Comments |
Found in the Mekong River. Known from below the Khone Falls to the Tonle Sap River and the Great Lake (Ref. 37772). Occurs in large numbers in the Tonlé Sap in December, with catch steadily declining as the fishing season progresses (Ref. 12693). It is an important species in the dai fisheries in the Tonle Sap River when it migrates downstream the Tonle Sap and into the Mekong during December to February (Ref. 37770).
