Résumé
The Tonle Sap and its associated river system is the largest lake in Southeast Asia and oneof the most productive freshwater fisheries in the world supporting large numbers of small-scalefishers. Over the last decade, there has been substantial fisheries policy reforms in Cambodia‟sinland fisheries involving community fisheries. This is largely explained by the need to safeguardfish stocks, ensuring local food security, and the increasing conflict between family-scale fishersand fishing lot operators. This research aims to quantitatively evaluates community fisheries, a comanagement institutions, in the Tonle Sap Lake after fisheries reforms in 2012 using members‟perceptions. The goal of the researh is to determine factors influencing the success andsustainability of the community fisheries. Several lessons were learned, or confirmed, by theanalysis, associating with positive and negative change. Access, community participation, influenceand control over fisheries management and resources and compliance remain no signifiang progressafter the reforms. Fisheries conflict management and knowledge of fisheries management arerelated to perceptions of positive change while employment, overall quality of fish and income fromfisheries are on the opposite side, suggesting the development of livelihood diversificationstrategies and strengthening the institutional support to the community fisheries organizations in theLake.
