Abstract: This present study was conducted in order to assess the abundance, diversity and stomach content of freshwater fishes caught in Pampanga River along the municipality of Cabiao, Nueva Ecija, Philippines. A total of six fish species were collected namely rohu carp (
Labeo rohita), silver carp (
Hypoththalmichthys molitrix), common carp (
Cyprinus carpio), striped snakehead (
Channa strita), Nile tilapia (
Oreochromis niloticus) and crucian carp (
Carassius carassius). Nile tilapia comprised the highest relative abundance (50.88%; n = 29) from the total fish catches (N = 55). The Cabiao area of the Pampanga River has a fish species diversity index value of 1.42, with evenness of 0.73 and species dominance (Simpson’s index) of 0.67.
