Description |
Asia: Mae Khlong River drainage in Thailand and Pahang River drainage in Peninsular Malaysia.
Geographic Range [top]
Range Description: The species is known from the Mae Klong River drainage in western Thailand and the Pahang River drainage in the central part of the Malay Peninsula; it may also be found in the Bernam River drainage in the western part of the Malay Peninsula (Ng and Ng 2001). It has not been recorded from river systems between the Pahang/Bernam river drainages and the upper Mae Klong River drainage; this is either due to the lack of suitable habitats or to sampling inadequacy.

Use and Trade: This species is not utilized as a food fish (although it may be caught as bycatch), neither is it collected for the ornamental fish trade.
Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): The threats to this species are unknown, since there is no information on the biology of this species and therefore the impact of potential threats (especially those of an anthropogenic nature) remains unknown. The current threats to aquatic biodiversity in all of its known distribution have also not been adequately identified.
Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions: More information on the distribution, biology, population size and trends, and the current and potential threats to this species is needed.
