PETALING JAYA: Fish traps, whether active or discarded ones, are posing a threat to Terengganu's river terrapin population, in particular the Southern River Terrapin (Batagur affinis), says the Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia (TCS).
TCS co-founder and executive director Dr Chen Pelf Nyok said the latest finding was on Sunday (Aug 24), where a subadult terrapin, estimated to be around 12 to 15 years old, was found in a fish trap in Sungai Kemaman by a local fisherman.
