Samut Songkhram cracks down on alien fish species


BANGKOK: Samut Songkhram Provincial Fisheries Office on Wednesday (March 20) launched a campaign to eliminate blackchin tilapia, an alien fish species that is threatening the ecosystem in natural water resources linked to the Tha Chin and Mae Klong rivers in lower central Thailand.

The activity is part of the campaign announced last month by the Agriculture and Cooperatives Ministry to address the problem of this fish species invading fish farms in the provinces and damaging fishing resources.
