The Vez river - Planning and sustainable management of the fish specie (Salmo trutta)
The study took place at the Vez River that belongs to the Lima River basin and Minho and Lima region basin located in the municipality of Arcos de Valdevez. Due to its diversity of habitat and species that shelter the Vez River area were classified as Site of Community Importance (SCI) for the Conse...
