Oxygen is scarce in these stagnant waters, but the eggs
will get enough from the bubbles to allow them to develop. The climax of the flood is still to come. Eventually,
so much water surges down the Mekong that the Tonlé Sap Lake expands
to five times its dry-season size. Vast numbers of fish now swim
into these new feeding grounds. People have harvested this seasonal event
for millennia. They set nets across half of the river, leaving the other half free for the rest of the fish
to swim on and breed
