Present paper aims to bring arguments in favour of Natura 2000 site proposing - Lower Timiş River, for Gobio albipinnatus species conservation. These arguments rely on the author’s original actual data, about Gobio albipinnatus population and its fish community - specific criteria (well preserved fish populations; stable fish populations; healthy fish populations; typical natural habitats; low human impact; favorable geographical position).
