Group: A = Amphibians, B = Birds, F = Fish, I = Invertebrates, M = Mammals, P = Plants, R = Reptiles
S: in case that the data on species are sensitive and therefore have to be blocked for any public access enter: yes
NP: in case that a species is no longer present in the site enter: x (optional)
Type: p = permanent, r = reproducing, c = concentration, w = wintering (for plant and non-migratory species use permanent)
Unit: i = individuals, p = pairs or other units according to the Standard list of population units and codes in accordance with Article 12 and 17 reporting (see reference portal)
Abundance categories (Cat.): C = common, R = rare, V = very rare, P = present - to fill if data are deficient (DD) or in addition to population size information
Data quality: G = 'Good' (e.g. based on surveys); M = 'Moderate' (e.g. based on partial data with some extrapolation); P = 'Poor' (e.g. rough estimation); VP = 'Very poor' (use this category only, if not even a rough estimation of the population size can be made, in this case the fields for population size can remain empty, but the field "Abundance categories" has to be filled in)

3.3 Other important species of flora and fauna (optional)

Group: A = Amphibians, B = Birds, F = Fish, Fu = Fungi, I = Invertebrates, L = Lichens, M = Mammals, P = Plants, R = Reptiles
CODE: for Birds, Annex IV and V species the code as provided in the reference portal should be used in addition to the scientific name
S: in case that the data on species are sensitive and therefore have to be blocked for any public access enter: yes
NP: in case that a species is no longer present in the site enter: x (optional)
Unit: i = individuals, p = pairs or other units according to the standard list of population units and codes in accordance with Article 12 and 17 reporting, (see reference portal)
Cat.: Abundance categories: C = common, R = rare, V = very rare, P = present
Motivation categories: IV, V: Annex Species (Habitats Directive), A: National Red List data; B: Endemics; C: International Conventions; D: other reasons

Other Site Characteristics

Zona umeda din regiunea biogeografica continetala cu caracteristici ce impun prezena în cadrul aceleiai zone a speciilor Lutra lutra i a doua specii de liliac - Myotis myotis i Myotis dasycneme alaturi de specii de amfibieni i reptile de interes conservativ dar i de patru specii de peti de asemenea de interes conservativ.;

4.2 Quality and importance

Foarte important pentru protejarea speciei Cobitis elongata! Este printre puinele situri desemnate pentru Emys orbicularis, si Lutra lutra. De importana ridicata i pentru speciile de amfibieni Bombina ,Triturus, i Myotis. Situl functioneaza si ca coridor pentru Canis lupus la limita distributiei speciei fiind totodata unul dintre putinele situri propuse pentru specie in bioregiunea continentala care este la limita cu bioregiunea pannonica.;
