Abstract

Eight species of mudskippers belonging to five genera were found to occur in the coastal areas of Langkawi Island. This includes a new record for Peninsular Malaysia i.e. Periophthalmus walailakae. This species was found to exist sympatrically with Periophthalmodon schlosseri, Periophthalmus novemradiatus, Periophthalmus gracilis, Periophthalmus spilotus and Boleopthalmus boddarti in the five study stations of the mangrove forest floor within the Kisap Forest Reserve, Bukit Tepoh and the riverine areas of Sungai Tepa that were sampled. Periophthalmus chrysospilos and Scartelaos histophorus were found along the sandy-beaches of Tanjung Rhu and mudflat of Kuah. The feeding habits were determined by the analysis of stomach contents of the genus Periophthalmus and Boleophthalmus using the method of percentages of occurrence and volumetric compositions. This was further illustrated graphically by interpretation of the Resultant Indices.
