ABSTRACT Dam development is fragmenting migratory pathways in the Mekong Basin, yet scientific understanding of fish migrations limited. Therefore, first‐ever transboundary acoustic telemetry network was deployed Mekong, Sekong, and Sesan rivers Cambodia Lao PDR to track movements 81 individual representing 12 different species from June 2022 through March 2024. Upstream movement by Pangasius conchophilus during transition between dry wet seasons aligned with local ecological knowledge....
The Mekong River is one of the most biodiverse, productive rivers in world, supporting more than 1000 fish species and livelihoods tens millions people. spatial dynamics population status many species, especially megafishes, are poorly understood. Therefore, this information rarely incorporated into environmental risk assessments for large infrastructure projects, such as mainstream hydropower developments, which have been accelerating rapidly Basin. In study, we present initial findings...
The Tonle Sap Lake in Cambodia supports several species of threatened megafish and contains one the largest networks freshwater fish reserves world. Despite these traits, this system remains understudied terms its utility for endangered conservation restoration. This study was first a series planned releases designed to test effectiveness supplementation programs Lake. In March 2022 (during dry season), 1582 captive-reared fishes, including 1538 striped catfish Pangasianodon hypopthalmus, 42...
Communication and outreach efforts are essential for raising awareness about conservation issues among the general public. This paper reviews three in-person approaches (environmental education, events, field trips), as well four types of media (print products, news media, visual social media) communicating environmental topics, with a focus on highlighting in Cambodia. Strengths weaknesses considered each communication tool, along lessons from case study example Wonders Mekong, an...
Abstract North American sunfishes (Centrarchidae) are frequently introduced beyond their native ranges, where they may negatively impact and eventually replace taxa through a combination of competition hybridization. Congeneric centrarchids often lack reproductive isolating barriers appear particularly susceptible to hybridization, though the roles hybridization introgression in species replacement poorly understood. We studied among Roanoke Bass Ambloplites cavifrons Rock A. rupestris...
Roanoke bass (Ambloplites cavifrons) persist in five river basins the eastern US, where they are threatened by invasive species, habitat loss and degradation, hydrologic fragmentation. We conducted first conservation genetic study of A. cavifrons, analyzing variation at 19 nuclear microsatellite DNA loci cytochrome b mitochondrial gene to estimate population structure demography, relationships among populations, role landscape features regulating diversity differentiation. Most streams...
