- Abstract
On the basis of the data published between 1983 and 2008, this paper shows presence of tench (Tinca tinca), carp (Cyprinus carpio), pike (Esox lucius), catfish (Silurus glanis), zander (Sander lucioperca) and sterlet (Acipenser ruthenus) in the Gornje Podunavlje and Koviljsko-Petrovaradinski Rit Special Nature Reserves and the Begečka Jama Nature Park, as well as in the part of the Danube’s bed between river kilometre 1249- and 1255. The number of these fish species in the River Danube and its flood zones in this part of the Pannonian Basin is decreasing due to the use of inappropriate “tools”, electric current, uncontrolled agricultural and industrial waste dumps, degradation of the habitat. The above mentioned species deserve attention because, according to the Rulebook on declaration and protection of protected and strictly protected wild species of plants, animals and fungi of 2010, in Serbia, T. tinca is a strictly protected species, while C. carpio, E. lucius, S. glanis, S. lucioperca and A. ruthenus are listed as protected. On the basis of the 2009 Fisheries Law in Serbia, permanently closed fishing season was introduced for tench, and closed season in certain periods and fishing ban for individuals under the prescribed size for the rest of the above mentioned species. A. ruthenus is subject to the Law on Ratification of Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), ANNEX II and is listed in the category of species that may be in danger of extinction. Furthermore, it can be found on the IUCN Red List of Endangered Species of the International Union for Conservation of Nature – VU, which means that it is marked as vulnerable., Na temelju objavljenih literaturnih podataka u razdoblju od 1983 do 2008. godine, u radu je prikazana zastupljenost linjaka (Tinca tinca), šarana (Cyprinus carpio), štuke (Esox lucius), soma (Silurus glanis), smuđa (Sander lucioperca) i kečige (Acipenser ruthenus) u Specijalnim rezervatima prirode "Gornje Podunavlje" i "Koviljski-Petrovaradinski rit", Parku prirode "Begečka jama", kao i dijelu korita Dunava između 1249. i 1255. rkm. Brojnost ovih vrsta riba u Dunavu i njegovim plavnim zonama u ovom dijelu Panonskog basena opada uslijed upotrebe neodgovarajućih "alata", nekontroliranog ubacivanja poljoprivrednog i industrijskog otpada, kao i degradacije staništa. Navedene vrste zaslužuju iznimnu pozornost jer prema "Pravilniku o proglašenju i zaštiti zaštićenih i strogo zaštićenih divljih vrsta biljaka, životinja i gljiva" iz 2010. godine, u Srbiji je Tinca tinca strogo zaštićena vrsta, dok su Cyprinus carpio, Esox lucius, Silurus glanis, Sander lucioperca i Acipenser ruthenus na listi zaštićenih. Na temelju "Zakona o ribarstvu" iz 2009. godine u Srbiji je za linjaka je uveden trajni lovostaj, a za ostale spomenute vrste, lovostaj u određenom vremenskom periodu, kao i zabrana lova ispod propisane veličine. Acipenser ruthenus podliježe Zakonu o potvrđivanju Konvencije o međunarodnom prometu ugroženih vrsta divlje flore i faune (CITES) DODATAK II i spada u vrste kojima može zaprijetiti opasnost od izumiranja. Također se nalazi na IUCN crvenoj listi ugroženih vrsta međunarodne unije za zaštitu prirode - VU, što znači da se vodi kao ranjiva.
