Snakehead fish farmers required to register: gov’t
Snakehead fish farmers are required to register with the Fisheries Administration as part of new regulations aimed at better governing and monitoring an industry that became legal in April after an 11-year ban. According to Hav Viseth, deputy director-general of the Fisheries Administration, farmers that operate 150-square metre enclosures up to 2,000-square metre ponds, or have the maximum capacity to raise 35,000 fish, are required to register with the Ministry of Agriculture. Smaller farms with a capacity of no greater than 3,500 fish need only register with local authorities.
