The present paper reports a fields survey of freshwater fish in Upper Wang River, at Jae Hom
District, Lumpang Province, North Thailand in September 2013. We found 11 families and
16 species of freshwater fishes. Hampala macrolepidota Kuhl et van Hasselt, 1823 and
Mystacoleucus marginatus (Valenciennes, 1842) (Cypriniformes Cyprinidae) are dominant
in transparent and running fast stream ecosystem while Pangio anguillaris (Vaillant, 1902)
(Cypriniformes Cobitidae) is a dominant in turbid and running slowly stream ecosystem.
One species, Channa cf. gachua (Hamilton, 1822) (Perciformes Channidae), still has an
unclear taxonomic status. The Thai local names and distribution data of freshwater fishes
are provided.
