Abstract: This paper proposes the presentation and analysis of the fish fauna and the specific benthic resources of the Prut River and its tributaries: Costesti-Stânca, Beleu, Manta. An important objective of the paper is to present the differences in hydrobiotop diversity in different riparian sectors. A healthy ecosystem has a rich ichthyofauna due to the diversity of vegetation and fish species capable of withstanding resistance to aggressive external factors and threats. The aquatic biodiversity of the Prut River is a major complex consisting of phytoplankton and zooplankton. To optimize production of fish, an important factor is maintaining the balance quantity and quality of the entire water system. From this point of view, the paper presented also quantitative aspects of zoobenthos, which is different in the analyzed areas, being influenced by the degree of pollution, the hydrological regime or the physico-chemical conditions. Research has revealed significant differences between different areas of the aquatic fauna of the Prut, mainly due to the human factor. The study is a preliminary one, preparing a broader analysis of the impact of the human factor in the aquatic areas of the Republic of Moldova. Identifying and analyzing the factors that have led to the modification of aquatic structure and diversity can serve as arguments for achieving viable measures for the protection and sustainable use of natural aquatic resources at national level.
