In recent years, aquatic resources have declined sharply due to the impact of climate change and irresponsible exploitation. Therefore, the release of aquatic species to supplement and develop aquatic resources in nature is an urgent issue. Therefore, every year, the Department of Agriculture and Environment of Soc Trang province often organizes many aquatic species releases at Tran De estuary and in rivers in the province, in order to regenerate aquatic resources in nature and balance the species' ecology.
