| Citation | Nguyen, T.H.T., Van, N.S. & Thinh, D.V. 2011. Cirrhinus molitorella. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species 2011: e.T166016A6168828. https://dx.doi.org/10.2305/IUCN.UK.2011-1.RLTS.T166016A6168828.en. Downloaded on 02 October 2020. | Description | JUSTIFICATION Recorded from the a number of basins in southeast Asia and southern China. It is heavily impacted by fishery pressures and, probably, from the disruption of its migratory routes through the construction of dams. There is limited information available on population declines, and it is assessed at present as Near Threatened due to the known declines in the Mekong basin in Cambodia and Viet Nam, however it may qualify for a higher threat category if further information becomes available. As currently understood the species may represent a number of species and if this uncertainty is resolved, individual species in the Mekong might well qualify for a threatened category. RANGE DESCRIPTION The following records refer to C. molitorella but this may refer to more than one species as a result of the taxonomic uncertainly relating to this species. Recorded from the Mekong, Chao Phraya, Nam Theun, Xe Bangfai and the Nanpangjiang basins; also from the Red River (China and Viet Nam); Viet Nam, Cambodia, Thailand, Lao PDR (Nam Theun, Xe Bangfai), China (Guangxi, Guangdong, Fujian, Hong Kong,and Yunnan) and Taiwan, Province of China). In Viet Nam, found in rivers, streams, dams and lakes in the northern provinces and up to Con and Ba rivers in southern provinces in Viet Nam. Also recorded from Indonesia and Malaysia but these may be introductions for aquaculture. DESCRIPTION In the Mekong and Sesan the populations have declined significantly as a result of the Yali Falls dam (I. Baird pers. comm. 2010, Baird and Flaherty 2004), and as a result of overfishing in Viet Nam. The situation in other parts of the distribution is not known. HABITAT AND ECOLOGY Known to inhabit the midwater to lower depths of large and medium-sized rivers, occur in rapids and slow deep reaches. Moves into flooded forests during the rainy season and grazes on algae, phytoplankton and detritus (Rainboth 1996). Reported to be omnivorous. Wild stocks are strongly migratory while the cultivated stocks probably have lost the migratory behaviour (Roberts 1997). Prefers flowing water and not known to proliferate in reservoirs. THREATS This species is over-fished in the larger rivers such as Thao River, Da River, Lo River and Red River in Viet Nam, and most likely in other basins as well. Catches are declining in these rivers in Viet Nam as well as in some reservoirs and lakes. Dams greatly impact upon the species, as shown by evidence from the Yali Falls dam (Baird and Flaherty 2004), by disrupting the migration of the species. USE AND TRADE This is an economically important species. It is also a cultured species in ponds, lakes and reservoirs. Large fish are marketed fresh, smaller ones are used to make fermented fish paste. CONSERVATION ACTIONS Population trends of the species, especially in relation to fishery pressures, require research and monitoring. Impacts of dams on migrations needs to be better understood. |
