“…The buffer zone is under the management of two communes: An Minh Bac and Minh Thuan. In 2013, this area was home to 3,675 households and 18,852 people, consisting of three ethnic groups: Kinh (92.4%), Khmer (7.56%) and Hoa (0.027%) (Tuyen 2013). The residents live along 22 arti cial canals running between the canals of the inner and outer dyke (Dzung 2002).…”

Wetlands in the Mekong Delta of southern Vietnam support populations of globally threatened species, including Hairy-nosed otter (Lutra sumatrana) and, historically, Fishing cat (Prionailurus viverrinus). However, protected areas in the southern wetlands have become terrestrial islands, surrounded by aquaculture and agriculture, leading to intensified interactions between humans and wildlife. This research explored different human-wildlife interactions to assess whether they bear potential threats to populations of threatened, wetland-dwelling carnivores such as otters, wild cats, and other small carnivores. 400 semi-structured interviews were conducted in communities living in the buffer zones of two protected areas: U Minh Thuong National Park and U Minh Ha National Park. Our results revealed that fish farmers who live closer to protected area boundaries were more likely to experience conflict with otters, wild cats, and other small carnivores. While the effect of distance to the protected area’s edge on small carnivore impacts were similar in both study sites, prior impacts were found to influence increasingly severe actions of respondents against the impacting wildlife. Overall, most locals had little-to-no knowledge of Fishing cats. This evidence corresponds with other studies which suspect the Fishing cat to be in extremely low densities or potentially extirpated from the wetlands in the last few decades. High prices of wildlife have driven intensive illegal hunting in the region. More people in U Minh Thuong were aware of illegal wildlife trade activities than in U Minh Ha and men tended to have more knowledge and willingness to share about those illicit activities. Our results suggested community engagement activities to tackle human-otter conflict and illegal activities related to wildlife should target mostly men, older villagers, and fish farmers living near the edges of both protected areas. Education and outreach campaigns to improve community awareness of wildlife should target women and young people, who were significantly less aware of wildlife issues in the area overall.

“…They live at the bottom of freshwater bodies, migrating into flooded forests during the wet season and returning to the river's lower reaches in November and December of the lunar calendar (Rainboth, 1996 ; Vo et al, 2023 ). That migration feature has created a difference in the habitat of M. mysticetus and may lead to the ability to change morphology to adapt to different habitats (Nguyen & Duong, 2020 ; Vo et al, 2021 ). Mystus mysticetus is one of the target‐catching catfish and plays a vital role in the local food supply (Vo et al, 2023 ).…”

Mystus mysticetus, a member of the Bagridae family, is represented by three dark longitudinal stripes running vertically below the lateral line, a dark black spot at the back of the operculum, a gray-black margin, an adipose dorsal fin that is short-tall and quite a distance from the dorsal fin (Phan et al., 2022;Tran et al., 2013;Vo et al., 2021). The Mystus is of genera of the family Bagridae, a family of fish native to Africa and Asia (Berg, 1858), with about 21 genera and 89 species (Fricke et al., 2022). In Vietnam, species of the genus Mystus are concentrated in the Mekong Delta (VMD) and some other localities in the central and northern regions of Vietnam.According to FAO, in the Mekong River basin, there are 13 species of the genus Mystus, typically M. atrifasciatus (Fowler, 1937), M. vittatus
