Tor pituitoria was the most abundant fish it has 18.6 percentage compositions, it constitutes 0.169 and 18.65 percentage relative abundance. Tor tor was least abundant with percentage composition of 1.20, it constitutes 0.011 abundance and with 1.21 percent as relative abundance. The fish species diversity during study period was 0.889 which indicates the good diversity of the River Asan during study period.
Keywords: Realtive abundance, species diversity, percentage composition
