geovalin Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 The Agriculture Ministry’s Fisheries Administration yesterday said that prahok makers should rush to produce fermented fish paste and smoked fish as catches are currently high. Eng Chea San, director general for the Fishery Administration, said that in the 2019-2020 fishing season, water from Tonle Sap lake receded fast, which has never happened before. He said that the rapid recession of water levels in Tonle Sap river makes it easier for a stretch of the river in Phnom Penh and Kandal provinces to offer high catches from yesterday to December 9. “The Fisheries Administration want to call on prahok and smoked fish producers to come and buy fish now,” he said. Sotha Rith, owner of stationary bag nets in Phnom Penh’s Russey Keo district, said people have not yet come to buy fish to make prahok. Mr Rith said that fishing yields this year seem to be lower than last year’s due to low water level, which makes it hard for fishermen to have high catches. read more https://www.khmertimeskh.com/50667520/prahok-season-begins/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
