Abstract:

This article represents a comparative study

on the fish fauna from the Bistricioara River

before the anthropic impact that took place after

1960 and the present fauna. The evaluation of the

present status of the fish communities was

performed in 4 collecting points on the main

course of the river, by highlighting the abundance

and absolute biomass, the numeric stock and

gravimetrical stock at each collecting point.

The ecological rang of every species in the

structure of fish communities and the present

zoning fish of the river were determined by

calculating the ecological indices (constancy,

dominance, ecological significance). The

biodiversity index and the biological integrity

index (IBI), which are the best indicators of the

degree to which the fish fauna is affected by the

anthropic impact, were also calculated.

Keywords:

stock, biodiversity, index of biological integrity, BistriĆŁa catchment area.
