Cambodian villagers on the Mekong River have caught what researchers say is the world’s biggest freshwater fish ever recorded, a stingray that weighed in at 300kg (661 lb) and took around a dozen men to haul to shore.

The world's biggest freshwater fish, a giant stingray, that weighs 661 pounds is pictured with International scientists, Cambodian fisheries officials and villagers at Koh Preah island in the Mekong River south of Stung Treng province, Cambodia June 14, 2022. Picture taken with a drone on June 14, 2022.

Christened Boramy – meaning “full moon” in the Khmer language – because of her bulbous shape, the four-metre long female was released back into the river after being electronically tagged to allow scientists to monitor her movement and behaviour. “It is also exciting news because it means that this stretch of the Mekong is still healthy…. It is a sign of hope that these huge fish still live .”
