Tributaries

Cem has two tributaries: Cem of Vukël (Cemi i Vuklit) and Cem of Selcë (Cemi i Selcës). Cem of Vukël is the main tributary in terms of water flow.


There live 22 species of fish in the river including endemic marble trout and eel.[1] There is also a variety of amphibians and reptiles.

In some places there are small hydroelectric power plants, and more are planned. The water from the Cem is also used for irrigation use. While in the Albanian section the water quality is good, the river's ecosystem is threatened by waste and sewage as well as extraction of gravel and sand in the lower section.
