Landscape pattern plays an important role in structuring of larval fish assemblages in large river basins. The lower reach of the Yangtze River includes the river section from the mouth of Poyang Lake, the largest freshwater lake in China, downward to the estuary. We hypothesized that river–lake connectivity at the upstream portion and tidal intrusion at the downstream portion are significant drivers of larval fish assemblages. Larval fish were collected monthly from April 2012 through September 2013 in three locations at Anqing (AQ), Nanjing (NJ), and Jingjiang (JJ). Fifty-six taxa of larval fish were identified with 52 of them determined of species. Larval fish were highly abundant from April through August; the number of species and the abundance were much higher at AQ than at NJ and JJ; the bloom of larval fish at JJ tended to be later than at NJ and AQ. We suggest that the larger number of species and higher abundance of larval fish at AQ reflect the effects of the connectivity of Poyang Lake with the river upstream of AQ, and the delayed bloom of larval fish and the occurrence of estuarine species at JJ reflect the influences of tidal intrusion from the estuary.
