- Abstract
The distribution area of Hucho hucho (Danube salmon), including Romania, has drastically diminished especially in the last half of the 20th century. Based on ichthyological studies, the hydrographic basin in which the species Hucho hucho was regularly found was that of the Viţeu River, especially the Ruscova River. This would have been the case even had restocking not been carried out. The present study reveals a good abundance of the individuals of this species of major conservative interest, and also reveals that the fish species Hucho hucho itself and the invertebrate food source of the species are in good condition. Present and potential anthropogenic threats are identified. Specific management measures for the river, as well as for the protection and conservation of the species Hucho hucho, of its food source, of the specific habitats, and of the nearby intra- and inter-lotic basinal connectivity are proposed.
