Abstract
In the Turopolje valley which occupies 600 km2 of central Croatia, 22 fish species have been registered in the Odra River and 13 species in the Sava River. During the spring floods in MArch and April photophilous fish species from both rivers spawn in this inundated area. A program that has been launched called "Sava 2000" should prevent disastrous flooding. One proposed channel would drain the valley of the Odra and would alter the ecology of these wetlands. Compromise should be found to preserve at least part of these unique ecosystems.
