discussion
Remarks The taxonomic status and distribution range of Squalius squalus is still a matter of an ongoing debate (Buj et al. 2020 a). According to their results, its distribution range is fragmented and encompasses the Istrian rivers and Visovac Lake on the Krka River in Croatia, and Trebišnjica River and the Ravno field in BiH; it was not found in the main course of the Krka or Neretva rivers. Previous literature mentioned Leuciscus cephalus albus Bonaparte, 1838 (Vuković 1977 a), and L. cavedanus (Bonaparte, 1838) (Karaman 1928) in BiH, according to Buj et al. (2020 a) for these reports, the recommended taxonomy is S. squalus.
