Threats [top]
Major Threat(s):
This species may be impacted by future changes to the Mekong River flow regimes as it is restricted to rapid areas in the river, and there are plans for a dam at Khong Island.
Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions: The species urgently requires new surveys to confirm the range, as there have been few records since the 1970s. If the threats at Khong Island escalate, then a higher threat category as Critically Endangered would be a possibility. Further new survey data is urgently required for a more accurate assessment of the conservation status of this species and to determine its current range, population trend and ecological requirements. Confirmation of the taxonomic position of the species is needed.
