This paper presents the recent results of the fish faunal study carried out in the lower course of the Cerna River, between the confluence with its main tributary (Belareca River), and until its discharge into the Danube. The study was carried out between 2020–2024 and refers to four sampling stations. Nineteen fish species were identified, besides the first occurrence of Cobitis elongata – the Balkan loach. The first record of this species in Cerna River is an important discovery as long as the previous data, including fish surveys in the studied area, do not mention the species in this river system.
