| Summary: | The composition of the fish fauna within an ecosystem is closely related to the
type of habitats present as well as water quality of the particular ecosystem. The
diversity of fish can vary due to changes in the environment. Fishes such as
oreochromis, channa artd clarias are known to be hardy, as they can torerate
polluted environments; others, such as probarbus jullieni, Acrossocheilus auratus
and Barbonymus schwanenfeldii are restricted to unpolluted environments
(Zakaria and Fatimah, 2oo2). The degraded habitat of riverine ecosystem may
cause the endangerment of fish species (Rahman et ar., ntz). This study
describes the fish composition near the mangroves of the Sadon g laya area.
This chapter presents information on the fish fauna o? the sadong
mangroves. Urbanization and intense human intervention were observed within
the mangrove areas of Sadong |aya, factors known to resurt in stress, increase
river pollution and environmental deterioration. |
