Species presence/absence data in different water bodies in different regions of Saudi Arabia were collated from the literature and collected from field surveys to determine the geographical distribution of fish species in the country. Freshwater fish are mainly located in drainages in the south-west of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, both in the lowlands (western drainage systems) and highlands (eastern drainage systems) of the Sarawat Mountain Range. The eastern drainage systems were dominated by three endemic species, while the western drainage systems had a variety of endemic and non-native species. Ten non-native fish species were reported, mainly in artificial water bodies in the north and east of the country, but also in dams located in Al Baha Region, Abha and Rabigh, meaning both western and eastern drainage systems are being colonised by non-native species such as Oreochromis and Carassius species.
沙特阿拉伯不同地区不同水体中的物种存在/缺失数据是从文献中整理出来的，并通过实地调查收集，以确定该国鱼类物种的地理分布。淡水鱼主要分布在沙特阿拉伯王国西南部的排水系统中，包括萨拉瓦特山脉低地（西部排水系统）和高地（东部排水系统）。东部排水系统以三种特有物种为主，而西部排水系统则有各种特有和非本地物种。报告了10种非本地鱼类物种，主要分布在该国北部和东部的人工水体中，但也分布在巴哈地区、阿卜哈和拉比格的水坝中，这意味着西部和东部排水系统都正在被诸如奥利亚罗非鱼和鲫鱼等非本地物种所占据。
