Salmo dentex

Description

Salmo dentex (Heckel, 1852)

Vernacular names

Zubatak. Dentex trout.

Previous names used for the species

Salar dentex Heckel, 1851; Salmo trutta dentex Heckel, 1851.

Origin and geographic range in BiH

Adriatic Basin.

Remarks

Based on the results of Snoj et al. (2010), it is possible that this species represents a form in the life cycle of Salmo marmoratus in the Neretva River catchment and of S. trutta in the Skadar Lake catchment. Results of Snoj et al. (2010) clearly indicate that S. dentex does not represent a monophyletic lineage and should not be considered a distinct species. Therefore, it is not included in the list.
