Cage fish farming on rivers in Bo Trach district has become an important sector for farmers. Based on the results of a random survey on 120 households in 3 selected communes (favorable conditions and unfavorable conditions) in Bo Trach district, this paper has found that cage fish farming brings high economic efficiency for farmers. Some determined input factors include the amount of technical training, experience, density of fish, feed costs, fish drugs. It is necessary to focus on planning the cage fish areas, opening a training class on technical and management skills for farmers, improving the capabilities of official funding access and marketing for inputs and outputs of cage fish farming in Bo Trach district. 1.
