KH Source: News 4 & Fox 11 Digital 10/22/2024

The elusive giant salmon carp, known as the "Mekong ghost," has been rediscovered in Cambodia after nearly two decades, reigniting hope for its survival and prompting urgent conservation efforts for the Mekong River. The giant salmon carp (Aaptosyax grypus), a critically endangered species, had not been documented since 2005.
 

An international team of scientists, funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development and collaborating with the Cambodian Fisheries Administration, confirmed the existence of the species.
