Thailand's Deputy Agriculture Minister has escalated efforts to control an invasive black-chin tilapia outbreak at Lam Pao Dam reservoir in Kalasin Province, where over 100 specimens have been detected. A rapid-response mobile unit ("Find-Report-Catch") will be deployed to capture fish immediately upon public reports via QR code, supported by e-DNA testing at water junctions and enforcement of the 2024 aquatic animal possession ban. The government aims to contain spread within a 5–10 km radius and suspects illegal smuggling is the primary cause rather than natural spread, emphasizing strict prosecution and public assistance in elimination efforts.
