A good place to sniff out local species of fish still thriving in the local waters would be the local fish market and in the case of raub, the farmers' market on weekends. As Raub is an inland town, only fresh water fishes are found and recent years, many species had seen serious decline in number, sizes and most importantly, in number of species as our polluted waters can only sustain hardy foreign species like the grass carps, tilapias and African catfishes...horrors for the ecologist...
People still buy these for a nolstagia of long gone era - taste of locally caught wild fishes from the rivers...
Rarity: Ikan Sikang, Raiamas guttatus.
