People of Thach Giam commune, Tuong Duong district raise fish in cages on Khe Bo hydroelectric lake.

In Tuong Duong district, there are currently 63 hectares of fish ponds and 152 fish cages on large lakes. Because the area does not have a facility to produce fish seeds, people have to buy them from lowland districts. Therefore, not only are they passive about the farming season, but the price of fish seeds is also relatively high.

On the other hand, the management of exploitation, fishing and protection of aquatic resources is still limited, especially the management of exploitation and fishing on hydroelectric reservoirs in recent times.

The total output of aquaculture and fishing in the district reaches 450 tons/year. Every year, the district allocates budget to buy and release fish fry into hydroelectric lakes in the district to regenerate aquatic resources.
