- Abstract
The article focuses on the worldwide harvest, and conservation of the Scleropages formosus popularly known as Asian arowana, which is a multi-billion dollar industry in Cambodia. It notes that CITES prohibited the commercial international trade of the S. formosus because it belongs to the endangered species. Furthermore, to collect information on the reproduction, harvest and trade, and population trends of S. formosus, interviews with 62 local villagers were conducted. Data show that the breeding season of S. formosus begins towards the end of the dry season in Cambodia, and lasts for approximately 3 months.
