AB  - The aim of the study was to test the significance of the EPT index in the water quality assessment of three types of water bodies in hilly and mountainous region of Serbia. The aquatic macroinver-tebrate community was dominated by the group of insects, of which 95 taxa represent the EPT group. We compared the obtained values of biological indices used for the assessment of water quality according to the national legislation with the overall status assessment represented by the ecological quality classes (EQC). The results of the Spearman correlation test showed a negative correlation of EQC with the EPT index, BMWP score, H', total number of taxa and number of sen-sitive taxa, while a positive correlation was observed for the values of SI and Tubificinae %. The values of EQC and biological indices were subjected to principal component analysis (PCA). The results showed that the parameters that contributed most to the differences were the EPT index, the BMWP score and the number of sensitive taxa. The results indicate that the EPT index is an excellent indicator of changes in water quality and an important tool for the ecological categoriza-tion of water bodies in mountain regions.

AB  - The brown trout is a valuable species for recreational fishing and its diet is of great interest. It feeds on 
various aquatic invertebrates, but also consumes terrestrial prey, whose contribution is often unjustly 
underestimated. The importance of terrestrial prey in diets of two trout populations was assessed at two 
sites (April-October) with different quantity of available aquatic prey (Site 1 high, Site 2 low quantity). 
Four indices of importance were used: frequency of occurrence (FO), number of prey items (AN), weight 
(AW), and index of relative importance (IRI). Preference for terrestrial prey was also estimated based on 
the electivity index (EI), where the availability of aquatic and terrestrial prey was expressed as their 
percentage in the drift samples.
Significantly less terrestrial prey was available at Site 1 (0.39% ± 0.57%) in contrast to Site 2 (13.21% ± 
10.38%), terrestrial prey was significantly more abundant in the trout diet than in the drift samples at 
both sites (t test). The EI was positive for terrestrial prey, additionally FO showed that this prey was 
present in 36% ± 16.65% (site 1) and in 87.55% ± 8.94% individuals (site 2), indicating a high preference for 
this type of prey. The importance (IRI) of terrestrial prey was higher than expected at Site 1 (1.39% ± 
1.53%; maximum 4.7% in September) and high at Site 2 (58.6% ± 23.56%; maximum 84.67% in 
September). Terrestrial prey became more present in the drift and more important in the diet toward the 
end of the study period, while the importance of aquatic prey decreased based on all four indices at both 
sites. The correlation between the increasing importance of terrestrial prey (AN, IRI) in the diet and the 
presence of aquatic prey in the drift (%) towards the end of the season was not significant (Pearson). Thus, 
the positive trend in the importance of terrestrial prey may be due to their increasing availability and 
simultaneous decline of large prey in the aquatic community due to the emergence of adults.
Terrestrial prey is generally larger (i.e., yielding more energy) than most aquatic prey and easily captured 
due to its low mobility in the aquatic environment. In the habitat with low availability of aquatic prey, 
terrestrial prey played an important role in brown trout diet. In addition, brown trout also preferred it in 
the habitat rich in aquatic prey. This study shows that terrestrial prey is significant brown trout feeding 
resource regardless of its general availability in the environment.

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  - 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  - Fish production is a direct measure of habitat quality. Physical characteristics of the habitat, as well as the quality and quantity of available food, can promote or slow the fish growth. Brown trout populations were monitored from April to October (2015) at three study sites with different habitat characteristics. Brown trout growth parameters (biomass, production, overall growth quality) and environmental parameters (water conductivity, suspended particles, prey biomass, prey diversity, pH, dissolved oxygen, etc.) were correlated to examine their relationship (CCA). One of the sites (Belosavac), the most productive, had high conductivity and was rich in prey, with domination of Gammaridae, but with low prey diversity and evenness. The other two sites (Rasina and Lomnica) had higher prey diversity and evenness but significantly lower prey abundance, with one of the two sites (Lomnica) having very low water conductivity and suspended particles concentration and the lowest prey abundance. High brown trout biomass and production were found to be positively correlated with high water conductivity, amount of suspended particles, prey abundance and diversity. Overall growth quality was negatively correlated with high prey diversity and evenness found at a site with very low prey abundance. According to this study, high water conductivity, as found in calcareous streams, promotes high prey production and consequently high trout production, while high prey diversity does not positively affect trout production when its abundance is low.

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.

Ciljevi studije bili su ispitati sezonsku dinamiku ishrane potočne pastrmke na tri pastrmska vodotoka različitih karakteristika, razlike u rastu i produkciji pastrmke i njihovu korelaciju sa karakteristikama staništa, kao i značajnost i selektivnost različitih vrsta plena u ishrani pastrmke, gde je selektivnost tokom sezone izražena Electivity indeksom, kako bi se dala preporuka za uspešan pristup ribolovu na ovu vrstu na različitim tipovima staništa.
Karakteristike staništa važne za izbor načina ribolova su geologija područja, abundanca i diverzitet plena, bogatstvo drifta i doba godine. Visoka provodljivost vode ima pozitivan uticaj na produkciju plena, a samim tim i produkciju pastrmke. Najzastupljeniji plen na staništu obično je negativno selekcionisan, osim na početku i/ili na kraju sezone kada je drugi plen manje dostupan. Za redak plen postoji pozitivna selekcija pa bi imitacije takvog plena mogle biti uspešnije. Imitacije bentosnog plena treba birati u skladu sa abundancom i sezonskom dinamikom, a različite imitacije terestričnog plena koristiti pred kraj sezone jer je tada izrazito pozitivno selekcionisan.
Pastrmka brzo reaguje na promene u dostupnosti plena, ali je moguće predvideti koja će imitacija biti uspešna na osnovu karakteristika staništa i sezonske dinamike. Na staništima sa manjom abundancom ali visokim diverzitetom plena moguć je uspešan ribolov sa raznovrsnim imitacijama, dok će selektivnost biti izraženija na plenom bogatim staništima.

AB  - Brown trout is a valuable species in recreational fishing, hence the persistant interest in its feeding behavior. It is a visual predator, that feeds on aquatic and terrestrial invertebrates and smaller fish. Many authors considered it both a generalist and opportunist.
The aims of the study were to determine seasonal dynamics of brown trout diet on three salmonid watercourses with different characteristics, difference in trout growth and production and to examine their correlation to habitat characteristics, significance and selectivity of different prey, where the selectivity was assessed by Electivity index, so that successful fly fishing approach could be proposed for different habitats.
The habitat characteristics important for choosing fishing approach are geology of the area, prey abundance and diversity, drift richness and time of the season. High water conductivity has a positive impact on prey production, and consequently high trout production. The most abundant prey in the habitat is usually negatively selected, except at the beginning and/or the end of the season when other preys are less available. Positive selection exists for rare preys so imitations of such prey can be more successful. Imitations of benthic prey should be chosen with respect to its abundance and seasonal dynamics, and various imitations of terrestrial prey should be used more near the end of the season when it is positively selected.
Trout react quickly to changes in prey availability, but which imitation will be successful can be predicted based on habitat characteristics and seasonal dynamics. Successful fishing with various imitations is possible in habitats with lower abundance but high diversity of prey, while selectivity will be more pronounced in prey-abundant habitats.

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.

AB  - The upper stretch of the Pek River is located in proximity to one of the largest mining sites in Serbia. To estimate the influence of copper mining on river biota, the quantitative and qualitative macroinvertebrate community structure was analyzed, and the ecological status of the river was assessed using standard biological indices. Data was gathered at 6 sites along the river. A total of 75 macroinvertebrate taxa were recorded. The reference site had the highest number of recorded taxa (48) and a high biodiversity (diversity index H=2.3). In contrast, the lowest number of taxa (8), a low diversity index value (H=1.15), and a very poor overall ecological status were recorded at site 2, which is heavily influenced by mining discharge. The Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera and Trichoptera group (EPT) constituted 46.30% of the community at site 1 but was completely absent at site 2 where Diptera (70%) and Oligochaeta (20%) were dominant, reflecting a strong impact of the mining industry on the upper river stretch. A gradual improvement of water quality downstream of the pollution sources indicates that this medium-sized river has the capacity to overcome intensive pollution and to revitalize itself along its course.

AB  - Examination of brown trout seasonal diet variation and investigation of terrestrial prey importance in a food-rich stream using four indices of prey importance (number and weight abundance, frequency of occurrence, index of relative importance) revealed that aquatic prey constituted the major part of the diet (>90%) throughout the examined period. Despite Gammaridae being the most abundant in the environment, other less abundant organisms appeared to be important prey, including terrestrial organisms, with maximum consumption in September. The electivity index showed a positive selection of rare prey types; Tokeshi’s model revealed a specialist strategy for most of the population, except for those of 1+ age, who were inclining to generalist strategy. Diet diversity increased throughout April to October, and ages 1+ and 2+ exhibited a more diverse diet than older ages. Diet overlap between age classes was considerable, with less overlap observed in the later season. This pattern of differentiation in the diet of brown trout age classes and their feeding plasticity over seasonal scales, as observed in this food-rich stream, provides a starting point for further examination of this topic in streams with similar or different food richness and availability.

AB  - Simulium reptans (Linnaeus, 1758) and Simulium reptantoides Carlsson, 1962 are two species of the Simulium reptans group whose distribution is unclear because of their confusing taxonomy and systematics. Their genetic variability is well known for populations in northern and central Europe and shows that both species have two forms; however, the genetic variability of these species in southern and eastern Europe is unknown. To identify the status of these two species in southeast Europe, mtDNA was extracted from 19 individuals from 12 localities across the Balkan Peninsula. Phylogenetic analysis confirmed the existence of two species with 7.38–7.94% divergence. Each species was comprised of two clades, with 2.31% and 1.43% interclade divergence for S. reptans and S. reptantoides , respectively. This study revealed the presence of both species across the Balkans and that S. reptans occurs in this area in only one form ( S. reptans B), while S. reptantoides is found in two genetic forms (A and B).

AB  - The efforts focusing on the Danube investigations are understandable as the Danube is the
second largest European river and the largest waterway in the EU. Prior to the promotion of
philosophy established by the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD) in 2000, several
comprehensive expeditions took place along the Danube – e.g. the survey organized by the
International Association for the Danube River in 1990 or the Equipe Cousteau survey
programme in 1990-1992. Despite the intensive research, it became clear that without joint
efforts of all interested parties, it is impossible to collect comprehensive, comparable data
for the entire Danube, providing a basis for a better understanding of complex processes
that occur in this large river. Guided by this idea, as well as by the motivation to establish
an efficient expert cooperation throughout the Danube River Basin, the International
Commission for the Protection of the Danube River (ICPDR) introduced the concept of
joint surveys of the Danube River (JDS). Those efforts resulted in several complex,
multidisciplinary surveys – the Joint Danube Survey 1 (JDS1) and International Tisza
Survey in 2001, AquaTerra Danube Survey in 2004, JDS2 in 2007 and JDS3 in 2013.
Motivated by experience from previous surveys, ICPDR is in the final phase of preparation
of JDS4, which will officially start on 29th of June 2019 on the “Danube Day”. All past JDS
expeditions were realized by the core team of scientists that completed longitudinal survey
along the Danube. In the case of the JDS4, the expedition will be realized with active
participation of national teams of the “Danubian” countries. All national teams (Germany,
Austria, Slovakia, Check Republic, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, Moldova
and Ukraine) will perform sampling and data collection in same period. Also, the samples
will be partially processed by national teams, while only specific analyses will be done by
advanced European laboratories. As in the case of previous surveys, the key objective of
JDS4 is to produce comparable and reliable information on selected water quality elements
for the whole of the length of the Danube River including the major tributaries on a shortterm
basis. In addition, in compare to previous surveys, JDS4 aims to provide an
opportunity for more effective harmonization and training in WFD related monitoring.
AB  - Napori usmereni istraživanju Dunava su razumljivi, ovo je druga po redu reka Evrope po
veličini, kao i najveći navigacioni koridor Evropske unije (EU). Pre promocije filozofije
ustanovljene Okvirnom direktivom o vodama EU (ODV) 2000. godine, više složenih
istraživačkih ekspedicija je realizovano na Dunavu – na pr. studija koju je organizovala
Međunarodna asocijacija za Dunav (International Association for the Danube River) 1990.
ili Kustoova ekspedicija (Equipe Cousteau survey programme) u periopdu 1990-1992.
Uprkos intenzivnim istraživanjima, postalo je jasno da bez zajedničkih napora svih
zainteresovanih strana nije moguće prikupiti potpune i poredive podatke za ceo Dunav, koji
bi obezbedili osnovu za razumevanje složenih procesa koji se odigravaju u ovoj moćnoj
reci. Vođeni ovom idejom, kao i u težnji da se ustanovi efikasna saradnja među
stručnjacima u celom slivu Dunava, Međunarodna komisija za zaštitu reke Dunav
(International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River - ICPDR) ustanovljava

pripreme Četvrtog zajedničkog istraživanja reke Dunav - JDS4, koje zvanično počinje 29.
juna 2019, na Dan Dunava. Sva prethodna zajednička istraživanja Dunava realizovana su
kao longitudinalnie studije uz učešće međunarodnih timova naučnika. U slučaju JDS4,
ekspedicija će biti realizovana uz aktivno učešće nacionalnih timova zemalja Podunavlja.
Svi nacionalni timovi (Nemačka, Austrija, Slovačka, Češka, Mađarska, Hrvatska Srbija,
Rumunija, Bugarska Moldavija i Ukrajina) vršiće uzorkovanje u istom periodu. Uzorci će,
takođe, delimično biti obrađeni od strane nacionalnih timova, dok će se samo
specijalizovane analize vršiti najkvalitetnijim evropskim laboratorijama. Kao u slučaju
prethodnih istraživanja, ključni cilj JDS4 je da se obezbede poredive i pouzdane informacije
o izabranim elementima kvaliteta vode za ceo Dunav., uključujući i najznačajnije pritoke.
Dodatno, u poređenju sa prethodnim istraživanjima, cilj JDS4 je da se omogući efektivnija
harmonizacija metoda i obuka za monitoring prema smernicama ODV.

AB  - Morphological similarity among certain species often leads to misidentification. Additionally, the lack of appropriate identification keys contributes to the gaps in knowledge of the distribution of many species. Molecular methods, nowadays, are widely used to solve this problem and to expand knowledge about genetic variability and phylogeny of certain species. Simulium reptans (Linnaeus, 1758) and Simulium reptantoides Carlsson, 1962 are two morphologically similar species of Simulium reptans group, whose distribution hasn’t been clear. There is some information about these taxa in Northern and Central Europe, regarding their genetic variability, phylogeny and distribution. Nevertheless, there is no information about them in the Southern and Eastern Europe. The Balkan Peninsula is seen as one of Southern Europe’s biodiversity hotspots. However, in the Balkan Peninsula, only S. reptans is reported in the current inventory (Adler, 2019). In this study, mtDNA was extracted from 19 individuals from 12 localities across the Balkans. Phylogenetic analysis using mitochondrial DNA barcoding (COI) gene, clearly showed the presence of both species in the area, supported by high genetic divergence (over 7%). Each of these species consist of two molecular forms: A and B, and throughout the Balkans only the B form of S. reptans was detected, while S. reptantoides occurs with both forms (A and B).

Orthocladinae, Tanypodinae and Chironominae). The most abundant species altogether was
Chironomus riparius, with highest abundance in Barička reka. In reservoirs, the most abundant
non-biting midges belong to genus Procladius and Ablabesmyia monilis agg. while in the

AB  - Background. A sampling of stomach and intestine content is usually performed by dissection of the gastrointestinal tract of fish. To avoid fish sacrificing, various non-lethal techniques have been developed and tested. Such sampling methods are very useful, especially for small populations and protected species. In this study, a modified syringe stomach flushing was applied on Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum, 1792), and Salmo trutta Linnaeus, 1758,to test its efficiency in retrieving stomach content.Materials  and  methods.  Water was injected repeatedly by a syringe through a silicone tube directly into the stomach of live fish to flush the content out. Afterwards, fish were dissected to collect residual stomach content. The efficiency of the method was assessed as the percentage of flushed content by weight and as the percentage of the number of flushed prey items, both in respect to the whole stomach content (100%). The relation between the fish body size (length and weight) and efficiency of flushing (expressed as the weight and number of flushed prey) was tested by linear regression. The sensitivity of the method was tested with respect to 25 designated prey types. The share of each prey type was compared in the pooled sample of flushed and residual content.Results. Collected stomach content was well preserved for identification of ingested organisms. From 25 designated prey types, 17 were 100% flushed, 4 over 90%, one over 80%, 2 were 44% effectively flushed (gastropods and caddisflies in stone cases), and 1 prey type was present only in the residual sample (Gordius sp.). The efficiency of the method assessed as the mean percentage of flushed content by weight was found to be 78.78%, while 91.99% of prey items were effectively flushed.Conclusion. The applied modification of syringe stomach flushing was found to be effective for investigation of stomach content of salmonid fish since (1) collected prey items were well preserved and easily identified; (2) the percentage of flushed prey items was high (91.99%); and (3) the method is easily applicable and inexpensive

abstract = "Background. A sampling of stomach and intestine content is usually performed by dissection of the gastrointestinal tract of fish. To avoid fish sacrificing, various non-lethal techniques have been developed and tested. Such sampling methods are very useful, especially for small populations and protected species. In this study, a modified syringe stomach flushing was applied on Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum, 1792), and Salmo trutta Linnaeus, 1758,to test its efficiency in retrieving stomach content.Materials  and  methods.  Water was injected repeatedly by a syringe through a silicone tube directly into the stomach of live fish to flush the content out. Afterwards, fish were dissected to collect residual stomach content. The efficiency of the method was assessed as the percentage of flushed content by weight and as the percentage of the number of flushed prey items, both in respect to the whole stomach content (100%). The relation between the fish body size (length and weight) and efficiency of flushing (expressed as the weight and number of flushed prey) was tested by linear regression. The sensitivity of the method was tested with respect to 25 designated prey types. The share of each prey type was compared in the pooled sample of flushed and residual content.Results. Collected stomach content was well preserved for identification of ingested organisms. From 25 designated prey types, 17 were 100% flushed, 4 over 90%, one over 80%, 2 were 44% effectively flushed (gastropods and caddisflies in stone cases), and 1 prey type was present only in the residual sample (Gordius sp.).

AB  - One of the biggest mining sites in Serbia is located in close proximity of the upper stretch of 
the Pek River, near the Majdanpek city. In the process of copper extraction from the ore, waste 
water is produced and discharged into the River. In order to estimate the influence of mining 
activities we conducted the research of aquatic macroinvertebrate communities along this river.
Macroinvertebrate samples were gathered with benthological hand net using multihabitat 
sampling procedure, in the Summer of 2015. To estimate the influence of the waste waters we 
had chosen the reference site on the Veliki Pek River, the constituent of the Pek, and five 
downstream sites along the Pek River course. The second site receives the majority of the 
pollutants from the mining site. For the assessment of the ecological status, the Asterics 
software package and the following biological indices were used: Total number of taxa (N), 
Shannon-Wiener diversity index (H), Zelinka-Marvan saprobic index, BMWP, and ASPT.
A total of 76 macroinvertebrate taxa were recorded, with insects being the dominant component 
both in terms of abundance (89.73%), and taxa richness (72 taxa). The reference site had the 
highest number of recorded taxa (48) and high values of diversity (H) and evenness (2,38; 0,61, 
respectively) and was assessed as the site with very good ecological status (I class). In contrast, 
at the second site which is influenced by the mining discharge, the lowest number of taxa (8) 
with low diversity values (H=1.15) and very poor overall ecological status (IV class) were 
observed. The EPT group (Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera and Trichoptera), which constituted 
46,30% of the community at the first site, was completely absent at the second site where 
dominant groups were Diptera (70%) and Oligochaeta (20%). Downstream localities (sites 3 to 
6) showed a gradual trend of water quality improvement. At the fifth locality the community 
showed complete recovery, with far less Diptera participation. Moreover, Ephemeroptera, 
Trichoptera, and Crustacea comprised over 70% of the community. Diversity and evenness 
(2,75; 0,8) at this site increased significantly, reaching very good ecological status. 
The results of our investigation point to strong negative mining impact on the upper river 
stretch, which reflects on the studied biological elements. However, this medium sized river 
showed capacity to overcome intensive upstream pollution, and revitalize itself along its course. 
To determine which negative effects mining activities have on the river biota, and to 
recommend river protection measures, a more comprehensive investigation should be 
conducted

AB  - The mountainous area of Zelengora is positioned in southeast Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is
characterized by dense forests (deciduous and coniferous), mountain pastures, barren rock
peaks, gorges, canyons, and lakes. Dinaric mountains have karst morphology with underground
drainage systems, caves and sinkholes. The amount of annual precipitation is high and
continuous through the year. On Zelengora most of the water drains from the Drina River basin.
The Lakes of this area have an average depth of 2-3m and are situated over 1400m above sea
level, at the forest boundary. During the cold period of the year, they are covered with ice that
can last for months.
The study of five Zelengora lakes (the Gornje bare, the Donje bare, the Crno jezero, the Bijelo
jezero and the Orlovačko jezero) was carried out in August of 2016. Pysico-chemical
(temperature, pH, oxygen, conductivity, nitrates, nitrites, sulfates, orthophosphates, and total
phosphor) and biological parameters (macroinvertebrates and phytoplankton) were gathered, at
each lake. Water samples were taken for measuring chlorophyll concentrations, needed for the
assessment of the trophic level by Carlson’s and Felfoldy’s indices.
Physico-chemical parameters were within expected range in all five lakes, with the exception
of total phosphor which had higher values. As orthophosphates were relatively low, high values
of total phosphor in the samples indicate that phosphor is mainly bound in organic matter.
Regarding benthic fauna, 51 taxa of macroinvertebrates were recorded in total. Highest number
of taxa (27) was recorded in the lake Bijelo jezero, and lowest (17) in the lake Orlovačko jezero.
Groups with highest taxa richness were Oligochaeta, Gastropoda, Diptera and Odonata. Species
Erpobdella octoculata, Valvata piscinalis, Cloeon dipterum, Aeshna cyanea and Pyrrhosoma
nymphula were present in all lakes. Considering microhabitat preferences and feeding types,
two groups were distinguished. One group consisting of Oligochaeta, Chironomidae and
Mollusca that prefer pelal and inhabit deeper parts of the lakes with decomposing organic
matter, and the other consisting of representatives from the Insecta group (predominantly
Ephemeroptera, Trichoptera and Odonata) which prefer the littoral zone with macrophytes.
Qualitative analysis of phytoplankton recorded 68 taxa from 7 phyla. According to both trophic
indices, four lakes were oligotrophic to oligo-mesotrophic. The only exception was the Bijelo
jezero which was mesotrophic.
These lakes are under no significant anthropogenic influence, and their organic load is a natural
consequence of eutrophication. The succession was most evident at the Gornje bare and the
Bijelo jezero. All sites have diverse habitats and therefore exceptionally diverse communities.
Considering their biological richness, as well as their rare beauty and aesthetic value, these
pristine sites meet the criteria to be protected.

AB  - Freshwater sponges (Porifera, Spongillidae) owing to some of their characteristics, may be 
exploited as bioindicators and, as such, are becoming increasingly interesting in ecological 
studies. Earlier studies have shown that environmental factors have a fundamental impact on 
Demospongiae spicule size and shape. However, data on spicule anomalies and possible causes 
of their appearance are quite scarce. The present study aimed to assess the frequency of spicule 
anomalies in sponges from 10 Serbian rivers, in relation to the species, physico-chemical 
properties of the streams and presence of pollutants.
In autumn of 2017, 40 sponge samples were collected in ten tributaries of Sava and Danube 
rivers (Velika Morava, Zapadna Morava, Juzna Morava, Tisa, Kolubara, Porecka River, Mlava, 
Beli Timok, Crni Timok and Nisava). Basic physico-chemical parameters were registered at 
every site where sponges were found. After spicule isolation by HNO3 digestion procedure, the 
samples were subjected to morphological analysis by light and scanning electron microscopy, 
and number of anomalies recorded. For other parameters such as heavy metals concentration, 
nitrates, phosphates, carbonates, bicarbonates, dissolved silicates, etc. yearly values from the 
Environment Protection Agency were taken into consideration.
Five species were found: Ephydatia fluviatilis, Ephydatia muelleri, Spongilla lacustris, 
Eunapius fragilis, and Trochospongilla horrida. The most frequent anomalies were: spicule 
bending near one end, both ends, or medially, spicules with bifurcations and spicules with 
bulbous enlargements. The type and frequency of spicule malformations varied greatly within 
the analyzed specimens. The frequency of anomalies ranged from 1 x 10-3
to 67 x 10-3
, with an 
average number of 12 x 10-3
. Variations were noted in main physico-chemical parameters (the 
conductivity ranged from 364 to 603 µS, the temperature from 12.3 to 21.9° C, the pH from 7.2 
to 8.0 and the oxygen concentration from 7.07 to 11.3 mg/l). Similarly, the levels of different 
metals and other pollutants surveyed in the ten rivers varied considerably, but the permitted 
concentrations were not exceeded. The highest number of anomalies was found in a specimen 
of E. fragilis collected at Markovac (Great Morava River) and the lowest number was found in 
a specimen of E. fluviatilis from Kanjiza (Tisa River). Although the two “antipode” sites 
exhibited some differences in concentrations of bicarbonates, Fe, Cr, Ni, Mg, etc., none of the 
registered concentrations reached Intervention Values.io
From the present study it can be speculated that the propensity of sponges to display aberrant 
spicules will mostly depend on the species. Besides species-specific intrinsic factors, some 
exogenous factors are obviously also needed for the development of aberrant spicules, but it 
remains unclear what these environmental factors are. Some species seemed more tolerant than 
other to changes of water physico-chemical parameters.
