Sažetak
The Neretva rudd, Scardinius plotizza, is an endemic cyprinid species restricted to the Adriatic drainage system Neretva River basin) of Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, which biological and ecological characteristics, occurrence and distribution, are yet largely unknown and is cataloged as being data defi cient (DD) in the Croatian Red Book. Due to its exceptionally small distribution range, it can be considered a stenoendemic. Therefore, more information about its life cycle is essential to develop appropriate management strategies. Major threats are a very narrow distribution area, sparse information about its biology, sensitivity to organic pollution, regulation of rivers and draining of wetlands. This paper is a brief summary of taxonomy, biological-ecological status, present population trends and conservation traits. It represents an overview of the current state of knowledge of the species, with particular emphasis on the conservation challenges.
