The Lawyers Council of Thailand is planning to file a lawsuit against private companies and state agencies which are responsible for the spread of blackchin tilapia, an invasive species from west Africa which is quickly taking over the country's waterways.
A team of lawyers from the council on Sunday set up a booth at a temple in Samut Songkhram's Amphawa district, where residents who have been affected by the invasive fish species could register to take part in the lawsuit or submit evidence showing the damage caused by the fish.
