Abstract

Mostar minnow, Phoxinellus pseudalepidotus, is a freshwater fish endemic to the Neretva River drainage. Present data suggest that species is restricted only to wetland of the Mostarsko Blato but it is considered to be distributed more widely in the River Neretva basin. It is threatened because of the extremely limited range of distribution, river regulation and influence of the non-indigenous species. Suggested conservation actions for Mostar minnow are habitat protection and establishing of the nature reserve in the area of the Mostarsko Blato. Stocking with translocated and non-native species should be also banned.<br />Prikanac, Phoxinellus pseudalepidotus, je slatkovodna vrsta ribe endemična za slijev rijeke Neretve. Dostupni podaci govore da joj je rasprostranjenost ograničena na Mostarsko blato iako se smatra da naseljava i šire područje rijeke Neretve. Glavni uzroci ugroženosti ove vrste su ograničeno područje rasprostranjenosti, regulacija vodotoka i unos alohtonih vrsta. Predložene mjere zaštite za ovu vrstu su zaštita staništa i osnivanje rezervata prirode na području Mostarskog blata, kao i zabrana regulacije i pregradnje vodotoka te zabrana unosa alohtonih vrsta u vode koje naseljava ova vrsta.
