It has been prepared in close collaboration between the MRC Fisheries Programme and the fisheries national line agencies of MRC Member Countries, namely: • Cambodia: Inland Fisheries Research and Development (IFReDI) • Lao PDR: Living Aquatic Resources Research Center (LARReC) • Thailand: Department of Fisheries (DoF) • Viet Nam: Research Institute for Aquaculture No. 2 (RiA2) The photo book has been updated from a fish photo catalogue prepared in the early 2000s which formed the basis of the MRC Mekong Fish Database 2003. This updated version uses photos with higher resolution and updated scientific and common names of the Mekong fishes from the most up-to- date available sources which include: • Froese, R. and D. Pauly (eds.) (2015) FishBase. World Wide Web electronic publication. www. fishbase.org, version (02/2015). • Kano, Y.; Adnan, M.S.B.; Grudpan, C.; Grudpan, J.; Magtoon, W.; Musikasinthorn, P.; Natori, Y.; Ottomanski.

Rome, 265 pp. It includes 272 common fish species, of which some 20 species are exotic. The photo book also includes basic key information about each fish species namely species code, local names in national languages of the MRC Member Countries, scientific names, common English names, maximum length and the family to which each fish species belongs. The aim is to assist riparian fish researchers in addressing a basic problem related to misidentification of fish species. It is meant for national counterparts supervising fisheries monitoring activities in the field and who train fishers in recording fish catch composition. This will ensure that fishers will generate, on a daily basis, standardized quality fish catch monitoring records across the four MRC Member Countries, thus contributing to harmonized national and regional datasets. Page 1 Photos of Common Fishes in the Lower Mekong This photo book is considered a living document which needs updating from time to time. The users of the book, i.e. fisheries researchers and fishers alike, are very much encouraged to provide feed-back from their observations in the field so as to correct and continuously update this document. Any feedback will be gratefully acknowledged.
