State of distribution of endemic species in Eastern Herzegovina was monitored in a several watercourses and accumulations in this area. For this research was used interviewing local fishermen about their observation and also our own fish collecting. For collecting was used transportable electroshocker IG 600. With power 1.2 kW and nets with different diameters. Fish collecting and monitoring of their distribution was done from year 2004 to 2010 in periods of year when individuals come out into surface waters. Beside determination of minnow presence in tested waters, eco-physiological researches were also done. Researches were done in Lake Bileća and in Rivers: Vrijeka, Opačica, Mušnica, also in streams Suško and Ljubomirsko, and in Fatničko field after water flood. During the entire researched period a presence of striped pijor was established (Telestes metohiensis, previous name Phoxinellus metohiensis). Trebinje and popovo minnow according to new systematics are consolidated in one species Delminichthys ghetaldii, and in our research was recorded presence of trebinje minnow (previous name Phoxinellus pstrossi) in some of the researched water. A number of large specimens of trebinje minnow was collected in region of Fatničko filed after its outflow, and in significant number in Ljubomir stream. Beside mentioned species in researches was recorded a presence of species Phoxinellus alepidotus in River Vrijeka during research conducted in March 2011, which presents a first finding of this species in this area.
