Due to drought during the recent years, the Hamoon wetland has become unstable and hence Chah-nimeh water reservoirs of Zabol (Sistan, Iran) have become increasingly important for aquatic life. Hence, it is necessary to identify biodiversity of fish in Chah-nimeh reservoirs to provide baseline data for management and conservation purposes. In order to identify and DNA barcode fish species in Chah-nimeh reservoirs, fish specimens were collected during 2017. Totally, 29 specimens belonging to Schizothorax zarudnyi, Carassius sp., Paracobitis rhadianaeus, Ctenopharingodon idella, Gonorhynchus adiscus, Cyprinus carpio, Schizocypris altidorsalis were collected. To perform phylogenetic analyzes 5’ end sequence of gene COI were produced. For phylogenetic analysis Neighbor-Joining and Maximum likelihood methods were used. The results resolved six phylogenetic groups among the analyzed specimens. Accordingly, the maximum genetic divergence was 27.1% between P. rhadinaeus and C. idella and the minimum genetic divergence was 10.8% between C. carpio and S. zarudnyi.
