Background Redang Islands Marine Park consists of nine islands in the state of Terengganu, Malaysia. Redang Island is one of the largest off the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia, which is famous for its crystal-clear waters and white sandy beaches. The ichthyofauna of the Redang archipelago was surveyed by underwater visual observations between August 2016 and May 2018. Census data were compiled with existing records into the checklist of the marine fish of the Redang archipelago presented herein. A total of 314 species belonging to 51 families were recorded. The most speciose families (Pomacentridae, Labridae, Scaridae, Serranidae, Apogonidae, Carangidae, Gobiidae, Chaetodontidae, Lutjanidae, Nemipteridae and Siganidae) were also amongst the most speciose at the neighbouring Tioman archipelago (except Chaetodontidae). The coral fish diversity index value for the six families of coral reef fishes (Chaetodontidae, Pomacanthidae,

The fishes of Taiwan comprise total 2450 species in 250 families, about 1/10 of the world's fishes. Curatorial and distributional data of Taiwanese fish have been integrated into a database that can be accessed interactively on the Internet at http://fishdb.sinica.edu.tw. The database includes the following items: basic information and specimen photo of each species, distributional database, bibliographic database, curatorial database, inquiring system for Chinese fish names of the world fishes, and new version of erratum of 'Fishes of Taiwan'. The above regional database of Taiwanese fishes provides hyperlinks to fish data for each species in the global fish data, FishBase, of ICLARM (http://www.fishbase.org). Through the collaboration with FishBase and other global networks for taxonomic purposes, like Species 2000, BioNet, or GBIF (Global Biodiversity Information Facilities), users in the world can also obtain updated data provided by Taiwan. We hope our experience with database establishment can be used as a model to help other countries to develop their own regional fish databases or even to build up databases of other groups of organisms. There should be one good approach for all people in the world for sharing complete and updated biodiversity information via the Internet.

An annotated checklist of the fishes recorded from the Rajang basin in Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo, from its headwaters to the brackish waters near its mouth, is presented. At least 164 species are recorded, collected mainly by several recent expeditions to Belaga and the Balui River, Kapit and the Baleh River, and around Sibu. Sixty-four fish species are recorded for the first time in the Rajang basin, two of which (Pangio piperata and Macrognathus circumcinctus) are new records for Borneo. The list should be treated as preliminary as many areas in the Rajang system have not been sampled. The list fills a critical gap in our knowledge of the fishes of Sarawak and includes the first report on fishes of the Batang Balui, a headwater tributary of the Rajang. KEY WORDS.-Fish diversity, species checklist, new records, Rajang basin, Sarawak, Borneo. FISH FAUNA OF THE RAJANG BASIN CLASS ACTINOPTERYGII DIVISION TELEOSTEI ORDER OSTEOGLOSSIFORMES FAMILY OSTEOGLOSSIDAE Scleropages formosus (Schlegel & Müller, in Müller & Schlegel, 1844) * Material examined.-1 ex. (BMNH 1906.10.29.3), Rajang. Remarks.-The 500 mm SL specimen at BMNH was obtained by Charles Hose sometime before 1906. There appear to be no further records from the Rajang basin. Authority of the species follows Eschmeyer (1998). Pouyaud et al. (2003) reviewed the Asian arowanas and described three species that appear to have restricted distributions in Borneo and Sumatra: Scleropages legendrei in the Lake Sentarum area of the Upper Kapuas basin, S. macrocephalus in the Kapuas and Barito basins, and S. aureus in central Sumatra. Scleropages formosus is widespread and seems to live in sympatry with the other three species. Pouyard et al. (2003) overlooked the Rajang specimen that is likely to be Scleropages formosus, the most widespread of the four species. FAMILY NOTOPTERIDAE Chitala borneensis (Bleeker, 1851a) * Material examined.-2 ex. (USNM 320968), LRP91-18. Remarks.-The two USNM specimens measure 535 mm and 560 mm in SL. They have a uniform pale golden background colour, with small black spots on the caudal fin and the posterior portion of the body and the anal fin, and a black spot behind the pectoral-fin base. These specimens were purchased in the Belaga market and appear to have been taken on hook-and-line. ORDER CLUPEIFORMES FAMILY CLUPEIDAE Sundasalanx microps Roberts, 1981 * Material examined.-1 ex. (USNM 322199), LRP91-12. Remarks.-In placing Sundasalanx in Clupeiformes rather than Salmoniformes, as in the original description, we follow the most recent treatment of its relationships by Siebert (1997). Apparently this is the first record of the genus Sundasalanx for Sarawak.

Celukan Bawang port is located in Buleleng Regency, Bali, Indonesia. The area of Celukan Bawang Port has a coral reef ecosystem that is very rarely found in Indonesian ports. The coral reef has an important role for coral reef fish as their habitat. This study aims to conduct coral reef fish in the Celukan Bawang port area. A survey was conducted by using UVC (Underwater Visual Census) method at four (4) stations in October 2019. The coral-reef fish family identified in this research consisted of 853 individuals belonging to 14 families and 34 species. The dominant family were Pomacentridae (63.53%), Labridae (25.21%), Achanthuridae (2.70%), Chaetodontidae (1.17%), and Ptereleotrididae (1.17%). The most abundant species were Dascyllus trimaculatus (2270 ind/ha), Halichoeres prosopeion (1550 ind/ha), and Pomacentrus coelestis (95 ind/ha). Shannon-Wiener diversity index value was 2.414, and there were no dominant species observed.

Surveys on the distribution of fish fauna in Keniam River, Taman Negara Pahang were conducted from 16 th -22 nd March 2011. Fish were sampled from 12 stations from 3 different zones of the river, namely, the upper reaches, middle reaches, and lower reaches. A total of 17 fish species belonging to 4 families were recorded. Analyses based on the number of individuals caught showed that 82% of total catch was represented by the Cyprinids. Mystus nemurus and Mystacoelucus marginatus were the most distributed within the Keniam River being present in the upper, middle and lower reaches of the river. Species richness (Margalef's D) for fish ranged from 2.33 to 2.96 while the Shannon-Weiner (H') Diversity index ranged from 1.80 to 2.07. The upper reaches recorded highest diversity (H'=2.07, D=2.96) as compared to the other zones of the Keniam River. Approximately 82% or 14 species of the fishes sampled were juveniles or sub adults based on the ratio of their mean standard length to their maximum attainable length.

The Darvel Bay is a large semi-enclosed bay with spectacular natural land and seascape. The inward side of the Bay has only been recently known to be an important foraging ground for the endangered, threatened and protected (ETP) elasmobranch species, such as the Whale Shark and mobulid rays. Following a recent scientific expedition, we present a checklist of the coral reef fishes of Darvel Bay. A note on the biodiversity and community structure is presented, based on our analysis using diversity indices, univariate and multivariate approaches. Seven natural coral reefs comprising two fringing reefs and five patch reefs, were surveyed at 10 m depth using underwater visual census (UVC) and baited remote underwater video station (BRUVS) methods. A diverse list of 66 species of reef fishes from 17 families is recorded. However, this is overwhelmingly dominated by the small-sized omnivorous damselfish, family Pomacentridae (62%; N = 1485 individuals). Species richness and abundance were...
