AB  - The karstic Una River is one of the larger tributaries of the Sava River. Although being a
part of Balkan biodiversity hot-spot, aquatic macroinvertebrates of the Una are rarely studied. The
aquatic macroinvertebrates sampling was performed in the summer of 2015 throughout the upper
river stretch covering the Una and its tributaries situated in the Una National Park (Una NP). A rich
community consisting of 130 macroinvertebrate taxa, with dominance of Trichoptera and
Ephemeroptera, was detected. A snail  Sadleriana  sp. and endemic gammarid  Echinogammarus
acarinatus were found to be dominant taxa in terms of percentage participation and frequency of
occurrence. Mollusca and Crustacea were found to be the most abundant groups, with higher
abundance in the Una River than its tributaries. Although a higher overall taxa richness was found
in tributaries, calculated biotic indices and evenness pointed to greater diversity in the Una River.
Additionally, BMWP and ASPT scores were also higher in the Una River than its tributaries.
Calculated Jaccard index value pointed to moderate faunistic similarity between investigated
communities. Obtained results suggest that investigated upper stretch of the Una River harbours a
high diversity and rather homogenous macroinvertebrate community.

AB  - The investigation of fish parasites in Bosnia and Herzegovina in recent years became significant, and therefore new records of parasitic trematodes and their hosts are important for better understanding of fish parasitology and pathology. In this study 41 parasitic specimens were collected and the basic taxonomical characters were measured (body length and width, diameter of oral and ventral sucker, length and width of pharynx, ovary length and width, testes length and width and eggs length and width). After the sampling of the parasites, they were collected and conserved in 70% ethanol. After that procedure the aforementioned characters were measured using Digimizer Image Analyzer Version 4.1. After all measurements, the trematode parasite Azygia robusta was confirmed for the first time on brown trout Salmo trutta . This first record was found in the Vrbas River near Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina (Sava River Basin). Former records of this parasite in Europe were observed on other salmonid fish species, as huchen Hucho hucho . This new record should be very important part of data of fish parasitology in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
