HO CHI MINH CITY to BEN TRE to VINH LONG
The Mekong Basin is rich in biodiversity, with over 1200 fish species, including giant river carp, Mekong freshwater stingray, and the Mekong giant catfish. The Upper Mekong has clear, fast-flowing water, while the Lower Mekong is turbid.
Fish in the upper reaches are dominated by loaches and carp, while the lower parts have more catfish and carp species. Large fish species are in decline due to dams, flood control, and overfishing. Other wetland mammals include the smooth-coated otter and the rare Irrawaddy dolphin and Siamese crocodile.
