Mekong River fisherman snags the largest-recorded freshwater fish in history.

The fisherman alerted a nearby team of scientists from the Wonders of the Mekong project, which has publicised its conservation work in communities along the river.

The world's largest-recorded freshwater fish, a giant stingray, has been caught in the Mekong River in Cambodia. The stingray, captured on June 13, measured almost 4 metres from snout to tail and weighed slightly under 300 kilograms, according to a statement on Monday by Wonders of the Mekong, a joint Cambodian-US research project.

The stingray was been released in the Mekong River after being tagged with a device that will track her movements over the next year.
