Value of Fisheries Productivity in Wetland Area, Kampong Traolach District, Kampong Chhnang Province Page 1 of 10 Back Home Value of Fisheries Productivity in Wetland Area, Kampong Traolach District, Kampong Chhnang Province Introduction Floodplain fishery is known for its high productivity. This high productivity results from the presence of a complex environment/ecosystem where an important fish fauna is found exploiting large expanse of seasonally inundated land made of diverse habitat types. The population living along the Mekong River basin exploits intensively these rich aquatic resources. Much is known about commercial fisheries, such as the Dai or lot fisheries, whereas the small-scale family fisheries, which researchers believe to account for an important part of the whole Mekong fishery, have only recently began to receive more attention. The main objective of project sub-component (Assessment of Mekong Fisheries Component), the monitoring of small-scale, family fisheries, is to estimate the total production/yield from small-scale, primarily subsistence family fishing activities taking place within the confine of a floodplain area, thus excluding the fisheries from the neighboring main river. The long-term monitoring study started in mid-September. A site for a detailed fishery assessment study was selected. A full season study ("longitudinal" study) was implemented that included social, biological and economic assessments of the value and utility of wetland areas for fisheries. Most logically the site was be in an area fished with barrage fences at the Tonle Sap River draw-down (so at that period the study can estimate total catches per unit area at that time); that is, in a clearly defined " fishing lot" region. Radarsat imagery (provided to and analyzed by Hatfild Consultants Ltd., Canada) was be incorporated into the research effort. The Radarsat imagery was primarily help locate (or confirm) discharge channels and villages. It could also possibly be of use identifying the location of larger fishing gears. It can provide supplementary data to meet the main objective of our study, which is to assess the value of floodplains/wetland areas (specifically along the Tonle Sap River) in term of fish production on a per unit of area basis as well as per habitat basis. 1. Study Area 1.1. The selection process There were two main considerations driving the decision process during the selection of the study area, one was finding a location where the population and the fisheries was typical and representative of other similar part of Cambodia. Second, since one of the main objectives needed to be clearly defined or definable as precisely as possible. Potential sites that offered natural boundaries (e.g. island) or man-made barriers such as roads or 1.2. The Location Early in 1999, a team from AMFP assisted with the help of Hatfield consultant set off and surveyed areas along the Tonle Sap River. Armed with maps and aerial photos they looked for an ideal location to conduct a longitudinal study, both in term's importance of flooded area as well as being defined in space, i.e. presenting boundaries. It was also important that selected site be within a few drive from Phnom Penh since the project team live and work in the city and are expected to conduct regular visits to the study area. The study area is located in Kampong Chhnang Province, approximately 60km north of Phnom Penh, with a smaller crescent-shaped section overlapping Kandal Province, see Fif.1. Page 2 of 10 Following the Tonle Sap River on Road No 5, the study area begins at the point when the road bends to the west, just before entering Kampong Chhnang Province. The study area's southern and western boundaries followed road No. 5 for approximately 18km. The top west corner is at a road intersection where Salalekpram is found. A smaller road, connecting Road No. 5 to the Tonle Sap River, forms the study area's north boundary. 1.3. Characteristics of the Study Area The area covers approximately 82km2 of floodplain seasonally inundated by rising water from the Tonle Sap River (and ultimately from the Mekong). The site is delimited by the Tonle Sap River, along one side and the road No. 5 on the other. Agriculture activities dominate the economic sector followed with fishery. Rice paddies and palm trees are widespread giving the area its general aspect so characterize of Cambodia's lowland along the Mekong and Tonle Sap floodplain. · Floodplain The land use map shows a wide band of land, approximately 3 to 4km wide flanking the Tonle Sap River, this land being flooded for several months of the year. During the peak of the monsoon season, the extents of flooded land reach as far as road No. 5. In the center of the area shows a narrow strip of higher and drier grounds where several villages are established. · Population This area can be considered as moderately populated, with 29 villages ( 31 depending of political boundaries) and a total population of about 23,902 (4,676 households, with a mean of 5 persons/Hh), 2. Village Selection The selection of the eight villages for the long-term monitoring study was made with the attempt of covering a broad segment of village types found in the locality. Village types defined both in terms of village's socio- economic make-up as well as the fisheries prevailing locally the fisheries mainly determined by the nature of the surrounding water bodies. To meet these selection goals, RRA/PRA methodologies were favored over conduction a stratified random sampling approach for more details. Eight villages were selected. For the selection, an emphasis was given on finding village having access to a variety of water bodies. 2.1. Village Types The main criteria that were used during the village selection, was the presence of different water bodies type surrounding the village's locality. Three main categories were defined according to the degree of inundation. The first category applied to villages along the Tonle Sap River (Piem Chumnik and Lungvek). Second, there are the villages removed from the Tonle Sap but having immediate access to a range of fishing areas, and third, the villages both removed from the Tonle Sap and having limited access to fishing habitats. There are two villages that belong to the latter, Leach and Ampil Deumteuk and both are located along road No. 5. Other criteria such as village size and wealth were also used to make the selection. Among the villages that were selected, three have less than 100 households, four have between 100 and 200 households, and one has more than 200 households. 3. Participants/Self-monitoring Fisherfolks 3.1. Selection The initial intention was to select a group of villages that was representative for the whole village community, using criteria based on gender, age groups, level of involvement with fishing, and literacy. With these in mind, the village headman was asked to find, among all the different strata, a group of volunteers willing to participate in the study. People involved in fishing activities were more readily available to join than non- fishers, and people with literacy problems were mostly left out. In each village, a group of eight villagers were Page 3 of 10 selected. To date, 111 persons have been involved in the study, 96 men and 16 women, including people that have dropped out. Adults constitute the largest group, 85% than children with 10%. There are nine boys and two girl among the group of children. The remaining 5% belongs to the group of people older than 45. 3.2. Monitoring the monitors The selected monitors were asked to record on a daily basis, information about their fishing activities. The difficulty of the task made it impossible for project to find a representative group of villagers, instead the focus was put on fisherfolks, which were more readily willing to participate in the study. 4. Data Collection 4.1. The Logbook System Logbook from and content There are two main section in the logbook questionnaire. The first part covers details about the catch, i.e. where, how, and what was caught, and the second is about disposal of the catch. Additional information concerning related fishery activities such as boat and gear repairs is also include. Fishing activities, habitat, gear and species Eight habitat categories have been identified. The most important ones, as it will be presented in the result section, are the so-called "dry rice and wet rice". The term refers to wetland land where rice is grown once floodwater recedes. In term of fishing habitat, dry rice differs from wet rice, roughly by the amount of water and the extent of flooded duration. Dry rice fields are commonly found in low laying land, in closer proximity to larger rivers, whereas wet rice are further removed from main rivers and are flooded for shorter period of time. These areas are rainfed, where rice fields are mainly found. The other habitat types are lake, reservoir, stream, pond, and other. For each habitat visited, the participants were asked to record the fishing gear types used and all the species caught, fish and all other aquatic animals combined. The list of fishing gear types covers 16 main categories, among which included gillnet, lob, cast net, etc. The complete list of fish and aquatic animals used for the long-term study comprises 224 species names. · The first level of information is about fishing location/habitat. We are asking villagers to all the fishing habitat visited each day. · Than the next level is about fishing gears and fish species, however gears and species are being grouped together, the list of species caught by gear is not specified. Fishing period, effort and yield of fish and aquatic animals, · Fishing days are divided into four even periods: morning, afternoon, evening, and night.

The objective of this study was to examine the general situation of Cambodian agriculture by comparing with neighboring countries in Southeast Asia from a period of 22 years (1996 – 2018) through cultivate areas, technical using, technologies using, fertilizer using, agricultural infrastructure system, agricultural production cost, agricultural output, agricultural market and climate change. The results show that the Cambodian agriculture sector is still at a level where there is significant need to improve the capacity of farmers, the new technologies use and the prevention of climate change. However, the production cost is still high cost and agricultural output has been in low prices. It also causes for farmers to lose confidence in farming and they will be stop working in the sector. Moreover, we also have other policies to improve agriculture sector in Cambodia. JEL classifications : F13, O13, Q13, Q16, Q18.

  • RRA REPORT on WATERSHEDS in PURSAT and KAMPONG CHHNANG PROVINCES Watershed Profile
    Page 1 of 13 Regional Environmental Technical Assistance 5771 Poverty Reduction & Environmental Management in Remote Greater Mekong Subregion Watersheds Project (Phase I) RRA REPORT ON WATERSHEDS IN PURSAT AND KAMPONG CHHNANG PROVINCES Watershed Profile By Ieng Sovannora 1.0 Introduction, Rationale and Objectives 1.1 Introduction Pursat province (previously called Potisat), approximately 200 km from Phnom Penh and close to Tonle Sap, has one of Cambodia’s prime watersheds. Its protection would contribute to the protection of two wildlife sanctuaries in the area – Orall Mountain and Sam Kos. Prior to the field survey, the Study Team met the Minister of Environment, responsible for watershed management (a high priority) and wildlife sanctuaries, e.g., Orall National Park, and the Director of the Forestry Department. The Minister recommended a focus on Orall mountain. The Forestry Department, which works closely with the Ministry of Environment and other agencies, such as: CONCERN, WORLDWIDE, UNDP/CARE, and MCC, supports development of forest communities, e.g., in community forestry training and reforestation. Key Forest Department strategies are to: Eliminate "anarchic" deforestation, particularly by large-scale logging; Strengthen sustainable forest management practices; Manage forest resources and promote reforestation. Three big forest concession companies operate in Pursat: Superwood (94,499 Ha), Youri Sakor (196,310 Ha), and Great International (163,200 Ha), however, of these only the Superwood Forest Concession Company is more or less permanent and is constructing a wood processing factory. 1.2 Rationale for the study Pursat province watershed with an area of 2,423 sq. km, supports a population of 357,172, mostly poor people, 70% of whom (80% women) are considered to be at or below the poverty line.

  • 2 Phase of Emergency Flood Relief in Kampong Chhnang Province
    Vegetable Seed Distribution: 2 nd Phase of Emergency Flood Relief in Kampong Chhnang Province PHNOM PENH, CAMBODIA – The flood which hit 18 provinces of Cambodia in late 2011 was the country’s worst flooding in over a decade. It left more than 240 people dead and about 10 percent of the country’s rice damaged. During that critical time, FIDR responded actively to the urgent needs of 4,466 flood most affected families Kampong Chhnang Province, one of worst affected provinces along the Mekong River and Tonle Sap Lake, by delivering food packets and clean water products as its first phase of emergency flood relief. Responding to the provincial request, soon after the flood receded, FIDR began its second phase of the flood relief by delivering vegetable seeds to 3,082 flood affected families from 33 villages in Rolea Pa-ir District of Kampong Chhnang Province on two consecutive dates, 19 and 20 January 2012. FIDR sees this vegetable seed relief distribution as a way to partake in the post-flood rehabilitation of the Royal Government of Cambodia in restoring the livelihood of the flood-affected families in Kampong Chhnang Province. The families were selected based on their vulnerability to the food shortage. According to the District Agriculture Officers and local authorities of Kampong Chhnang Province, the families’ wet season rice was destroyed by the flood and most of them do not farm any dry season rice. This leads them to confront food shortage. Each family received a vegetable seed packet that contained 1) 200g of Water convolvulus, 2) 100g of Amaranth, 3) 02 small cans of Chinese cabbage, 4) 02 small cans of Chinese radish, 5) 02 small cans of Cucumber, 6) 02 small cans of Pumpkin, 7) 02 small packets of Wax gourd, and 8) 02 small cans of String bean.
