Abstract

The fish described in this paper were sampled from four watersheds in the Eastern, Chao Phraya, Peninsular, and Maeklons regions of central Thailand, between the years 2000-2004. A total of 124 species were captured from 160 stream and river sites, using an electrofishing method. 33 of these species were captured in the Eastern region and 42 in the Peninsular region. In the Chao Phraya and Maeklong areas, the fish species were both more abundant and more varied, and 52 and 91 species, respectively, were collected in these regions. Seven species (Brachydanio albolineatus, Rasbora paviei, System us binotatus, Homaloptera smithi, Monopterus albus, Macrognathus circumcintus, Channa gaucha) were commonly found in all of the watersheds.

2000년부터 2004년까지 태국 (Thailand) 중부지역의 4개 수역인 Eastern, Chao Phraya, Peninsular, Maeklong 수계를 흐르는 하천에서 어류상 조사를 실시하였다. 160개 조사지점에 대하여 어류상조사를 실시한 결과 총 28과 124종이 확인되었다. Eastern과 Peninsular수역에서 각각 33종, 42종이 출현하였고 Chao Phraya와 Maeklong수역에서 52종과 91종이 확인되었다 4개 수역에서 모두 출현한 종은 Brachydanio albolineatus, Rasbora paviei, Systomus binotatus, Homaloptera smithi, Monopterus albus, Macrognathus circumcintus, Channa gaucha 등 7종이었다.
