How many species of fish are there in the Mekong River in Myanmar?
People living in the rural parts of the lower Mekong Basin (4 countries downstream outside of China and Myanmar) are the main source of egg white matter, fish and aquatic organisms that live in the water. If you exclude the mekong delta of Vietnam, which borders the sea, the consumption rate of freshwater fish is very high in almost all regions of the region. Here, we can get a general idea of the fish situation in the Mekong River from the Fisheries Baseline Assessment Working Paper (ICEM 2010) in the Strategic Environmental Assessment conducted by the Mekong River Commission (MRC).
Fish diversity in the Mekong Basin
According to the 2009 login of FishBase, a database covering 204 rivers and 32 lakes in the world, it was confirmed that there are 781 species of fish in the Mekong, ranking second in the world in terms of fish diversity after 1271 species in the Amazon. According to the World Wildlife Fund (World Wildlife Fund=WWF), more than 279 new fish stocks have been identified in the Mekong Basin in the last 10 years, becoming a "biodiversity hotspot". Previously, in the Mekong River Basin, 1200 species of fish were found, and it is currently predicted that 850 species of freshwater fish, including marine fish from the Mekong estuary, are predicted to live about 1100 species. In addition, there are 197 species of fish in Cambodia's Tonle Sap Lake registered with FishBase, ranking 4th in the world in terms of fish diversity. Incidentally, There are 69 species of Lake Biwa in Japan, ranking 6th. The number of fish species, including tributaries and watershed segments, is divided into the following 20 zones:
As can be seen from this table, the Fish species in the Mekong Delta, excluding marine fish, are very diverse in the tributaries of the Songkran, Mong, and Tin Rivers (above in Thailand), and the main Mekong, Gonghe, and Srebo rivers between Shangding-Kratie (above in Cambodia). The Mekong River is diverse in fish, with very high rates in tributaries.
How many species of animals are there in Kokang?
Kokang News Network (guoganxinwen.com), Kokang Zhi: According to the zoological zoning, Kokang belongs to the marginal tropical forest ~ forest shrub grassland ~ farmland fauna area. The investigation and interview learned that 200 to 300 years ago, the natural vegetation here was still the main body of dense primitive forest areas and wild natural grasslands, and the land was sparsely populated; it was the habitat of large wild animals such as elephants and bison, "old elephant pond", "elephant rolling pond", "elephant rock", "big cattle farm", etc., hence the name. 50 to 100 years ago, the river valley forest area and Zhongshan forest area, more primitive than the current preservation, or tigers, leopards, old bears, red deer, wild boar and other sub-large beasts inhabited the area, to this day in the Munro area, there are still legends of tiger bites; "red deer water", "bear falling rock", "leopard cave", etc., also got its name. Later, due to the intensification of historical and man-made activities such as war, deforestation and deforestation, wildfire burning of mountains, blind logging, poppy bombing, etc., the primitive ecological vegetation was sharply reduced, and large and sub-large wild animals, because of the loss of living conditions, no longer existed.

Ecological distribution The above-mentioned various large and small animals are not widely distributed, and most of them inhabit forest areas along rivers, or Zhongshan forest areas, or Zhongshan shrub grasslands. Fish, mainly preserved in rivers. At present, there are mostly walking animals, including wild boars, chamois, and monkeys; reptiles, mostly all kinds of small snakes; flying birds, pheasants, hemp chickens, thrushes, spotted doves, partridges, black-headed males, crows, sparrows, there are still local reservations; insects, most of them are preserved, of which the rock peaks are only in the upper reaches of the Mutai River, burning rocks, yangquan dams, retaining more than 10 nests of 3 points, and no other places have been preserved.
