The Tonle Sap Lake was dominated by few large commercial fishes. Moreover, the total fish yield of the lake was temporally decreased. Also, the fish yields are increased with an increase in the water level fluctuation. The result revealed that fish community in lake is divided into two assemblages: northern assemblage and southern assemblage.
