Bighead Carp: From 5 to 150 centimeters in 37 million years

During excavations in the open lignite-mining pit Na Duong in Vietnam, scientists discovered the world’s oldest bighead carp. With a length of only 5 centimeters, Planktophaga minuta is also the smallest known fossil representative of this East Asian group. Modern bighead carp are among the largest members of the carp family, reaching a length of up to 1.5 meters and a weight of 50 kilograms.
