Journal Title: Journal of Research in Biology - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
A study on fish diversity and community of two reservoirs in Hulu Gerik was carried out from August 2009 to December 2009. The two selected reservoirs were Temengor Reservoir and Bersia Reservoir. The aim of this study is to compare the community structures of freshwater fish population between these two reservoirs. A total of 15 species which comprise of six families were recorded in this study. Twelve species were recorded in Temengor Reservoir whereas 13 species were recorded in Bersia Reservoir. The best represented family in both reservoirs was Cyprinidae with eight species in Temengor Reservoir and seven species in Bersia Reservoir. Cyclocheilichthys apogon was selected for the length-weight relationship and condition factor analysis. C. apogon showed a better growth in Bersia Reservoir in comparison to Temengor Reservoir
