Fishing in Laos

For many Laotians, freshwater fish are the principal source of protein; per capita consumption averages 5.1 kilograms annually. Fishpond culture had begun in the mid-1960s, and production--mainly carp raised in small home lots--grew an average 30 percent annually thereafter, the highest rate in Asia between 1975 and 1985. The Mekong districts in the south have especially high potential for greater increases in fish production.

In the 1982-84 period, the average annual catch was 20,000 tons, all of which was consumed domestically. For the traveller to Laos, you will mostly be able to enjoy unchartered waters in Laos and will find some of the best conditions for international fishing, as well as some of the rarest species you will ever find.
