Distribution and status of the genus Gobio in Croatia

The gudgeons of Croatia have been poorly studied, both in terms of their biology and taxonomy. The present study describes the knowledge of distribution and level of endangerment of the genus Gobio in Croatia. Four species of the genus Gobio live in the Croatian Danube River basin: Gobio gobio – Common gudgeon, G. albipinnatus – Whitefin gudgeon, G. kesslerii – Sand gudgeon and G. uranoscopus – Stone gudgeon, while in the Croatian Adriatic Sea basin lives only G. gobio. According to IUCN methodology and the level of endangerment, in the Red List of Threatened Plants and Animals of Croatia G. gobio is considered to be of the least concern (LC). G. uranoscopus and G. kessleri are in the category of near threatened (NT) while G. albipinnatus is considered as data deficient (DD).
