Abstract: Based on the data collected from 66 sampling sites within the rivers of the Chaohu basin during April and October, 2013, the spatio-temporal variations in fish assemblages were examined in this study. Our results showed that fish species diversity did not vary among rivers and ecoregions but differed significantly across seasons and stream orders. Fish abundance collected in October was more than that in April. The highest species richness and fish abundance were observed in the second-order streams, significantly higher than that in the first-, third- and fourth-order streams. Fish assemblage structures showed significant difference across seasons and ecoregions, respectively, but did not differ significantly among rivers and stream orders. When looking at the sub-ecoregion scale, significant difference in fish assemblage structures was only observed between the West-southern Forest Sub-ecoregion and the other five sub-ecoregions, while that among the other five sub-ecoregions showed no significant variation. Zacco platypus and Ctenogobius spp. were more abundant and frequent in the West-southern Forest Sub-ecoregion, while Carassius auratus, Hemiculter leucisculus and Cyprinus carpio were more abundant and frequent in other sub-ecoregions.

Key words: stream fish, assemblage structure, species diversity, spatio-temporal pattern, the Chaohu basin
