The condition of water quality inshown that temperature was 320C-340C, depth 150 cm–161 cm, brightness 16.5 cm–21 cm,pH 4-6, dissolved oxygen 4.52–5.81 mg/L and free carbon dioxide 15.22–19.97 mg/L.Based on the diversity index, the fish diversity in the Kebun Nopi Lake can be classified aslow.Keywords:man-made lake, Kuning River, Fish Diversity, Water Quality1)Student of the Faculty of Fishheries and Marine Science, Universitas Riau2)Lecturer at the Faculty of Fishheries and Marine Science, Universitas Riau
