Inland sub-sector
Malaysia does not have large river systems, or natural lakes, and with increasingindustrialization, many of the river systems are being polluted, leading to a declinein river fisheries. There are, however, a number of sizeable man-made reservoirs inPeninsular Malaysia (e.g. the Perak and Terengganu dams) that are being developedfor inland fisheries, including for recreational fisheries. However, there is alreadyevidence of decline in some of the reservoirs, e.g. the Kenyir dam in Terengganu.Several species of native river fish are considered endangered.The inland fisheries contributed an insignificant production of 4 208 tonnes in 2007.There is probably not much scope for further expansion.
