This research conducted due to lack of information about fish larvae in Ranau Lake, South Sumatera. This information is quite essential to explore because this can be used as a scientific basis for policy formation in this area. The objectives of this research are to analyze the correlation between fish larvae abundance to physicochemical parameters in Ranau Lake waters. Sampling was carried out at six stations (Muara Silabung, Dermaga, Way Maisin, Pemandian Air Panas, Lumbok, and Talang Teluk). Physico-chemical parameters measured directly in the field are temperature, pH, depth, brightness, CO2, O2, hardness, electrical conductivity, total alkalinity, and turbidity; while the chemical parameters measured in the laboratory are COD, NO2, NO3, NH3, and PO4. Larvae species identified through DNA sequence. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was used to measure the relationship between fish larvae abundance to the water parameters. Results show that generally there were forty-two fish larvae from nine species. The dominant species was Oreochromis niloticus. The results of the Principal Component Analysis show that the highest abundance of fish larvae was in water with the highest level of turbidity and dissolved oxygen, whereas the lowest abundance was in water with the highest level nitrate and depth.  Keywords: Fish larvae abundance, fish species, physicochemical parameters of water
