Chau Doc Floating Fish Farms are an extensive network of fish farming operations on the Bassac River in southern Vietnam, where traditional wooden fish cages have been cultivated for generations. These farms produce catfish, snakehead, and other freshwater species in the distinctive floating cage system that characterizes the region's aquaculture heritage. The farms offer visitors a rare glimpse into rural Mekong Delta life and sustainable traditional fishing practices.
This is an authentic working landscape where you can witness traditional aquaculture methods unchanged for decades, interact with local farmers, and understand the economic lifeblood of the Mekong Delta.
