Evaluating the Tropical Reservoir Health by using the Index of Biotic Integrity as a Management Tool for Resource Conservation Planning

Biotic Integrity index (IBI) is widely utilized for biomonitoring in aquatic ecosystems, especially assessing ecosystem health worldwide. Environmental changes significantly impact the ecosystem’s of Subang Reservoir, which consequently affects biodiversity. This study was conducted to determine its by IBI freshwater fish Reservoir. In this study, thirty-four metrics were firstly selected as candidate metrics, and later, these underwent several statistical tests such range, responsiveness, redundancy, scoring screen select most appropriate metrics. A final eight after analysis, a total score 24 indicated that Reservoir’s shows some stress due an imbalanced guild. showed Reservoir fair condition. because limitation entering The implementation can be improved modifying selecting techniques, usage increased Malaysia’s ecosystems. result reported used scientific base data implementing biomonitoring.
