Abstract
A survey of freshwater fish community in Kuala Kelapah a part of Taman Negara National Park Kuala Tahan Pahang was conducted in conjunction with the 2015 Biodiversity Inventory Programme organised by the Department of Wildlife and National Parks. A total of 544 individual fishes were caught; belonging to 12 families 28 genera and 34 species. Cyprinidae was found to be the most dominant family (87.32). Out of 34 species Lobocheilos rhabdoura was the most abundant species recorded amounting to 45.96 of all individuals caught. One species has been listed as Near Threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) which is Bagarius yarrelli. The number of species found was higher in Sungai Sat (28 species) compared to in Sungai Kelapah (19 species). Thirteen similar species were found in both rivers showing that the occurrence of similar species between these rivers was 38.24. The species composition and richness of freshwater fish are mainly influenced by habitat profile and physico-chemical parameters of the water. Species diversity at Kuala Kelapah was low and the distribution is mainly dominated by one single species.
