Abstract– Longitudinal variation in fish species composition at various sites on the Angabanga river showed an increase in diversity from source to mouth and that only a few fish species occur at all sites. The fish assemblage of floodplain pool areas contained fewer species than the main channel and was dominated by two exotic species Oreochrornis mossambicus (Peters 1852) and Trichoguster pectoralis (Regan 1910). Most native fish species utilize invertebrates as a food source. The absence of indigenous detritus/substrate feeders in the Angabanga community may account in part for the success of the two introduced species on the floodplain.
