AB  - This study was carried out to identify the relations between macroinvertebrate communities and river basin specific (RBS) pollutants in the Danube River. The investigation was performed at 68 sites along 2,500 km of the Danube. Forward selection (FS), canonical correspondence analyses (CCA), the Spearman correlation coefficient (SC) and BIO-ENV analysis (to detect synergistic effects) were used to identify the relations between the macroinvertebrate dataset and selected biological metrics with RBS pollutants. Of the 20 analysed pollutants (preselected based on NORMAN network methodology), seven (2,4-dinitrophenol, chloroxuron, bromacil, dimefuron, amoxicillin, bentazon and fluoranthene) were found to significantly correlate with macroinvertebrate communities. BIO-ENV analysis revealed 3 subsets of environmental variables that were in high correlation with the biota resemblance matrix, consisting mainly of a combination of the above-mentioned pollutants. Our results indicate that there are significant correlations between chemical determinants and aquatic biota. Moreover, this study contributes to the validation of the methodology used for prioritization of RBS pollutants proposed by the NORMAN network.

AB  - This paper discusses the use of different methods (multihabitat - MSH, Kick & Sweep 
method, Air lift sampling, multcorer, Van Veen grab, dredging) for aquatic 
macroinvertebrates sampling. Material was collected from the Danube River as a part of the 
three research programs: Joint Danube Survey 2, performed in period August-September 
2007 from Regensburg to Danube delta (96 sampling sites), Joint Danube Survey 3, 
performed in period August-September 2007 (68 sites) and national monitoring program 
performed in period September-November 2014 along Serbian stretch of the Danube River 
(12 sites). The aim of the study was to contribute to the standardization of the sampling 
procedures for the large lowland rivers. We tested the effectiveness of sampling methods in 
respect to macroinvertebrate taxa richness and metrics typically used for ecological status 
assessment. The selection of sampling approach is also discussed in relation to objectives of 
the survey – e.g. research, or routine monitoring, as well in respect to target taxa. Based on 
the our results we concluded that it is necessary to employ more than one sampling 
technique and to cover all available regions of large rivers, including the deeper parts in the 
case of research programs. For the routine monitoring we recommend to use standardized 
K&S method. Studies of the specific group of organisms require detailed monitoring of 
available habitats, and use of additional sampling methods (e.g. mussels or crayfish studies).

abundance of Trichoptera, Diptera, Oligochaeta, Crustacea and Odonata, as well as abundance 
of Gastropoda and total number of taxa. To find synergistic influence of RBS pollutants on 
biota, BIO-ENV analysis was performed and reviled that 3 subsets of environmental variables 
were highly correlated with biota resemblance matrix, covering combination of same 
parameters singled out by FA.

AB  - In this study we assessed the level of genotoxic pollution along the Danube River by measuring the level of DNA damage in the haemocytes of freshwater mussels of Unio sp. (Unio pictorum/Unio tumidus) and Sinanodonta woodiana. The comet assay was used for the assessment of DNA damage. The research was performed on 34 out of 68 sites analysed within the Joint Danube Survey 3 - the world's biggest river research expedition of its kind in 2013. During research, 2285 river kilometres were covered with an average distance of 68km between the sites. The complex data set on concentrations of various substances present in water, suspended particulate matter and sediment on investigated sites gave the opportunity to identify the groups of xenobiotics which mostly affect the studied biomarker - DNA damage. The highest levels of DNA damage were recorded in the section VI (Panonnian Plain), which is under the impact of untreated wastewater discharges. Both positive and negative influences of the large tributaries on the level of genotoxicity in the Danube River were evident. Significant correlation in response was detected between the studied species of freshwater mussels. The level of DNA damage in mussels correlated with concentrations of compounds from the group of hazardous priority substances (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons), persistent organic pollutants (dioxins) and emerging pollutants (Oxazepam, Chloridazon-desphenyl).
