Customs officers are investigating the discovery of 16 live fish in the baggage of an airline steward at Melbourne Airport.
Customs alleges the asian arowana fish were found in the 26-year-old's bag after a flight from Vietnam yesterday.
The 20-centimetre-long fish, stored in water-filled plastic bags, were seized after an irregularity in luggage X-rays.
Customs say the fish are highly endangered and could have caused serious quarantine, environmental and health risks.
