ABSTRACT
Length-weight relationship (LWR) and condition factor of seven fish species
from the Temengor Reservoir, Peninsular Malaysia were analyzed.
A total of 1155 individuals belonging to two families namely Nandidae
and Cyprinidae were measured and weighed. The most highly represented
family was Cyprinidae which comprised six species. Among these seven
species, three species generally showed positive allometric growth,
two species showed isometric growth and the other two species showed
negative allometric growth. The exponent b value of LWR ranged between 2.601
(Oxygaster anomalura) and 3.157 (Cyclocheilichthys apogon)
with a mean of 2.983. The lowest mean condition factor, K was recorded
in O. anomalura (0.648 ± 0.131) while the highest
value was observed in Pristolepis fasciata (2.194 ±
0.153). This study has contributed to the knowledge of fish populations
in this economically important area that could assist fishery management
scientists in carrying out future ecological studies in line with
the strategies of conservation, restoration and management.

ABSTRAK
Hubungan panjang-berat (LWR) dan faktor keadaan
bagi tujuh spesies ikan dari Empangan Temengor, Semenanjung Malaysia
telah dianalisis. Sejumlah
1155 individu daripada dua famili iaitu Nandidae dan Cyprinidae
telah diukur dan ditimbang. Famili yang
diwakili paling tinggi ialah Cyprinidae yang terdiri daripada enam
spesies. Antara tujuh spesies ini, tiga
spesies menunjukkan pertumbuhan alometrik positif, dua spesies menunjukkan
pertumbuhan isometrik dan dua spesies lagi menunjukkan pertumbuhan
alometrik negatif. Nilai eksponen b daripada LWR berjulat antara 2.601
(Oxygaster anomalura) dan
3.157 (Cyclocheilichthys apogon) dengan purata 2.983.
Purata faktor keadaan, K yang paling rendah direkodkan pada O. anomalura (0.648 ± 0.131) manakala
nilai tertinggi direkodkan pada Pristolepis fasciata (2.194
± 0.153). Kajian ini telah menyumbang kepada pengetahuan populasi ikan di
kawasan yang penting daripada segi ekonomi yang dapat membantu saintis
pengurusan perikanan dalam menjalankan kajian ekologi pada masa
hadapan bersesuaian dengan strategi pemuliharaan, membaikpulih dan
pengurusan.
