Sažetak
In the ichthyological research carried out from 1981 to 1993, twenty-two taxa (species, subspecies) and one hybrid (Salmo trutta m. fario x S. marmoratus) from 10 families (Siluridae, Anguillidae, Esocidae, Salmonidae, Cyprinidae, Cyprinodontidae, Poecilidae, Gasterosteidae, Cottidae, Gobiidae) were recorded in fresh waters of the Istrian Penisula. Twelve of them were native, and 10 introduced. Results differ in comparison with literature data, in which 27 taxa and one hybrid from 11 families were listed, as well as one lamprey species (Petromyzontidae). We failed to repeat the records of five species listed in the literature, i.e. Barbus barbus, B. meridionalis, B. caninus, Leuciscus cephalus, and L. leuciscus. The mentioned data were related to Barbus plebejus, and Leuciscus cephalus albus and L. svallizee respectively. The taxa Gobio gobio obtusirostris, Knipowitschia panizzai, Leuciscus svallize, Carasius auratus auratus, and Carassius auratus gibelio represent the first record for Istrian Waters. For the first time, Alburnus albidus alborella was caught in the Mirna river and in Butoniga reservoir. Old data were related exclusively to Lake Čepić, drained out in 1932/33. The presence of Leuciscus svallize in Istrian waters is the most nothernmost record of its occurrence in the Adriatic Basin. The present study has expanded the distribution data on Phoxinus phoxinus, Rutilus rubilio, and Gambusia affinis in Istrian waters. The nothernmost occurrence of Rutilus rubilio in Croatia was registered in the Boljunčica stream and the Raša river.
