Tonn Kunthel, Bun Chantrea and Ame Trandem provided excellent assistance. Thanks also to Ngy San and Chhith Sam Ath for their overall support. Funding was provided by Oxfam America. It would be impossible to individually thank all of the hundreds of people who participated in this study, and assisted in various ways. However, it is particularly important to thank Peak Saven from the Culture and Environment Preservation Association (CEPA), who assisted in conducting the fieldwork in Stung Treng Province. Thanks also to Tek Vannara and Tep Bunnarith from CEPA for their assistance with valuable documentation and other support. In Ratanakiri Province, the 3S (Sesan, Srepok and Sekong) Rivers Protection Network (3SPN) coordinated fieldwork. Thanks to Kim Sangha and Meach Mean for their efforts, and to members of the 3S community network, including Ngong Bunchan and Pheut Pheua from Ta Veaeng District, for their assistance during fieldwork conducted in that Ta Veaeng District. Thong Lien and Nou Phit coordinated activities in Veun Sai District. Nang Noy, Sin Thonglao, and Thon Bunhan from 3SPN, and the 3S community network, assisted in organising fieldwork in Lumphat District. Many other villagers made exceptional contributions during the two field data verification meetings held in Ban Lung, Ratanakiri and Stung Treng town. Thanks to Hok Menghoin of the Land Information Center at NGOF for preparing the maps. The wildlife photos were provided by Andy Maxwell of WWF. Other support was provided by Megan MacInnes of NGOF, Yorth Bunny from the Cambodian Legal Education Centre (CLEC), Andy Maxwell of WWF, Hugo Rainey and Tom Evans from Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), Paul Humphrey from 3SPN, and other NGO workers concerned with relocation and resettlement issues in Phnom Penh and other parts of Cambodia. They generously shared ideas and information with me, as did Grainne Ryder from Probe International, David Hall from Sechaba Consultants, and Jonathan Padwe. Thanks also to Pao Narit from the NGO Development Partners in Action (DPA) in Stung Treng for assistance in providing important documentation related to the Lower Sesan 2 dam. 3 Abbreviations 3SPN – 3S (Sesan, Srepok, Sekong) Rivers Protection Network ADB – Asian Development Bank CEPA – Culture and Environment Preservation Association CITES – Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species CLEC – Cambodian Legal Education Centre DPA – Development Partners in Action EIA – Environmental Impact Assessment EMP – Environmental Management Plan ERAV -

The present study was undertaken in order to untangle some of the problems of classification which have beset this group. The genera have not been studied in toto since the days of Bleeker and Gunther. In this study I have made an attempt to clarify the relationships of the various genera, which in some cases has involved revision of generic limits. Lack of time and material has precluded a thorough analysis of the species within any genus; for the same reason no skeletal examinations were possible. It is hoped, however, that a clarification of generic limits through study of external characters will make it easier in the future for interested workers, with sufficient material at hand, to do further and much-needed work on both the genera and the species.

  • Employing Geographical Information Systems in Fisheries Management in the Mekong River: a Case Study of Lao PDR
    Employing Geographical Information Systems in Fisheries Management in the Mekong River: a case study of Lao PDR Kaviphone Phouthavongs A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the Degree of Master of Science School of Geosciences University of Sydney June 2006 ABSTRACT The objective of this research is to employ Geographical Information Systems to fisheries management in the Mekong River Basin. The study uses artisanal fisheries practices in Khong district, Champasack province Lao PDR as a case study. The research focuses on integrating indigenous and scientific knowledge in fisheries management; how local communities use indigenous knowledge to access and manage their fish conservation zones; and the contribution of scientific knowledge to fishery co-management practices at village level. Specific attention is paid to how GIS can aid the integration of these two knowledge systems into a sustainable management system for fisheries resources. Fieldwork was conducted in three villages in the Khong district, Champasack province and Catch per Unit of Effort / hydro-acoustic data collected by the Living Aquatic Resources Research Centre was used to analyse and look at the differences and/or similarities between indigenous and scientific knowledge which can supplement each other and be used for small scale fisheries management. The results show that GIS has the potential not only for data storage and visualisation, but also as a tool to combine scientific and indigenous knowledge in digital maps. Integrating indigenous knowledge into a GIS framework can strengthen indigenous knowledge, from un processed data to information that scientists and decision-makers can easily access and use as a supplement to scientific knowledge in aquatic resource decision-making and planning across different levels.

P.O.Box 582, Phnom Penh, Cambodia Abstract This paper deals with relationships between hydrology, wetlands and fisheries production in the Mekong River Basin. A five-year monitoring of the bag net ("dai") fishery in the Tonle Sap River (Cambodia) showed a strong correlation between catches and water level in the same year. One taxon making up to 37% of total catches explains most of the relationships between catches and water level. The current overall catch in the Tonle Sap system amounts 230,000 tons a year. When compared with historical surveys, this catch is twice as much as the catch 60 years ago. However when population increase is taken into account, the catch per fisherman has drastically declined. This can be considered as a warning signal of high exploitation rate. There is also a positive relationship between historical catches and water level in the Mekong River. Several hydrological, environmental and ecological variables are likely to influence fish catches in the Mekong River floodplain.

The memhers of the Profiteering Commission (1920) who were " impressed and much handicapped by the absence of any recorded information relating to fish and fisheries," made certain recom- mendations for the future control and organisation of the fishing industry and these recommendations have received the approval of- the Government. With the best will in the world, the task of Legislators and Fishery Officers who have no data or records to guide them, and are therefore unalile to discuss our local fish and fisheries except in vague terms, would be as fruitless in the future as it has been in the past. Allowiing, therefore, that recorded information in the form of a hand-book on Malayan Fishes is wanted and wanted at once,, the diflSculty arises that there is no one qualified or likely to be qualified for some years to write such a book.
