
(of fish catch) by far but the proportion
of the total fish supply is predicted to
decrease as the annual increase from the
capture fishery slows down,” said Alan
Brooks, Director of the WorldFish Center
in Cambodia.
Although Cambodia exports fish, it
also imports hundreds of tons of fish
annually, particularly from Vietnam and
Thailand.
“At least 5 tons of fish are imported
from Vietnam via Svay Rieng alone per
day,” said San Thy, the Food and Agri-
culture Organization’s (FAO)’s National
Aquaculture Specialist.
Importing fish to supply Cambodia’s
market is the nature of the free mar-
ket that’s in place in the ASEAN Free
Trade Area.
“It’s a free market, so we cannot put an
embargo on imports of fish,” said Dr. Nao
Thuok. “We have natural fish, so other
countries buy them from us, while we
importsomefarmedfishfromthem.Butin
total,weexportmorefishthanweimport.”
A growing business
Aquaculture, especially the farming
of fish, began to take off in the 1990s,
when there were a small number of active
fish ponds being used for fish farming.
But the current undersupply of natural
fish has spurred a more recent growing
interest in fish farming, resulting in an
increase in fish ponds with farmed fish.

ect’sstrategyreviewreportaboutaUSAID-
sponsored aquaculture project.
According to the latest figures from
the Fisheries Administration, MAFF,
more than 1,000 ponds are slated to be
built for fish farming in the coming years.
Fish farming in the Kingdom could
reach around 5-10 percent of annual
growth by 2030, according to the World-
Fish Center.

2. “If current trends in production, trade
and pricing are followed by the propor-
tion of fish supply from aquaculture to
the total fish supply, it will double from
today’s 8 percent to around 16 percent
by 2030,” Brooks explained.
“However,ifthereisadramaticincrease
from aquaculture, according to scenario
development research conducted by the
WorldFish Center (unpublished), this
could rise to one third of the total fish
supply arising from aquaculture by 2030.”
According to Fisheries Administration
Statistics, aquaculture production grew
from 14,410 tons in 2000 to 50,000 tons
in 2009, representing about 10 percent of
the total. Dr. Nao Thuok said the figure of
farmedfishroseupto60,000tonsin2010.
“It has increased so fast that the coun-
try is ranked seventh in terms of annual
growth of aquaculture worldwide in the
last few years, though our aquaculture
production is still low compared to neigh-
boring countries—Vietnam produces
about 2 million tons whereas Thailand
around 1 million tons,” he said.
The trend shows that aquaculture is
going to be a major industry and has
an enormous potential for a big, lucra-
tive aquaculture industry in the future
because of increasing interest among
investors in this sector.
“The potential is huge in the future for
fishfarming—itcouldreachamilliontons
of aquaculture production,” said Dr. Nao
Thuok. “We have an abundant water sup-
ply—reservoirs, lakes, etc., that haven’t
been used. The problem is that we have
such an abundance of natural fish stocks
thatwedon’tcaremuchaboutfishculture.”
Brooks agreed that Cambodia is in a
region that is well suited for fish farm-
ing in terms of species, conditions and
marketability. “Other aquatic animals
are included such as shrimp, crabs and
mussels. There are also possibilities for
aquatic plants: seaweed and medicinal
freshwater plants.”
Dr. Nao Thuok said foreign companies
from Australia, Japan, Norway, South
Korea, China and Taiwan have expressed
an interest in investing in aquaculture in
Cambodia and are currently conducting
feasibility studies.
Even if aquaculture accounts for a big
share of the total fish production, it won’t
replace natural fish stocks easily. Natural
fish stocks are the only source of fish with
enough abundance to satisfy the King-
dom’s consumption of protein—about 70
percent of the protein intake is from fish.
“It just cannot grow that fast to replace
the ‘free’ resource of the Tonle Sap, flood-
plains,reviversandwetlands,”Brookssaid.
That said, Cambodia has been taking
measures to prevent natural fish stocks
from overexploitation.
“Fish culture is right and must be a part
of the total consumptions, but currently
thenaturalfishstockisstillimportantand
has such great potential that we should
conserve and protect it from overexploi-
tation in order to ensure rising demands,”
said Yang Saing Koma, President of the
CambodianCenterforStudyandDevelop-
ment in Agriculture (CEDAC).
Currently, FAO is working with about
1,315 families to help improve family-size
fish farming operations in five provinces.
According to the FAO, the average size
of the ponds is 100 sq m and produces
about 50-60 kg per year per pond, which
amounts to 65-78 tons in total per year
for all the families involved.
CEDAC has also worked hand-in-hand
with rural farmers to help them diversify
“The potential is huge in the future for fish farm-
ing—it could reach a million tons of aquaculture
production. We have an abundant water supply—
reservoirs, lakes, etc., that haven’t been used. The
problem is that we have such an abundance of
natural fish stocks that we don’t care much about
fish culture.”

cial Farm for Small Farmers in Takeo’s
Samrong district (ICM).
Aside from growing rice and vegeta-
bles and raising livestock such as pigs and
chickens, some farmers also raise fish in
natural and concrete ponds.
Kep Chorn, a farmer in Takeo’s Sam-
rongdistrictwho’sinvolvedwithCEDAC’s
ICM project, farms fish in two concrete
tanks. He’s able to produce enough fish
to feed his family and sell the surplus at
the local market.
In Siem Reap province, the Associa-
tion of Cambodia Aquaculture currently
has about 50 members with around 60
fish ponds, especially family-size fish
farms, which raise a variety of fish to
supply the market demands in Siem Reap.
“Wild fish catches are decreasing now,”
saidTouchKannitha,theassociation’spres-
ident. “Our farmed fish from all our mem-
bers are used to supply the local market.”
Commercial Fish Farming
Som Hak, owner of a commercial aqua-
culture farm in Takeo’s Tramkork district,
is one of thousands of aquaculture farm-
ers in Cambodia. He has about 23 fish
ponds, which are each up to 1,000 sq m
in size, and seven concrete fish tanks. He
raises a variety of aquatic species such as
carps, barbs, catfish, frogs and prawns.
Som Hak also produces fingerlings to
supply the local market and also for mar-
kets in other provinces. “I focus mainly
on producing fingerlings,” he said. “The
production of fingerlings is more prof-
itable than raising larger fish due to a
higher demand for fingerlings.”
That does not mean that the larger fish
for consumption is not in high demand,
but the production capacity is limited on
aquaculture farms. “I could produce only
3 tons of fish per year,” he said.
The market for fingerlings, which are
supplied for farming, is high, but Cambo-
dian aquaculture farmers face trouble pro-
ducing sufficient amounts to supply the
demandingmarketduetolimitednumber
of fingerling producers. And fingerling
producers tend to run small operations
rather than larger commercial hatcheries.
Som Hak said that he produces about
1.3 million fingerlings per year and tries
to produce as many fingerlings as pos-
sible to meet the needs of the market in
a timely manner. While there is a huge
need for a larger number of fingerlings,
there aren’t any large-scale hatcheries to
respond to the need.
Frogs are also in big demand by the
market, but the existing hatcheries
can’t produce enough frogs to meet the
demand, he said.
Frogs are generally bought by restau-
rants and also collected to be sold in the
market,whilesomesmallvendorsbuyand
process frogs (into fillets or stuffed frogs)
to sell in the local market, said Som Hak.
“No one in our country yet produces
enough frogs to supply the market, so
frogs are imported from outside the
countryinlargequantities,”saidSomHak.
Though fish farming is lucrative and
farmed fish are in relatively high demand,
especially when the levels of natural fish
caught are low from January-April, prob-
lems arise when farmers try to produce
large amounts to supply the market.
“Water shortages are the big limitation
for me to do my best to produce a larger
quantity of fish as well as fingerlings,”
said Som Hak.
An additional water supply would
allow him to conduct three production
rounds per year, but currently he can
handle only two rounds, producing three
tons annually.
The current price of both farmed and
natural fish on market is around US$3
per kg, but Som Hak sells his farmed
fish to traders at US$1.50. The trading
of farmed fish improves the value chain
for aquaculture.
Years ago most Cambodians were
reluctant to eat farmed fish because they
witnessed how species such as basa cat-
fish, or pangasius bocourti (locally known
as “trey pra”), were raised through unsan-
itary practices. Basa catfish were raised by
being fed on animal and human manure
as well as leftovers, which made the water
dirty. People felt that the farmed fish
would cause diseases, Som Hak said.
But now Cambodians tend to have
a better perception and more readily
accept farmed fish because there have
been improvements in the ways of fish
farming, he pointed out.
“Global prices of fish
based ingredients have
been increasing rapidly
in recent years largely
due to the demand from
China’s livestock industry.
This will have an impact
on the profitability of
aquaculture dependent
on complete feed diets or
even fortified supplemen-
tary diets.” said Brooks.

4. Aquaculture farmers have shifted
from bad practices to more responsible
methods by using healthy feed such as
manufactured pellets or a mixture of veg-
etables and rice bran. And, as a result,
farmed fish have become more accepted,
Som Hak said.
Issues of concern
As imported pellets sold in market are
expensive and aquaculture farmers can-
not solely use that type of fish feed, they
have been trying other methods.
Som Hak said he uses both pellets and
a variety of locally available sources such
as vegetables or rice bran mixed together.
“Global prices of fish based ingredients
have been increasing rapidly in recent
years largely due to the demand from
China’s livestock industry. This will have
an impact on the profitability of aquacul-
ture dependent on complete feed diets
or even fortified supplementary diets,”
said Brooks.
Brooks favors the use of more semi-
intensivepolyculturesystems,wherediffer-
ent types of fish are put in a pond and sub-
sistondifferenttypesoffeed.Thatprocess
reliesonenhancednaturalproductivityby
fertilization and some grain based supple-
mentary feed. That process also enables a
natural cleaning of the water.
There is currently a big demand for
snakehead fish (“trey ros”) than any
other types of fish in the local market.
However, snakeheads are banned from
being farmed due to their carnivorous
nature, which results in the destruction
of natural fish stocks.
“A large number of small wild fish such
as rasbora or lesser bighead carp are
caught to feed this species because it’s
often free and cheap when bought from
the market,” said San Thy of the FAO.
However, the recent hybrid and domes-
tication of the species that aren’t carnivo-
rous in Vietnam could make snakehead
farming possible again in Cambodia.
“We have found a new appropriate feed
for a new hybrid type of snakehead spe-
cies from Vietnam, and we are proposing
to the government to allow snakehead
farming,” said Dr. Nao Thuok. “We hope
to see snakehead farms soon—next year
probably.”
Another problem is that as there isn’t
enough fingerling production to meet
the demand and because wild fingerlings
are more preferred, that could lead to
the destruction of natural fingerlings,
the Cambodia MSME’s aquaculture proj-
ect report noted.
While more fingerling farms are being
established, the production capacity still
won’t be enough to meet the demand.
Dr. Nao Thuok noted that now two
Japanese-funded hatcheries have been
established in Kampong Som and will be
ready for marine fingerling production
by April. Another two hatcheries have
been established as well in Kandal’s Roka
Kpos commune, covering 30 ha, and Prey
Veng’s Peamro district.
“We also train about 300 families on
fingerling hatching,” he said. “Last year
we produced 111 million fingerlings,
much more than 68 million in 2009, and
we are targeting to produce at least 150
million in 2011—but that’s not enough
because Cambodia needs 300 million fin-
gerlings per year.”
Brooks said that Cambodia’s current
export of farmed fish is limited and the
level processing has not been enough to
offer incentives to aquaculture farmers
to expand their businesses.
“Processing may be a niche market in
the future but apart from the processing
into fish sauces, it is unlikely to become
a substantive industry,” he said.
Aquaculture could be hazardous to the
environment, especially the water quality,
if it is conducted on a large scale and no
appropriate technical measures are taken.
“If the country experiences rapid
growth of smallholder aquaculture there
will be very little impact on the environ-
ment, although widespread coverage
could result in feral species, which are
likely to be exotic, dominating some eco-
systems and replacing wild indigenous
species,” said Brooks.
Though fish farming contributes to
about 10 percent of the total fisheries,
the quality of fish needs further improve-
ment. Smallholder fish farms lack techni-
cal know-how and facilities to improve
the quality of the fish, though there is
no research indicating parasite or disease
contamination in farmed fish.
San Thy explained that if fish contain
parasites or diseases, they will get lesions
and skin ulcers, signs that show a disease
contamination.
“We don’t have research about this, but
through observation, we don’t find any
parasites or diseases in farmed fish,” said
San Thy. “And farmers are satisfied with
theresult,sellingtheirfarmedfishtolocal
market at US$1.75 to US$2.5 per kg.”
