June 23, 2022

The largest freshwater fish ever recorded was captured in Cambodia’s stretch of the Mekong River.
A giant freshwater stingray measuring 4 meters (13 feet) from snout to tail and weighing 300 kilograms (661 pounds).
The discovery occurred in a stretch of the Mekong known for its diversity of freshwater habitats that support crucial fish-spawning grounds and migration corridors and provide refuges for other mega fish species and threatened species, such as Irrawaddy dolphins and giant softshell turtles.
It is categorized as endangered on the IUCN Red List.
