Summary:This study aims to identify and determine the composition of fish species. Sampling was carried out from July 2019 to January 2020 in Youtefa Bay. Fish sampling was conducted by using gill nets. Fishes were caught once in each month during the research period. The result showed of 562 individuals in 53 species of 26 families. Hypothermia barnesi (14,77%); Mugil sp. (12,46%); Acanthurus auranticavus (6,23%); Hemirhamphus far (6,05%); Lutjanus carponotatus (4,09%) and Gerres erythrourus (3,92%). The number and type of fish caught are influenced by seagrass and mangrove ecosystems. The number of fish in each site was affected by the substrate, brightness, and the percentage of seagrass bed coverage; the higher percentage of brightness and seagrass coverage, the higher number of fish found.
