  ABSTRACT: A three year study was conducted in two floodplain lakes to evaluate changes between seasonal variation of water quality parameter and finfish diversity indices. Samples of water and fish specimens were collected every month from three different stations of each lake to determine physico-chemical parameters of water and the finfish diversity indices. Split-plot and MANOVA designs, Multiplicative decomposition method and quadratic regression analysis were used to analyze the effects of the rate of changes between the parameters and sustainability of the lakes. The obtained results suggested that the impact of environmental change (e.g depth, conductivity, salinity of water etc.) on diversity indices was significant and should be taken into consideration when designing policies to increase the long-term sustainability of fishing activities in the lakes.
