Notes

Clupeichthys aesarnensis is restricted to the river systems in Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam ( Di Dario 2018). The distribution of freshwater clupeid in Peninsular Malaysia, Clupeichthys perakensis is restricted to the Perak River system ( Ng et al. 2019). Hence, the species recorded in this study (identified as Clupeichthys sp.) (Fig. 3 ) are neither of these species and need further study on their taxonomic identities ( Aqmal-Naser et al. 2021).
