It's Cambodia again, once again setting a new record for the world's largest freshwater fish.
The fish caught this time was called stingray, and more than a dozen people could not lift it, so they could only reluctantly drag it ashore. The stingray was caught by local villagers in the Mekong River and weighs 300 kilograms.
The Mekong Is still magical, and despite overfishing, pollution, and backfilling, it is still a water of great things. According to the Mekong River Commission, the mekong has the third largest fish population in the world.
No one knows how much the stingray is in existence, including its habits, and it has not yet been clearly understood. It belongs to the stingray family of fish, which is normally a marine fish, and most of the same species of fish live in the sea, but stingrays adapt to fresh water.
According to the current data, stingrays can grow up to 5 meters long and weigh about 600 kilograms. It is usually gray, broad and flattened, with a tail like a whip.
The stingray caught this time is a female fish, and the researchers have labeled it and released it back into the Mekong River, hoping to monitor its trajectory and behavior and learn more about its habit data.
Previous records, which have been held by the Mekong giant catfish, are 293 kilograms, about 3 meters long. However, the Mekong giant catfish is already very rare.
There are several other species of this big fish, and the big fish of South American Brazilian Manaus is also a very large fish.
In the rapids of the Himalayas, the Mekong River and tributaries, there is also a giant fish, also known as tank platypus, melonfish, because there is not much pollution.
In North America, the first sturgeon can grow to more than 4.5 meters and is estimated to weigh up to 450 kilograms. By the time of industrialization, after the establishment of dams, there were basically not many.
