520 _aSvay Clu·um District is located in Svay Rieng Province, southeast Cambodia. It was the first place selected by the Department of Fisheries and AIT Aquaculture Outreach program to promote small-scale aquaculture in 1994. After one year of implementing the project, many problems were found such as some farmers could not continue fish farming, constraints of fish culture on pond water use and the effect of changing project strategy from closed pond to linked pond system. The study interviewed 116 households to find out the issues related to these problems. There are tlu·ee groups of farmers in the sample. Group one is respondents who were working with the project since the first year, called Trial94, among whom 12 farmers discontinued fish farming in the second year. Group two is new entrants who are just working with the project in the second year, called Trial95. Group three is also new entrants, but they do not work with the project, and are called Non-project farmers. The reason for Trial94 discontinuing fish farming is inaccessible seed supply due to inadequate fish seed in the second year of project implementation. The encouragement to extend the culture system by the project and the attempt to culture fish by most farmers led to the problem of fish seed shortage. Fish culture affects use of pond water for other purposes, because farmers are afraid of the pond drying up too early. The most important issue affecting the survival rate of fish is stocking time. If the stocking is late, the survival rate is lower. In fact, most of group two had stocked earlier than groups one and tlu·ee, and got more production. The most frequent problem facing farmers in the culture season 1995-96 is disappearance of stock caused mainly by wild fish predators. The problem causes low fish production and unprofitability. The idea of fish culture seems to be different between old and new entrants. The old fish farmers thought about fish sale for additional income, but the new viewed fish mainly as a product for home consumption. In the case of farmers who have fish production below 5 kg, the economic analysis indicated that the better strategy to be recommended to farmers is linked pond culture system. Pond preparation well linked to a large area of paddy fields provides more return and benefits. However, more engagement by farmers in fish culture would change their income structure for the future because they would have less time for earning in non-farming jobs. The medium class of fi sh farmers may more easy adopt aquaculture than others.
