Assessment of fish diversity in relation to ecological variables to enhance productivity of Daro estuarine ecosystems (Rajang Delta), Sarawak

This research group focuses on investigating biology of aquatic organisms and their relationships with environments to better inform scientific understanding and management of biodiversity. We work on aquatic organisms ranging from microbes to shellfishes and fishes, and aquatic ecosystems as diverse as freshwater, brackish water, coastal and terrestrial areas.

A) Assessment of fish diversity in relation to ecological variables to enhance productivity of Daro estuarine ecosystems (Rajang Delta), Sarawak

Introduction:

Daro estuarine ecosystems is an important part of Rajang delta of Sarawak, which supports the livelihoods of a large number of fishermen. Studies have been conducted to assess fish fauna in Rajang, where the species composition and abundance of fishes are neglected in relation to biotic integrity and ecological variables. It is expected that the fish composition in Rajang river ecosystem is greatly influenced by the ambient ecological parameters. The objectives of this project are to identify the fish diversity and composition in Daro estuarine ecosystems, to investigate the maturation biology and feeding ecology of common fish species, determine the relationships between fish diversity and assess the biotic integrity of Rajang river as well as its physico-chemical parameters of river water. This project is funded by Ministry of Higher Education Malaysia under the Fundamental Research Grant Scheme (Project No 07-01-19-2209FR).
