Fish Composition and Fisheries at Downstream and Upstream of Baram River, Sarawak

The study on diversity and distribution of freshwater fishes at downstream and upstream of Baram River was carried out on 1st - 5th July 2014 and 19th - 23rd January 2015. The fishes were caught using cast net and gill net of various mesh sizes. In Baram River, fishes from the family Cyprinidae were...
