Abstract

The research was carried out aiming to report for the first time the presence of Oreochromis niloticus on Belitung Island (Indonesia), updating the invasion range of this species. The presence of non-native fish can have a negative impact on aquatic species communities through competition for resources, predation, hybridization, habitat modification, disease transmission (infection or parasitism), and genetic effects. We carried out an expedition to obtain O. niloticus specimens on January 20 and 25 2023, around six O. niloticus specimens were caught in the Lenggang River, Lenggang Village, Gantung District, East Belitung Regency, Belitung Island, Indonesia. Results from observations of meristic and morphological characteristics led to several specimens collected on Belitung Island being identified as Oreochromis niloticus. Discovery of O. Niloticus in the Lenggang River, as a new record representing the species' invasion range approximately 226 km to the east of Bangka Island. The discovery of this species contributes to understanding the extent of expansion and invasion of O. niloticus in Indonesia. This information is very important for classifying and determining river conservation strategies, as well as for planning efforts to protect ecosystems, especially from non-native species that have the potential to become invasive species.

Abstract

This study aims to report the presence of Tilapia Tilapia Oreochromis niloticus on Bangka Island (Indonesia) for the first time and update the invasion range of this species. Previously, this species had invaded various areas in Indonesia such as Sumatra, Java, and Sulawesi. The presence of Invasive Nila Tilapia can have a negative impact on aquatic biota through food competition, predation, and disease transmission. A total of 30 tilapia specimens were caught using Anco's fishing gear which was installed for 2 minutes consisting of mature and seeds, ranging in size from 20mm to 90mm in the Mang Kalok River, Rebo Village, Bangka Induk Regency, Bangka Island, Indonesia through a field expedition on June 11, 2023. A description of the morphological characters of the captured specimens is provided in the discussion.

Abstract

Sepuluh jenis ikan yang dijumpai di perairan Tebat Rasau merupakan iktiofauna eksotik yang berpotensi menjadi ikan endemik Pulau Belitung. Hingga saat ini, masih minim kajian pada spesimen yang berstatus konservasi hampir punah maupun yang berstatus least concern ini. Penelitian ini mengkaji pada iktiofauna eksotik di Tebat Rasau, Desa Lintang, Belitung Timur menggunakan metode deskriptif eksploratif. Sepuluh jenis ikan dijumpai di perairan Tebat Rasau yang memiliki kondisi perairan dengan pH 5,73, suhu 26,1oC dan oksigen terlarut 11,4 ppm. Perairan di Tebat Rasau memiliki substrat gambut dan banyak ditumbuhi Pandaus sp. yang menutupi sebagian badan perairan. Terdapat lima jenis ikan dari perairan Tebat Rasau yang tidak dijumpai pada penelitian sebelumnya, yaitu Ikan Arwana (Scleropages formosus), Ikan Gurame Cokelat (Sphaerichthys selatanensis), Ikan Temeliyongan (Chaca bankanensis), Ikan Gurami Paros (Parosphromenus cf bintan) dan Ikan Bebidis (Brevibora cheeya).

Abstract

Freshwater fish biodiversity in Belitung Island has undergone a significant decline due to extensive tin mining activities and the rapid expansion of oil palm plantations. In response to these ecological pressures, a biodiversity assessment was conducted in 2024 in the Lenggang River system—an ancient freshwater ecosystem located in East Belitung, Indonesia. The primary aim was to document native and endemic fish species and to establish a reintroduction-based conservation strategy tailored to the river's ecological context. Field surveys recorded high ichthyofaunal diversity, from which 32 native species were selected for reintroduction based on ecological value, conservation status, endemism, and their capacity to adapt to rehabilitated habitats. Among the prioritized taxa was Gymnochanda verae, a rare and endemic species found exclusively in the Bangka–Belitung region. Other selected species include Gymnochanda verae, Desmopuntius gemellus, Osteochilus spilurus, Osteochilus flavicauda, Eirmotus insignis, Brevibora cheeyai and Aplocheilus armatus. The reintroduction initiative was designed not only to restore declining populations but also to enrich the genetic diversity of native fish communities. Importantly, all reintroduced species were confirmed to be historically present and indigenous to the Lenggang River system. The conservation strategy was further supported by habitat restoration, local community involvement, and long-term population monitoring. Preliminary results indicate positive acclimatization in restored zones, underscoring the potential of species reintroduction as an effective tool for freshwater biodiversity conservation in ancient tropical river systems. This study provides essential baseline data and offers a replicable model for integrated conservation of freshwater ecosystems in Southeast Asia.
