Abstract
Cobitis jadovaensis is a stenoendemic freshwater fish species distributed only in the River Jadova, a small stream in the karst region of Lika in Croatia. Major threats for this fish species are: extremely limited distribution, water abstraction, introduction of alien fish species and increasing severity of droughts. Recommendations for conservation are: habitat protection, prevention of outspreading of alien species from the River Lika and bans on introduction of newalien fish species.
