根據印度媒體報導，比哈邦西昌巴蘭、東昌巴蘭等地區陸續傳出捕獲異常魚類的消息，部分魚隻體型碩大、外形甚至神似海豚，令當地漁民嘖嘖稱奇。部分民眾食用該魚類後身體不適，當地政府馬上發佈警示，呼籲民眾不要販售、購買或食用當地河中的陌生魚類。

漁民驚呼「像海豚」！比哈邦多地釣獲巨型怪魚

據英國《獨立報》報導，自8月26日尼泊爾發生重大洪災以來，翠蘇里河（Trishuli River）氾濫的洪水一路經由干達克河（Gandak）與科西河（Kosi）兩大水系，湧入印度比哈邦境內，隨之而來的不只是大量殘骸雜物，還意外帶來了體型異常、外觀罕見的魚類，甚至還夾雜著人類遺體，情況令人怵目驚心。

#Watch | Nepal Floods: The Bihar government has advised the residents to avoid eating or selling the unusual-looking dead fish swept into the rivers by the Nepal floodwater. The advisory was issued by the Fisheries Division of the Department of Dairy, Fisheries, and Animal Resources amid the reports of consumption of such fish. The department clarified that they are not suitable for eating, further advising the residents to seek medical help if they fall ill upon eating such fish. Govt Issues Advisory In its advisory, the authority advised the residents of Champaran and Gopalganj districts to not sell such fish until their identity and safety are not confirmed. It stated that the floodwater usually sweeps the fishes out of the local water bodies and carries them to long distances. The creatures are usually exposed to contaminated materials and dead bodies during the floodwater, making them vulnerable. #BiharFloods #NepalFloods #GandakRiver #FoodSafety #HealthAlert [Bihar Floods, Nepal Floods, Gandak River, Unusual Fish, Fishery Advisory, Champaran, Gopalganj, Health Risk, The Daily Jagran]

據漁民薩哈尼（Chhatu Sahani）描述，尼泊爾發生洪災之後，比哈邦河川在湍急水勢中出現了不少平時罕見的怪魚；而另一名漁民尼沙德（Vinod Nishad）則表示，這類魚種平常極少捕獲，而且多數上岸後很快就死亡，而近期捕獲的魚隻體型差異明顯，重量從27至38公斤不等，部分甚至高達40至45公斤。

特殊魚種恐藏腐敗風險，已有民眾食用不適

印度野生動物信託基金會主任辛哈（Sameer Kumar Sinha）向《印度時報》分析，大批湧入干達克河的魚類很可能是「巨魾」（Bagarius bagarius），這種魚種原本棲息於印度、尼泊爾以及東南亞部分地區水流湍急的河域。由於此類魚死亡後容易迅速腐敗，他也呼籲民眾務必遵守政府相關警告，提高警覺。

令人擔憂的是，已有部分民眾因食用這些洪水沖出的怪魚而出現身體不適的狀況。對此，比哈邦乳業、漁業與動物資源部門於週一正式發布警告，明令禁止民眾食用、購買或販售任何來源不明的洪災捕獲魚類；與比哈邦接壤的尼泊爾當局，也同步向境內民眾發出類似警示。
