  • During the rainy season the Mekong River can crest as high as fifty feet, pushing runoff into the Tonlé Sap, the "Great Lake." The Great Lake, normally ca. 100 square miles and not over five feet deep, swells to 770 square miles. “The fish harvest of the lake itself is equally as important to the national economy as the rice harvest.” In mid-November, when the Mekong starts to drop, 30,000 fisherman harvest fish using hastily-placed fish traps and rattan dams. “Millions of fish spread over the 770 square miles of water are squeezed down into the normal 100-mile area. Fish are jammed so thickly about the dams that they can literally be lifted out of the water in buckets.” The Khmer traditionally harvested ca. “. . . 130 million pounds of fish, which is more than four times the salt-water fish catch by all boats operating in Cambodian waters in the Gulf of Siam” [aka the Gulf of Thailand] (pp. 16-18).
