Comments |
Occurs in the Megali Prespa Lake (Ref. 75668). Widely used in fish farming; small populations resulting from stocking are found in some rivers and lakes; unsuccesful adaptation in rivers due to no establishment of natural breeding (Ref. 41624). The reported introduction (ref. 1739) has not been confirmed (ref. 95792). |
