UGROŽENE RIBE SVIJETA: Salmo obtusirostris salonitana (KARAMAN, 1926) (SALMONIDAE)

Soft-muzzled trout is an endemic vulnerable species protected in Croatia. It is endangered by river regulation, industrial pollution and above all by a very restricted distribution and hybridization with foreign trout. Urgent habitat protection with bans on further regulation of the watercourse is suggested. Captive breeding of the fish and translocation to a new habitat should be initiated. Stocking with foreign trout should also be banned.Mekousna pastrva je endemska osjetljiva riblja vrsta, zakonom zaštićena u Republici Hrvatskoj. Ugrožena je zbog regulacije vodotokova rijeka, industrijskih onečišćenja, no iznad svega zbog ograničenog areala rasprostranjenosti te križanja s potočnom pastrvom. U radu se predlaže zaštita staništa mekousne pastrve, zabrana daljnje regulacije vodotoka, zatim uzgoj i translokacija u novo stanište. Ukazuje se i na zabranu poribljavanja s potočnom pastrvom
