Fish catches slowing as waters deteriorate
Cambodia’s coastal fish yields declined by 5 per cent in the past year, a coastal fishery administration officer said on 12 January.
Nen Chamroeun, administration official in Sihanoukville, said fishermen switching to factory work and venturing onto the water less often were the main culprits for the decline.
The catch totalled 46,830 tonnes in 2015, down from 2014’s 49,250 tonnes.
