6 Mekong giant catfish found in one week - Catherine - 12-17-2024 Mekong giant catfish are extremely rare. Finding one is exceptional. Finding six in 5 days is unheard of. It is also a good sign that the species could survive. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/dec/13/six-rare-mekong-giant-catfish-found-in-cambodia-spark-hope-for-critically-endangered-species Now that so many have been found it is clear that conservation efforts are worth it. The fish can be saved.  A three meter long, 300 pound fish is definitely worth saving.  There is a lot of work being done to save the whole Mekong river basin. https://www.usaid.gov/cambodia/fact-sheet/wonders-mekong Hopefully the giant catfish and all the other species can continue to survive and even thrive.
