First remarks on fi sh from the running waters of Vincheto di Celarda Nature Reserve

Fish assemblages of the running waters of Vincheto di Celarda Nature Reserve (Piave River, Torrente Caorame, Rio Caoramello and Rio Celarda) were investigated in order to assess the communities abundance and structure. Investigations on the eco-morphology and water quality of rivers and streams were conducted alongside fi sh surveys. We recorded the presence of six species of fiand one cyclostome. Four species were of particular interest, listed in the Annex II of the Habitats Directive 92/43/CEE (Salmo [trutta] marmoratus, Cottus gobio, Barbus plebejus and Lampetra zanandrei). We calculated the Index of Ecological Status of Fish Communities by following the I.S.E.C.I. methodology as modifi ed in 2007.
