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.
