Abstract:
A survey on fish diversity was carried out at 19 streams in the Bau Limestone Area. Thirty-five species representing 25 genera and 15 families were recorded. This seems to be the first record of fish fauna from the Bau Limestone Area. Twenty-six species recorded for the first time on this survey bring the total number of fish species known from Sarawak limestone habitats to 74. Of the 35 species identified from this collection, six are endemic to Borneo, and two are introduced species. Fishes of the family Cyprinidae seem to be the most abundant with 66% of the total individuals collected followed by the Hemiramphidae (11%), Balitoridae (5%) and Channidae (4%).
