Fish Distribution and Spatial Structure of Fish Assemblages in the Danube River
Fish distribution and spatial structure of fish assemblages in the Danube River Zoltán Szalóky PhD Thesis Eötvös Loránd University Faculty of Science Doctoral School of Environmental Sciences, Environmental Biology Program Head of Doctoral School: Dr. Imre Jánosi, DSc, university professor Head of Doctoral Program: Dr. Éva Ács, DSc, scientific advisor Supervisor: Dr. Tibor Erős, PhD, senior researcher MTA Centre for Ecological Research, Balaton Limnological Institute Made: MTA Centre for Ecological Research, Danube Research Institute Budapest, 2017 Introduction Sampling the biota in the main channel of large rivers presents a continuing challenge for freshwater ecologists. While our knowledge of the organization of shoreline fish assemblages and their representative sampling are increasing (e.g. Jurajda et al., 2001; Erős et al., 2008), information about the composition and spatial and temporal distribution of fishes in deep channel habitats is still relatively sporadic (Dettmers et al., 2001). Inferences about how main channel habitats contribute to the bioassessment of large rivers compared with shoreline monitoring data should also be more precisely developed (de Leeuw et al., 2007; Flotemersch et al., 2011). However, detailed quantitative studies are restricted to only a very few large rivers even in the relatively well studied temperate large river systems of Europe and North- America (see e.g. Wolter and Freyhof, 2004; Gutreuter et al., 2009; Ridenour et al., 2009). It would be thus important to develop deep channel fish monitoring methods for providing data for both basic research and the conservation management of riverine fish species. Matching habitat typology and ecological assemblage types can be useful in environmental management and conservation (Dufrene and Legendre, 1997; Heino et al., 2003). -

Public Consultation on the Regulatory and Administrative Framework Affecting Tourism
EUROPEAN COMMISSION ENTERPRISE AND INDUSTRY DIRECTORATE-GENERAL Service Industries Tourism Policy Public consultation on the regulatory and administrative framework affecting tourism 1. INTRODUCTION The consultation was carried out between 12 December 2013 and 21 March 2014. The objective was to identify EU, national, regional and local policy initiatives (legislative or not) and administrative practices, where there may still be scope for further reduction of the burden for SMEs, and in particular for micro businesses, as well as for EU tourism destinations, public administrations and tourists visiting EU Member States from within or outside Europe. It equally aimed at identifying good practices and success stories at all administrative levels. It is important to underline that the consultation was not part of the Commission’s formal Regulatory Fitness (REFIT) exercise. Its questions were concerning general regulatory and administrative areas without referring to specific measures or practices. This was necessary in order to be able to incorporate various regulatory and administrative levels (i.e. EU, national, regional and local) in its scope. The consultation pointed out to 12 policy areas, each of which divided in sub-areas. The complete list is provided in Annex 1. For each sub-area, respondents were asked to indicate the nature of the burden (at EU, national, regional and local) picking among the different options (Too costly – Unnecessary - Too restrictive - Too excessive - Too complex - Lacks transparency - Lacks protection – Others). The analysis of the outcome of this consultation is intended to remain factual and to provide general information to the Commission as well as to public and private stakeholders, without any concrete follow-up measure in sight for the time being. -

Assessment of Flood Monitoring and Forecasting in the Danube River Basin
Assessment of Flood Monitoring And Forecasting in the Danube river basin 1. In General about the Danube River Basin International cooperation of Danube countries has a long tradition especially as far as the utilization of the Danube River as a natural water-way for navigation and transport is concerned. An intensive economic and social development of Danube countries necessitates optimum water utilization not only in the Danube itself but also in its tributaries – i.e. within the whole drainage basin – for drinking and process water supply, hydropower and navigation purposes. The need to protect population and property from disastrous floods led to an effective cooperation of Danube countries. The Danube with a total length of 2 857 km and a longterm daily mean discharge of 6 500 m3.s-1 is listed immediately after the River Volga (length 3 740 km, daily mean discharge 8 500 m3.s-1) as the second largest river in Europe. In terms of length it is listed as 21st biggest river in the world, in terms of drainage area it ranks as 25th with the drainage area of 817 000 km2. The Danube River Basin (DRB) extends in a westerly direction from the Black Sea into central and southern Europe. The limits of the basin are outlined by line of longitude 8° 09´ at the source of the Breg and Brigach streams in Schwarzwald Masiff to the 29° 45´ line of longitude in the Danube delta at the Black Sea. The extreme southern point of the Danube basin is located on the 42° 05´ line of latitude within the source of the Iskar in the Rila Mountains, the extreme northern point being the source of the River Morava on the 50° 15´ line of latitude. -
