Pictures taken from national geographic website.. The first picture features a boy with a giant barb..the second one featuring a biologist with a gigantic stingray..taken in Cambodia.
According to the articles, the size of the giant barb is relative to a 2m (6 ft) man while the size of the giant stingray is 5m (16.5 ft) which can be relative to a size of a bus. OMG !!!
When I skim through the articles, what cross my mind was that...who will dare to have this for meals ?? I know people like food to be "upsize"..I think this is super super "upsize" .. I dun think people will dare to eat them when they look at the enormous size hee..
But to my surprise.. the article cited "The flesh of the giant barb has long been considered a delicacy among residents of the Mekong River Basin, and it is a popular eating and pickling option for the tens of millions of people who depend on the Mekong's aquatic fauna for food." ...Hmm....
Hee..i think if I were the fisherman who caught these fishes, I would have 1 year seafood feast ..2M leh..can be equivalent to X no years supply of fishes hee..
But my other concern will be ..why are fishes getting much bigger ? or rather how come it can happen ? Recently I spotted some ants at Pasir Ris Park which are far from the size that I used to see couple of years ago..hmm.. I thought can this be a "strike back" ..as we know ants and fishes are small which lead them to be "vulnerable" ..Human eat fishes and step on ants for "defend or leisure"? (not appropriate words actually) ..so will there be a day the fishes and ants "revenge" hmm....
