Abstract: The Laohegou Stream is the third-grade tributary of Yangtze River in Sichuan Province. By the field sampling and data analysis from 14 sites in Laohegou Stream in each season in 2012, a total of 11 species were recorded, representing 4 families and 4 orders. Among which, 7 species belong to Cypriniformes, accounting for 63.64% of the total. Some species of them, such as Rhynchocypris oxycephalus, Triplophysa bleekeri, Homatula variegate, and Euchiloglanis kishinouyei, were common species. They completed their life history in a relatively short river reach. While Misgurnus anguillicaudatus, Pseudobagrus truncates, and Pseudobagrus tenuifurcatus were occasional species, and only appeared in the wet seasons of the Laohegou Stream. Our result showed that species richness and individual abundance of fish increased gradually along the longitudinal gradient from the headwater to the stream outlet. The highest species richness and individual abundance were observed in summer and winter, respectively. And the lowest values of them were ascertained in spring and summer. Result from One way ANOVA indicated that species richness and individual abundances showed significant difference between the 14 sites (P<0.01), while they showed no significant differences between seasons (P>0.05). Cluster analysis and multidimensional scaling (MDS) were performed to examine the spatial distribution pattern of fish. It suggested that the fish assemblage were separated into three groups-upper, middle and lower reaches on a Bray-Curtis similarity value of 40.77%. Results from the analysis of similarities (ANOSIM) suggested that the fish assemblage were significant difference among the upper, middle and lower reach of the Laohegou Stream (Global R=0.722; P<0.01). Through analysis of similarity percentages of species contributions (SIMPER), we determined the specific species such as Zacco platypus, Belligobio nummifer, Schizothorax prenanti, R.oxycephalus, T.bleekeri, H.variegata and E.kishinouyei which result in significantly different among the three groups. Results from the canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) indicated that elevation, substrate, flow velocity, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, total dissolved solid, water temperature, pH and water depth were impact factors resulting in difference in the spatial and temporal pattern of fish assemblages in the Laohegou Stream.

Key words: upper Yangtze River, Laohegou Sream, fish assemblages, spatial and temporal pattern, impact factors
