The importance of genetic cluster recognition for the conservation of migratory fish species: the example of the endangered European huchen Hucho hucho (L.).

European huchen Hucho hucho (L.) is an endangered flagship species, which is endemic to the Danube drainage in central Europe. To date, no genetic information has been available as a basis for ongoing conservation and breeding programmes for the species.
