The diversity, species composition and structure of the fish community were studied in the vicinity of three power plant reservoirs in the middle part of the Drava River in Croatia. Over a period of twenty years in a collection of 25,913 fishes, 56 different fish species belonging to 16 families were recorded. The family Cobitidae is represented by two species: Cobitis elongatoides and Misgurnus fossilis, while the family Balitoridae is represented by only one species, Barbatula barbatula. The presence of the Cobitidae family was recorded in eleven of seventeen investigated localities, while Balitoridae was found in six localities. In the studied fish community, the percentage of C. elongatoides is 1.41% of the total number of individuals, and B. harbatula is 1.02%. M. fossilis is a rare species (0.03 %). Both C. elongatoides and B. barbatula were not caught at the beginning of investigation. C. elongatoides and B. harhatula were first caught in 1985, while M. fossilis was first caught in 1996. The proportion of C. elongatoides in the entire community increased, while the proportion of B. barhatula decreased in later years.
