Rice field fisheries: wild aquatic species diversity, food provision services and contribution to inland fisheries

As irrigation development is underway to expand the (currently 17%) rice field area irrigated, it is essential to account for and maintain the aquatic connectivity, habitat diversity, and access that make rice field fisheries possible.
