According to foreign media, including Singtao Daily, a freshwater fish more than 2 meters long approached the head of a Russian woman, Marsha (22), who was performing in mermaid attire at the Xishuangbanna Aquarium Mekong Aquarium in Yunnan Province, China on the 28th.
The freshwater fish immediately put Marsha's head in its mouth. Visitors and children screamed in horror when they saw it.
Marsha struggled with all her might and fortunately managed to escape the fish.
With her goggles off, Marsha quickly swam to the surface and out of the aquarium.
She had injuries to her head, neck and eyes, bruising and tearing marks were clear.
Russian media claimed that Marsha was injured and in pain, but returned to the aquarium's water to continue her performance.
Since then, the aquarium has reportedly offered about 700 yuan (about 140,000 won) 'Ethical Compensation' and asked Marsha not to disclose the details of the accident to the outside world.
Meanwhile, the Mekong Aquarium is home to many native fish and rare amphibians living in the Mekong and Yangtze rivers. The exact type of fish that attacked Marsha has not been identified, but claims have been made that it is believed to be a sturgeon.
