The Mekong giant catfish, Pangasianodon gigas (Thai: à¸à¸¥à¸²à¸à¸¶à¸, rtgs: pla buek, pronounced [plÄË bÉ¯Ìk]; Khmer: áááá¸áá¶á /trÉy riec/; Vietnamese: cÃ¡ tra dáº§u), is a very large, critically endangered species of catfish (order Siluriformes) in the shark catfish family (Pangasiidae), native to the Mekong basin in Southeast Asia and adjacent China.
When born in natural habitats, by the time the fish are three to five years old, they reportedly weigh about 330 to 440 pounds (150 to 200 kilograms) [source: Mattson]. These catfish manage to grow to such enormous sizes through a number of evolutionary tricks. We'll start with when the catfish are fry. Although full-grown adult Mekong giant catfish lack dentition and barbels (teeth and whiskers), not so with the fry.
