Summary

Researchers investigated biodiversity outcomes at the Oltul Mijlociu-Cibin-Hartibaciu Natura 2000 site in Romania, documenting the probable local extinction of the protected fish species Pelecus cultratus and the arrival of the alien species Babka gymnotrachelus as ecological indicators of inadequate conservation management. The findings challenge the assumption that Natura 2000 designation alone ensures effective biodiversity protection.

Abstract The Romanian Oltul Mijlociu-Cibin-Hârtibaciu Natura 2000 site of community importance (SCI) was designated for the purpose of protecting biodiversity and maintaining the wild flora and fauna in a favourable conservation status, as well as the natural habitats of conservation interest. This research focused on the possible disparition of one protected fish species Pelecus cultratus (Linnaeus, 1758) and the appearance of an alien one Babka gymnotrachelus (Kessler, 1857), as ecological indicators of the fact that at least this Natura 2000 site is far from being properly protected and a new, more responsible way should be followed and different administrators put in charge of the areas management.
