Abstract

The results obtained during fifteen years (1977-1992) about the fish fauna distribution in 48 stations of the Simeto basin are reported. We have recorded 19 species of teleosts belonging to 13 families. The comparison between the present distribution of the fish fauna and that existing in past years (Tigano, 1983) indicates that the ichthyofauna met with a remarkable altereation and a general impoverishment.
