Written by DAP NEWS -- Friday, 11 September 2009

The Provincial Kratie Fisheries Administration on Wednesday handed over about 3,000 fish to armed forces stationed in the region to reduce hardships, a Fisheries Administration official said.

Fisheries Administration District Chief Sean Kin said that the donation is “to improve food security and nutrition for all Cambodian forces in this region.”

Provincial Kratie Commander Pen Sok Khoeun said that “We are very grateful and thank the Fisheries Administration for their support,” he said “Although, my members get a salary from the Government, our forces struggled to grow various vegetables and livestock to support their living, so we are now supported by the Fisheries Administration. We are very happy with this gift.”

The Fisheries Administration provided many breed of fish to raise in a 20m x 30m pond that is about 2.5 m deep, Pen Sok Khoeun added. “Next year, we plan to dig a pond to ask the Fisheries Administration to provide technique and study plan,” he stressed.

Around 14,000 fish were distributed to 73 ponds across Kratie province, especially in upland areas, according the Fisheries Administr-ation reported.
