Abstract

Parosphromenus anjunganensis is a stenotopic fish species endemic to West Kalimantan found living in peat swamps, but fish habitat data is still very limited. This study aims to obtain data on the habitat characteristics of P. anjunganensis in Kubu Raya and Landak Regencies. This study was conducted in January and March 2025. Data collection was carried out by measuring the abiotic and biotic characteristics of the habitat in both research locations with two replications each. The data obtained were analyzed by correlation tests. The results of this study indicate that the habitat of P. anjunganensis in Kubu Raya and Landak Regencies has similar characteristics, namely shallow waters (<1 m), stable water temperature (26 °C-28 °C), slow currents, high water clarity, low water conductivity, clay and sandy substrates, low acidity (acidic), low dissolved oxygen content, low total dissolved substances, varied aquatic plant vegetation, and other fish species dominated by Osphronemidae.
