Objective
The saramugo (Anaecypris hispanica) is a freshwater fish whose distribution range is restricted to the Guadiana basin (with sporadic presence in the Guadalquivir river) in the south-west of the Iberian Peninsula. This endemic species, which is in danger of extinction, has only been discovered recently and little is known about its biological and ecological characteristics. It inhabits the same stretches of river as other endemic Iberian fish species, some of which are also rare or threatened, and which all require shallow water, a certain amount of current and submerged plants.
These species are threatened mainly because of human intervention in their habitat: the building of dams, realignment of riverbanks, extraction of aggregates and water, pollution, introduction of exotic species and illegal fishing. These in turn lead to disturbance and habitat loss, the destruction of spawning, feeding and sheltering areas, predation, the spread of disease, etc.
The main objective of this project is to conserve the saramugo and, with it, to preserve biodiversity, including the other endemic fish. By gaining a deeper insight into the biology of these species, it will be possible to define a strategy for their conservation and management, which will include the rehabilitation and protection of a suitable habitat, as well as genetic studies with a view to the possibility of captive breeding and subsequent repopulation of the watercourses. Public awareness of conservation issues and the dissemination of results among the scientific community are also important parts of the project.
