Reference excerpt

Kittipong Jaruthanin (Thai: กิตติพงษ์ จารุธาณินทร์ or spelt Kittipong Jarutanin; born 1958 in Bangkok) is a Thai nature explorer, ichthyologist, collector, and aquarist known for his extensive fieldwork across Thailand and neighbouring regions. He has explored river basins such as the Mekong, Mae Klong, Salween, and Chao Phraya, as well as unique ecosystems like the Sirindhorn Peat Swamp Forest, the largest peat swamp in Thailand. Kittipong developed a deep interest in freshwater fish from a young age and has been actively involved in fish collection since 1975. In 1982, he focused his research on the paradise threadfin (Polynemus paradiseus), captured from the mouth of the Bangkok Noi Canal near Phra Pinklao Bridge. He is credited as the first person in the world to successfully raise this wild-caught species in captivity, a groundbreaking achievement in freshwater fishkeeping and ichthyology in Thailand. As a discoverer and collaborator, he has contributed numerous freshwater fish and aquatic animal specimens to taxonomy and scientific study, helping to identify many new species worldwide. Notable examples include the giant freshwater stingray (Himantura chaophraya), thinlip barb (Probarbus labeaminor), Schistura jarutanini, S. kayosonei, roughback whipray (Himantura kittipongi), and the Burmese narrow-headed softshell turtle (Chitra vandijki). In the case of the Burmese narrow-headed softshell turtle, Kittipong personally conducted thorough research to confirm it as a new species. Unfortunately, due to delays in the data transmission process, the scientific name he proposed was deemed a synonym (nomen nudum) and thus is not officially recognized. Beyond his scientific pursuits, he is a frequent contributor to aquarium magazines in Thailand. He also owns an aquarium shop specializing in wild-caught fish, located at the Sunday Market within Chatuchak Weekend Market in Bangkok. Additionally, he operates a small private zoo called "Home Zoo," where he keeps exotic pets and rare species such as capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris), flamingos (Phoenicopteridae), Asian narrow-headed softshell turtle (Chitra chitra), Malaysian giant turtle (Orlitia borneensis), albino elephant trunk snake (Acrochordus javanicus), Australian lungfish (Neoceratodus forsteri), Lyle's flying fox (Pteropus lylei), Chinese water dragon (Physignathus cocincinus), and even the famous coco de mer palm (Lodoicea maldivica).

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Kittipong Jaruthanin

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Kittipong Jaruthanin claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Kittipong Jaruthanin before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Kittipong Jaruthanin ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Kittipong Jaruthanin

In research: Kittipong Jaruthanin appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Kittipong Jaruthanin in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Kittipong Jaruthanin is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1958 births, Living people, People from Bangkok, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Kittipong Jaruthanin outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
