Introduction

The Tonle Sap Lake in Cambodia is an urgent freshwater biodiversity area of interest and supports one of the world's biggest inland fisheries. Inside the Tonle Sap bowl, freshwater molluscs give imperative environment benefits and are among the fauna targeted for business gathering. In spite of their significance, freshwater molluscs of the Tonle Sap bowl remain ineffectively contemplated [1].

The authentic writing was surveyed and something like 153 types of freshwater molluscs has been recently recorded from all through Cambodia, including 33 from the Tonle Sap bowl. Reviews of the Tonle Sap Lake and encompassing watershed were additionally directed and tracked down 31 species, 15 bivalves (five families) and 16 gastropods (eight families), in the Tonle Sap bowl, including three new records for Cambodia (Scaphula minuta, Novaculina siamensis, Wattebledia siamensis), the presence of all around the world obtrusive Pomacea maculata and potential bug species like Limnoperna fortune [2].

This study addresses the most exhaustive documentation of freshwater molluscs of the Tonle Sap bowl, and voucher examples kept at the Inland Fisheries Innovative work Organization, Cambodia, address the main known reference assortment of freshwater molluscs in the country. To battle the consolidated anthropogenic tensions, including obtrusive species, environmental change and dams along the Mekong Stream, a multi-pronged methodology is direly expected to concentrate on the biodiversity, biology, biological system working of freshwater molluscs and other sea-going fauna in the Tonle Sap bowl [3].

Being the biggest normal lake in Southeast Asia, the Tonle Sap Lake is a significant freshwater natural surroundings for different creatures, including fish and birds, however close to the previously mentioned brief record by the Chinese negotiator, Zhou Daguan, in the thirteenth 100 years, little else is had some significant awareness of the freshwater molluscs of the lake. Albeit inadequately considered, freshwater molluscs in the Tonle Sap bowl, similarly as with the fauna in the encompassing Indo-Burmese district, possess a scope of territories and perform imperative biological jobs, collaborating with other fauna. For its size, Cambodia is the most speciose country in East and Southeast Asia for unionid bivalves; albeit the information on bivalves in the nation requires refreshing [4].

The most far reaching agenda of freshwater molluscs for Cambodia depended on material gathered close to 50 years prior from the fundamental stem of the Mekong Stream, and did exclude the Tonle Sap environment. Ongoing reviews and biological examinations in the new waters of Cambodia have focused on different taxa, and when molluscs were incorporated, all were, probably, recognized exclusively to genera [5].

It is hence basic to record the biodiversity of freshwater molluscs of Tonle Sap as an establishment for additional transformative and natural examination, and to make accessible the essential data to the public authority, nearby occupants, and different partners to consider more compelling administration of undermined, monetary and medicinally significant freshwater molluscs in this one of a kind freshwater territory. In this review, we meant to lead 1) a survey of verifiable writing on freshwater molluscs of Cambodia; and 2) overviews of Tonle Sap Lake and the encompassing watershed to give a refreshed agenda of species variety for the freshwater molluscs in the biggest lake in Southeast Asia, which is likewise one of the world's most useful lakes [6].
