Fish samples were collected from three different sites; site A (entrance of Moe Yun Gyi Wetland), site B (Tar zone) and site. Moe Yun Gyi Wetland is the vital resource of fish products for villagers near its surrounding. Moe Yun Gyi is a widely research areas for researchers and students of Myanmar to study ecosystem of environment concerning animals and plants. In this paper, fish species of Moe Yun Gyi wetland were focused. Simple method was used in this work such as collecting the fishes by fishing gears and identification with the method of Tawlar and Jhingran in 1991. Fish species were photographed with digital camera (Samsung Digimax A 402). Identification was based on the characters, coloration, fin and scale count, and measurements. A total of 22 species under 17 genera of 13 families belonging to five orders were recorded. In all study sites the composition of recorded fish species were found to be the highest in the order Siluriformes (38%), order Cypriniformes (15%), Perciformes (31%) and remaining two orders: Osteoglossiformes and Cyprinodontiformes (each with 8%). Monthly occurrence of recorded fish was the highest in November, 2020. These percentage were in November (24%), in January (22.5%), in December (16.9%) and remaining months, October and February (each with 18%). Order Siluriformes and Perciformes were most common in the study area. The objectives of this study are to identify the some fish species in Moe Yun Gyi Wetland Wildlife Sanctuary and to investigate the morphometric characters of some fishes in Moe Yun Gyi wetland area.
