Ichthyofauna in the Phong Nha – Ke Bang National Park from Vietnam

Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its tectonic limestone structures and extensive cave systems, harbors a unique ichthyofauna. Despite the total estimated length of 80 km of caves and underground rivers, only 20 km have been explored by joint Vietnamese-English teams, revealing 17 km in Phong Nha and 3 km in Ke Bang. The park's distinctive karst geology facilitates widespread underground water flow, with small streams converging into larger channels like the Rao Thuong, eventually forming major tributaries of the Gianh River. This study highlights the region's complex hydrological network and its significance for rare flora and fauna listed in both Vietnam's Red Book and the World Red Book.
