Freshwater fish 'become fine'

In the hands of biologist Zeb Hogan is a taimen - a giant member of the salmon family discovered in the Mongolian river. As the project leader ' Megafishes ', Hogan called the giant fish 'really the Loch Ness monster or the Bigfoot monster of the ocean'.

The project ' Megafishes ' marks the first attempt of scientists to study, record and protect the largest freshwater fish on the planet. The purpose of the project is to preserve fish that have the potential to grow to at least 2 meters in length and weigh at least 90 kg. They include mammoth taimen, slippery bear, stingray .

Many giant fish species are now at risk of extinction by threats such as overfishing, environmental pollution, ecological destruction . 'Conservation of ecological diversity " Freshwater fish are just as important as protecting rare animals like tigers and whales ." - Hogan said.

In the next 3 years, Hogan and his colleagues will conduct a survey of 14 large rivers and lakes on 6 continents to realize the project's objectives.
