Values of inland fisheries in the Mekong river basin
Type: Book
This report provides an overview of the biological, economical, social and cultural values of river fisheries in the Lower Mekong Basin (Yunan, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam). The report also identifies the main ...
Ecological and modelling approach to flood-fish relationships in the Mekong River Basin
Type: Conference Proceedings
In tropical floodplain systems and rivers, how to address the relationships between environmental modification due to development (dams construction, extracting water, etc...) and natural fish production? Environmental ...
Trading-off fish biodiversity, food security, and hydropower in the Mekong River Basin
Type: Journal Article
The Mekong River Basin, site of the biggest inland fishery in the world, is undergoing massive hydropower development. Planned dams will block critical fish migration routes between the river's downstream floodplains and ...
The importance of the fish resource in the Mekong River and examples of best practices
Type: Book Chapter
The Mekong is an exceptional river in many ways. In terms of fish biodiversity, it is the world’s second richest river after the Amazon (www.fishbase. org). With 6 to 18% of the global freshwater fish catch, it is also ...
River fisheries: ecological bases for management and conservation
Type: Report
Large rivers and their floodplains support a significant proportion of the world’s biodiversity and provide important goods and ecological services to society, including fisheries. Riverine ecosystems and fisheries are ...
Hydro-biological models for water management in the Mekong River
Type: Conference Proceedings
Among users of the water resource are fishes and fishermen. Given the importance of fisheries in the Lower Mekong River Basin, water management schemes must take the fish resource into consideration. Therefore hydrological ...
Bayfish: a model of environmental factors driving fish production in the lower Mekong basin
Type: Conference Proceedings
In tropical floodplain systems local populations are generally highly dependent upon the system’s natural aquatic resources. In such systems the annual fish production depends on a combination of biological and physical ...
Floods, floodplains and fish production in the Mekong basin: present and past trends
Type: Conference Proceedings
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 ...
Fish resource and hydrobiological modelling approaches in the Mekong Basin
Type: Report
This document summarises the outputs of a modelling approach of the relationships between hydrology and fisheries production in the Mekong River Basin. Environment (floodplains, wetlands and their vegetation) has also been ...
Approaches and tools for sustainable management of fish resources in the Mekong River Basin
Type: Book Chapter
This paper details the approaches and tools developed at ICLARM to contribute to the sustainable management of fish as a food resource in the Mekong River Basin. Multiple partnerships have been established in order to ...
