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..
