Residents in An Giang in Vietnam are starting to raise Siamese giant carp, a rare and endangered freshwater fish found in South East Asia, reports The Saigon Times Daily.
Also called the giant barb, the fish is found in Thailand, Cambodia and in Vietnam's Vam Nao region, an area linking the Tien and Hau rivers in An Giang Province.
Considered to be endangered, the giant barb is among the largest freshwater fish in the world, and can weigh more than 100 kilos.
