- Title
Taxonomic status of salmonids in the Bulgarian stretch of the Danube River and their bionomic strategy.
- Authors
Holčík, J.; Stefanov, T.
- Abstract
Analysis of salmonid fish samples from the Bulgarian stretch of the Danube resulted in the conclusion that this river segment is inhabited by the Black Sea salmon Salmo labrax Pallas, 1814 and not by the huchen Hucho hucho (Linnaeus, 1758), as originally believed. Occurrence of huchen in this stretch of the Danube River is improbable. It has also been suggested that the anadromous Black Sea salmon population does not exist. It remains to be determined if the salmon occurring in the Danube River and along the coast of the Turkish, Bulgarian, Romanian and Ukrainian coasts of the Black Sea represent the black trout, i.e. the brook form of the Black Sea salmon washed down from the tributaries or the specific potamodromous river form .
