Think of how many little fish and guppies and whatever else a catfish must eat to weigh over 600 pounds..holy smokes!  This is fascinating..

• The World Wildlife Fund researcher Zeb Hogan, in this video has immersed himself in this area of study for over 9 years
• Fisherman are required to release all giant catfish
• The giant catfish are listed as critically endangered
• 100 years ago Zeb states that fisherman were catching hundreds of them
• The Cambodian government won’t allow locals to accept cash from this scientist in regards to his studies
• If they get the word out that these creatures are endangered species, the Mekong may have a better chance of supporting itself

thank you to the wwf
