in Amazon Area Helps Save Huge Endangered Fish' data-article-id='6281'><script src='//news-app-staging.herokuapp.com/javascripts/getscripts.js'></script><link rel='stylesheet' href='//news-app-staging.herokuapp.com/stylesheets/article.css' type='text/css' /><div class='article'><p><span data-start-time='0' data-end-time='10354'>A controlled fishing system in Brazil’s Amazon River area is helping to save an endangered fish.</span> <span data-start-time='10354' data-end-time='13938'>The fish is the piraruc. </span> <span data-start-time='13938' data-end-time='19500'>It is also known in Brazil as arapaima. </span> <span data-start-time='19500' data-end-time='32771'>The piraruc is believed to be the largest of 2,300 different kinds of fish known to live in the Amazon Basin. </span> <span data-start-time='32771' data-end-time='40292'>It can grow to be three meters long and weigh up to 200 kilograms.</span> <span data-start-time='40292' data-end-time='48250'>The fish mostly live in lakes across large areas of the Brazilian Amazon. </span> <span data-start-time='48250' data-end-time='53729'>They are carnivores, meaning they feed on other fish.</span> <span data-start-time='53729' data-end-time='60938'>The piraruc is considered endangered because of overfishing. </span> <span data-start-time='60938' data-end-time='72188'>Illegal fishing activities left many communities struggling to find the fish, which traditionally is an important food.</span> <span data-start-time='72188' data-end-time='80521'>In recent years, however, illegal fishing of the piraruc has been sharply reduced. </span> <span data-start-time='80521' data-end-time='85063'>And the fish has increasingly been recovering. </span> <span data-start-time='85063' data-end-time='99521'>The Associated Press (AP) reports the improvements came after efforts that included close cooperation between communities and complex logistics.</span> <span data-start-time='99521' data-end-time='107979'>One of the unusual things about piraruc is that they need to breathe air to survive. </span> <span data-start-time='107979' data-end-time='113417'>The fish need to take at least one breath every 20 minutes. </span> <span data-start-time='113417' data-end-time='116958'>They rise to the surface to do so.</span> <span data-start-time='116958' data-end-time='126625'>This behavior by the fish makes it easier to count how many piraruc are active in an area. </span> <span data-start-time='126625' data-end-time='135083'>A count of the fish is now carried out once a year by fishermen trained to use the method. </span> <span data-start-time='135083' data-end-time='145000'>By law, only 30 percent of piraruc in a certain area can be fished the following year.</span> <span data-start-time='145000' data-end-time='155979'>Piraruc fishing is now done once a year, around September, the period when water levels are lowest.</span> </p></div><div
