Weighing 300 kg!Cambodian villagers capture the world's largest freshwater fish in the Mekong River

According to the British "Mirror" reported on June 20, Cambodian villagers captured a 300 kg, nearly 4 meters long, nearly 4 meters of staku in the Mekong River. It was confirmed by scientists that this is the largest freshwater fish currently captured in the world.

Because the shape is spherical, this fish is named Boramy, which means "full moon" in Khmer language. At that time, a dozen people jointly dragged it on the shore.After installing an electronic label to Boramy, people put it back to the river.

Biologist Zeb Hogan said that the existence of Boramy means that the water quality in this section of the Mekong River is still good, and these big fish still have the hope of survival.

According to the Mekong Commission, despite excessive fishing, pollution, seawater invasion, and deposition depletion, the number of fish has declined sharply, and the diversity of fish in the Mekong River still ranks third in the world.(Compilation report of China Youth Network)
