At the global scale, the best source of information on the conservation status of plants and animals is the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (see www.iucnredlist.org). We used assessments available on the European Red List website and data portal: http://www.iucnredlist.org/, http://ec.europa.eu/environment/nature/conservation/species/redlist and http://www.iucnredlist.org/europe. The waters of the Carpathians are mainly fast-flowing mountain rivers and streams with the bedrock bottom. River slope ranges between less than 10 per thousand to over 100 per thousand. The occurrence of macrophytes is rather restricted, due in part to fast currents and considerable changes in water level. Such hydrological conditions determine fish composition, with the dominant share of reophilous species. Fish preferring a bedrock bottom are a characteristic group in the Carpathian region. As part of this Red List assessment, 76 native species have been assessed, present in the seven states of the Carpathian Region.
