Diversity of Fish Species in Ngim River, Phayao Province
Abstract
A survey on diversity of fish in the Ngim River (a Tributary of Upper River Basin) in Pong District, Phayao Province, Northern Thailand was conducted from April 2018 to January 2019. In this survey, fish specimens were collected by cast net, long line net, and hand dip net, including by purchased from merchant. Five orders, 11 families, 20 genera, 27 species of fishes were collected. The most dominant order is Cypriniformes (17 species [63%]), followed by Siluriformes (4 species [15%]) and Perciformes (3 species [11%]). The most dominant family is Cyprinidae (11 species [41%]), followed by Balitoridae (6 species [22%]) and Sisoridae (2 species [7%]). However, the IUCN conservation status was found in 22 species (81%) least concern, 4 species (15%) data deficient and 1 species (4%) not evaluated.
