This will be the 'introduction' to the page on freshwater fish fauna of Malaysia. I purposely choose to do a write up on freshwater fishes of Malaysia since we don't have one! So, this will cover fishes that inhabits inland water of Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak. It will take some times to complete but, what the heck.. I just do it slowly, at my own time.. Well, it is not going to be 'converted' to book but the possibility is there. From my pers. comm. with a few friends, soon there will be a 'great big book' on Freshwater Fishes of Southeast Asia! However, this will benefit anyone who is interested in fish fauna inhabits inland and to some extend, estuaries of Malaysia. Since it is on Malaysia, I shall includes material found in Peninsular Malaysia (Note. Not Malay Peninsular).
Since this will be something like 'picture-guided' page, entry will base on species-by-species. Surely, whatever picture I have, I try to put it here. Don't expect it to be the best, but I do hope it will help.. I'll try to give references where possible in pdf for anyone interested to 'explore' more. Else, I shall cited a few publications that are relevant.
Lim & Tan (2002) defining freshwater fish as "fish species that spend their adult lives and breed in freshwater beyond tidal influence". I'll used this definition throughout my entry. Nomenclature follows Lim & Tan (2002), except for the genus Systomus which replaces Puntius (after Rainboth, 1996: 103).

Finally... It's done...!!!
I am glad.. Finally, what I'd planned for a month or so, was completed. I am so happy but tired at the same time.. The megasampling took place with the help of so many people..
I thank everyone who help me in many, many ways.. (see ameyahmad Back in Dundee, Sept 13 2009)
Next year will be another round! See ye..

The trip is on..
YES..!!! I got my team.. Not full but enough to make the trip round Malaya.. I got Usop onboard, Hairol and Amzar too.. Amzar may be have to parted early but I guess I might change the plan a bit so that he could be around for his sister wedding..
I'm not sure about Min but Nadia willing to come.. May be Natrah can join for the northern trip.. Hohoho.. I can't wait to hit the road..

Calling to join the second team!!
Anyone...!!! I'm looking for the second team.. To those wishes to be in the second team and join me on the road as I pass by or about to reach your area or where we could meet, please leave your email and telephone number (mobile, please!) in 'comment' or email me at ameyahmad@gmail.com
I'll contact you to join me for a shorter trip - probably visiting 2, 3 sites like that.. Just to give you some idea how tough sampling can be and some exosure that may be useful for you in the future.. Don't worry about food and accomodation, it's free.. But if you want to pay for your food, and me too.., that's great.. Hahaha..

Mega sampling 0808
So far.., so good...
Hairol and Usop; my former students are already agree to follow.. Great!! I wish Feh and Amzar to be in the team.. Duke may not be possible to follow but if he could, it would be really great.. I had them with me at Bukit Bauk, then Sg. Galas, sampling Amzar.. It's really great!! Can't wait to wade the stream again with them..
IF Syed and Along can come, that will be a bonus.. I've yet to ask Along.. Not expecting him to follow because he might be busy with his gerai.. I'll call Feh amd Amzar later.. Amzar got something that I aware but Feh yet to hear from him..
Just in case, my second team is ready to kick off the trip.. May be take the second team partially to help with non-muscle work.. Hehe.. So, Nadia, Cik Min, Pae, Shima and Natrah.., get ready.. When I pass by your area, I'll give you a call..
Orait..
