Methods

Fish sampling was mainly performed in the warm season, following national monitoring guidelines (APAT, 2007), by direct-current electrofishing in shallow areas (e.g. upper stretches of rivers) combined with nets (a combination of trammel nets, gillnets and drop nets) in sites of higher water depth and conductivity (e.g. lower stretches of the rivers), to verify the results of electrofishing. The sampling effort was directed to ensure that all macrohabitats within each site (i.e. river stretch) were covered, and standardized based on sampled area, to allow comparisons between sites. Fish species were classified according to Kottelat and Freyhof (2007), taking into account recent taxonomic determinations and common names as listed in FishBase (Froese and Pauly, 2017) [Extracted from Milardi et al., 2020]. Unit of abundance= Moyle abundance classes ranging from 1 (lower abundance, 1-2 individuals per site) to 5 (higher abundance, more than 50 individuals per site).
