The need to gather available data on the Eurasien huchen - an
important salmonid species - has been forced by a plain and,
unfortunately, common fact of our times: the numbers and
distribution of this biggest of salmonids have begun to decline and
its range has begun to shrink. A seminar on the huchen - the
European form of the species Hucha hucha - held in Zilina in
February 1973 as a result of a suggestion of the Section for the
Conservation of Fauna of the Slovak Zoological Society, indicated
very clearly the sad situation. Data on the biology of the huchen
are regrettably scarce despite several recent papers (Ivaska 1951,
Svetina 1962, Prawochenski and Kolder 1968) with the aim of filling
this gap. Supposing that without a thorough knowledge it is
practically impossible to conserve any plant or animal species, the
participants of the seminar concluded that the existing knowledge
on the huchen should be compiled in an exhaustive monograph. The
first such outline originated in 1977 under the authorship of J.
Holcik, K. Hensel and L. Skacel, and was submitted as a research
report to some of the central authorities. Even during the
compilation of the report it became evident, however, that there is
no difference between the huchen and its relative, the taimen.
Consequently, we immediately began revising our first report, which
took over three years.
