dc.description.abstract	Anthropogenic activities may impact ichthyofauna in freshwater bodies, and therefore, baseline information on fish diversity is needed to monitor the trends in abundance. The present study was undertaken to identify and compare the diversity of freshwater fishes in Podi wewa (Site 1) in Ihala Kadigamuwa village and Maunawa wewa (Site 2) in Maunawa village, Kurunegala district, North-Western Province of Sri Lanka from October 2020 to May 2021. Weekly sample collections were made, and fish were identified to the species level by morphological features using standard taxonomical keys.	en_US
