Conditions for collective action: Understanding factors supporting and constraining community-based fish culture in Bangladesh, Cambodia and Vietnam by Joffre, Olivier M., Sheriff, N.

“…Farms are cultivated individually during the dry season, but during the flood season individual landholding boundaries disappear under the water, and water bodies and flooded rice field resources become common property. The project was based on the premise that production from these water bodies could be enhanced by stocking locally important fish species, providing communities with an additional source of income and an increased supply of affordable fish for sale or consumption (e.g., Dey and Prein 2003, IIRR 2000, Sinhababu et al. 1984). …”
