Summary:Five species of the genus Gobio have been recorded in Slovenia. G. albipinnatus Lukasch, 1933, G. uranoscopus (Agassiz. 1828), G. gobio (Linnaeus, 1758) and G. kesslerii Dybowski, 1862 inhabit watercourses of the Danube River in the eastern part of Slovenia (the catchments of the Sava, Drava and Mura rivers). G. benacensis (Pollini, 1816) inhabits Adriatic sea basin (the catchment of the Vipava river). The last one was found in Slovenia for the first time in October 2003. In the Red List of Slovenian Freshwater Fishes and Lampreys three species G. albipinnatus, G. uranoscopus and G. kesslerii are classified as vulnerable (V). These species were proposed to be added in Annex II of Council Directive 92/43/EEC. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
