Abstract
An ichthyological survey was carried out at Pergau Reservoir and its catchment area during the scientific expedition of Pergau Reservoir that was held on 28th October to 2nd November 2019. The objective of this study is to determine fish checklist present at the reservoir and its catchment area. Various sampling gears were used to maximize fish collections such as eletrofishing, cast nets, gill-nets, rod fishing and scoop nets. A total of 20 fish species from 10 families were recorded during the study. Two fish species listed as ‘Data Deficient’ category, Tor tambra (Malayan Mahseer) and Betta kuehnei (Betta) were also recorded, indicating proper management plan should be carried out to preserve important species from being overexploited. The present study also added new recorded fish checklist, Macrognathus maculatus to the total fish checklist. So, the total of combined fish checklist from past to present studies were 49 fish species including four non-native species. This information is helpful for the development of management plan of Sultan Ismail Petra Ecosystem Protection Park that is currently in the process of the gazzetment.
