In 2024 and 2025, several specimens of Blicca bjoerkna and Carassius gibelio were captured from the Ialomița River, near the locality of Fierbinți-Târg. The length-weight relationship indicated that the white bream and Prussian carp exhibited positive allometric growth. To complete the habitat assessment, two water samples, collected from the fish capture site (S1) and from another section of the same river (S2), were analyzed for physico-chemical parameters and compared with the limits established by national quality standards and recommended values for fish. Considering all
measured quality parameters, water from S2 is of lower quality than that from S1. Microbiological analyses revealed the presence of Gram-positive cocci, bacilli Gram-positive, filamentous micromycetes and yeasts. Correlating the biometric data of the fish with the physico-chemical and microbiological parameters of the water could suggest that both B. bjoerkna, an autochthonous species, and C. gibelio, an invasive species, show positive allometric growth in a less polluted environment, characterized by reduced organic load.
