Sixty-seven new fish species have been discovered in the lower Mekong River in an inaugural survey conducted by a team of biologists over the past five years.
Scientists from Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam found over 500 species overall in the first phase of the Mekong freshwater fish survey, which started in 2006, to create an inventory of fish species found in the lower Mekong countries.
The surveyed areas were the Moon River in Thailand, the Mekong River section passing through Laos, the Tonle Sap lake and river system in Cambodia and the Mekong estuary in Vietnam.
