Abstract : A total number of fish species were recorded by interviewing with 20 local vendors from local market in Taunggyi. Fish species were identified and analyzed their abundance and diversity. Study period lasted from December 2023 to January 2024. Based on morphological identifications, fourteen fish species, under 7 orders, 10 families, 13 genera were recorded. The calculated diversity indices of fish were shown d value 1.314, in December, 1.4992 in January, D value 0.300 in December, 0.153 in January, H’ 1.314 in December, 1.4992 in January, J’ 0.1214 in December, 0.2143 in January. This occurrence of dominance of fish species indicated the present condition of the environment of lake. The origin of freshwater fish species is mainly transported from Inlay Lake. The present results seemed to represent the abundant species of fish that occurred in Inlay Lake. Order Cypriniformes were the most dominant with four species. Order Synbranchiformes, the occurrence of Macrognathus caudiocellatus was rare when compared with other species. Macrognathus caudiocellatus is quite popular common fish among local people. It was considered that long term agrochemicals application to the fields drained into Inlae Lake would be one of the major constraints. Therefore, it is needed to prevent from the status of endangered and maintain to produce such kinds of endemic fish species in accordance with environmental conservation, biodiversity and food sufficient in this region.

Keywords : Freshwater Fish; Diversity,; Macrognathus Caudiocellatus.
