Abstract

One of the main goals of protected areas is to assess species diversity, which allows us to monitor changes in biodiversity in conditions with minimal anthropogenic impact. To date, no comprehensive studies have been conducted on the fish and decapod crustacean fauna of Cat Tien National Park, one of the largest nature reserves in southern Vietnam. Existing publications are few and fragmentary. This study aimed to provide a detailed assessment of the freshwater fauna (fish and decapod crustaceans) associated with the park’s hydrological network. A comprehensive survey of faunal diversity was conducted within the protected area during 2024–2025. In total, 34 fish species representing 12 families and 12 species of decapod crustaceans from 4 families were recorded. The species C. uminensis, M. talaiense, S. triangularis, N. botti are endemic to Vietnam. An annotated list of the studied aquatic organisms is provided, indicating the locations of registration within the boundaries of the park.
