The Czech Republic lies in the centre of Europe and from the point of view of hydrology its territory belongs to three drainage areas – those of the North Sea, Black Sea and Baltic Sea. This fact has an important influence on abundant species diversity of its ichthyofauna. The occurrence of 94 species of lampreys and fish of 13 orders and 23 families was historically confirmed here both in natural waters and fish cultures. Some of them are already extinct. Other 24 species face various levels of endangerment. The Czech-Canadian project within the iBOL initiative analyzed about 1500 individuals from about 200 locations. Using a comprehensive approach (morphology, DNA barcoding, nDNA analysis) the haplotype variability was identified and pure species from hybrids were differentiated. At least in 5 genera, higher species variability than that described in literature was identified. DNA barcodes for about 72 recent indigenous and non-indigenous species were prepared. A new reference collection of all fish species of the Czech Republic for the National Museum was assembled. Efficiency of a new identification method, S7indel diagnostics, for taxonomic and biodiversity purposes was evaluated.
