Abstract

A survey of coastal marine and estuarine fishes and their abundance was carried out during the Lower Kinabatangan “ Segama Wetlands LKSW Scientific Expedition in June 2014. The survey concentrated in the Kulamba Bay area a coastal lagoon in the southern part of the Kinabatangan River catchment. Fishes were collected from six localities using various fishing gears namely gillnet cast net longline and hand line. Water depth and hydrological parameters pH DO salinity TDS current speed water temperature were recorded for each locality and are presented herein. A total of 56 species comprising 45 genera 28 families in 9 orders were recorded. Almost all the coastal marine and estuarine fish species recorded from Kulamba Bay occur elsewhere within the State of Sabah. The most abundant Category 5 of the log3 abundance category fish families are Ariidae and Plotosidae catfishes/ikan duri Engraulidae thryssa/kasai Gobiidae gobies/belodok Mugilidae mullets/belanak and Sciaenidae croakers/gelama whereas a few other families are represented by just a single specimen Category 1 log‚ abundance.
