Lotic waters dominate the Malaysian aquatic environment. There are very few natural lakes in Malaysia. There are only two principal lenthic environments in Malaysia. They are Tasek Chini and the Tasek Bera/Tasek Dampar complex. Both of these lakes located in Pahang, are relatively small in size. Tasik Bera is more of a freshwater swamp than a true lake, covered with stands of littoral, floating, emergent and submerge vegetation, such as Lepironia articulata and Pandanus helicopus, and very few truly open water spaces (Furtado & Mori, 1982). They reported 95 species of fishes from Tasik Bera. Almost all of these species were endemic to Peninsular Malaysia. They also highlighted the difficulties of estimating fish abundance in Tasik Bera because of the small size of fish, presence of large numbers of refuges where the fish are inaccessible and the low intensity of fish catches by the natives.

In present, fishery management tends to be more attractive and widely open in fishery research. Mostly fishery researches provide the information in biological, environmental and socio-economical studies. In Southeast Asian Region, there are many researches on inland capture fisheries, however these information are still not in record gradually and rarely available. Therefore, the gathering information in inland capture fishery becomes more importance and necessary. Developing of regional database system of collected information in inland capture fisheries is one of the most important mechanisms in order to provide the skeleton for more systematic collection of such information. In addition, to know the status and trend of inland capture fisheries information, of which is a key to sound policy-making and management.

There is an increasing recognition that inland fisheries play an important role for food security and the livelihoods of rural people in the Southeast Asia. Given the situation that there are significant water resources, seasonal inundation and wet rice production, it is natural that people in this region rely on easily accessible aquatic resources for various aspects of livelihoods. Hence fishing and/or collection of aquatic organisms in inland water bodies are commonly observed throughout the region and the vast majority of rural households, regardless of whether they consider themselves as farmers or fishers, engage in some sort of activities to harvest aquatic resources at some sort time of the year. Fish/ aquatic organisms of all sizes are utilized with little discard or wastage.

Reservoir fisheries are one of the water resource ecosystems, which contribute to inland fish catch for family consumption and income for the poor people. To support government policy to regenerate fish species that have been lost and to increase the fish catch in the reservoir, stocking fish in the reservoir are option for consideration. A research activity on stocking of native species in Thmorda reservoir was conducted. The objective of the research was to evaluate if stocking in the reservoir could enhance the fish catch to increase food and income for the people living in the area. Twenty one thousand and five hundred fingerlings of native fish; 10,000 Barbonymus gonionotus, 10,000 Barbonymus altus, 500 Pangasianodon hypophthalmus and 1000 Trichogaster pectoralis; were stocked in Thmorda reservoir on 5 November 2002. Monthly monitoring, informal discussions and catch assessment activities with fishers were conducted to collect information on captured stocked fish. According to the survey and discussions with fishers, stocked fishes grew 5 to 6 times faster than pond based aquaculture system. Up to 30-50% of stocked Barbonymus gonionotus and Barbonymus altus were recaptured, reaching a total weight of about 1,000kg, with an estimated value of about US$1,400. Stocking fish in reservoir is widely accepted by fishers as one of the most practical option to improve the livelihood of the people living in the reservoir. However, the ecological status and constraints after stocking should be studied and research conducted on how stocking native fish in the reservoir fisheries may affect the ecology of the reservoir or the socio economic conditions of the people living in the reservoir area.
