Abstract: U Minh National Parks, which comprises of U Minh Thuong (UMT, Kien Giang province) and U Minh Ha (UMH, Ca Mau province) with the typical Melaleuca forest ecosystem submerged in aluminum soil is a habitat for many freshwater fish species. This study was aimed to identify fish composition distributed in areas around UMT and UMH National Parks. After the sampling period (09/2017 to 08/2019), 54 fish species were found belonging to 40 genera, 23 families and 10 orders in UMT, and 31 fish species belong to 22 genera, 13 families and 6 orders in UMH. Ooders Cypriniformes and Perciformes show high numbers of species in both two areas. Nevertheless, fish in UMT area is more abundant and diverse. Particularly, there were 4 orders, 10 families and 20 genera only appearing in UMT such as Cyclocheilichthys apogon, Clupeichthys aesarnensis, Macrognathus circumcinctus, Parambassis wolffii,… Conversely, two fish species including Amblypharyngodon chulabhornae and Parambassis siamensis were found only in UMH. Differences in fish composition can be explained by levels of water exchange inside and outside of National Park and degrees of alum intrusion in water in these two study areas.
