The Siamese mud carp (Henicorhynchus siamensis) is a species of freshwater cyprinid fish, a variety of Asian carp native to the Mekong and Chao Phraya Rivers in Southeast Asia, especially in Cambodia, Laos and Thailand.[2] It is very common in floodplains during the wet season and migrates upstream in the Mekong starting in Cambodia.[3]
The Siamese mud carp has commercial use locally, both as food and in the aquarium trade.
