Giant 300-kg stingray discovered in Cambodia dubbed "world’s largest" freshwater fish: Researcher
Share! :D
A researcher said on Saturday that the recent discovery of a giant stingray in Cambodia, weighing 300 kilograms and measuring 3.9 metres in length, marked the recording of the world's “biggest freshwater fish.”
“It’s very exciting news because it was the world's largest fish. It’s also very exciting news because it means that this stretch of the Mekong is still healthy,” said Zeb Hogan, a fish biologist at the University of Nevada leading the research team. “We hear a lot of stories about all the problems with the Mekong River, but this is actually a sign of hope that these huge fish still live in the Mekong.”
A team of international researchers and fishermen caught, recorded and released the stingray in the Mekong River in Cambodia on June 14.
The record also surpassed that of a 293-kilogram Mekong giant catfish that was caught in northern Thailand in 2005, he added.
