The effect of seasonality on fish species composition and abundance in Rungan river floodplain, Palangkaraya, Central Kalimantan

Abstract

Tropical floodplain rivers are home to the largest fraction of freshwater fish diversity and as such should be a focal point of fish conservation efforts. The aim of this study was to inventory of the fish fauna and analyzing the effect of seasonality on fish species composition and abundance in the Rungan river floodplain at Palangkaraya Municipality. The results of this study provide background data for conserving fish resources. Fishes were sampled at monthly intervals between May 2005 and April 2006 with gillnets of standardized dimensions with several mesh sizes. These were carried out at three stations with different habitat type, includes forested swamp, opened swamp, and river. A total of 4278 fishes were collected consisting of 50 species and 19 families. Seasonality effects on fish species composition and abundance in forested swamp and river. Fish species composition and abundance in opened swamp tend not to drive by seasonality.

The Characteristics of Fish Diversity and Age Structure in Pelus River Area Residency of Banyumas - Indonesia

“…Species variety of Cyprinidae Family is the most numerous and has a wide distribution and has an important role in supporting human life (Triyatmo 2001, Haryono 2004). The most fish species in Serayu River and Logawa River are included in the Cyprinidae Family (Setijanto and Nasution, 2005;Lestari and Sugiharto, 2007;Sulistiyarto et al 2007).…”

“…Ikan ini juga banyak terdapat di perairan lain. misalnya Sungai Musi (Gunadi & Wardoyo, 2006) dan Sungai Rungan di Palangkaraya (Sulistiyarto et al, 2007). Keberadaan ikan ini di Sungai Mekong dan beberapa sungai di Asia Tenggara mulai terancam sebagai akibat degradasi habitat dan penangkapan berlebihan (Kenthao et al, 2018).…”
