The results of the survey show that the number of fish caught during the survey was 799 individuals, and the fish species identified at 6 stations of Jatigede Reservoir consisted of 9 families of 18 species. The fish species with the highest abundance was Parambassis siamensis at station 1. At stations 2, 3, 4, and 5, the fish with the highest abundance was Hampala macrolepidota and at station 6, the fish with the greatest abundance was Oxyeleotris marmorata. The distribution of native fish is more dominant than introduced fish with a comparison of 11 native fish species and 7 introduced fish species. The water quality at each station still meets the requirements of environmental quality standards according to Government Regulation (Indonesia) No. 22 of 2021 on Water Quality Standards and is suitable for fish life.
