We provide an overview of the distribution of loaches in Hungary and evaluate their status from a conservation viewpoint. Fish faunistic data, from the last twenty-five years (1975-2000) were reviewed to show the distribution of four genera of loaches: Barbatula, Misgurnus, Cobitis and Sabanejewia. Based on fish occurrence data, distribution maps were drawn to evaluate the abundance of species (B. barbatula, M. fossilis) or genera (Cobitis, Sabanejewia). We characterize the conservation status of each taxon within IUCN categories. Because species (i.e., cytogenetic level) diversity is unknown for the genera Cobitis and Sabanejewia, optimal selection of populations for conservation is not possible at present.

We present a phylogenetic investigation of the Northern Clade, the major monophyletic clade within the freshwater fish family Cobitidae, one of the most prominent families of freshwater fishes found in Asian and European waters. Phylogenetic reconstructions based on the cytochrome b and RAG-1 genes show the genera Microcobitis, Sabanejewia, Koreocobitis and Kichulchoia as monophyletic groups. These reconstructions also show a Cobitis sensu lato and a Misgurnus sensu lato group.

Invasive Ponto-Caspian (P-C(1)) gobies have recently caused dramatic changes in fish assemblage structures throughout the Danube basin. While their presence in the Croatian part of the basin has been noted and distribution studied, their dietary habits and impacts on native fish communities have, until now, been unknown. In 2011, 17 locations in the Sava River Basin were sampled for fish and 15 for benthic invertebrates.

The diversity of the 5S rDNA fragment among three loach species: Cobitis taenia, C. elongatoides and Sabanejewia aurata was investigated using universal PCR primers for this gene. Three amplification products were obtained: 220 bp length for C.

The family Cobitidae represents a characteristic element of the Eurasian ichthyofauna. Despite diverse features of sexual dimorphism, comparably few morphological characters have been utilized for taxonomic studies resulting in many unresolved puzzles. Here we present the phylogenetic relationships of Cobitidae as inferred from the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene and the nuclear gene RAG-1.
