Catch and Culture Vol. 20, No. 2
The latest issue of Catch and Culture looks at impacts of climate change on water, energy and food security, the theme of the MRC Summit and international conference in Ho Chi Minh City in March. We also examine the Vietnamese launch of commercial production of a native species, known as 'Mekong salmon', the discovery of a new species of river loach in Thailand and the monitoring of fish abundance and diversity around the Tonle Sap Lake. Other articles cover fish pass opportunities for a new dam on the Sesan River and a World Bank assessment of the prospects for global fish supply and demand in 2030.
