Abstract. Roesma DI, Tjong DH, Aidil DR, Prawira FDL, Saputra A. 2024. Freshwater fish diversity from Siberut Island, a small island in the western part of Sumatra, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 25: 836-845. Indonesia is an archipelagic country with thousands of islands, including small islands with a variety of biodiversity, such as freshwater fish. Data and information on the fish biodiversity of small islands in the western part of Sumatra are limited, including Siberut Island. A study on freshwater fish diversity in Siberut Island was carried out using morphological and molecular methods. The study was conducted on seven rivers in the North and South Siberut Districts, Siberut Island. The study obtained 676 individuals, including 34 species, 26 genera, 16 families, and 10 orders. Oxudecidae is the family with the largest species (8), and Rasbora jacobsoni has the highest number of individuals (341). Species richness ranged from 2 to 18 species per site and was highest in the Srilanggai River. Siberut Island has low-moderate freshwater fish diversity. As many as 90 DNA barcodes of individuals from 34 species have been submitted to the Barcode of Life Data System. Freshwater fish groups do not receive enough attention from local communities and the government because of the richness of marine fish on Siberut Island. Apart from functioning as evidence of species richness, the results of this study are also useful for local communities' education.

Abstract. Putri UK, Roesma DI, Tjong DH. 2025. Systematics molecular investigation of Palo fish (Betta sp.) in the Harau Valley, West Sumatra using the COI gene. Biodiversitas 26: 698-705. Palo fish (Betta sp.) is a local ornamental fish in the Harau Valley, Lima Puluh Kota, West Sumatra, Indonesia, which was suspected to be a new species from the Betta of the Pugnax group based on the Cytochrome b gene. Molecular investigations using more reliable genes were needed to validate the taxonomic status of Palo fish and determine the phylogenetic relationship with other Betta species. The cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene has been recognized for identification at the species level. Liver tissue samples were taken from eight Palo fish individuals from four Rangkak Hill tributaries in Harau Valley. Eight Palo fish and 44 comparison sequences were analyzed using the Aliview, IQ Tree, and MEGA VII programs. The 641 bp COI gene sequences analysis showed that Palo fish from four tributaries in Harau Valley had 100% nucleotide base similarity (identical), which shared the same haplotype. Palo fish have a close relationship with Betta stigmosa and have the least genetic distance to Betta cf. apollon (2.6%), followed by Betta ferox (3.1%) and Betta apollon (3.7%). The genetic distance values show the differences at the subspecies level within the same species. Palo fish from Harau Valley confirmed as Betta cf. stigmosa. Comprehensive studies on Betta species need to be carried out to complete the systematics of the Betta group.
