The amphibians of Cambodia are diverse.
Species collected for human consumption are Hoplobatrachus rugulosus , Fejervarya limnocharis , Glyphoglossus molossus , pulchra]], Duttaphrynus melanostictus , and Pelophylax lateralis (with P. lateralis found only north of the Mekong river in localities such as Snuol district, Kratié province). [1] Kaloula mediolineata is also likely consumed in northern Cambodia. Glyphoglossus molossus is the species most vulnerable to harvesting activities, while wild populations of Hoplobatrachus rugulosus are also declining due to intensive harvesting.
Fejervarya limnocharis is a species of frog found in South East Asia and parts of Indochina. It is known under many common names, including Boie's wart frog, rice field frog, and Asian grass frog. Molecular studies of the species complex suggest that there may be multiple species involved.
