Synopsis

National Geographic Emerging Explorer, Dr Zeb Hogan, travels deep into the jungles and river basins of Asia on a quest to find essential information about giant fish. Information that will prevent them from disappearing from this world.

This is an expedition through time and place, of science and of myth.

Tracing the power of the megafish in each culture from fishermen's and monks' legendary tales, Zeb's team is in search of living specimens of these amazing fish.

The condition of these giant fish reflects the condition of the rivers they live in. They include catfish, gars, stingrays, sturgeon, lungfish, carp and salmon. Their numbers rise and fall with the state of the rivers themselves.

The Mekong, the Yangtze, Lake Baikal – these are some of the greatest fresh waterways in the world, supporting millions of people. If the megafish disappear, it is a sign that man will soon be affected.

Zeb's job seems simple: find the world's biggest freshwater fish and study their population trends.
