Abstract
A one year direct monitoring study of fish populations was conducted in Paya Bungor. The lake comprised of 12 families and 43 species of freshwater fishes. The cyprinids dominated the fish community contributing to about 54 followed by the catfishes (16). More species were recorded in the northern part of the lake. Riverine species accounted for more than 80 of the species composition in Paya Bungor. A high percentage of predatory species (49) was also observed. Amblyrhynchichthys truncatus was the most abundant species (33) followed by Thynnichthys thynnoides (20) and Puntius schwanenfeldii (18). Together with 12 other cyprinids they made up more than 90 of the total catch. Catfishes comprising 7 species constituted only 1.4. The general pattern of seasonal abundance indicated that more fishes were found in the months0894 of January March June and September while less fish occurred in the months of February May August and September. This pattern was related to fluctuations in water levels water temperature and conductivity. The heterogenous fish population in Paya Bungor exhibited spatial and temporal patterns of distribution. The species in Paya Bungor were long-normally distrib
