Freshwater fishes (Petromyzonti, Elasmobranchii, and Actinopteri) of Bosnia and Herzegovina: an updated inventory on the biodiversity and distribution

discussion

Remarks Endemic to BiH and Croatia; in BiH, it is recorded in the lower Neretva River catchment (Neretva and its tributaries: Tihaljina, Trebižat, Jasenica, Bregava, Buna and Hutovo Blato wetland), and upstream to the confluence with the Buna River (Tutman et al. 2018). In the older literature, it was mentioned as Rutilus rubilio (Vuković 1963 a, 1977 a; Kosorić & Vuković 1966 a, 1966 b; Vuković & Seratlić-Savić 1967; Vuković & Ivanović 1970; Vuković & Vuković 1970), in Bogut et al. (2006) and in Sofradžija (2009) as R. basak, for the lower Neretva River. Subsequently, Bianco & Ketmaier (2014) revised the taxonomy of the genus Rutilus, creating the genus Leucos, and the species in the Neretva River catchment was regarded as Leucos basak.
