The degree of universality of this index is not well understood yet. The purpose of this work is to present the results of a literature data re-analysis of HSI for brown trout and demonstrate the existence of a universal level of similarity in the ranges of hydraulic variables for the considered species.Assessing the universality of Habitat Suitability Indexes (HSI) for brown trout (Salmo trutta L.)
