<p>This study presents an updated checklist of fish species of the Setiu Wetlands and its adjacent waters based on surveys conducted from November 2021 to August 2023. It is a part of a larger conservation program for this biodiversity hotspot. The checklist comprises a total of 138 species belonging to two classes, 24 orders, 60 families, and 109 genera. The richest order is Perciformes, with 26 species, representing 18.8% of the total recorded species, followed by Gobiiformes with 21 (15.2%), Siluriformes, Cypriniformes and Anabantiformes with 12 (8.7%) each, Acanthuriformes 9 (6.5%), and Clupeiformes 7 (5.1%) of the total recorded species. The other orders are represented by less than eight species each. Two species could only be identified at the genus level. Two species from the family Dasyatidae (Order Myliobatiformes), <i>Himantura uarnak</i> and <i>Brevitrygon walga</i> are listed by the IUCN as Vulnerable (VU) and Near Threatened (NT), respectively. The remaining species are categorized as either Least Concern (LC), Data Deficient (DD) or Not Evaluated (NE). The DD and NE categories call for more taxonomic studies to bridge the knowledge gaps. The presence of two introduced species in the natural waters is of some concern. Thus, this updated checklist lays a sound foundation for the conservation of fish diversity in Setiu Wetlands, with its important biological and fisheries functions.</p>

摘要

This study presents an updated checklist of fish species of the Setiu Wetlands and its adjacent waters based on surveys conducted from November 2021 to August 2023. It is a part of a larger conservation program for this biodiversity hotspot. The checklist comprises a total of 138 species belonging to two classes, 24 orders, 60 families, and 109 genera. The richest order is Perciformes, with 26 species, representing 18.8% of the total recorded species, followed by Gobiiformes with 21 (15.2%), Siluriformes, Cypriniformes and Anabantiformes with 12 (8.7%) each, Acanthuriformes 9 (6.5%), and Clupeiformes 7 (5.1%) of the total recorded species. The other orders are represented by less than eight species each. Two species could only be identified at the genus level. Two species from the family Dasyatidae (Order Myliobatiformes), Himantura uarnak and Brevitrygon walga are listed by the IUCN as Vulnerable (VU) and Near Threatened (NT), respectively. The remaining species are categorized as either Least Concern (LC), Data Deficient (DD) or Not Evaluated (NE). The DD and NE categories call for more taxonomic studies to bridge the knowledge gaps. The presence of two introduced species in the natural waters is of some concern. Thus, this updated checklist lays a sound foundation for the conservation of fish diversity in Setiu Wetlands, with its important biological and fisheries functions.
