_____
A study by University of Ljubliana and Fisheries Research Institute of Slovenia
This section will promote relevant recent hydrobiological studies. It will be great to see more and more of these reports for any major and minor European water body.
Herewith, a link to a recent report about the Huchen population in the Danube basin.

Conservation Genetics study of Huchen in Slovenia.
[EXCERPTS]
.. The highest
values of observed and expected heterozygosity and allelic richness
coincided with intensively stocked populations (Bohinjka, middle
Sava), while the lowest values were observed in less stocked populations (Kolpa, Ljubljanica)..
.. in Slovenia, the protection of huchen and their habitats is in direct
conflict with the national strategic plan for the construction of HPPs.
The Habitats Directive (Council of the European Communities, 1992)
ensures both the protection of individual species and the conservation
of core breeding and resting sites..
