AB  - This study was carried out at the Danube River and its tributaries during the Joint Danube
Survey 4 (JDS4) expedition. Three freshwater benthic species were used to estimate the quantity
of microplastics (MPs): Corbicula spp., Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri (Claparede, 1862), and Polypedilum
nubeculosum (Meigen, 1804). Following the kick and sweep technique, individuals were sampled using
a hand net or dredge. In order to estimate the number of MP particles/individual particles/g wet
body mass, the body mass and total length of all specimens were measured. Alkaline (Corbicula spp.
and L. hoffmaisteri) and enzymatic (P. nubeculosum) protocols were performed for tissue degradation.
All samples were filtered through glass microfiber filters (mesh size 0.5 μm). The particles were
photographed, measured, and counted. A total of 1904, 169, and 204 MPs were isolated from
Corbicula spp., L. hoffmaisteri, and P. nubeculosum, respectively. To confirm the chemical composition
of isolated MPs, a subsample of 46 particles of the fragmented particles from 14 sampling sites was
analysed via μ-ATR-FTIR spectroscopy analysis. The particles were characterised as polycarbonate
(PC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polypropylene–polyethylene copolymer (PP-PE), nylon
(polyamide-PA) and cellophane, with the domination of PET.

AB  - Procena ekološkog statusa velikih reka, kao što je Dunav, predstavlja izazovan zadatak u oblasti monitoringa rečnih sistema. Ksenobiotici, hazardne supstance antropogenog porekla, u koje spadaju pesticidi i policiklični aromatični ugljovodonici, predstavljaju ozbiljnu pretnju za vodene ekosisteme i značajno utiču na strukturu populacije makroinvertebrata. Razvijanje metodologije koja ima sposobnost da brzo i sa značajnom preciznošću prediktuje ekološki status rečnog sistema na osnovu koncentracionih nivoa ksenobiotika i strukture makroinvertebrata predstavlja značajan doprinos u oblasti inženjerstva zaštite životne sredine. U ovom radu su predstavljeni benefiti primene modela veštačkih neuronskih mreža (VNM) na podacima izdvojenih iz skupa podataka sakupljenih tokom trećeg Zajedničkog istraživanja Dunava u cilju precizne procene ekološkog statusa rečnog sistema na osnovu prisustva određenih ksenobiotika i makroinvertebrata. Struktura zajednice makroinvertebrata u rečnim sistemima predstavlja precizan biomarker sa potencijalom ranog pokazatelja hemijskog stresa. Primena in situ bioanalitičkih tehnika i biomarkera za procenu rizika pruža efikasnu strategiju za suočavanje sa ovim izazovom. Prema Okvirnoj Direktivi o vodama makroinvertebrate su zvanični biološki parametri za procenu ekološkog statusa rečnih sistema sa različitim odgovorima na hemijski stres. Koristeći modele veštačke inteligencije koji integriše napredne
arhitekture neuronskih mreža, kao što su četvoroslojni perceptron (engl. 4 Layer Perceptron), LSTM (engl. Long Short-term Memory) i Transformer neuronske mreže, postigli smo izuzetnu preciznost u određivanju ekološkog statusa reke Dunav interakcijom bioloških i hemijskih parametara. Koncentracioni nivoi ksenobiotika, pretežno klasifikovanih kao pesticidi, kao što su 2.4 – dinitrofenol, hloroksuron, bromacil, fluoranten i bentazon su u snažnoj korelaciji sa prisustvom određenih zajednica makroinvertebrata u slivu reke Dunav. Razvijeni modeli veštačkih neuronskih mreža, po jedan za svaki tip ksenobiotika, pokazali su veliku tačnost u proceni ekološkog statusa reke Dunav i pokazali se kao efikasni, ekonomični i održivi alati za predviđanje ekološkog statusa reka sa determinisanom strukturom makroinvertebrata. Na osnovu vrednosti srednje kvadratne greške, LSTM model veštačkih neuronskih mreža dao je najbolje performanse u proceni ekološkog statusa Dunava koristeći koncentracije 2.4 – dinitrofenola i bentazona, kao izlazne varijable, i strukturu zajednice makroinvertebrata kao ulazne varijable. Kombinovanjem koncentracionih nivoa 2.4 – dinitrofenola i fluorantena kao izlaznih varijabli, najbolje predikcione performanse dao je model četvoroslojni perceptron. U procesu modelovanja ekološkog statusa na osnovu detektovanih koncentracionih nivoa bromacila i fluorantena u odnosu na strukturu makroinvertebrata, najbolje predikcione performanse pokazao je model veštačkih neuronskih mreža Transformer tipa. Razvijeni modeli veštačkih neuronskih mreža imaju potencijal za primenu u proceni ekološkog statusa drugih lotičkih sistema, kao i u različitim kombinacijama ulaznih i izlaznih parametara koji zadovoljavaju već poznate zavisnosti bioloških i hemijskih parametara.

AB  - This paper aims to present indicative ecological status of the Ribnica River, a tributary to the Kolubara River, based on aquatic macroinvertebrate community. On 7 selected localities a total of 123 taxa were identified. These taxa belong to 14 taxonomic groups. Macroinvertebrate community was dominated by insect groups, mainly Diptera, Trtichoptera and Ephemeroptera, while other groups are less diverse and have lower abundance. Overall water quality was moderate or better with exception of the site located between Paštrić village and Mionica, which showed deterioration in all biological quality indices. This can be explained by the presence of numerous farms in the vicinity which have a negative impact on taxa richness and composition of macroinvertebrate community.

AB  - During the Joint Danube Survey 4 in 2019, we investigated plastic debris in Danube River, from Germany to the Black Sea (more than 2,000 km of the river stretch). The main aim of the study was to categorize and to quantify microplastic particles in living systems. Freshwater Asian clams Corbicula fluminea (Müller, 1774) was used as test organism. Individuals were collected from 23 sites using a hand net (ap. 25 cm× 25 cm, mesh size 500 μm). In order to isolate plastic particles, the samples were digested by alkaline method, using a KOH 10% solution and incubation at 65 ⁰C for 12 h. The digested samples were filtrated through a glass microfiber filters, with 0.5 µm mesh size. Collected particles were photographed and categorized based on the size and coloration. Particles were counted manually, photographed using Nikon SMZ 745T Stereomicroscope and measured in program ImageJ. In 216 examined specimens a total of 1,998 microplastic particles were isolated with an average of 5.59 ± 3.71 fibrils and 4.37 ± 2.46 fragments per organism; or 40.77 ± 73.75 fibrils and 25.84 ± 33.17 fragments per g body weight. Dominant microplastic particles were between 0.4 and 0.5 mm in diameter (characterized as medium-sized), with an average length 0.43 mm ± 0.26 in the Danube and 0.49 mm ± 0.26 in the tributaries. In order to confirm chemical composition of isolated microliter, 46 particles of the hard plastic from 14 sampling sites were analyzed using Nicolet iN10 Fourier transform infrared microscope with micro ATR accessory and cooled MCT detector, using 128 scans at resolution of 4 cm1 . Analyses revealed presence of five different types of polymers, with the domination of polyethylene-terephthalate.

AB  - The Belgrade area is characterised by a rich system of canals that play a role in drainage
and waste water removal. These canals are more or less exposed to various anthropogenic
influences. On the other hand, some of them flow through the sanitary protection zones of
the sources of Belgrade's water supply. To assess the potential of these aquatic ecosystems,
we analysed macroinvertebrates from eight canals around Belgrade. Samples were collected
during the high and low water periods in 2022. In the high water period 70 taxa were
detected and in the low water period 53 taxa. The highest species richness was found in the PKB, Viselj and Karaš canals during the period of high water and in the Galovica canal
during the period of low water. The Chironomidae group had the highest frequency. The
period of low water was characterised by a uniform occurrence of taxonomic groups, while
during the high water period a higher proportion of Crustacea, Oligochaeta and
Chironomidae was observed. The low water period was characterised by a higher
proportion of predators, while a greater diversity of functional feeding types were found
during the high water period. The biological parameters indicate the II class of water quality
in the Viselj and Karaš canals, which indicates the importance of regular cana maintenance.

AB  - The thick-shelled river mussel, Unio crassus Philipson, 1788, is considered to be one of the species with the highest conservation priority in Serbia. The study represents the first comprehensive research of the distribution of U. crassus in Serbian waters. The research covered a variety of waterbody types throughout Serbia, and distribution data were considered over three time periods from 1953 to 2019. The paper summarizes all the available literature data, field research and information obtained during the review of the collection of malacological material of the Natural History Museum in Belgrade. The results show a positive population trend, which is reflected in an extension of the distribution area and an increase in population density. After reviewing the museum collection, 13 synonyms for U. crassus were identified. The study also revealed a better insight into the habitat requirements and the limiting factors of the species. Substrate characteristics, waterbody types, altitude, and nitrate content of the water seem to be of great importance for the occurrence of the species. The results presented here can improve further measures for the conservation of U. crassus, not only in Serbia, but also in the Western Balkans.

AB  - The aim of this study is to present the principal features of macroinvertebrate fauna along Serbian stretch of the Danube River (588 km that belongs to middle and partly lower Danube) and its main tributaries, revealed as a part of the Joint Danube Survey 4 (JDS4). The research was carried out in 2019 at 12 locations (five at the Danube and seven at tributaries – the Tisa, Sava, Velika Morava and Timok Rivers). To collect confident information, different sampling techniques were used: Kick and Sweep, multihabitat sampling, Deep-Water Dredging and free diving for mussel collection. A total of 202 macroinvertebrate taxa were identified, with insects as the most diverse component (114 taxa), followed by Mollusca and Annelida (32 taxa each), and Crustacea (20 taxa). Among insects Diptera, family Chironomidae was the most diverse (65 species). In respect to abundance, Mollusca was found to be dominant group with share of 37.46% of the total community, followed by Annelida (25.04%), Crustacea (19.83%), and insects with 17.63%. Other groups were represented with less than 1% participation. As expected in fluvial type rivers, potamophilous species dominate in macroinvertebrate community. Active filter feeders and gatherers/collectors are principal components in respect to feeding preference in investigated rivers which is a typical situation for the river type. Our study revealed presence of rare and protected taxa such as Unio crassus Philipsson, 1788 and Theodoxus transversalis (Pfeiffer, 1828), but also presence of 22 alien taxa, of which 14 are characterized as invasive in this stretch. This result indicate that macroinvertebrate community is dynamic and that it deserves persistent screening.

AB  - The aim of this study was to identify taxa richness of benthic macroinvertebrates region of the Neretva River, which is under the potential impact of human activities. The "Neretva Science Week" study area is located in eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina and it covers the upper region of the Neretva River, between its confluence with the Krupa River and the city of Konjic. In the summer 2022, aquatic macroinvertebrates were collected from a total of nine sites: seven sites on the Neretva River and two on its tributary Krupa River. Kick and Sweep hand net sampling was performed following the EN 27828:1994 standard. In total, 101 taxa belonging to 13 taxonomic groups were recorded. Based on our results, Diptera and Ephemeroptera were most taxa rich (17 and 18 taxa, respectively) and most abundant taxa (with 27.19% and 34.79% of collected individuals, respectively), followed by Trichoptera (24 taxa; 12.98% of collected individuals) and Plecoptera (6 taxa, 15.95% of collected individuals) At the lower taxonomic level, the most abundant taxa were mayfly Ecdyonurus alpinus Hefti, Tomka & Zurwerra, 1987 and Simuliidae (Diptera) larvae. Overall, our results indicate high benthic macroinvertebrate taxa richness, and domination of insect orders that typically occur in mountain rivers, such as the upper reaches of the Neretva River. In order to preserve the pristine character of the river, as well as its biota, it is essential to maintain the near-natural state.

AB  - The Balkan Peninsula is a center of Europe’s biodiversity in respect to freshwater gastropods and many of recorded taxa are stenobionts of narrow distribution. This manuscript presents review of the freshwater gastropod fauna distribution in springs and small mountain streams of the Western Balkan and points to the main threats that influence the decline of diversity of this important group of aquatic organisms. The most significant threats to the diversity of freshwater gastropods in small streams and springs are habitat degradation (physical destruction of habitats due to mini hydropower plants construction, hydro-technical works related to flood protection, faulty forest management excavation of material), and water abstraction. Knowledge of a considerable number of Balkan gastropod species, underlines the importance for the long-term conservation of biodiversity in this part of Europe.

AB  - Plastic pollution is recognized as ubiquitous and different approaches have been used
to detect and evaluate effects on aquatic biota. Here, we present Asian clam Corbicula
fluminea (Müller, 1774) as a suitable model organism for detecting microplastic
pollution in freshwater ecosystems. The study was conducted on the Danube River and
its tributaries. Following the multi-habitat procedure, specimens were sampled using a
hand net (ap. 25 cm × 25 cm, mesh size 500 μm) sampling. Out of a total of 51 sampling
sites, C. fluminea was collected at 23 sites, whereas 15 sites were on the Danube and
8 sites on its tributaries. From each site 10 specimens were randomly selected. The
shell length, shell width, total weight and body weight were measured. The samples
were digested by alkaline method, using a KOH 10% solution and incubation at 65 ⁰C
for 12 h. Collected particles were photographed and assigned to one of 2 major
microplastic categories: fibers and fragments. Categories were divided in
subcategories based on the coloration of the particles. Particles were counted manually,
photographed and measured by the use of Nikon SMZ 745T Stereomicroscope. All
collected particles were measured in the program ImageJ. Microplastic particles were
detected in all samples of C. fluminea, on average 5.59 ± 3.71 fibrils and 4.37 ± 2.46
fragments per organism; or 40.77 ± 73.75 fibrils and 25.84 ± 33.17 fragments per g
body weight, 1998 in total. Medium-sized microplastic particles were dominant, with
an average length of 0.43 mm ± 0.26 in the Danube and 0.49 mm ± 0.26 in the
tributaries. Among fibers and fragments, blue fibers (81%) and transparent fragments
(42.8%) were dominant. In order to confirm chemical composition of isolated
microliter, 46 particles of the hard plastic from 14 sampling sites were analyzed with
micro- FTIR spectroscopy analysis. Analyzed particles were detected as polyethyleneterephthalate
and cellophane, most commonly.

First findings of this species for Hungary, Slovakia, Romania, Bulgaria and Serbia are presented. Clathrocaspia knipowitschii was initially found in 2013 in the Iron Gate stretch of the Danube River at the border between Romania and Serbia. In 2019 and 2020, the species was found at several sites in the lower Danube in Romania, Serbia and Bulgaria, and also upstream in the middle Hungarian Danube in high population densities. The species appears to have spread along more than 800 km in six years. This finding together with the available abundance data indicates that C. knipowitschii is potentially an invasive species, but further observations are needed.

AB  - Urban waters are often neglected in biodiversity research; nonetheless, the number of
aquatic microhabitats present in a city and the surrounding urban area is impressive. Twenty-two
waterbodies in the Belgrade functional urban area (FUA) were investigated for faunistic and diversity
patterns and to assess the effects of environmental factors on the differentiation of Chironomidae
assemblages. A total of 66 chironomid taxa within four subfamilies was identified. Water quality
at the studied sites, expressed by the water pollution index (WPI), varied significantly. K-means
clustering gave four homogenous groups of chironomid assemblages, which showed clear preferences
to specific habitat conditions and tolerance to anthropogenic pressures. These groups had high values
of alpha and beta diversity components. The main component of beta diversity was species turnover.
Waterbody type, water temperature, pH, nutrients and overall pollution were the most important
factors influencing the distribution and composition of chironomid assemblages, which revealed
clear preferences of each assemblage type to the category of waterbody type and tolerances to
environmental pressures.

AB  - Ovaj rad ukazuje na prednosti procene kvaliteta vode površinskih voda primenom Indeksa zagađenosti vode (WPI) koji može da uključi veliki broj različitih parametara (fizičke, hemijske, mikrobiološke i biološke). Interpretacija rezultata je često teška kada se analiziraju brojni elementi kvaliteta, jer svaki pojedinačno može ukazivati na različitu klasu kvaliteta, a procena se najčešće daje prema najlošijem rezultatu. WPI prevazilazi ovaj problem tako što daje jedinstvenenu ocenu i može se efikasno koristiti kao jedinica mere za ekološku procenu u skladu sa zahtevima Evropske direktive o vodama (WFD). Promenom ustaljene prakse i češćom upotrebom ovog indeksa obezbedio bi se sistem procene specifičan za tip vodotoka i stresor.
AB  - This paper points out the advantages of using the Water Pollution Index (WPI) in water quality assessment of surface waters, which can include a large number of different parameters (physical, chemical, microbiological and biological). It is often difficult to interpret the results when numerous quality elements are analyzed, because each of them can individually indicate a different quality class, and the assessment is usually given according to the least favorable result. The WPI overcomes this problem by providing a single assessment score that can be effectively used as a unit of measure for environmental assessment in accordance with the requirements of the European Water Framework Directive (WFD). More frequent use of this index could provide an assessment system specific to the watercourse type and stressor.

A total number of 116 taxa from 16 taxa groups were identified at 9 selected localities within the study area. The aquatic insects were the most dominant group in the benthic community in respect to taxa richness, while the rest of the community consisted of taxa groups with lower participation. General conclusion is that the degree of organic pollution of the surveyed streams is low and indicative ecological status of streams in the study area, based on aquatic macroinvertebrates community, could be assessed as good to moderate.

AB  - Microplastic (MP) pollution has attracted wide attention since the production and use of plastic materials has increased worldwide. However, there is a lack of information about MPs in freshwater ecosystems, given that they are less studied compared to marine ones. Fish species are of special interest since they are utilized in the human diet. Among various sources, synthetic textiles play a dominant role in microplastic emissions, especially in the form of short fibers. The aim of this study was to determine the occurrence of MPs in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of the freshwater fish species common bream (Abramis brama Linnaeus, 1758) from the Danube River (1169 river km) in the area of the city of Belgrade, Serbia (44° 49′ 54.48″ N, 20° 27′ 23.68″ E). A total of nine specimens were collected, and the whole GIT was removed. Digestion of organic content was performed with a combined alkaline-oxidative treatment (10% KOH and Triton X-100; 30% H2O2). Filtered samples were visually observed under a binocular microscope. A total number of 136 plastic particles were detected, all belonging to a class of fibers. The size of the particles varied from 0.5 mm to 50 mm. The obtained results are in accordance with previous studies that reported fibers as the dominant shape of MPs in fish. The given results represent a contribution to the research of the MPs' occurrence in freshwater species. However, there is a need for further studies involving other fish species.
AB  - Zagađenje mikroplastikom (MP) privuklo je široku pozornost budući da je proizvodnja i upotreba
plastičnih materijala porasla diljem svijeta. Međutim, nedostaju podaci o MP u slatkovodnim
ekosustavima, s obzirom na to da su oni manje proučavani u odnosu na morske. Riblje vrste su
od posebnog interesa jer se koriste u ljudskoj prehrani. Među različitim izvorima, sintetički tekstil
ima dominantnu ulogu u emisijama mikroplastike, posebno u obliku kratkih vlakana. Cilj ovog
istraživanja bio je utvrditi pojavu MPs u gastrointestinalnom traktu (GIT) slatkovodne vrste riba
deverika (Abramis brama Linnaeus, 1758) u Rijeci Dunav (1169 riječni kilometar) na području
Beograda, Srbija (44° 49ʹ 54.48ʺ N, 20° 27ʹ 23.68ʺ E). Ukupno je prikupljeno devet uzoraka, a
izvađen je cijeli GIT. Digestija organskog sadržaja provedena je kombiniranim alkalno-
oksidativnim tretmanom (10% KOH i Triton X-100; 30% H2O2). Filtrirani uzorci vizualno su
promatrani pod binokularnim mikroskopom. Otkriveno je ukupno 136 plastičnih čestica, koje sve
pripadaju klasi vlakana. Veličina čestica varira od 0,5 mm do 50 mm. Dobiveni rezultati su u
skladu s prijašnjim istraživanjima koja navode da su vlakna dominantni oblik MP-a u ribama.
Navedeni rezultati predstavljaju doprinos istraživanju prisutnosti MPs u slatkovodnim vrstama.
Međutim, postoji potreba za daljnjim studijama koje će uključivati i druge vrste riba.

The aim of this study was to determine the occurrence of MPs in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of the freshwater fish species common bream (Abramis brama Linnaeus, 1758) from the Danube River (1169 river km) in the area of the city of Belgrade, Serbia (44° 49′ 54.48″ N, 20° 27′ 23.68″ E). A total of nine specimens were collected, and the whole GIT was removed. Digestion of organic content was performed with a combined alkaline-oxidative treatment (10% KOH and Triton X-100; 30% H2O2). Filtered samples were visually observed under a binocular microscope. A total number of 136 plastic particles were detected, all belonging to a class of fibers. The size of the particles varied from 0.5 mm to 50 mm. The obtained results are in accordance with previous studies that reported fibers as the dominant shape of MPs in fish. The given results represent a contribution to the research of the MPs' occurrence in freshwater species. However, there is a need for further studies involving other fish species., Zagađenje mikroplastikom (MP) privuklo je široku pozornost budući da je proizvodnja i upotreba
plastičnih materijala porasla diljem svijeta. Međutim, nedostaju podaci o MP u slatkovodnim
ekosustavima, s obzirom na to da su oni manje proučavani u odnosu na morske. Riblje vrste su
od posebnog interesa jer se koriste u ljudskoj prehrani. Među različitim izvorima, sintetički tekstil
ima dominantnu ulogu u emisijama mikroplastike, posebno u obliku kratkih vlakana. Cilj ovog
istraživanja bio je utvrditi pojavu MPs u gastrointestinalnom traktu (GIT) slatkovodne vrste riba
deverika (Abramis brama Linnaeus, 1758) u Rijeci Dunav (1169 riječni kilometar) na području
Beograda, Srbija (44° 49ʹ 54.48ʺ N, 20° 27ʹ 23.68ʺ E). Ukupno je prikupljeno devet uzoraka, a
izvađen je cijeli GIT. Digestija organskog sadržaja provedena je kombiniranim alkalno-
oksidativnim tretmanom (10% KOH i Triton X-100; 30% H2O2). Filtrirani uzorci vizualno su
promatrani pod binokularnim mikroskopom. Otkriveno je ukupno 136 plastičnih čestica, koje sve
pripadaju klasi vlakana. Veličina čestica varira od 0,5 mm do 50 mm. Dobiveni rezultati su u
skladu s prijašnjim istraživanjima koja navode da su vlakna dominantni oblik MP-a u ribama.
Navedeni rezultati predstavljaju doprinos istraživanju prisutnosti MPs u slatkovodnim vrstama.
Međutim, postoji potreba za daljnjim studijama koje će uključivati i druge vrste riba.",

AB  - During the „Joint Danube Survey 4“ (JDS4) research program, performed in the first weeks of July 2019, Serbian national team carried out Multi-Habitat Sampling as a standardized WFD sampling method for the ecological status assessment (AQEM Consortium, 2002). Samples of aquatic macroinvertebrates were taken from 12 sites along Serbian stretch of the Danube River, 5 on the Danube River and 7 on its tributaries. Indicative Status Assessment (ISA) was performed using aquatic macroinvertebrates as bioindicators and taking into consideration community structure and composition. In total, 91 taxa belonging to 19 higher taxonomic groups were found, 57 of them were  found in the Danube River and 62 taxa in the tributaries. Main groups in the benthic community in respect to taxa richness were Annelida (40,78%), Mollusca (25,60%), Crustacea (16,80%) and Insecta (15,92%). The most abundant taxa were Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri Claparede, 1862 and Lithoglyphus naticoides (Pfeiffer, 1828). Selected metrics used for the ISA, according to national legislation, were obtained through ASTERICS software (AQEM, 2002). ISA of Serbian stretch of the Danube River and its tributaries, which belong to the large lowland rivers, could be assessed as moderate (class III) to bad status (class V). Based on bentic macroinvertebrates community, it is concluded that investigated localities are primarily under the influence of moderate organic pollution as well as various types of hydromorphological pressures.

AB  - The Balkan Peninsula is known as a biodiversity hotspot. This area is characterized by diverse climate, orographic and hydrological conditions which represent a good basis for the diversity of flora and fauna. The fauna of leeches (Hirudinea) is no exception. The majority of European species are recorded in this area, many of which are endemic to the Balkans. Contemporary studies have described several species new to the science, and a few subspecies have been risen to the species level after detailed investigation (Croatobranchus maestrovi, Dina krasensis, D. dinarica, D. minuoculata, D. sketi, D. prokletijaca, Trocheta dalmatina, Glossiphonia balcanica). The area of Dinaric Alps (Karst) with its springs, streams and glacial lakes are home to almost all of these newly described species but also other common European species. These habitats are under various anthropogenic pressure, springs are driven in to pipes for irrigation or for human use, and on many small rivers mini hydro-power plants are being built which further endanger these fragile habitats and animal communities that inhabit them. The Mediterranean medicinal leech (H. verbana) was exported in large numbers through history form the area of Balkan Peninsula to Western Europe for medicinal use. Today, species of medicinal leeches are under numerous international and national protection acts and its trade and commercial use is very limited or prohibited. The main threat is the destruction and deterioration of suitable habitats, mainly wetland areas, marshes and ponds in the flood zones of rivers.

AB  - The Balkan Peninsula is a vital part of Europe’s biodiversity in respect to freshwater gastropods and many of recorded taxa are stenobionts of narrow distribution. This chapter presents review of the freshwater gastropod fauna distribution in springs, small mountain streams (first order streams), and groundwaters of the Western Balkan and points to the main threats that influence the decline of diversity of this important group of aquatic organisms. Due to the complexity of the topic, small standing waters have not been considered here. The most significant threats to the diversity of freshwater gastropods in small streams are habitat degradation (physical destruction of habitats due to mini hydropower plants construction, hydro-technical works related to flood protection, faulty forest management excavation of material), and water abstraction. Knowledge of a considerable number of Balkan gastropod species, underlines the importance for the long-term conservation of biodiversity in this part of Europe.

AB  - The Danube is an outstanding river: It links more countries than any other river in the world. The Danube River Basin (DRB) collects waters from the territories of 19 European nations and it forms the international boundaries for eight of these. The river's largely eastward course has served as a corridor for both migration and trade, and a boundary between east and west strongly guarded for thousands of years. The multi-cultural setting makes transboundary issues extremely challenging. In this chapter we characterize and synthesize the natural features of the main river, its 10 major tributaries and the Danube Delta. We present extensive information and data on biodiversity, climate, topography and hydrology. We also describe in detail stressors like land use, sediment regime and (hydro-)morphology alteration, pollution, non-native species introduction or fragmentation by dams and also socio-economic properties. We reflect about their major, adverse consequences for the functioning of river ecosystems in the entire basin. We also introduce river basin authorities such as the International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River (ICPDR) identified as important and useful platforms for dialogue and debate of appropriate goals and their implementation, involvement of stakeholders and the public, but also as "translators" of scientific results.

Additionally, the chapter contains maps, photographs and data tables that allow in depth analyses of and comparison between physical and biological features of the Danube River Basin and other rivers in Europe.

AB  - Tokom 2019 god., u okviru JDS4 ekspedicije, po prvi put je sprovedeno istraživanje koje je obuhvatalo detekciju, kvantifikaciju i kategorizaciju čestica mikroplastike prisutnih u bioti slatkovodnih ekosistema. Istraživanje je sprovedeno duž 2040 rkm Dunava i većih pritoka, od Nemačke do Crnog mora. Alohtona vrsta Corbicula fluminea (Muller, 1774) korišćena je kao model organizam za analizu čestica mikroplastike. Ukupno je prikupljeno 216 jedinki sa 23 lokaliteta. Sakupljene čestice su fotografisane, izmerene, prebrojane i klasifikovane u jednu od 5 glavnih kategorija mikroplastike: vlakna, tvrda plastika, najlon, guma ili ostalo, u rasponu veličina od 0,02 do 4,67 mm. Ukupno je prikupljeno 1998 čestica mikroplastike sa prosečno 9,25 čestica po organizmu ili 26,4 čestica g-1 vlažne telesne težine školjke. Na osnovu analize mikroFTIR spektroskopije, čestice su okarakterisane kao polikarbonat,
polietilen tereftalat (PET), polipropilen-polietilen kopolimer, najlon (poliamid-PA) i celofan, sa dominacijom PET-a, koji se koristi za proizvodnju plastičnih boca. Studija mikroplastike JDS4 u bioti dala je prve informacije o plastičnim česticama prisutnih u bioti, što ukazuje na značajan pritisak plastikom duž reke Dunav.
AB  - During 2019, within the JDS4 expedition, for the first time, research was conducted that included the detection, quantification and categorization of microplastic particles present in the biota of freshwater ecosystems. The research was conducted along 2040 km of the Danube and larger tributaries, from Germany to the Black Sea. The allochthonous species Corbicula fluminea (Muller, 1774) was used as a model organism for the analysis of microplastic particles. A total of 216 individuals from 23 localities were collected. The collected particles were photographed, measured, counted and classified into one of the 5 main categories of microplastics: fibers, hard plastics, nylon, rubber or other, ranging in size from 0.02 to 4.67 mm. A total of 1998 microplastic particles were collected with an average of 9.25 particles per organism or 26.4 particles of g-1 wet shell body weight. Based on microFTIR spectroscopy analysis, the particles were characterized as polycarbonate, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polypropylene-polyethylene copolymer, nylon (polyamide-PA) and cellophane, with a predominance of PET, which is used to produce plastic bottles. The study of JDS4 microplastics in biota provided the first information on plastic particles present in biota, which indicates an plastic pollution along the Danube River.

AB  - Benthic communities contain some of the most threatened organisms in aquatic habitats due to different anthropogenic pressures. The high abundance of microplastics in sediments will continue to increase in the future, further increasing the probability of interactions between macroinvertebrates and microplastics. In the present study, a benthic community in a relatively pristine shallow pond was exposed either to an environmentally relevant high concentration of a microplastic mixture of 80 g m-2 in the sediment, or a control sediment, without the addition of microplastics. The mixture of microplastics contained irregularly shaped polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, and polyamide in a ratio of 50:25:25%, respectively. The in situ experiment lasted for 100 d. The total number of taxa that colonized the microcosms was 22 (17 in the control and 18 in the microplastic treatment), and the colonization was not affected by the treatment. The most dominant group within the macroinvertebrate community was the dipteran family Chironomidae, in both the control and the microplastic treatment. No significant differences in the abundance and biomass at a community level were recorded between the groups by permutational multivariate analysis of variance (F = 0.993, p = 0.456 and F = 0.344, p = 0.797, respectively). The mixture of microplastics did not influence the abundance or biomass of the functional feeding groups (F = 1.810, p = 0.137 and F = 0.377, p = 0.736, respectively). The species richness, species abundance, species biomass, Shannon's diversity index, and Simpson's index of diversity showed no statistically significant differences between the control and treatment groups. Czekanowski's quantitative similarity index indicated that 84% of the community remained unaffected after microplastic exposure. Environ Toxicol Chem 2021;00:1-8. © 2021 SETAC.

AB  - The study was conducted on the Danube River, within the project Joint Danube Survey 3 (JDS3). The main aim was to estimate the quantity of microplastics in aquatic ecosystems through passive biological monitoring. Three freshwater species were used for microplastic (MP) isolation from different taxonomic groups of organisms: Mollusca, Oligochaeta, and Chironomidae (Diptera), with the following species: Lithoglyphus naticoides (C. Pfeiffer, 1828), Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri (Claparede, 1862), and Chironomus acutiventris (Wülker, Ryser & Scholl, 1983), respectively. The samples were collected from 6 sites along the Danube River where 540 specimens were examined. The samples were digested by alkaline method (incubation in 10% KOH solution at 60 ⁰C for 24 h) and filtered through a mill silk, 10 μm mesh size. Collected particles were categorized as: fibre, hard plastic, nylon, rubber, or miscellaneous. Categories were divided into subcategories based on the coloration of the particles. Particles ingested by organisms were represented mostly by fibres and fragmented hard plastics, within the size range were from 0.03 to
4.87 mm. A total of 678 MP particles were collected with an average of 4.64 ± 1.59; 1.64 ± 0.46 and 1.24 ± 0.34 items/organism isolated from L. hoffmeisteri, L. naticoides and C. acutiventris, respectively. According to results, L. hoffmeisteri, L. naticoides and C. acutiventris could be used as proper bioaccumulators of MP pollution in the Danube River.
