“…Particularly interesting population of this species is one from the river Suturlija which is described as subspecies by Karaman (1963). The subsequent studies showed that this population does not differ from the others based on the meristic characteristics (Bajrić et al 2018a).…”

UDK: 597.551.2(497) Sabanejewia balcanica is a fish species that belongs to Cobitidae family and it is the endemic of the Balkan Peninsula. It is present in the tributaries of the Danube and Aegean waters. Systematics of this species has experienced certain changes that are related to the systemic instability of the entire Cobitidae family, so there has been a change in the name of the genus of this species. The genus Sabanejewia was separated from the genus Cobitis in the last century, but this name was generally used much later. According to data of the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, this species is still not endangered, but is assigned a status of least concern (LC). Sabanejewia balcanica is in the Annex II of the Habitats Directive and Annex III of the Bern Convention which basically require the protection of this species and its habitats. In the proposal to create a red list of fauna of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, has been concluded that there is not enough information on the population characteristics of this species. The aim of this article is to present data on exploration of Sabanejewia balcanica in the Balkan area as well as Bosnia and Herzegovina, thereby contributing to the determination of its status of vulnerability and protection of its natural habitats.

“…Through monitoring these relationships, it is possible to determine the health condition of fish populations. In addition to studying these characteristics, studies on their meristic and behavioral traits offer significant information on fish populations [1]. Any management strategy that aims to safeguard biodiversity can be successful only if it is based on a thorough awareness of the diffusion, ecology and biology of the fish species [2], [3].…”

The aim of this research is the analysis of the length-weight relationships and the condition factor of chub (Squalius cephalus L.) from certain rivers in northeastern Bosnia and Herzegovina that belong to the Black Sea basin. The research was conducted on 200 specimens of chub (Squalius cephalus L.) during 2019. The estimated values of the total body length ranged from 10.06 cm to 29.33 cm, with the mean body length of 15.97 cm in the total sample. The fish weight ranged from 8.0 g to 264.5 g, with the mean value of 46.8 g. The length-weight relationships of chub were determined in relation to their age classes. The fish in age classes 1+, 4+ and 5+ indicate a positive allometric growth (b > 3), while the fish in age classes 2+ and 3+ have a negative allometric growth (b < 3). The analysis of the coefficient of determination, R2, shows that the fish in age classes 1+ i 4+ have the highest values of this coefficient (> 0,9). ANOVA analysis of the condition factor of chub based on age classes indicates that there are no statistically significant differences in the distribution of this factor between the fish of the same age classes from different localities (P < 0.05).

The status of golden loaches (genus Sabanejewia ) in the region of Central Europe and Balkans is still ambiguous. The greatest controversy is caused by species Sabanejewia balcanica and S. bulgarica . Both species are characterized by a wide spectrum of morphological variability and overlapping of distinguishing features, which then lead to difficulties in their determination. Previous phylogenetic studies aimed on the resolving of their taxonomic status did not include samples from their type localities and so led to a lack of their true distribution in this region. Therefore, the main aim of this study was to identify taxonomic status of golden loaches populations in the region of the middle Danube basin and adjacent areas on the model territory of Slovakia. For this purpose, we used novelty approach (morphological, molecular, and microhabitat) and we also included the missing samples from the type localities of both species. Based on mtDNA all the Slovakian samples reflected haplotype richness revealed on the type locality of S. bulgarica , although the genetic distances from other representatives of the genus Sabanejewia occurring are not significant. Within the morphology, we have revealed a great measure of variability in studied populations, which is largely caused by different habitat conditions and thus representing a phenotypic plasticity of these fish.
