Chau Thang Lake has a water surface area of ​​8.4 km², is a large reservoir of Que Phong commune, plays an important role in regulating water resources, serving agricultural production, daily life and developing inland aquaculture. This fish release includes 2,353 kg of fish fry with key species such as grass carp, bighead carp, common carp, silver carp, bighead carp and tilapia, all of which are adaptable, fast growing, and have high economic value. Fish fry are strictly quarantined, ensuring quality before being released into the natural environment.

According to the representative of the functional sector, releasing fish fry not only contributes to supplementing the declining aquatic resources due to the impact of climate change, environmental pollution and overexploitation, but also helps restore biodiversity, regenerate the natural food chain, and improve water quality through the biological filtration process of fish species.
