Length-weight relationship and condition factor of fish populations in Temengor Reservoir: indication of environmental health

Length-weight relationship (LWR) and condition factor of seven fish species from the Temengor Reservoir, Peninsular Malaysia were analyzed. A total of 1155 individuals belonging to two families namely Nandidae and Cyprinidae were measured and weighed. The most highly represented family was Cyprinida...

A total of 1155 individuals belonging to two families namely Nandidae and Cyprinidae were measured and weighed. The most highly represented family was Cyprinidae which comprised six species.
