Implication

Field survey reveals moderate species diversity with high evenness across riverine fish communities, suggesting a relatively balanced freshwater aquatic ecosystem.

Key Points

Determine the composition, diversity, dominance, evenness, and richness of fish species inhabiting the Batang Bungo River.
Conducted sampling from March to May 2022 across three designated river stations: Dusun Buat, Dusun Rantau Pandan, and Dusun Rantau Duku.
Captured fish using gillnets, cast nets, traps, shooting, longline fishing, and fixed fishing gear in coordination with local fishers.
Captured a total of 505 fish comprising 18 species across 5 orders, with the order Cypriniformes representing the vast majority of genera (14 genera).
Recorded a medium fish species diversity index (Hˈ) of 2.576, an evenness index (E) of 0.891, a low dominance index (C') of 0.095, and a species richness index (R) of 2.731.
