Regulations and Restrictions
To control the amount of overharvesting (via fishing) that occurs certain size and catch limits can be put in place. In 1989, the paroon shark was listed as a class II protected species by the government of Yunnan, China. The issue is that the habitat of this species lies in multiple countries' domains including Cambodia, Lao People's Democratic Republic, Thailand, and Viet Nam. Restrictions in parts of the river that reside in China's territory, leave the other parts to be unprotected.

There are some groups in the Asian continent who have been trying to protect and conserve the wildlife in these regions including the Asian Species Action Partnership (ASAP), Species Survival Commission (SSC), and International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
