AB  - Over the last 14 years, ichthyological and ecological parameters have been monitored in
the Labudovo okno Ramsar site. This area is important for its biodiversity as it is home to many
rare and endangered plants and animal species. A total of 3861 fish specimens were sampled and
measured at six sampling sites four times during the sampling period. An analysis of biodiversity
indexes, relative biomass (kg/ha), and relative annual production (kg/ha) was carried out to assess
the effectiveness of existing conservation measures. The results obtained show a trend decline in
biodiversity, relative biomass, and relative annual production. This indicates a biodiversity conservation
problem that should be addressed through other mechanisms in addition to the principles of the
Ramsar Convention.

AB  - The aim of the present study was to determine the current status of the fish community structure and
composition in the Ribnica River. The Ribnica River, a tributary of the Kolubara River, is classified as
a Type 3 watercourse according to the current national regulations. A total of 347 fish specimens
were collected and analysed, and seven fish species were identified. Over 60% of the fish community
consists of the species Barbus balcanicus and Alburnoides bipunctatus, and the community has high
diversity and Evenness. The conservation status of the present fish species was also reviewed, and
three identified fish species are protected by national and international regulations. The occurrence of
Sabanejewia balcanica is very interesting. This fish species is strictly protected by national legislation
as well as by the Bern Convention (Annex III) and the Habitats Directive (Annex II). With the
presented study results we would like to point out the importance and conservation of these types of
watercourses. As a result of anthropogenic pressures, potential impacts in the form of habitat
alteration and degradation are expected, which may lead to threats to local fish populations.

AB  - Salmonids are an extensively hatchery-reared group of fishes that have been introduced worldwide mainly for their high commercial and recreational value. The Balkan Peninsula (south-eastern Europe) is characterised by an outstanding salmonid diversity that has become threatened by the introduction of non-native salmonids whose potential risk of invasiveness in the region remains unknown and especially so under predicted climate change conditions. In this study, 13 extant and four horizon non-native salmonid species were screened for their risk of invasiveness in the Danube and Adriatic basins of four Balkan countries. Overall, six (35%) of the screened species were ranked as carrying a high risk of invasiveness under current climate conditions, whereas under predicted conditions of global warming, this number decreased to three (17%). Under current climate conditions, the very high risk (‘top invasive’) species were rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss and brown trout Salmo trutta ( sensu stricto ), whereas under predicted climate change, this was true only of O. mykiss . A high risk was also attributed to horizon vendace Coregonus albula and lake charr Salvelinus namaycush , and to extant Atlantic salmon Salmo salar and brook trout Salvelinus fontinalis , whose risk of invasiveness, except for S. fontinalis , decreased to medium. For the other eleven medium-risk species, the risk score decreased under predicted climate change, but still remained medium. The outcomes of this study reveal that global warming will influence salmonids and that only species with wider temperature tolerance, such as O. mykiss will likely prevail. It is anticipated that the present results may contribute to the implementation of appropriate management plans to prevent the introduction and translocation of non-native salmonids across the Balkan Peninsula. Additionally, adequate measures should be developed for aquaculture facilities to prevent escapees of non-native salmonids with a high risk of invasiveness, especially into recipient areas of high conservation value.

AB  - Small run-of-river hydropower plants (RRHPs) have revealed strong harmful effects worldwide on stream habitats (e.g., fragmentation and destruction) and decreased fish species, especially anadromous species abundance. Recently, RRHPs have rapidly been installed in Serbia. Most were installed on montane streams because their steep slopes are most convenient for hydropower energy production at minimal costs. Brown trout Salmo trutta are prominent in the fish communities of this rarest type of aquatic ecosystems. Their native molecular diversity reflects a biodiversity hotspot in the Balkans, and they provide attractive fishing opportunities. Records from fishery management plans for highland stream fisheries where RRHPs were installed revealed reduced brown trout biomass compared with streams without RRHPs. Research on six streams with operational RRHPs revealed severe deterioration of habitat, for example, increased water temperature, reduced dissolved oxygen, and increased nutrient contents. Effects on fish communities were evident from a change in their structure. Resident, stream-dwelling brown trout were the most affected species with steep declines in abundance, biomass, and productivity. Fragmentation owing to damming was also reflected by deterioration of their age structure. Unique native brown trout stocks susceptible to adverse effects are difficult to restore by stocking, and fish passages commonly supplied as compensation to overcome the disruption of habitats cannot mitigate the threat posed to the fish.

AB  - Brown trout Salmo trutta and Macedonian trout Salmo macedonicus molecular diversity in the streams draining on the southern slopes of the Stara Planina Mts. was assessed from mitochondrial DNA control region (CR) extracted from fin clip samples collected during the last ten years. It revealed an occurrence of seven haplotypes from three phylogeographic lineages (Danubian, Adriatic and Atlantic) in total. Only the two haplotypes, Da1a and Da-s6, can be inferred for certain as the native ones, owing to their occurrence in the headwaters of streams hitherto void of introgression of brown trout from downstream sections, due to unsurmountable waterfalls. The conservation status of brown trout that have the very common Da22 haplotype is not certain yet. They are very abundant in streams that were subject to massive stockings in the last ten years, occurring both in the headwaters and in the downstream sections, without the physical barrier between them. The rest of haplotypes belong either to the Atlantic or Adriatic haplogroups and they are most likely non-native in this area.

analysis of gastric content of the pumpkinseed individuals of the lentic ecosystem show the
preference towards the most accessible prey at the investigated localities. In lotic ecosystems,
larger prey was observed in the gastric content of the pumpkinseed, allthough smaller taxa,
such as Oligochaeta, were dominant in macroinvertebrate samples of the analyzed localities.

AB  - The diversity of native trout fish Salmo spp. comprises a variety of nominal taxa in Serbia, Montenegro, and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Recent mapping of the resident trout populations detected the presence of brown trout Salmo trutta (sensu stricto) of the Atlantic (AT) mtDNA lineage introduced into populations of both tentative Danubian trout Salmo labrax and of tentative Adriatic trout Salmo farioides belonging to the Danubian (DA) and Adriatic (AD) mtDNA lineages, respectively. Introduction of the tentative Macedonian trout Salmo macedonicus of the AD lineage was also detected in a native population of the tentative S. labrax. In almost all recipient nonmigratory trout populations, a cross-breeding between native and introduced trout was detected by heterozygosity in either only the LDH-C nuclear locus or the LDH-C and specific microsatellite loci. The only exception was a population where both resident and migratory, lake-dwelling individuals of the tentative Adriatic trout spawned in a downstream section of a stream in Montenegro, as no microsatellite alleles of Atlantic brown trout that had been introduced upstream were detected. The occurrence of cross-breeding between Adriatic and brown trout was evident in the isolated, upstream section. It appears that migrating, lake-dwelling Adriatic trout in combination with their resident, stream-dwelling conspecifics suppress the introgression of genes from those situated upstream. In this regard, consideration should be given to the occurrence of the migratory brown trout in the Danube River at the broader Iron Gate Gorge area. They migrate in late summer and early fall from the Iron Gate One reservoir to the lower sections of tributaries devoid of any trout fish. However, some of these streams house very special native trout of the DA lineage in their short-extending upper sections. These native trout populations are, so far, still out of contact with the reservoir-dwelling trout. However, given the resilience of trout and their migratory life history, the outcome of this introduction could be deleterious for those native fish that are very precious in the conservation sense.

AB  - As data on the distribution of freshwater sponges (Porifera, Demospongiae, Spongillida) in Serbia are extremely scarce, we investigated the main Serbian rivers and lakes with respect to Porifera occurrence, for which 17 lotic and 11 lentic water bodies were selected. Sponges were found in 11 of 17 rivers (62 specimens in total) and in 3 of 11 lakes/reservoirs (seven specimens in total). Classical morphological spicule analysis was coupled with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and gene sequencing for species identification. Among the 69 collected speci- mens, five sponge species of the family Spongillidae have been identified: Ephydatia fluviatilis (Linnaeus, 1759), Spongilla lacustris (Linnaeus, 1759), Ephydatia muelleri (Lieberkühn, 1856), Trochospongilla horrida Weltner, 1893, and Eunapius fragilis (Leidy, 1851). The most frequently found sponge in Serbian rivers was E. fluviatilis (45% of all specimens), while the least frequent was E. fragilis (6 % of all specimens). The Tisa river has the highest sponge diversity (four species). In lentic water bodies, only E. fluviatilis (four specimens) and S. lacustris (three specimens) were found. In general, sponges were infrequent and their abundance was low in Serbian fresh waters. While sponges seem to tolerate significant variations of physical and chemical parameters, some optimal values can be established.

AB  - This study is the result of extensive investigations of leeches on the Balkan Peninsula. Our aim was to detect actual and potential (modeled) distributions of common Erpobdellidae species, and to identify their ecological differentiation with respect to the altitudinal and waterbody type gradient. Although widespread, these species rarely live together. Intense competition is avoided by preferences for different types of habitats. This was confirmed by Pearson correlation analyses that yielded negative results. Differentiation of these species was clarified by the results of logistic Gaussian regression analyses. While Erpobdella octoculata and Dina lineata have a similar distribution along the altitudinal gradient, they prefer different waterbody types. Erpobdella vilnensis prefers higher altitudes than the other two species. Its preferred habitats are smaller rivers and streams located at altitudes from 400 to 1000 m a.s.l. Although present in all waterbody types, large lowland rivers and standing waterbodies are the preferred habitats of E. octoculata. Fast-flowing springs and streams are mostly inhabited by D. lineata. While the distribution of the species overlaps to a large degree, the ecological preferences of species differ significantly and thus they can be used as confident typological descriptors and indicators of ecological status.

AB  - The aim of this study was to reveal faunistic and diversity patterns and to assess the effects of environmental factors on the differentiation of leech communities. This study covers investigations of 82 karst springs in Montenegro from 2009–2017. The communities were analyzed in respect to five wellspring types – caves, sublacustrine, limnocrene, rheo-limnocrene and rheocrene. The percentage of substrate types and aquatic vegetation cover was recorded alongside water parameters. In total, 18 leech species were identified, of which two were recently described as new species for science ( Dina minuoculata Grosser, Moritz and Pešić, 2007 and Glossiphonia balcanica Grosser and Pešić, 2016). K -means clustering was used to classify leech assemblages into three homogenous groups. The patterns of leech communities and the components of both alpha and beta diversity were examined in identified groups of assemblages. The significance of environmental factors and the impact of selected factors were assessed through forward selection analysis, CCA and RDA. Our results indicate that the type of spring and the environmental variables, as well as the combination of biotic and abiotic factors in a microhabitat dictate the distribution of leeches.

abstract = "U radu su prikazani rezultati istraživanja crevnih parazita i crevnog sadržaja (ishrane) komercijalno značajnih vrsta riba Dunava u beogradskom sektoru. U tom cilju je urađena identifikacija i prikazan je spisak crevnih parazita, kao i identifikacija organizama makrobeskičmenjaka iz crevnog sadržaja. Tokom istraživanja pregledeno je ukupno 39 jedinki sedam vrsai riba (Silurus glanis, Sander lucioperca, Cyprinus carpio, Esox lucius, Lota lota, Zingel zingel, Hypophthalmichthys molitrix). Pregledom crevnog trakta riba, utvrđeno je da je parazitima zaražena 21 jedinka, odnosno 53,85%. Paraziti nisu nađeni u jedinki šarana. U crevnom sadržaju sakupljenih jedinki riba identifikovani su predstavnici faune dna, pripadnici različitih grupa, u različitom broju i odnosu (Bivalvia, Gastropoda, Amphipoda, Gammarida, Oligochaeta, Insecta). Mnogi od predstavnika faune dna su prelazni domaćini u životnom ciklusu unutrašnjih parazita.",

AB  - In this review data on parasitofauna of allochthonous fish species in the Danube River Basin in Serbia is presented. Up to now, 33 ecto-and endoparasites of seven examined allochthonous invasive fish species have been reported. Some of the identified parasitic species are new for fish parasitofauna in the Serbian waters (Trichodina nobilis, Balantidium sp., Philometroides cyprini, Philometroides parasiluri, Eustrongylides sp., Ergasilus sieboldi, Lernaea cyprinacea, Sinergasilus polycolpus). In the open waters of Serbia (the Danube River Basin) a total of 26 non-indigenous fish species were recorded, of which 16 were the allochthonous invasive fishes. The major means of introductions and translocations were found to be the aquaculture, fish stocking and transportation. Habitat modification was found to be the factor that largely contributes to the capability of the water bodies to become a suitable recipient area. The large presence of alien fish species (27.66%) and its parasites creates a serious threat to the stability of freshwater ecosystems and the survival of the native ichthyofauna. The main environmental consequences of alien fish spreading are related to the alteration in fish community structure and function, as well as the introduction of the alien parasite species.

AB  - The objective of this study is to provide an indicative ecological status assessment of the Velika Morava
River, based on aquatic macroinvertebrates. Eight metrics were used for this evaluation – Saprobic Index
(SI), Biological Monitoring Working Party (BMWP) score, Average Score Per Taxon (ASPT), Number of
Ephemeroptera, Plecotera, Trichoptera (EPT) taxa, percentage participation of Oligochaeta in the total
macroinvertebrate community (%-Oligochaeta), total number of taxa, number of genera, and number of
families. A total of 84 taxa have been identified. Based on analyses of the selected metrics, the indicative
status of the Velika Morava River could be assessed as moderate to poor (Class III-IV), which corresponds to the water quality assessment based on the evaluation provided by national water quality monitoring for the 1999-2008 period. There is still a need for system improvement, which will be the topic of further research.
