The current status of the ichthyofauna of Afghanistan is revised, and an updated checklist is presented. The confirmed fishes of Afghanistan comprise 121 species belonging to 11 orders, 22 families, and 68 genera. Among these, 18 species (14.9%) are alien, and 7 species (5.8%) are considered endemic to Afghanistan. The orders with the largest numbers of species in the ichthyofauna of Afghanistan are Cypriniformes (88 species), followed by Siluriformes (14 species), Anabantiformes (4 species), Acipenseriformes, Salmoniformes, and Cyprinodontiformes (3 species in each). At the family level, Cyprinidae have the greatest number of species (36 species; 29.8% of the total species), followed by Nemacheilidae (22 species), Leuciscidae (12 species), Danionidae (8 species), and Sisoridae (6 species). A total of 48 species previously reported from Afghanistan have been excluded from the checklist, either in the present study or in previous studies. According to the IUCN Red List criteria, among 121 listed fish species, 19 (15.7%) are in the threatened categories, with 4 (3.3%) CR, 6 (5.0%) EN, and 9 (7.4%) VU. Of the total number of taxa assessed, 5.0% (6 species) are NT and 51.2% (62 species) are LC. A total of 29 species are (24.0%) Not Evaluated (NE) and 5 species (4.1%) are classified as DD.
阿富汗鱼类区系的现状得到了修订，并提出了更新的清单。阿富汗确认的鱼类包括 11 目、22 科和 68 属的 121 种。其中，18 种（14.9%）为外来种，7 种（5.8%）被认为是阿富汗特有种。阿富汗鱼类区系中物种数量最多的目是鲤形目（88 种），其次是鲇形目（14 种）、攀鲈目（4 种）、鲟形目、鲑形目和鲤形目（各 3 种）。在科的水平上，鲤科拥有最多的物种（36 种；占总物种数的 29.8%），其次是虾虎鱼科（22 种）、雅罗鱼科（12 种）、鱲科（12 种）和鲇科（6 种）。本研究或以前的研究中，共有 48 种以前报道的阿富汗鱼类被排除在清单之外。根据 IUCN 红色名录标准，在 121 种列出的鱼类中，有 19 种（15.7%）处于受威胁类别，其中 4 种（3.3%）为 CR，6 种（5.0%）为 EN，9 种（7.4%）为 VU。在所评估的总分类单元中，有 5.0%（6 种）为 NT，51.2%（62 种）为 LC。共有 29 种（24.0%）未评估（NE），5 种（4.1%）被归类为 DD。
