description |
The study of distribution of freshwater fishes is important for understanding factors that
influence the structure of fish community. Sungai Raya is important fishing ground for
Iban community in the area and as well serve as recreational site. This study on fishes at
Sungai Raya aims to determine species changes along a distance gradient from a
longhouse that could lead to loss of species at local place. It is hypothesized that the
intensity of fishing activity and anthropogenic disturbance decreases with distance from
the longhouse. The second hypothesis implies that species changes or turnover of fish
will also decrease with distance from the longhouse. Fish sampling was conducted at three
sites located approximately at 200 m, 400 m, and 600 m from the longhouse. At each
sampling site, about 10 m stretch of the stream channel was blocked with nets at upstream
and downstream. The fish trapped in the blocked area were captured using scoop net. A
total of 102 individuals from five species were caught. A beta diversity index was used
to determine the species turnover at each site. The finding of the study enhances our
understanding of species richness change due to the intensity of fishing activity along a
distance gradient from human settlement. |
