The results were analyzing using standard approaches and advanced computer programmes (PAST). The estimated productivities were 77.02 kg/km2 at Jebel Aulia site by using one type of fishing–net during period for fishing. For genus Alestes in Jebel Aulia site, exploitation ratio for genus Alestes between 0.52 and 0.90, while that for genus Hydrocynus was between 0.60 and 0.70, the recommended exploitation ratio level was 0.5.
