: The Department of Fisheries of Malaysia has revealed that six rivers in the Klang Valley are now monopolised by foreign fish species, such as ikan bandaraya , black tilapia and keli afrika .
DOF director-general Datuk Adnan Hussain said the percentage was very concerning as it could cause the development of ecosystem biodiversity in the rivers to stagnate. “Not only that, these fish also do not add much value to the national economy. If this is not stopped, it will lead to the extinction of local fish species in our waters,” he told a media conference after officiating the launch of the Foreign Fish Hunting Programme with the Community in Sungai Kuyoh, Bukit Jalil, near here.
He said the hunting of these species is aimed at balancing the ecosystem to ensure that the country’s river waters are safe for the release of local fish species.
