Fisheries and culture

Fisheries are integral to life around the Mekong River. The Mekong Basin hosts the largest freshwater fishery in the world, which provides a primary source of protein to millions of people. Fisheries have supported cultures past and present, and reflect a rich array of cultural practices. Understanding the interaction between people and the river through the harvest of fish and other aquatic animals is key to ensuring sustainability and food security.
