Off the scales: world's largest freshwater fish caught in Cambodia

 

An almost four-metre-long giant stingray snared in the Mekong River in Cambodia is thought to be the world’s largest recorded freshwater fish.

The stingray weighed slightly under 300 kilograms, scientists from the South-East Asian nation and the US said on Monday.

The fish was caught on June 13 by a local fisherman south of Stung Treng in north-eastern Cambodia.
