The purpose of this study was to determine the diversity index, diversity index, and fish dominance index in the Aur Lemau Watershed, which is located in Pondok Kelapa District, Central Bengkulu Regency. This type of research is descriptive quantitative. This research was conducted in January-August 2021. The sampling method used was purposive random sampling. Determination of the sampling location is recommended in the relatively different environmental conditions and fishing areas that are usually carried out by the surrounding community.

Then, the uniformity index value of station I (0.96); station II (0.92); and station III (0.81). The highest dominance index is at station III with a value of 0.31.
