- How fish on the Mekong River are caught and sold.. cooked and consumed... by the people of the Mekong region.
Director: Rajesh Daniel
Producer: MPOWER, USER & International Rivers
2011
Synopsis: The story of how fish from the Mekong River are caught and sold, cooked and consumed, by the people of the Mekong region. The rich wild-capture fisheries of the Mekong River and its ecosystems feed and support not only people living alongside the river, but are crucial for the livelihoods of millions of people across mainland Southeast Asia who trade, sell and cook them. Caught using an array of nets, baskets and traps, cooked in many amazing ways, the Mekong River's wild fish catch is central to the region's food security. Through the stories of the people themselves, the film shows the journey of the wild capture fish from fisher to trader to cook to consumer - its passage through networks of trade as people work through the night and day to transport the catch to villages and towns, to markets, homes and restaurants.

I lived in Vientiane for a year , 1993. I worked there , I'll never forget it , the mighty river which ruled the rythym of the whole place. Magic , pure magic
Bring back the old memories. 50 yrs ago it’s so much different.
Thank you very much for the amazing educational video! Can’t be done better ❤️
revealing docu, mind blowing, plenty of fish now, they should also be taught about fish conservation...thank you for sharing
The lower fish amounts recently are due to the hydroelectric dams, which block fish migration, and also largely due to the run off waste from the mining and agricultural pesticides. This river has been supplying fish for tens of millions of people for hundreds or maybe thousands of yeas.
Don't eat non veg. Don't eat fish. They have their's own life to live. They have feelings of pain. So don't hurt their feelings. They also have living things and all emotions. Don't hurt animals. SAVE ANIMALS. SAVE TREES. SAVE NATURE 🙏

Less the 20 years this river already run out of fish, sad thing is anything goes no size or limits
The title shows what was of the Mekong...this is what's happening to the Mekong @ 4:28-4:40
50 years from now will be no fish left in Mekong river.
i wonder how many fish go bad and aren't sold...
Pla maimi liao phai khing ki la
20 years from now fish will be a luxury to eat as there will be so few left anywhere......caviar style.
Sooner than later fish will diminished bcuz they’re already over fished it, pretty sad 😔, when there’s no fish regulation,
I'm from the Philippines and Filipinos already destroyed their environment,it's sad but we can't do nothing about it these people don't have a choice.Their environment is getting destroyed day by day month by month year by year soon there will be no fish left in the river and oceans.These people will face mass starvation and extreme poverty,God help us!!!
i just got done watching a more recent doc on this same river and the people are having to quit fishing cause they are all gone. They need to be taught at what age/ size these fish breed this way they dont take babies.
do not let anyone dam the river for electricity,
use solar electricity instead!
Who want those fish in Europe, migrants!
Soon you will not be smelt anymore fish on Mekong river. Because you not only catch for food you catch for sale.
Sound is terrible
No catch regulations on fish sizes and limits etc. these people and their traditional way of life is doomed! It is not sustainable. Why are they unable to stop the rot?
Because government people are corrupt....same in every countries....
Horrible why do you eat those baby fish, you are certainly into yours doomsday direction!😲😲😲😱😱😱😱
ปลาไทยไม่มืแล้ววววว...555...Thai fish no longer exist...55
Jumps too much from scene to scene, I don't like getting blinked off so I quit it at 3:16 and clicked the dislike icon from 33 to 34. Now off for greener pastures and leave amateur land behind.
