Since September, the Selangor government has been conducting weekly trapping operations in Sungai Langat to control the population of invasive suckermouth catfish (ikan bandaraya). The efforts have resulted in the capture of four tonnes of the fish so far.
SINCE the launch of an operation to trap an invasive fish species, four tonnes of suckermouth catfish have been caught in Sungai Langat.
“We are seeing a decline in the amount of ikan bandaraya caught in recent weeks compared to when the operation started. The trapping operation would be expanded to other state rivers to curb the invasive fish species’ population in Selangor, Izham said. “We will also offer a reward of RM1 per kilogramme of the fish caught,” he said, adding that the offer would continue until the allocation was exhausted.It was also reported that about one tonne of ikan bandaraya was caught during a competition at Sungai Damansara.These efforts by Selangor government and Fisheries Department aim to preserve the biodiversity of rivers in the state.
