Kessler's gudgeon belongs to critically endangered species protected by both national and European legislation. We present the first findings concerning the genetic diversity of 5 R. kesslerii populations from the Czech and Slovak rivers. On the basis of sequencing of the control region, as well as of the first intron of the S7 r-protein, 30 specimens were analysed. Altogether nine haplotypes were identified. Analyses of mtDNA showed the existence of two groups differing by 6.2%. The first group included the specimens from the rivers Bečva and Ipel and the second group included the specimens from the rivers Topl’á, Laborec and Morava. The inter-population diversity was 0.4% within the first group and it ranged from 0.5% to 1.0% within the second group. The combination of the methods of sequencing of parts of mtDNA and nDNA and allozyme analysis revealed the presence of hybrids of G. gobio and R. kesslerii in the Morava and Ipel’ rivers.
