Overview

This project aimed at the development and refinement of the databases for the dai fishery of the Tonle Sap, and the lee trap and dry-season gillnet fisheries in southern Lao P.D.R.—three of the most important long-term fisheries datasets in the Lower Mekong Basin.

Project outcomes

  • Improved the quality of data—refined the Access database for the data for the dai fishery, such that the content was more reliable.
  • Developed a database for the data for the lee trap and gillnet fisheries.
  • Provided support to the Inland Fisheries Research and Development Institute (IFReDI), in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, as well as to the Living Aquatic Resource Centre (LARReC) in Vientiane, Lao P.D.R..
  • Established a sound foundation on which Cambodia and Lao P.D.R. may build.
