When were recovery boats sent up the rivers to recover casualties in Vietnam?

There was no program for it. It was just done as a matter of conducting the war itself. If there were casualties from an air action, then rescue helicopters were deployed; if there where casualties involving infantrymen (grunts) then medics were deployed along with stretchers or just carrying the dead/wounded men to the choppers, etc. If tanks or ACAVs were involved then they were towed or blown in place, and the crewmen evacuated.
Boats were the same way; the US Navy operated a Brown Water Navy in South Vietnam (Riverine Forces). Their Swift Boats would go up and down rivers whenever and where ever they were needed. All in a days work.

Do all eutrophicated rivers recover?
Eutrophic means: Pertaining to a lake containing a high concentration of dissolved nutrients; often shallow, with periods of oxygen deficiency. Difficult for fish and other organism to survive. No, not all eutrophicated rivers recover. * They will recover if the source of the nutrients is removed, for example, if farmers stop using large amounts of chemical fertilizer that is washed off the land and into waterways. * They will recover if there is rainfall in their catchment areas upstream and fresh clean water is added to the river.
