We will first confirm with government agencies the numbers of Mekong giant catfish currently being released and captured. We will then document fishing gear and methods, and develop improvements with local fishermen. After a period of testing new gear and methods, we will propose appropriate levels of release and capture for optimal stock sustainability.<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"base_h5\">Description<\/h5>\n<p>Across Southeast Asia, people release fish seedlings and engage in aquaculture without knowledge of how to sustain the stock. The Mekong giant catfish is one of the largest freshwater fish in the world, highly endangered, and an important target species for fisheries. The project will establish a sustainable fishery of Mekong giant catfish in Kaeng Krachan Reservoir in Thailand as a model for others to learn from.<\/p>\n<p>Stock management is necessary for the sustainable use of rare species. This study will provide a model of sustainable fishery management to ensure the sustainable consumption of Thailand\u2019s rare great catfish.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to interviews with partners, points of improvement will be sampled together with local fishermen. Through fruitful exchanges, we expect to discover methods in efficient fishing and develop fishing gear. Identifying appropriate numbers of fish will facilitate smooth management of the stock and promote the idea of sustainable fisheries.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table  class=\"table-caption\">\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/ipcr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/fy2017iv-6-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/ipcr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/fy2017iv-6-1.jpg\" ><\/a><br \/>\nA huge Mekong giant catfish with a fisherman.
