National Geographic News Photo Gallery: 8-Foot Giant Catfish Caught in Cambodia


National Geographic News Photo Gallery: 8-Foot Giant Catfish Caught in Cambodia: "This is the only giant catfish that has been caught this year so far, making it the worst year on record for catch of giant fish species,' said Zeb Hogan (far right), a fisheries biologist at the University of Reno in Nevada. After collecting data on the fish, Hogan released it unharmed. Giant catfish were once plentiful throughout Southeast Asia's Mekong River watershed, including the Tonle Sap River—home of the fish in these exclusive pictures taken near Phnom Penh. "
