Thymallus thymallus is considered a species of significant protective importance within the Vişeu Watershed. The state of habitats characteristically inhabited by Thymallus thymallus within the Maramureş Mountains Nature Park is balanced between reduced (one third of the lotic sectors where the species was identified), average (one third) and good (one third). The excellent conservation status is currently missing for populations of this fish in the Vișeu Basin.Human impact types identified as contributing towards the decreasing state of Thymallus thymallus habitats and therefore populations in the studied area in comparison with its natural potential are: poaching, minor riverbeds morphodynamic changings, solid and liquid natural flow changes, destruction of riparian trees and bush vegetation, habitat fragmentation/isolation of population, organic and mining pollution, and displaced fish that are washed away during flood periods in the lotic sectors uniformized by humans.
