Freshwater fish of Ulu Kenas, Perak

Homaloptera nebulosa Alfred 1969

[Type: Sok River at Kompong Sok, Kelantan, Malaysia]

Remark. I am not sure where Sok River is? Anyone can tell me where is Kampung Sok? I love to visit the stream, to see what is 'left' there after almost 40 years! And it would be great to collect the fish, from the type locality for museum collection. This fish was reported from various part of southeast Asia, in flowing stream over rocky bottom.

Betta cf. pi

A fighting fish, Betta pi was originally described from the materials collected from Sungai Kolok (= Golok), on the Thailand side (see Tan and Ng, 2005: 85). It It was predicted to occur in Peninsular Malaysia, inhabiting swamps along the Sungai Kolok, on Kelantan, Malaysia sides. The actual location and the specimen of this species from Peninsular Malaysia is not immediately available. A fish currently recognised as Betta cf. pi was collected during the survey at swamp habitat of Terengganu, resembled closely to the description of Betta pi.

Footnote: chapter 3

Oh! Yes.. Materials for chapter 3 are now ready for 'goreng' (read: write). That is really something. A couple of months ago, the data of modified and natural pools fishes seems to me just as 'plain' as a blank piece of paper. I really don't know what else can I do with the data - what information should I add? Then, what analysis can I do? With a little 'push' form my boss, now I manage to generate tons of information.. And, I can test them with a few different ways. Interesting. I hope to put everything up nicely and write it, for my chapter 3! Oh! Yesss...

Short reports

At last, the preliminary report to State Forestry Department is ready. Lega.. It will be email to them soon. Altogether, 7 reports were prepared with an annotated checklist of fish collected at each site during the MEGA SAMPLING 0808.

The next activity will be completing the report on modified and natural fish assemblages by end of February and at the same time, READ.. Haha..

Hmmm.. What else...???

How nice, eh??
