Fish fauna and water quality of Batang Lemanak : effects of logging and its implications towards riverine fish management

This study was conducted to determine the diversity of fish communities in Batang Lemanak and the effects of changes in aquatic environment especially the effects of increasing suspended solid (TSS) towards the freshwater fish species. TSS loading was calculated based on the river hydrology. Another...
