Abstract

Malaysia's rivers, such as the Pahang River, harbour a rich diversity of native freshwater fish species crucial for ecological stability and the well-being of local communities. However, the increasing presence of invasive species poses a significant threat to these native populations, reducing biodiversity and disrupting the river ecosystems. This research explores the challenges faced by native freshwater fish in Malaysia's rivers due to invasive species. It outlines the establishment of the Freshwater Fisheries Research and Discovery Centre as a vital initiative to address these issues. The proposed centre will focus on increasing the populations of native fish species through dedicated research, scientific breeding programs, habitat restoration, and strategic reintroduction efforts. By conducting advanced research, the centre aims to develop effective methods for the propagation and conservation of native species. Additionally, the centre will implement systems for early detection and management of invasive species, thereby protecting the native fish populations from further decline
