Out of the 1000 species of freshwater fish documented in the South-East Asian Tropics, 420 species can be found in Malaysia. Based on experimental gill net studies, Perak River recorded a total of 107 fish species, which comprises of 33 families with Cyprinidae as the dominant family, with 43 species. The fluctuating number of species and species replacement in the upstream direction in this river reflects the orientation of the River Continuum Concept. Gradient changes of salinity, habitat heterogeneity, water velocity and riverbed materials are some of the factors that may contribute to the fluctuation and species replacement.
