Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify alien fish species and their conjunctions that inhabit in Batang Kerang river in Balai Ringin, Sarawak. This research collected ten alien fish individuals from four distinct species, including Trichopodus pectoralis, Pterygoplichthys pardalis, Helostoma temminckii, and Clarias gariepinus. Another 16 indigenous species were found. Among the species are Cyclocheilichthys apogon, Hampala microlepidota, Osteochilus vittatus, Puntius orchoides, Rasbora arudinata, and Leptobarbus rubripinna. Cyclocheilichthys apogon was the most prevalent native species, whereas Pterygoplichthys pardalis was the most prominent alien species. There is no significant different in the composition of native and invasive species (P≥0.05), indicating that alien species have increased in those habitats even if local species continue to dominate.
