The cultivation of Dam Xanh fish (Bangana lemassoni), a unique fish species, has seen remarkable growth in Mai Chau district, thanks to its high economic value and effectiveness.

These areas benefit from pristine underground water flowing from mountain crevices, providing ideal conditions for raising this specialty fish.
