According to Venerable Thích Đạt Ma Chí Kiên, Abbot of the monastery, the number of catfish has continuously increased due to releases or their self-reproduce. The total weight of the black catfish herd has been estimated at over four tons. “When the fish fills the whole lake, we will release them into river”, the abbot informed.
