There are currently 11 proposals for dams to be built on the mainstream of the Mekong River in countries downstream from China (see map on page 3 and table on pages 6-7). Planning agencies need to be able to evaluate the positive and negative impacts of these proposals. The major negative impact is the potential loss of fisheries as a consequence of dams blocking fish migration routes and altering aquatic habitats both upstream and downstream of the dams. In this regard, an estimate of the catch — and ultimately the value — of fish threatened by mainstream dam development in the Lower Mekong Basin (LMB) is fundamental for effective basin development planning and balanced decision-making.
