AB  - Over the last 14 years, ichthyological and ecological parameters have been monitored in
the Labudovo okno Ramsar site. This area is important for its biodiversity as it is home to many
rare and endangered plants and animal species. A total of 3861 fish specimens were sampled and
measured at six sampling sites four times during the sampling period. An analysis of biodiversity
indexes, relative biomass (kg/ha), and relative annual production (kg/ha) was carried out to assess
the effectiveness of existing conservation measures. The results obtained show a trend decline in
biodiversity, relative biomass, and relative annual production. This indicates a biodiversity conservation
problem that should be addressed through other mechanisms in addition to the principles of the
Ramsar Convention.

AB  - Salmonids are an extensively hatchery-reared group of fishes that have been introduced worldwide mainly for their high commercial and recreational value. The Balkan Peninsula (south-eastern Europe) is characterised by an outstanding salmonid diversity that has become threatened by the introduction of non-native salmonids whose potential risk of invasiveness in the region remains unknown and especially so under predicted climate change conditions. In this study, 13 extant and four horizon non-native salmonid species were screened for their risk of invasiveness in the Danube and Adriatic basins of four Balkan countries. Overall, six (35%) of the screened species were ranked as carrying a high risk of invasiveness under current climate conditions, whereas under predicted conditions of global warming, this number decreased to three (17%). Under current climate conditions, the very high risk (‘top invasive’) species were rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss and brown trout Salmo trutta ( sensu stricto ), whereas under predicted climate change, this was true only of O. mykiss . A high risk was also attributed to horizon vendace Coregonus albula and lake charr Salvelinus namaycush , and to extant Atlantic salmon Salmo salar and brook trout Salvelinus fontinalis , whose risk of invasiveness, except for S. fontinalis , decreased to medium. For the other eleven medium-risk species, the risk score decreased under predicted climate change, but still remained medium. The outcomes of this study reveal that global warming will influence salmonids and that only species with wider temperature tolerance, such as O. mykiss will likely prevail. It is anticipated that the present results may contribute to the implementation of appropriate management plans to prevent the introduction and translocation of non-native salmonids across the Balkan Peninsula. Additionally, adequate measures should be developed for aquaculture facilities to prevent escapees of non-native salmonids with a high risk of invasiveness, especially into recipient areas of high conservation value.

AB  - Brown trout of non-native lineages have been stocked into Croatian streams and rivers primarily to meet angler demand. The diet of brown trout in the Black Sea Basin of Croatia is poorly understood, and there are no studies examining feeding competition between the Atlantic (AT) and Danube (DA) lineages of brown trout and their hybrids (HY). The aim of this study was to examine the natural diet of brown trout of both lineages and their hybrids and to compare feeding overlap. Canonical correspondence analysis was used to investigate the relationships between feeding habits of fish from different streams and of different genetic origin. The differences in variation of the consumed prey items were analysed by canonical variate analysis, and diet overlap was assessed by the Schoener index. The results indicate that stocked brown trout (AT) adapt rapidly to new habitat and food, as revealed by the consumption of a wide range of available food items and competition for food and space by taking on the feeding behaviour of wild native conspecifics. Diet overlap was also detected between brown trout of the DA and AT lineages. This study highlights the need to implement control measures to preserve and protect the native diversity of this species.

AB  - Small run-of-river hydropower plants (RRHPs) have revealed strong harmful effects worldwide on stream habitats (e.g., fragmentation and destruction) and decreased fish species, especially anadromous species abundance. Recently, RRHPs have rapidly been installed in Serbia. Most were installed on montane streams because their steep slopes are most convenient for hydropower energy production at minimal costs. Brown trout Salmo trutta are prominent in the fish communities of this rarest type of aquatic ecosystems. Their native molecular diversity reflects a biodiversity hotspot in the Balkans, and they provide attractive fishing opportunities. Records from fishery management plans for highland stream fisheries where RRHPs were installed revealed reduced brown trout biomass compared with streams without RRHPs. Research on six streams with operational RRHPs revealed severe deterioration of habitat, for example, increased water temperature, reduced dissolved oxygen, and increased nutrient contents. Effects on fish communities were evident from a change in their structure. Resident, stream-dwelling brown trout were the most affected species with steep declines in abundance, biomass, and productivity. Fragmentation owing to damming was also reflected by deterioration of their age structure. Unique native brown trout stocks susceptible to adverse effects are difficult to restore by stocking, and fish passages commonly supplied as compensation to overcome the disruption of habitats cannot mitigate the threat posed to the fish.

AB  - Brown trout is a salmonid fish with a natural range extending throughout western Eurasia and North Africa. Due to its commercial value, it has also been introduced worldwide. In continental Croatia, introduced trout of the Atlantic lineage hybridizes with native trout of the Danubian lineage, threatening the native genetic diversity. The geometric morphometrics approach was used in this study to analyse changes in shape between native trout, introduced trout and their hybrids, classified a priori by molecular phylogenetic analyses. A total of 19 landmarks and semi-landmarks were used to capture the shape of 92 trout individuals belonging to two lineages and their hybrids. Canonical variate analysis and discriminant function analysis were used to analyse and describe shape variation. A significant difference was found between the shape of the Atlantic lineage trout and both Danubian lineage trout and hybrids, with the most prominent differences in body depth, head length and eye size. No statistically significant shape differences were observed between Danubian lineage trout and the hybrids. The observed significant differences in shape could be the result of genetic diversity or trout phenotypic plasticity. Further studies are needed to clarify the origin of this variation in shape.

AB  - Brown trout Salmo trutta and Macedonian trout Salmo macedonicus molecular diversity in the streams draining on the southern slopes of the Stara Planina Mts. was assessed from mitochondrial DNA control region (CR) extracted from fin clip samples collected during the last ten years. It revealed an occurrence of seven haplotypes from three phylogeographic lineages (Danubian, Adriatic and Atlantic) in total. Only the two haplotypes, Da1a and Da-s6, can be inferred for certain as the native ones, owing to their occurrence in the headwaters of streams hitherto void of introgression of brown trout from downstream sections, due to unsurmountable waterfalls. The conservation status of brown trout that have the very common Da22 haplotype is not certain yet. They are very abundant in streams that were subject to massive stockings in the last ten years, occurring both in the headwaters and in the downstream sections, without the physical barrier between them. The rest of haplotypes belong either to the Atlantic or Adriatic haplogroups and they are most likely non-native in this area.

AB  - Background. The molecular diversity of brown trout, Salmo trutta Linnaeus, 1758, has been poorly studied in Croatia. The control region of mitochondrial DNA (CR mtDNA) is in addition to other molecular markers a reliable for identifying phylogenetic lineages (haplogroups) and haplotypes of brown trout. Based on analyses of the control region of mitochondrial DNA several major brown trout phylogenetic lineages were identified of which the Danubian (DA) haplotypes, though not all, are considered native to Croatian rivers belonging to the Danube basin. The introduction of allochthonous haplotypes into natural streams seriously threatens the genetic diversity of this species. Therefore, the aim of this study was to map brown trout populations inhabiting Croatian rivers of the Danube River basin and to investigate their molecular diversity and phylogeographic patterns of the established haplotypes. Materials and methods. Anal fin tissue was taken from 141 specimens of brown trout in 14 localities in the protected areas of Croatia, situated in the mountainous regions of Gorski Kotar, Žumberak, as well as Mountain Papuk in the western Slavonia. The total DNA was extracted and then the amplification of the mtDNA control region was carried out using primers Trutta-mt-F and HN20. Amplification of the 440 bp long region of the LDH-C1 gene locus was done using primers Ldhxon3F and Ldhxon4R. Amplified LDH-C* fragments were used for Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) analysis using BselI restriction enzyme. Results. Analysis of the CR mtDNA revealed the presence of two phylogenetic lineages, the DA and the Atlantic (AT). Haplotypes Da1, Da2, and Da22 were recorded within the DA lineage and At1 was recorded within the AT haplogroup. Two new haplotypes were described for the first time in this study and are named Da1f and Da1g. Restriction analysis of the lactate dehydrogenase gene locus revealed a high degree of hybridization between brown trout of DA and AT haplogroups. Conclusion. The results of this study confirmed the complex molecular diversity of brown trout and the high degree of the introduction of non-native haplogroups into rivers of the Danube basin in Croatia. Conservation of native brown trout populations has become evident, as introduced allochthonous DA and AT haplogroups severely disrupt the indigenous brown trout stock.

AB  - The diversity of native trout fish Salmo spp. comprises a variety of nominal taxa in Serbia, Montenegro, and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Recent mapping of the resident trout populations detected the presence of brown trout Salmo trutta (sensu stricto) of the Atlantic (AT) mtDNA lineage introduced into populations of both tentative Danubian trout Salmo labrax and of tentative Adriatic trout Salmo farioides belonging to the Danubian (DA) and Adriatic (AD) mtDNA lineages, respectively. Introduction of the tentative Macedonian trout Salmo macedonicus of the AD lineage was also detected in a native population of the tentative S. labrax. In almost all recipient nonmigratory trout populations, a cross-breeding between native and introduced trout was detected by heterozygosity in either only the LDH-C nuclear locus or the LDH-C and specific microsatellite loci. The only exception was a population where both resident and migratory, lake-dwelling individuals of the tentative Adriatic trout spawned in a downstream section of a stream in Montenegro, as no microsatellite alleles of Atlantic brown trout that had been introduced upstream were detected. The occurrence of cross-breeding between Adriatic and brown trout was evident in the isolated, upstream section. It appears that migrating, lake-dwelling Adriatic trout in combination with their resident, stream-dwelling conspecifics suppress the introgression of genes from those situated upstream. In this regard, consideration should be given to the occurrence of the migratory brown trout in the Danube River at the broader Iron Gate Gorge area. They migrate in late summer and early fall from the Iron Gate One reservoir to the lower sections of tributaries devoid of any trout fish. However, some of these streams house very special native trout of the DA lineage in their short-extending upper sections. These native trout populations are, so far, still out of contact with the reservoir-dwelling trout. However, given the resilience of trout and their migratory life history, the outcome of this introduction could be deleterious for those native fish that are very precious in the conservation sense.

AB  - Streams’ order, their width and depth, as well as the water temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen contents and pH reaction were recorded for 18 streams of the Danube River basin in Serbia that home brown trout Salmo trutta. For each of them, the number of fish species was recorded, and for brown trout in them the number of cohorts, age-structure, productivity (biomass, annual production and average weight) and growth (von Betalanffy’s growth parameters L∞, t0, K and ø’) were calculated. They were examined in relation to stream’s habitat features. Stepwise multiple regression revealed strong interdependence between habitat variables. Size, i.e., width and depth of streams increased and their oxygen content dropped with increase in their order and rise of the water temperature, and water conductivity was strongly interrelated with order and depth of streams. Increase in streams’ order and their water’s temperature were accompanied with the increase of species number in them, number of brown trout cohorts raised with the water conductivity and dropped with the increase of the alkaline pH value of streams, whereas growth of brown trout was determined by width of streams and their water’s conductivity. However, when analyzed one at a time, very few of habitat and population traits, e.g., stream depth and L∞, varied clearly in streams of either various orders, or conductivity classes, respectively. The notable, but not yet significant variability of almost all other characters implicates their strong and complex acting in concert to determining number of fish species in syntopy, brown trout population, productivity and growth features.

AB  - Background. The diversity of wild trout stocks in Montenegro is compromised by insufficiently controlled stocking. Adriatic and Mediterranean areas show a high degree of endemism of the salmonid species, with numerous native Salmo taxa described. The invasive effect of brown trout, Salmo trutta Linnaeus, 1758, of the Atlantic haplogroup on the endemic Adriatic trout, Salmo farioides Karaman, 1938, in the drainage area of the Adriatic Sea basin is lower compared to the effect inflicted by S. trutta has on Salmo labrax Pallas, 1814 of the Danubian haplogroup. The presently reported study was intended to describe the genetic structure of the population of Adriatic trout, Salmo farioides, from the Mrtvica River, a right tributary of the Morača River, Montenegro, in order to get an insight into the spread of non-native strains and their introgression into the native Adriatic trout gene pool. Materials and methods. Trout specimens sampled from the lower section of the Mrtvica River from 2004 to 2007, and from its upper section in the spring of 2014, were analysed for their mtDNA haplotypes. Nuclear DNA markers (microsatellites, LDH-C1* gene) were also included in genetic analyses since mtDNA is inherited only maternally. After statistical analyses, relations between individuals from the upper and lower Mrtvica River were reconstructed. Results. Using both LDH-C1* and seven microsatellite loci with several alleles exclusive to S. trutta, an introgression was detected only in the upper reaches of the Mrtvica River, where only stream-dwelling trout form occurs. In the lower reaches no introgression was detected at all, as revealed by the absence of both the Atlantic mitochondrial haplotype and microsatellite alleles exclusive to S. trutta. Conclusion. The allelic frequency at seven microsatellite loci of Salmo spp. from the two river sections revealed very different population structure, as a consequence of a low rate of gene flow between them. In addition to the physical barrier that prevents Salmo sp. from the lower Mrtvica River to migrate to the upper river section, it seems that the opportunity to mate with the large pool of conspecifics, including lake-dwelling S. farioides (i.e., Salmo cf. dentex), prevents Salmo trutta from surviving at the lower stretch and spread to the rest of the Morača River and Lake Skadar systems.
