Abstract

Information upon fish diversity in Peusangan river, Aceh Tengah regency is still limited in addition to its surrounding physicochemical factors which may indicate the health status of natural habitat. This study aims to obtain the ecological parameters and biodiversity of fish in study sites based on different characteristics of sampling sites. Data analysis included the Shannon’s diversity index (H’) and evenness index (E) and water parameters, e.g. velocity, temperature, pH, light intensity, light penetration, dissolved oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand, nitrate and phosphate content. Ten species of fishes sampled from study sites were classified into 4 orders (Perciformes, Cypriniformes, Cyprinodontiformes, Siluriformes) and 6 families (Cichilidae, Channida, Cyprinidae, Poecilidae, Clariidae, Loricariidae). The highest population was Xiphophorus hellerii (1 ind.m-2) while the highest and lowest H’ was found in Station 2 and Station 4 with 1.89 and 1.52, respectively. Stream velocity and phosphate content were strongly correlated to the diversity of fishes in Peusangan river based on Pearson’s product-moment correlation analysis.
