Abstract: In order to better understand the status, main threats and conservation measures of fish resources of the lower reaches of Heishui River before the operation of the Baihetan hydropower station, a catch survey using the electrofishing equipment was conducted monthly from January to December in 2014. The results showed that:a total of 28 species of fish belonging to 3 orders, 8 families and 23 genera were collected during the 12 months, among them many fish species were the ones that prefer to running water, spawn the sticky and demersal egg and feed mainly on periphyton or/and benthic organism. The fish individuals were generally dominated by small size ones and the main economic fishes in the investigated area were Schizothorax prenanti, Paracobitis potanini, Paracobitis varigatus, Schizothorax wangchiachii, Triplophysa anterodorsalis, Glyptothorax sinense and Pseudobagrus emarginatus. The catch structures between the first half and the second half of this year were statistically significant (R=0.81, p<0.05) and the mutual migration between the mainstream of the Jinsha River and the lower reaches of the Heishui River was obvious. The values of the catch per unit effort (CPUE) firstly displayed fluctuated decline and then showed a monthly increasing trend, and the value of CPUE on October was lowest among 12 months. The abundance biomass comparison curves showed that the catch structure were in a state of severe disturbance in the months of 2014. Before the filling of the Baihetan Reservoir, the sand extraction and overfishing were the main factors that affected the fish resources of the lower reaches of Heishui River, thereby the protection measures including the controls for the sections and times of sand extraction and the comprehensive fishing ban in the lower reaches of the Heishui River should be applied for protecting the fish resources of this region.

Key words: Heishui River, fish resource, catch structure, abundance biomass comparison curve, sand extraction, overfishing
