Executive Summary Aim Environmental assessment of hydropower facilities commonly includes means of fish assem- blage impact metrics, as e.g. injuries or mortality. However, this hardly allows for conclusion at the population or community level. To overcome this significant knowledge gap and to enable more efficient assessments, this task aimed in developing a fish species classification system according to their species-specific sensitivity against mortality. As one result, most sensitive fish species were identified as suitable candidates for in depth population effects and impact studies. Another objective was providing the biological and autecological baseline for developing a fish population hazard index for the European fish fauna. Methods The literature has been extensively reviewed and analysed for life history traits of fish providing resilience against and recovery from natural disturbances. The concept behind is that species used to cope with high natural mortality have evolved buffer mechanisms against, which might also foster recovery from human induced disturbances.

  • Life History Patterns and Biogeography: An
    LIFE HISTORY PATTERNS AND Lynne R. Parenti2 BIOGEOGRAPHY: AN INTERPRETATION OF DIADROMY IN FISHES1 ABSTRACT Diadromy, broadly defined here as the regular movement between freshwater and marine habitats at some time during their lives, characterizes numerous fish and invertebrate taxa. Explanations for the evolution of diadromy have focused on ecological requirements of individual taxa, rarely reflecting a comparative, phylogenetic component. When incorporated into phylogenetic studies, center of origin hypotheses have been used to infer dispersal routes. The occurrence and distribution of diadromy throughout fish (aquatic non-tetrapod vertebrate) phylogeny are used here to interpret the evolution of this life history pattern and demonstrate the relationship between life history and ecology in cladistic biogeography. Cladistic biogeography has been mischaracterized as rejecting ecology. On the contrary, cladistic biogeography has been explicit in interpreting ecology or life history patterns within the broader framework of phylogenetic patterns. Today, in inferred ancient life history patterns, such as diadromy, we see remnants of previously broader distribution patterns, such as antitropicality or bipolarity, that spanned both marine and freshwater habitats. Biogeographic regions that span ocean basins and incorporate ocean margins better explain the relationship among diadromy, its evolution, and its distribution than do biogeographic regions centered on continents. Key words: Antitropical distributions, biogeography, diadromy, eels,

  • 1 | Page MONITORING PROGRAMME for STREBER (ZINGEL STREBER)
    MONITORING PROGRAMME FOR STREBER (ZINGEL STREBER) by Jan Dušek with participation of Marko Ćaleta and Zoran Marčić using parts of the text and list of references prepared by Doru Bănăduc Range The range of Zingel streber includes the Danube Basin from Bavaria to the Danube Delta and also the Vardar and its main tributaries. Z. streber is also present in neighbouring countries of Croatia, namely, Slovenia, Hungary, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Distribution in Croatia Z. streber occurs only in the Continental Biogeographical Region. Until now, distribution data about Z. streber in Croatia have not been systematically collected. The little knowledge of this species in Croatia is based on the last few decades of studies in the Danube and some of its main tributaries, such as Drava, Kupa, Sava and also in their smaller tributaries (Figures 1 and 2). Z. streber is considered as rare or very rare in some areas of the Croatian Danube Basin. Nationally, there has been no permanent or long-term specific monitoring on distribution or population status of Z. streber, as not all areas were studied in this respect for the proposal of Natura 2000 sites. No exhaustive data regarding Z. streber distribution in Croatian territory is available, a relatively common situation in other European countries also. Figure 1: Z. streber presence identified in the last years Figure 2: Distribution of Z. streber on Continental part of the Croatian national (Mrakovčić et al., 2010). territory (prepared by SINP). Habitat Z. streber is a freshwater, benthopelagic and rheophilic species which inhabits the Danube Basin, in both hilly and plain rivers.
