The primary prahok fishing season may have passed, but fishermen are continuing to haul in respectable catches, say residents of the Phnnom Penh and Kandal province.
PHNOM PENH (The Phnom Penh Post/Asia News Network): In 2022, the Fisheries Administration (FiA) referred more than 120 cases to court and worked with authorities to crack down on nearly 3,000 cases of offences across the country, issuing a total of over 310 million riel (US$75,000) in fines.

A spokesman for the Fisheries Administration (FiA) said more than 63,000ha of flooded forests have been rehabilitated in the area around the Tonle Sap Lake this year with a high survival rate for the saplings. The land was reclaimed from farmers and traders who had illegally encroached on it.
Fishermen living in the northern provinces along the Chaktomuk River – including parts of the capital and neighbouring Kandal province – have resumed fishing after it was suspended from June 1 to September 30.
