Diversity of lampreys and fishes of the Upper Vistula River drainage, Poland: present state and future challenges

There have been some 57 lamprey and fish species recorded in the Upper Vistula River drainage (S-E Poland). Among these there are a number of species-complexes (Carassius auratus, Gobio gobio, Cobitis taenia) with unresolved taxonomy. Identity of some others (Barbus waleckii, Romanogobio albipinnatu...

Summary:There have been some 57 lamprey and fish species recorded in the Upper Vistula River drainage (S-E Poland). Among these there are a number of species-complexes (Carassius auratus, Gobio gobio, Cobitis taenia) with unresolved taxonomy. Identity of some others (Barbus waleckii, Romanogobio albipinnatus, Cottus gobio) is questionable and needs a review. Phylogenetic relationships of another ones (Eudontomyzon mariae, Lampetra planeri, Lampetra fluviatilis) is also under debate. Knowledge about the distribution of many species is very scarce and needs to be filled. In the current work we briefly summarise present state of the diversity and classification of lampreys and fishes of the Upper Vistula drainage and point some urgent questions that have arose in recent years and are waiting for new solutions.
