The floating raft village on Chau Doc River is a freshwater fish raft village established in the 60s of the last century. At first, there were only a few floating rafts raising fish in a natural way, no need for feeding because of the good water source.

The highlight is that from 1990 to 2005, the areas of Chau Phu, Phu Tan, Cho Moi, and Vinh Nguon had over 2,000 fish cages with an average annual harvest of over 20,000 tons/year.

In recent years, due to climate change, the Mekong River has dried up. In addition, the water source is increasingly polluted, leading to loss of income from fish raised in raft houses, and some households are left empty-handed and bankrupt. That's why the number of fish cages is decreasing day by day. Now, when basa and pangasius fish are no longer popular in the market, people have switched to raising all kinds of fish for meat such as: catfish, tilapia, silver carp, grouper, plaice...
