Survey location was in Sababilah Lake, Raya Lake and Ganting Lake. There were 56 species in Sababilah Lake, 27 species in Raya Lake and 51 species in Ganting Lake. Each lake had typical species i.e. Cyclocheilichthys janthochir in Raya Lake, Hemirhampodhon tengah, Luciocephalus pulcher, Ompok weberi and Mystus olyroides in Sababilah Lake. Dominant species were Channa pleuropthalmus in Raya Lake, Belontia hasselti, Channa bankanensis) in Sababilah Lake, and Leptobarbus melanopterus Key and Thynnichthys polylepis) in Ganting Lake.
