Abstract
Lacul Ştiucii (Pike Lake) lying on the northwest side of the Transylvanian Plain, is one of the most interesting, important and fascinating reservations in Romania, which is known (among other things) for breaking a few records, such as being the deepest natural freshwater lake in Transylvania, the less affected by anthropic interventions, whilst being the only lake in the Transylvanian Plain where floating reed islet formations have developed. One of the objectives pursued by this study has been to accurately identify the structure of the ichthyofauna, its evolution throughout the last 12 years, as well as causes lying behind a succession of significant changes occurred. To the end, we monitored 1,760 predatory fish specimens and over 3,000 non–predatory fish specimens, drawing comparisons on the current status of the fish fauna and ascertaining trends of its transformation during the last 12 years.
