| Comments |
Known from the Mekong basin. Found in Grand Lac (Ref. 36654), Tonle Sap River (Ref. 33813) and Lake Tonlé Sap near Siem Reap (Ref. 45353). South of the Khone Falls, this species migrates upstream from October to February, peaking in November-December and extending into April from Kandal Province to Stung Treng (Ref. 37770). Migration occurs during full moon at Kratie and Kompong Cham (Ref. 37770). Migrates downstream from May to August from Stung Treng to Kandal and further into the Mekong Delta in Viet Nam, at least to Cai Be (Ref. 37770). This downstream migration is both a spawning and a trophic migration eventually bringing the fish onto floodplain areas during the flood season (Ref. 37770). Exclusively fished by explosives in northern Cambodia (Ref. 12693). Also Ref. 37772. |
