Fish Farming

I am 100 % for fish farming ,
Spoiler:
I will wait for a bite before I explain why .
But why would a Chinese company want to establish one in Cambodia when there are all those reclaimed islands in the SC sea with lots of sparkling blue water.
Note
2,000 Ha = 20 square km, which means an area of 5 km by 80 km could be a NO GO area.

5 X 80 would be 400 square km. :?

I seem to recall that I read somewhere, that here was talk some time ago, about inland fish farming to be taken on by some rich and powerful of the country. It tied in at the time with the hydro projects and the obvious lack of fish in the rivers, and most of all the Tonle Sap. So, all in all a substantial lack of foods for many.
When you look at the latest news of the boat people (illegal Vietnamese) (who, being fish farmers) removed from the Bassac River, no Cambodian has taken their place. Just to clarify, I knew of a Cambodian family who fish farmed until the authorities, apparently, (only knowing what was translated) took too much in bribes that the business now failed to outside costs.
So overall, it would only be feasible for government recommendations, or that of a position of power to make such a venture work.

Now is your post about fish farming or Chinese taking land or sea?

I was around Chruoy Changva recently and lots of Cham fisher-folk are still moored up.

Most certainly John, because they are moored up working boats and Cham fishermen. Like the ones in the photo, here the Cham fishing community on the Bassic River have their houses up the riverbank.

I was not referring to the fishermen but of the fish farms, such has the illegals who were deported.

The photo I took form the train, Kampot to Phnom Penh. You can see a lot of countryside from the comfort of the aircon train journey, here the villagers are catching the fish before harvesting the rice.
