SEREMBAN: Only two local fish species have been found in Sungai Mambau here, with the rest being foreign species such as suckermouth catfish and black tilapia. This discovery was made during a two-day mission to control foreign fish species, which concluded on Sunday (Oct 13).
This finding indicates the river has been dominated by these foreign fish, Negri Sembilan Fisheries Department director Kasim Tawe told Sinar Harian.
Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
