Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): Locally threatened by hydro-power development, which permanently floods rapids and reduces water flow rates. Mining for gold in the upper Xe Bang Hiang basin occurs, but the impact is unknown. Logging, deforestation and agriculture occur in the area, with associated impacts on the aquatic environment through soil erosion, sedimentation and agricultural pollution expected (M. Kottelat pers. comm. 2011).
Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions: Parts of the range of this species is in Protected Areas. However, if several species are recognised, it is likely that some may not have part of their range in Protected Areas. Field-based research is needed to clarify the taxonomy of the genus Annamia and the distribution of the included species.
