THE IUCN RED LIST OF THREATENED SPECIES™ Taxonomy Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Animalia Chordata Actinopterygii Siluriformes Pangasiidae Taxon Name: Pangasius conchophilus Roberts & Vidthayanon, 1991 Taxonomic Notes: Assessment Information Red List Category & Criteria: Least Concern ver 3.1 Year Published: 2012 Date Assessed: January 19, 2011 Justification: A common species, it is recorded from the Chao Phraya and Bangpakong rivers in Thailand, and the Mekong basin. It is highly utilised and impacted by habitat loss, but is assessed as Least Concern at present as there is no evidence at present of significant population declines across its range. Impacts from potential future mainstream dams should be monitored. Geographic Range Range Description: The species is recorded from the Bangpakong and Chao Phraya rivers (Roberts and Vidthayanon 1991) in Thailand, and from the lower Mekong basin (from Yunnan in southern China to Viet Nam). Chhea (2002) records the species presence in Myanmar, which requires confirmation, and the species has been introduced to Malaysia.

Current Population Trend: Decreasing Habitat and Ecology (see Appendix for additional information) Found in mainstreams and larger tributaries, migrating up river in the Mekong between May and July, though it may not be a long distance migrator. Migrates in large schools (Baird et al. 2004). This species feeds on fish, crustaceans, insects and, in the rainy season, is an important consumer of flooded forest fruits and leaves in the Mekong (Baird 2007). In the dry season, inhabits deep water pools in large rivers. Spawns in mainstream during flood season, larvae swept into floodplains. (Poulsen et al. 2004). Systems: Freshwater Use and Trade (see Appendix for additional information) This species is widely consumed throughout its range from both subsistence and commercial fisheries, and is locally cultured in cages from wild collected fries in Viet Nam. One of the most important species in the markets of the Chao Phraya and Mekong in Thailand. Threats (see Appendix for additional information) Overfishing and dams in mainstream rivers are the threats to this species. The species is also impacted by the loss of flooded forest habitat in the Tonle Sap Lake and along the Mekong. Conservation Actions Monitoring of habitat and population trends is required, especially in relation to impacts of large mainstream dams. The species benefits from community conservation of deep pool habitats in the Mekong (Baird and Flaherty 2005, Baird 2006). Credits Assessor(s): Vidthayanon, C. Reviewer(s): Allen, D.J. & Baird, I.

  • Fisher's Knowledge About Migration Patterns of Three Important
    Fisher’s knowledge about migration patterns of three important Pangasius catfish species in the Mekong mainstream* by Chhuon Kim Chhea Fisheries Officer, Department of Fisheries and Counterpart of the MRC/DoF/Danida Fisheries Project in Cambodia 1. Introduction The fisheries of the Mekong River and its tributaries have long been considered a major source of animal protein for the population within the river basin. Capture fisheries, fish processing and trade in fish is a livelihood for many people. Fish plays a fundamental role in the economic, social, and cultural aspects of human life. The importance of fish resources in the Mekong Basin is not only determined by the values of aquatic diversity, the economic values of fisheries, fish processing, trade and the value of fish as a food source, but also the influence of fish on lifestyles, beliefs, religious rites and social interaction adds intrinsic values to fisheries activities. In this paper we will deal with three species of Pangasius catfish, Pangasius conchophilus, Pangasius bocourti and Pangasius larnaudiei which are of economic importance and known to make longitudinal migrations in the Mekong River. 2. Main objectives The main objective of the study on fish migration and spawning in the Mekong River are as follows: ♦ Information collected regarding the distribution and migration patterns of three Pangasiid fishes of the Mekong. ♦ Information gathered on spawning habits. 3. Methodology of survey The methodology of the migration and spawning study is based on a photo flipchart containing photos of 169 fish species and survey forms designed by AMFC. These survey forms were used during interviews with fishers throughout the Mekong Mainstream, from Northern Lao PDR and Thailand to the Mekong Delta in Southern Vietnam.

  • Biology and Culture Techniques of Bocourti Catfish, Pangasius Bocourti Sauvage, 1880 in Thailand
    Veridian E-Journal, SU Vol.5 No. 3 September - December 2012 กลุ่มวิทยาศาสตร์ Biology and culture techniques of bocourti catfish, Pangasius bocourti Sauvage, 1880 in Thailand ชีววิทยา และเทคนิคการเพาะเลี้ยงปลาเผาะ Pangasius bocourti Sauvage, 1880 ในประเทศไทย Sitthi Kulabtong* Abstract Bocourti catfish, Pangasius bocourti is an economic fish in Indo-China. The fish is omnivorous and bottom feeder. In nature, the fish migrate upstream into spawning area on April – June. The larva migrates to the flood area, after flood season juvenile fish migrate into downstream. In farming, the fish is all year spawning. The optimal weights of broodstock begin in 1 kg. Buserelin with Domperidone, carp pituitary gland and HCG are the successful hormones for artificial breeding of the fish. The larva nursed in tank with flow the water in every time. Before one month old, the larva must feed on high protein food and after one month old, the larva can be feed on 25 – 30 % protein of float pellets feed. In Thailand, the culture time range is about 1 – 1.5 years and average weight is about 0.4 – 1 kg.

When fed on a high protein ration, the fish itself may choose which amount ofprotein in food will be converted into body growth and which will be burned through the catabolism. Therefore, in the study one diet was designed with a high protein content and fed to fish with different levels: 0, 5, 15,25, 35 and 45g crude protein kg'l.d". P. bocourti has a higher growth rate than P. hypophthalmus at the same food intake. However, the higher growth observed in P. bocourti is obviously associated to higher fat accumulation in the body. The protein efficiency, NPU and PER, tends to bereduced at higher protein intake in both species. Energy and protein requirements for maintenance were calculated to be 128 and 92 kl.kg'l.day", and 5.16 and 3.24 g.kg'l.day", in P. bocourti and P. hypophthalmus, respectively. P. bocourti has nearly a double protein and energy requirement for maintenance. The event may be linked to the fact that P.

However, there is much debate on the identification and phylogeny of the available species of Pangasiidae in the Asia. In the present study, nine species of two genera (Pangasianodon and Pangasius) of Pangasiidae were investigated using two partial sequences of the COI and cytochrome b mitochondrial genes to differentiate among them and study their phylogenetic relationships. A total of 42 haplotypes were identified (21 haplotssypes of each gene). The highest interspecies genetic distance was between Pangasius larnaudii and Pangasius bocourti (0.189) for COI and was between Pangasius macronema and Pangasianodon hypophthalmus (0.179) for cyt b. Whereas the lowest genetic distance was between Pangasius macronema and Pangasius conchophilus for both genes (0.65 for COI and 0.92 for cyt b, respectively).
