Population [top]
Population: The species is not common in Cambodia (W. Rainboth, pers. comm.), though it is found regularly in the Great Lake and the Tonle Sap. It is common in the Chao Phraya (C. Vidthayanon pers. comm.), and seasonally common in northeastern Thailand, and common in the south of Thailand in Songkla lake.
A marked stock decline was observed in some parts of the region in previous years; e.g., the Tonlé Sap (Rainboth 1996), for instance.
There is some evidence (from the Chinese population) of cycles of decline and increase in population size; it was also thought to be de clinging in Indochina, but the population seems to have recently increased again. The cause is not known, but could be linked to rainfall patterns.
