Keywords:
biodiversity, fish, Nan River basin, Nan province, ecological indexAbstract
The aim of this research was to explore the diversity and ecological indices of fish species that were widely distributed in the Sa-Mun River, Nan province. This exploration was conducted from March to December 2016 at 7 sampling stations by collecting 3 times from each station according to the season and there was an addition at station 7 in March 2021. All of 492 fish specimens were collected, there were เป็น and at least at least ten orders, one subseries, 24 families, 53 genera, and 60 species were identified. The dominant orders were 34 species of Cypriniformes (56.66%), 8 species of Siluriformes (13.33%), and 6 species of Anabantiformes (10.00%). The dominant families were 25 species of Cyprinidae (41.67%), 4 species of Bagridae (6.66%), and 3 species of Cobitidae (5.00%). Two species, Mystacoleucus obtusirostris and Xenentodon cancila were found in all sampling stations. Two endemic species, Hemimyzon nanensis and Schistura menanensis were found. Three alien species, Cyprinus rubrofuscus, Pterygoplichthys disjunctivus and Oreochromis niloticus were found. Mystacoleucus obtusirostris had the highest percentage of species with a frequency of 85.71% and a relative abundance percentage of 13.41%. The average richness index and species diversity index were 4.96±1.02 and 2.70±0.24, respectively. Station 7 had the highest richness index and species diversity index at 7.04 and 3.08, respectively. It is located on the Sa-Mun River, which is connected to the Nan River. Considering the species diversity index, the Sa-Mun River remains a natural water source suitable for the survival and growth of fishes and other aquatic animals
