Popis: Microcondylaea bonelli (Férussac 1827) inhabits rivers in the northern and eastern region of the adriatic sea. Actual IUCN conservation status is VU (vulnerable), it is listed in Annex V of the Flora-Fauna-Habitat directive of the EU. Due to construction works, frequent severe flooding and habitat changes the species is in rapid decline in its whole area. Conservation status should therefore be altered to CR (Critically Endangered) and the habitats of the remaining populations especially in Croatia managed to stop the decline.
