The floating village makes its living from fish, largely raised in big floating farms. These are like a big shed floating on the surface of the Mekong, with a big cage sitting under the water. The cage is absolutely chokas with fish of several different species. The most expensive part of running the farm is fish food - costly because of the antibiotics and other chemicals required to keep the fish "healthy".
