N2  - Twelve sites along the TotkabonRiver, north of Iran were sampled to study the relationship between fishassemblage and habitat variables, including elevation, water depth, riverwidth, river slope, current velocity, number of large stone, average stone diameter,substrate index, potamal cover index and periphyton cover index. Canonicalcorrespondence analysis was used to determine the relationship between fishassemblage and habitat variables. The results indicated that presence-absenceand abundance of Alburnoides samiii were related to elevation, depth,number of large stone, stone diameter and velocity; presence-absence andabundance of Oxynoemacheilus bergianus, Cobitis keyvani, Barbus cyri, and Ponticola iranicuswere related to number of large stone, stone diameter, velocity, elevation, anddepth; and presence-absence and abundance Acanthobrama microlepis, Carassiusauratus, and Pseurasbora parvaare related with large stone, slope, elevation, and depth. The relationshipsbetween habitat variables and fish assemblage provide insight into theirecology and can aid effective fisheries management in the Sefidrud River basin.
