Abstract
Marine fish in Malaysian waters are impacted by various stressors,
including resource exploitation, urbanization and industrialization. Therefore,
this study examines the fish diversity and distribution at five sampling
stations with different natural processes and anthropogenic activities in the
coastal waters of Pulau Pinang, Malaysia. A total of
669 fish specimens belonging to 47 species from 23 families were collected
using drift nets in two sampling periods from October to November 2017 and
October to November 2019. The fish abundance is determined based
on the catch per unit effort, (CPUE ind/hour). Among
the dominant families, Leiognathidae and Ariidae accounted for 21.22 and 14.44 of
the total catch, respectively. Three fish species, namely, Eubleekeria splendens, Anodontostoma chacunda, and Pennahia anea, dominated the catches. The CPUE
near the ongoing reclamation projects and landfill was lower than that of the
port and industrial areas with mangrove estuaries. The dendrogram clearly differentiated the fish species composition between the reclamation
sites and natural shorelines. Given no previous research on the fish distribution
along the Pulau Pinang strait featuring different
habitat types, this study therefore serves as a contemporary fish assemblage
for future research and surveys.
Keywords: Fish diversity; mangrove; Pulau Pinang strait;
reclamation; urbanization
Abstrak
Ikan marin di perairan Malaysia terkesan oleh pelbagai tekanan, termasuk eksploitasi sumber, pembandaran dan perindustrian. Oleh itu, kajian ini meneliti kepelbagaian dan taburan ikan di lima stesen persampelan dengan proses semula jadi dan aktiviti antropogenik yang berbeza di perairan pantai Pulau Pinang, Malaysia. Sebanyak 669 spesimen ikan tergolong daripada 47 spesies daripada 23 famili telah dikumpul menggunakan pukat hanyut dalam dua tempoh persampelan iaitu dari Oktober hingga November 2017 dan Oktober hingga November 2019. Kelimpahan ikan ditentukan berdasarkan tangkapan per unit usaha (TPUU; ind/jam).
Antara famili yang dominan ialah Leiognathidae dan Ariidae yang masing-masing menyumbang kepada 21.22 dan 14.44 daripada jumlah keseluruhan tangkapan. Tiga spesies ikan iaitu, Eubleekeria splendens, Anodontostoma chacundadan Pennahia anea mendominasi tangkapan ini. TPUU berhampiran projek penambakan yang sedang dijalankan dan tapak pelupusan adalah rendah berbanding kawasan pelabuhan dan perindustrian yang berhampiran dengan muara bakau. Dendogram membezakan dengan jelasnya komposisi spesies ikan antara tapak penambakan dan garisan pantai semula jadi. Memandangkan tiada kajian terdahulu mengenai taburan ikan di sepanjang selat Pulau Pinang yang menampilkan jenis habitat yang berbeza, oleh itu kajian ini berfungsi sebagai himpunan ikan kontemporari untuk penyelidikan dan tinjauan pada masa depan.
Kata kunci: Bakau; kepelbagaian ikan; pembandaran; penambakan; selat Pulau Pinang
