 Abstract:


   The aim of this study was to carry out an ichthyological survey on ROSCI 0386 Râul Vedea Natura 2000 site which covers a significant part of Vedea River and its tributaries with their floodplain in order to elaborate management measures for the fish species of Community interest. Between June and July 2015 we conducted ichthyological surveys on this site and we captured fish by electro-fishing from Vedea River, its tributaries (Bârza, Dorofei, Ciobănoiul, Tecuci, Bratcov, Burdea, Fântâna cu Scripete, Tinoasa and Câinele Streams) and backwaters. A total of 19 fish species were detected from 41 sampling stations in the Natura 2000 site (and close vicinity), of which six were species of Community interest. We could not detect only one Community interest species from the list of the Standard Data Form, but we detected the presence of other three, of which we proposed two to be added to the list. These proposals were accepted and the list of these Standard Data Forms were extended in 2016. We identified the main threat factors and proposed management measures in order to ensure the long-term survival of the fish species.
