Address ongoing declines in populations of Jullien's golden carp (Probarbus jullieni) and thick-lipped barb (Probarbus labeamajor) in the Mekong River of northern Lao PDR through the establishment and management of co-managed Fish Conservation Zones (FCZs) at three sites of spawning habitat for these species, between Luang Prabang and Vientiane.
