Thailand is facing a serious ecological crisis as the blackchin tilapia, a highly invasive fish species from West Africa, spreads rapidly through its waterways.
Despite numerous efforts to control its population, the fish continues to wreak havoc on the environment and economy, and has impacted 17 provinces in the country, according to a BBC report published today. |
