The ' Mekong Ghost' is a critically endangered giant salmon carp that can measure up to four feet long.

The fish, native to the Mekong River Basin , has been shrouded in mystery since it was formally named in 1991 .

Fewer than 30 individuals have been recorded, making it a highly rare species.

Researchers hope the rediscovery of the “Mekong Ghost’s rediscovery can build momentum for more study and conservation action.

Earlier this year , 10 young activists from the group Mother Nature Cambodia were sentenced to up to six years in prison, each on charges of conspiring against the state, a conviction condemned by opposition politicians in exile.
