The relation between stream order and species diversity of fishes in the Otter Creek drainage basin, a 6th-order intermittent system in north-central Oklahoma, was determined. Fishes were collected after 8 mo. of continuous stream flow and again after a severe drought and 2 or 3 days of stream flow. Twenty species of fishes were collected. Species diversity values for both collections were remarkably similar. Species diversity increased progressively with stream order and the correlation coefficient between stream order and species diversity was 0.96. Effects of drought and influx of oil field brines are discussed.
