Species composition and abundance of peat swamp fishes in selected areas of Selangor, Malaysia

A total of 22 species of freshwater fish representing 10 families were collected from peat swamp area of Kuala Langat and Sungai Dusun in Selangor. Five families, comprised of 16 species were found in Kuala Langat and 15 species belonging to 10 families in Sungai Dusun peat swamp areas. Osphronemi...
