Diversity and distribution of species was analyzed using diversity index which is Shannon-Weiner and Simpson Index. Based on the analysis provided, the reading shows that Sungai Muar consist of high diversity of fish species with diversity indexes 2.14 (Shannon-Weiner) and 0.75 (Simpson). The most abundant species at the site was Osteochilus hesseltii with 13 individuals while the least abundant species was Prophagorus nieuhofi with one individual only.
