Giant pangasius — size comparison — facts and sources

The giant pangasius lives in the Mekong and Chao Phraya basins. Adults occupy main channels of large rivers, while younger fish occur in tributaries.

It feeds on fish and crustaceans, and larger individuals may also take carrion. Spawning is associated with the period before the rainy season. Seasonal water-level changes affect access to feeding grounds and links between the main channel and juvenile habitats.
