The last salmon was acquired from the Drawa in 1986 (Chelkowski 1987a) (Tab.…”

The first published information on the state of the fish fau na of the drainage area of the Plociczna were based on electrofishing performed in the frames of the conducted at that time inventory of the river (Chelkowski et al 1987) as well as in the search f o r the salmon and its spawning grounds in the lower stretch of the Plociczna (Chelkowski 1987(Chelkowski , 1988(Chelkowski , 1989.
