Abstract: A recent approach to cluster rivers into macrohabitat types according to their expected fish community offers a reference benchmark in form of expected quantitative habitat structure for European rivers. For two alpine rivers in Austria, mountain river in Ireland, lowland river in Poland, and Mediterranean river in Spain, habitat distributions have been assessed using the MesoHABSIM model. High similarity between the observed habitat structure and the habitat structure defined for these macrohabitat regions could be observed.
