Abstract :
Pesut Mahakam (Orchaella brevirostris) is an
Indonesian freshwater dolphin that can only be found in
the Mahakam River Basin in East Kalimantan. The
Mahakam River is the main habitat for these animals,
distributed from the Mahakam Delta (Samarinda) to
West Kutai (Melak), while the lake and swamp are cruises
for playing and foraging. The distribution of the
Mahakam Pesut (Orchaella brevirostris) in the Mahakam
River has always shifted from time to time. The study was
conducted in 2017 - 2018 in Samarinda, Kutai
Kartanegara and West Kutai, East Kalimantan, with
survey methods and direct interviews with fishermen,
community members, the Marine and Fisheries Service,
and the Natural Resources Conservation Agency
(BKSDA) of East Kalimantan Province. The purpose of
this study was to determine the population and
distribution of Pesut (Orchaella brevirostris) in the
Mahakam River. Pesut Mahakam (Orchaella brevirostris)
era before the 1980s distributed from the Mahakam Delta
to the Upper (Melak); in the era of 1980 - 2000 Pesut
Mahakam was distributed from the Kutai Kartanegara
area to Melak; whereas the era of 2000 until now Pesut
Mahakam is only distributed in the Kutai Kertanegara
