they caught a giant catfish and killed it so that they could study it to preserve large fish?

Local environmentalists and government officials had negotiated to release the fish so it could continue its spawning migration in the far north of Thailand, near the borders of Thailand, Laos, Myanmar and China, but the adult male later died.

the story continues past the advertisement heehee!!
