Considering the extensive dryness of Gavkhouni Wetland and its low water volume, currently, fish can only be observed at the starting point of the wetland where a suitable habitat for them has been created.
The results from the samples, data from previous studies, and interviews with local fishermen regarding the fish are compiled in Volume 2 of the project titled “Water Needs of Zayandeh-Rud River and Gavkhouni International Wetland for the Continuation of their Ecological Functions”, conducted by Isfahan University of Technology in 2017. Among the identified resident species, it seems that only the “Gavkhooni” fish lives in the limited area of Gavkhouni International Wetland.
