  • Fisher's Knowledge About Migration Patterns of Three Important
    Fisher’s knowledge about migration patterns of three important Pangasius catfish species in the Mekong mainstream* by Chhuon Kim Chhea Fisheries Officer, Department of Fisheries and Counterpart of the MRC/DoF/Danida Fisheries Project in Cambodia 1. Introduction The fisheries of the Mekong River and its tributaries have long been considered a major source of animal protein for the population within the river basin. Capture fisheries, fish processing and trade in fish is a livelihood for many people. Fish plays a fundamental role in the economic, social, and cultural aspects of human life. The importance of fish resources in the Mekong Basin is not only determined by the values of aquatic diversity, the economic values of fisheries, fish processing, trade and the value of fish as a food source, but also the influence of fish on lifestyles, beliefs, religious rites and social interaction adds intrinsic values to fisheries activities. In this paper we will deal with three species of Pangasius catfish, Pangasius conchophilus, Pangasius bocourti and Pangasius larnaudiei which are of economic importance and known to make longitudinal migrations in the Mekong River. 2. Main objectives The main objective of the study on fish migration and spawning in the Mekong River are as follows: ♦ Information collected regarding the distribution and migration patterns of three Pangasiid fishes of the Mekong. ♦ Information gathered on spawning habits. 3. Methodology of survey The methodology of the migration and spawning study is based on a photo flipchart containing photos of 169 fish species and survey forms designed by AMFC. These survey forms were used during interviews with fishers throughout the Mekong Mainstream, from Northern Lao PDR and Thailand to the Mekong Delta in Southern Vietnam.

  • 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.

These fishes attain a maximum body weight of 30 kg. Global population declines highlight the need for more information ≥ about megafishes’ conservation status to inform management and conservation. The northern Cambodian Mekong River and its major tributaries are considered one of the last refugia for Mekong megafishes. We collected data on population abundance and body size trends for eight megafishes in this region to better understand their conservation statuses. Data were collected in June 2018 using a local ecological knowledge survey of 96 fishers in 12 villages. Fishers reported that, over 20 years, most megafishes changed from common to uncommon, rare, or locally extirpated. The most common and rarest species had mean last capture dates of 4.5 and 95 months before the survey, respectively. All species had declined greatly in body size.

The fish is omnivorous and bottom feeder. In nature, the fish migrate upstream into spawning area on April – June. The larva migrates to the flood area, after flood season juvenile fish migrate into downstream. In farming, the fish is all year spawning. The optimal weights of broodstock begin in 1 kg. Buserelin with Domperidone, carp pituitary gland and HCG are the successful hormones for artificial breeding of the fish. The larva nursed in tank with flow the water in every time. Before one month old, the larva must feed on high protein food and after one month old, the larva can be feed on 25 – 30 % protein of float pellets feed. In Thailand, the culture time range is about 1 – 1.5 years and average weight is about 0.4 – 1 kg.

Nowadays, three species, Pangasius hypophtahlmus, P. boucorti, and P. djambal, are used in aquaculture. Among the genera in Pangasiidae, Helicophagus was less studied. Although this genus was less preferred than other popular species in Pangasiidae, it still has high commercial price. The present study was conducted to clarify the differences of the exist species in the genus Helicophagus based on biometric analyses. Twenty six specimens, collected from represent rivers in Southeast Asia, used for the material examined. Several type specimens deposited in museums were also added in the analyses. Thirty five characters were designed for measurement on the unique body conformation. Principal component analysis (PCA) was applied to distinguish different species and found strong characters for key identification and description. The results presented the data and information on the diagnosis, description, distribution, and ecology of each species.

Donnelly Secretary Florida International University College of Arts & Sciences 11200 SW 8th St. - ECS 450 Miami, FL 33199 [email protected] 305.348.1235 23 June 2009 The ASIH Board of Governor's is scheduled to meet on Wednesday, 22 July 2008 from 1700- 1900 h in Pavillion East in the Hilton Portland and Executive Tower. President Lundberg plans to move blanket acceptance of all reports included in this book which covers society business from 2008 and 2009. The book includes the ballot information for the 2009 elections (Board of Govenors and Annual Business Meeting). Governors can ask to have items exempted from blanket approval. These exempted items will will be acted upon individually. We will also act individually on items exempted by the Executive Committee. Please remember to bring this booklet with you to the meeting. I will bring a few extra copies to Portland. Please contact me directly (email is best - [email protected]) with any questions you may have. Please notify me if you will not be able to attend the meeting so I can share your regrets with the Governors.

When fed on a high protein ration, the fish itself may choose which amount ofprotein in food will be converted into body growth and which will be burned through the catabolism. Therefore, in the study one diet was designed with a high protein content and fed to fish with different levels: 0, 5, 15,25, 35 and 45g crude protein kg'l.d". P. bocourti has a higher growth rate than P. hypophthalmus at the same food intake. However, the higher growth observed in P. bocourti is obviously associated to higher fat accumulation in the body. The protein efficiency, NPU and PER, tends to bereduced at higher protein intake in both species. Energy and protein requirements for maintenance were calculated to be 128 and 92 kl.kg'l.day", and 5.16 and 3.24 g.kg'l.day", in P. bocourti and P. hypophthalmus, respectively. P. bocourti has nearly a double protein and energy requirement for maintenance. The event may be linked to the fact that P.
