A fish weighing 300 kg has been found in the freshwater of the Mekong River in Cambodia.

" In 20 years of searching for giant fish in rivers and lakes on six continents, this is the largest freshwater fish we have encountered anywhere in the world, " said Zeb Hogan, the biologist who leads the research on that river.

He broke the previous record, a 293 kg Mekong giant catfish, caught in Thailand in 2005.

The Mekong is rich in biodiversity, but overfishing, dams and pollution threaten the ecosystem.

It flows from the Tibetan Plateau through China, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam./ CNA.al
