Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World Bank Discussion Paper No. 337. Draws on household survey data from 87 rural villages in Bangladesh to examine the contribution that government family planning programs, as well as other health care interventions, have made toward the recent reduction in fertility by increasing contraceptive use and reducing infant mortality. The paper suggests that the programs have been effective and finds that targeted credit program placement, such as the Grameen Bank and the Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee (BRAC), contributed to the effort as well.

Download or read book Freshwater Fishes in Peninsular Malaysia written by Mohd Zakaria-Ismail and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 5 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are some 200 species of freshwater fishes in Peninsular Malaysia. Taman Negara and its vicinity has the richest fish fauna with more than 50 per cent of the fish fauna. About 40 per cent of the species are widely distributed not only in Peninsular Malaysia but also in Thailand, Sumatra, Borneo, and Java. These are mosly found in lowland habitats of big rivers and members of the family Cyprinidae dominate. Less than 3 per cent, Neolissochilus hendersoni (endemic to just Pulau Pinang), poropuntius birtwistlei, P. smedleyi, parosphromenus nagyi and P. paludicola, are endemic to the Peninsula. These endemics are confined either to montane streams or to blackwater swamps.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peninsular Malaysia has a diverse flora and fauna, much of which is yet to be documented. The freshwater fishes are one important group that have received little attention. Accordingly, the overarching goal of my study is to investigate the pattern of species richness and analyse the community composition and assemblage structure of fishes in the small streams in Peninsular Malaysia. Small stream habitats appeared to be particularly important repositories of fish biodiversity in this region thus obtaining a reliable census of species occurring in such habitats is critical for conservation and management of biodiversity. Although samplings were far from completed, these habitats support a great variety of species with more than 100 species were recorded from fifty streams sampled in this study. A few are extremely rare with restricted distribution and can thus be considered important in biodiversity conservation of the Peninsular Malaysian ichthyofauna. Human-influenced modification of lowland, headwater stream habitats in Peninsular Malaysia is common and often exemplified by the creation of pools in stretches of rapids and riffles. However, it was not possible to separate pristine and disturbed sites which contained almost identical for species diversity. These findings suggest that local habitat modification does not necessarily cause a decrease in freshwater fish diversity, with only minor negative consequences for other community variables recorded in this study, and therefore raise interesting issues regarding conservation. That said it remains premature to conclude that small stream fishes are insensitive to disturbance and thus their potential utility as bioindicators of disturbance-influenced community changes remain to be confirmed. The maintenance practises being applied to small streams modified for recreational usage were not imposing detectable negative consequences, at least across the sites sampled in this study. The rich diversity of tropical stream environments is the result of both within-habitat (alpha) diversity and between-habitat (beta) diversity. The results showed that there was substantial beta diversity particularly amongst sites that are geographically separated from one another. On the contrary, the lowest beta diversity values were portrayed by contiguous sites. Many fishes exhibited discontinuous patterns of distribution and were considered to be rare while only a handful were widely distributed and abundant. Ordination based on the relative resemblance of fish communities to one another support the existence of two distinct ichthyogeographic divisions in Peninsular Malaysia. It was possible to assign the species recorded to all seven of Rabinowitz's categories of rarity, with at least 10 restricted to a single stream and locally scarce, although not all of these could be described as hyper-endemic. It is recommended that a sizeable augmentation of the existing protected areas is needed to safeguard Malaysia's exceptionally diverse stream-dwelling fauna of which fishes are simply the most well-known inhabitants. Conservation managers should therefore place particular emphasis on small streams since localities in close proximity to one another can exhibit surprisingly high beta diversity, meaning that partial or small-scale habitat protection may prove insufficient.

Download or read book Systematics, Zoogeography, and Conservation of the Freshwater Fishes of Peninsular Malaysia written by Mohd Zakaria Ismail and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 946 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Approximately 5300 specimens of about 200 species of freshwater fishes of Peninsular Malaysia were examined, and meristic counts and morphometric measurements were recorded. This dissertation is the most inclusive and comprehensive study of Malaysian fishes to date. Osteochilus behnkei and Leiocassis santanensis are described as new species. Botia beauforti, Laides cf. sinensis, Leiocassis ruqosus, and Bagrichthys macracanthus are new records to this area. Positive species identifications of specimens of the genera Notopterus, Labiobarbus, Lobocheilos, Mystacoleucus, Tor, Acantopsis, Botia, Pangio, Leiocassis, Mystus, Achrochordonichthys, Pangasius, Clarias, Kryptopterus, Silurichthys, Brachygobius, Betta, and Chanda is not possible until complete revisions of the species composition of these genera are made. Many species such as Botia hymenophysa and Chaca bankanensis are also found in Sumatra and Borneo, but absent on the mainland of Southeast Asia. On the other hand, many Siamese species such as Botia beauforti and Homaloptera smithi dispersed only to Peninsular Malaysia, but are absent on the Greater Sunda Islands. Peninsular Malaysia is an area of overlap between these two groups of fishes. The degree of endemism is relatively low. Endemic species are represented by only 4 genera and mainly inhabit montane streams or blackwater swamps with extremely high acidity. They include: Homaloptera leonardi, Neolissochilus hendersoni, Parosphromenus nagyi, P. paludicola, Poropuntius birtwistlei, and P. smedleyi. At present, Scleropages formosus is the only freshwater fish of Peninsular Malaysia listed as an endangered species. In light of the large scale habitat alterations in Peninsular Malaysia, with reservoir constructions and deforestation, it is proposed that all endemic species be listed as endangered, and should be monitored on a regular basis.
