Environ. 11 (1 & 2): 1-14, 2017 ISSN 1995-6983 Fishing gears around Lam Se Bai, a tributary of the middle Mekong river basin Yoshimi Fujioka and Chumpol Srithong1 National Research Institute of Aquaculture, Fisheries Research Agency, Mie 516-0193, Japan, 1Faculty of Fisheries, Kasetsart University, Bangkok 10900, Thailand Abstract: This study demonstrated fisheries and fishing gears around Lam Se Bai which is one of the secondary tributaries of the middle Mekong river basin. Fisheries in the Lam Se Bai basin were exclusively small-scale and were considered as a kind of community-based routine activities for local inhabitants. The fishing activities were dependent on seasonal patterns of flooding and recession of water level, and a lot of unique fishing gears have been developed through generations of their fishing experience and knowledge on fish behaviors and habitats. In a series of our field surveys, a total of 62 kinds of fishing gears and the related tools were recognized in and around the Lam Se Bai basin. They were classified into four categories; 16 net fishing gears, 29 trap fishing gears, 3 hook fishing gears, 8 other miscellaneous fishing gears and 6 related tools. Some fishing gears were in common with everywhere else in Thailand and others were indigenous fishing gears developed predominantly in the Lam Se Bai basin; for example, stake net trap, branch weir trap, bamboo screen trap, basket traps and cylinder traps. Indigenous fishing gears were traditionally made of materials available locally and easily obtainable, and some of them were designed for a particular hydrological environment and/or target species. Structures and fishing methods of every fishing gears and the related tools observed in and around the Lam Se Bai basin were described with pictures. Key words: Fishing gear, indigenous fisheries, fishery resources, inland fisheries, Mekong river. Introduction gears in Songkhram river which is one of the branch of the The Mekong is the world's 10th longest river which flows middle Mekong
