Abstract

The ichthyological study was conducted in Mendalam river system on 6 May to 24 May 1998 in Mendalam River and 21 its tributaries, a sub river system of Kapuas River Basin. These were included in 44 sampling stations. This work conducted in conjunction with the establishment and management of Betung Kerihun National Park collected 69 fishes species. These belong to 12 familia, 39 genera and 5 ordo. The most common fishes were those belonging to Cyprinidae (47.88%), Balitoridae (14.08%) dan Cobitidae (12,67%). At least eleven species endemic to Borneo were found. They are Garra borneensis, Grynocheihisptistulosus, Hampala bimaculata, Homaloptera stephensoni, Neogastrotnvzon niewenliitisi, N. pauciradiatus, Osphronemus septemfasciatus, Paracrossocliilus acerus, Rasbora vo/lzi, Acrochordonichthys chameleon, and Gastromyzon embalohensis. Most of the fishes found constitute ornamental and consummed fishes, which are economically important.
