AB  - The introduction of species outside their natural range is widely recognized to be one of the main threats to biodiversity and the second leading cause of
animal extinctions. Freshwater ecosystems often have high rates of introductions of
allochthonous macroinvertebrates and fishes arising from intentional and accidental
releases of species. Problems potentially occur when these organisms integrate into
the community, interact with native species, and increase competition for resources.
It is known that zebra mussel Dreissena polymorpha, as well as fish species
Carassius gibelio, Ameiurus nebulosus, Ameiurus melas, Lepomis gibbosus, and
others have a negative impact on the autochthonous fish species of Serbia. Therefore,
the aim of the present study is to assess the consequences of introduced
macroinvertebrates and fishes, and their impact on fish stock (abundance and
biomass) in some Serbian rivers and reservoirs.

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  - Mayflies are amphibious insects which represent an important link in food and energy transfer from aquatic to terrestrial habitats. They constitute a large proportion of the aquatic ecosystems’ biomass. Although our knowledge about mayfly (bio)diversity in the Balkan Peninsula is still far from complete, more extensive systematic studies have been conducted within the last decade. In this chapter we explore development of mayfly research in the area of the Western Balkans, mayfly species richness in various small lotic habitats, including springs, streams and rivers, and determine the importance of such habitats for conservation of local mayflies. We discuss the value of mayflies as bioindicators of freshwater ecosystems’ health, as well as the influences of various anthropogenic activities on mayfly assemblages in small lotic habitats of the Western Balkans. Moreover, we present current gaps in research and we give recommendations for future directions of mayfly research in the area of the Western Balkans.

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  - Benthic communities represent one of the most threatened organisms in aquatic habitats due to accumulation of plastic particles in sediments. High abundance of MPs in aquatic habitats indicate higher probability of macroinvertebrates to ingest microplastic particles. Benthic community was exposed to high concentration of MPs, 80 g m-2 in sediment, and control, without addition of MPs. Mixture of MPs contained polyethylene (PE), polyvynil-chloride (PVC) and polyamide (PA) in a ratio of 50%: 25%: 25%, respectively. In situ experiment lasted for 100 days. Total number of taxa that colonized the trays were 22 (17 in control, 18 in HC treatment). Most dominant group within macroinvertebrate community was dipteran family Chironomidae, both in control and HC treatment. No significant differences in abundance and biomass at community level between control and HC treatment was recorded by PERMANOVA ((F=0.993; p=0.456 and F=0.344; p=0.797, respectively). Mixture of microplastics did not influence abundance and biomass of functional feeding groups within macroinvertebrate community (F=1.810; p=0.137 and F=0.377; p=0.736, respectively). Species richness (S), species abundance (N), biomass (B), Shannon's diversity index (H) and Simpson's index (D) showed no statistically significant differences between the control and treatment groups.

AB  - The Thick Shelled River Mussel, Unio crassus Philipsson, 1788 is one of Europe’s most 
endangered freshwater mussel taxa – according to the IUCN criteria assessed as endangered 
(EN) The aim of this study is to present the current distribution of this species in Serbia, 
based on the research performed between 2001 and 2013. Previous studies in Serbia 
indicated only sporadic findings of the species in a restricted area over the last several 
decades (BAES database). Our study covered the entire territory of Serbia. Out of 500 sites 
covered by the study, the mussels were recorded at 23 sites. U. crassus has been recorded at 
the Velika and Zapadna Morava rivers, the Kolubara River Basin and the Danube, the Tisa 
and Sava rivers. The species has been sporadically found in Serbia, with low frequency of 
occurrence and low abundance along the Danube and Tisa rivers (up to 1.75% of the total 
mussel community), while it was found almost along entire stretches of the Velika Morava 
and Sava Rivers, with higher relative abundance compared to the Danube and Tisa rivers (up 
to 15.49% of the total mussel community). Based on our study, a positive population trend, 
reflected in extension of the known distribution range and increasing of population density 
has been recorded in Serbia.

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).

AB  - U ovom radu razmatrana je efikasnost dve metode uzorkovnja vodenih makrobeskičmenjaka, K&S metode i Van Veen bagera. Za poređenje tehnika uzorkovanja korišćen je materijal prikupljen 2014. i 2015, u četiri serije uzorkovanja, na 12 lokaliteta na Dunavu, na potezu od Ledinaca (1262 rkm) do Radujevca (851 rkm). Uzorci vodenih makrobeskičmenjaka prikupljeni su dvema poređenim metodama. Zabeleženo je ukupno 156 taksona vodenih makrobeskičmenjaka u okviru 16 taksonomsko-ekoloških grupa. Najveća raznovrsnost zabeležena kod grupe Diptera (među kojima je najznačajniji udeo familije Chironomidae), slede grupe Oligochaeta, Crustacea i Gastropoda, dok se ostale grupe odlikuju prisustvom manjeg broja taksona. Prema našim rezultatima, K&S metoda uzorkovanja efikasnija je za analizu zajednica vodenih makrobeskičmenjaka u poređenju sa Van Veen bagerom.
AB  - This paper discuss the effectivenes of two different sampling techniques for the study of aquatic macroinvertebrate communities, K&S method and Van Veen dredge. For comparison of sampling techniques, we used the material collected in four field surveys in 2014 and 2015 on 12 sampling sites in sector from Ledinaci (1262 rkm) to Radujevac (851 rkm). A total of 156 macroinvertebrates taxa in 16 taxonomic groups were recorded. The highest taxa richness is recorded in the group Diptera (among which the most significant is Chironomidae family), followed by Oligochaeta, Crustacea and Gastropoda, while other groups are characterized by the presence of a small number of taxa. According to our results, K&S sampling method is more effective for investigation of aquatic macroinvertebrates in compre with Van Veen grab.

abstract = "U ovom radu razmatrana je efikasnost dve metode uzorkovnja vodenih makrobeskičmenjaka, K&S metode i Van Veen bagera. Za poređenje tehnika uzorkovanja korišćen je materijal prikupljen 2014. i 2015, u četiri serije uzorkovanja, na 12 lokaliteta na Dunavu, na potezu od Ledinaca (1262 rkm) do Radujevca (851 rkm). Uzorci vodenih makrobeskičmenjaka prikupljeni su dvema poređenim metodama. Zabeleženo je ukupno 156 taksona vodenih makrobeskičmenjaka u okviru 16 taksonomsko-ekoloških grupa. Najveća raznovrsnost zabeležena kod grupe Diptera (među kojima je najznačajniji udeo familije Chironomidae), slede grupe Oligochaeta, Crustacea i Gastropoda, dok se ostale grupe odlikuju prisustvom manjeg broja taksona. Prema našim rezultatima, K&S metoda uzorkovanja efikasnija je za analizu zajednica vodenih makrobeskičmenjaka u poređenju sa Van Veen bagerom., This paper discuss the effectivenes of two different sampling techniques for the study of aquatic macroinvertebrate communities, K&S method and Van Veen dredge. For comparison of sampling techniques, we used the material collected in four field surveys in 2014 and 2015 on 12 sampling sites in sector from Ledinaci (1262 rkm) to Radujevac (851 rkm). A total of 156 macroinvertebrates taxa in 16 taxonomic groups were recorded. The highest taxa richness is recorded in the group Diptera (among which the most significant is Chironomidae family), followed by Oligochaeta, Crustacea and Gastropoda, while other groups are characterized by the presence of a small number of taxa. According to our results, K&S sampling method is more effective for investigation of aquatic macroinvertebrates in compre with Van Veen grab.",

AB  - Community concordance within aquatic biota could provide useful information for improving the methods used in bioassessment and biodiversity conservation management. The main goal of the study was to investigate the mechanism of community concordance between macroinvertebrates and fish in a single river basin (South Morava river Basin, Serbia). In order to achieve this, a Self organizing map (SOM) ordinated and classified sampling sites based on the community structures of five different taxa groups (macroinveretbrates (MIB), fish (FSH), Chironomidae (CHI), Macroinvertebrates without Chironomidae (MWC) and the Ephemeroptera Plecoptera Trichioptera group (EPT)). SOM also revealed 6 environmental gradients along the groups tested that significantly changed their community structures. Using the results of the SOM analysis as the input, the Mantel test quantified the highest community concordance between FSH and MIB (r = 0.42) followed by FSH and CHI (r = 0.29). The lowest concordance was recorded between FSH and EPT (r = 0.14). The indicator species analysis (IndVal) revealed 39 species to be responsible for the community patterns obtained. The Geo-SOM visualized the spatial distribution of the IndVal taxa, revealing the generators of community concordance. The strength of community concordance depends on the variability of the data on the aquatic biota. Thus, having an appropriate sampling and statistical design as well as high taxonomic resolution, as some of the factors which increase the variability in the data set, could present community concordance between fish and macroinvertebrates in an unbiased way.

AB  - In this study, we aimed to assess the population status of bleak (Alburnus spp.) over the Western Balkan Peninsula in terms of its sustainable use. A second objective was to determine key factors important for fishery management planning. Two different basins, continental (the Danube Basin and the Sava River sub-basin) and marine (the Adriatic and the Aegean Sea Basins) were examined. A sustainability assessment and factor analysis were conducted using the adjusted ESHIPPOfishing model, extended with additional socio-economic sub-elements, and the categorical principal components analysis (CATPCA), respectively. The results of the assessment revealed the bleak populations in the Danube Basin and the Sava River sub-basin to be highly sustainable. The population characteristics with abiotic and biotic factors were responsible for this status, while the influence of socio-economic factors was insignificant. The sustainability status of the bleak populations of the Mediterranean basin varied, with the populations from Ohrid and Skadar Lakes showing a high and those from Prespa and Dojran Lakes a medium status. Socio-economic factors with traditional fishing were the most important for the Mediterranean bleak populations.

AB  - The objective of this work is to analyze the effectiveness of two widely used methods for collecting aquatic macroinvertebrate samples: the semiquantitative kick and sweep (K&S) and quantitative Surber net (SN) techniques. Based on our data, the methods were fully comparable as regards analysis of the macroinvertebrate metrics most often used in ecological status assessment (sensitivity/tolerance parameters), while K&S was found to be more successful in the evaluation of biodiversity. Thus, both methods could be used for routine monitoring of the status of water bodies, according to the recommendation of the EU Water Framework Directive, while for research, K&S is more advanced. K&S is also more effective timewise for material collecting. SN sampling is a quantitative method and could thus be used in studies of aquatic ecosystem productivity.

AB  - The aim of this chapter is to provide the overview of the water status, state of the biological diversity, and protected areas along the Sava River as well as to underline the necessity of identification and implementation of effective conservation measures. The chapter is based on historical data on environment and recent investigation on macroinvertebrate communities (2011–2012). Ecological status of water bodies within the Sava River basin ranges from high to poor, while the ecological status of the majority of water bodies is assessed as moderate, which indicates the necessity of design and implementation of relevant mitigation measures. The assessment of water quality and ecological status of the river Sava based on the macroinvertebrates community, alongside with the use of several standard biological methods and regional biotic index BNBI indicates a high correlation of the obtained results. BNBI has proven to be a method reliable enough for both the assessment of water quality and the assessment of ecological status of large rivers. Based on the results of water status assessment, the Sava River could be divided into three zones. The best water quality was recorded within the Slovenian stretch of the river, being within the limits of betamesosaprobic zone, while the ecological status was assessed as a good one. The middle part of the Sava River, stretching mainly through Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, has a somewhat worse water quality, approaching the limit of betamesosaprobic zone, while the ecological status in this part of the flow was also determined as a “good” one. The lower parts of the Sava River flow through Serbia are by all indicators more heavily polluted; the water quality is on the border between beta- and alfamesosaprobic zones, while the ecological status is between “good” and “moderate.” The biodiversity of the Sava River may be considered significant, when compared to similar watercourses of Central Europe and Balkan Peninsula. The work contains a more detailed analysis of the biodiversity of aquatic macroinvertebrates and fish of the main flow of the Sava River. Based on the condition of biodiversity of these groups, the river’s ecosystem is divided into three “macrohabitats.” The first macrohabitat includes the upper rhithron parts of the river through Slovenia, with a significant diversity of stenovalent groups of macroinvertebrates (larvae EPT) and salmonid species of fish (brown trout, grayling, and huchen trout). The second macrohabitat includes the parts of the flow through Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina with significant diversity of invertebrates from the groups Odonata, Mollusca, Hirudinea, and Chironomidae and fish from the families of Cyprinidae, Percidae, and Gobiidae. The highest number of protected species of fish has been registered in this section. The third “macrohabitat” includes the lower part of the potamon of the Sava River and mostly flows through Serbia wherein this part of the flow represents the most important habitat of the globally endangered and fishing-wise important sturgeon species of sterlet (Acipenser ruthenus) in this river. It is characterized by a decreased biodiversity of macroinvertebrates in the main flow of the river and a significant diversity in the flood zones. In the biodiversity of fish, the highest number of allochthonous species appears. In this section, the diversity of fish in flood zones especially as the habitat of endangered species such as Umbra krameri, Misgurnus fossilis, and Carassius carassius is also important. Research has shown that in order to perform a successful conservation of large river biodiversity, the ecosystem must be observed as a complex consisting of the main flow of the river, flood zone, and its tributaries.

AB  - We employed the self-organizing map (SOM) method to investigate the spatio-temporal pattern of the Chironomidae community in the Southern Morava River basin (Serbia) and to examine to what extent the Chironomidae community is affected by environmental factors. Additionally, this study explores the problems of utilizing chironomids in bioassessment programs. The SOM analysis of the chironomid community data produced 3 groups of sites. The indicator species analysis presented indicator taxa for two groups. Twenty taxa (at species, species group and genus level), according to the Kruskal-Wallis test, showed the most pronounced differences among the temporal units. Out of 15 measured environmental parameters, one-way ANOVA pointed out that 10 significantly differ between the groups. Elevation had the most important influence on the chironomid community, also affecting other environmental parameters. According to our findings, the winter season and the periods with high water level are the main sources of natural variability. To avoid such variability and to successfully incorporate Chironomidae in bioassessment programs, we suggest exclusion of the arguable months from monitoring programs.

abstract = "We employed the self-organizing map (SOM) method to investigate the spatio-temporal pattern of the Chironomidae community in the Southern Morava River basin (Serbia) and to examine to what extent the Chironomidae community is affected by environmental factors. Additionally, this study explores the problems of utilizing chironomids in bioassessment programs. The SOM analysis of the chironomid community data produced 3 groups of sites. The indicator species analysis presented indicator taxa for two groups. Twenty taxa (at species, species group and genus level), according to the Kruskal-Wallis test, showed the most pronounced differences among the temporal units. Out of 15 measured environmental parameters, one-way ANOVA pointed out that 10 significantly differ between the groups. Elevation had the most important influence on the chironomid community, also affecting other environmental parameters.

AB  - Within the scope of a research project on decapod crustaceans in Montenegrin aquatic ecosystems, a population of white-clawed crayfish of the Austropotamobius pallipes/italicus species complex has been recorded for the first time. Based on an analysis of morphometric and genetic parameters, it has been established that Austropotamobius italicus (Faxon, 1914) and its subspecies meridionalis are distributed in Dalmatia and in the central and southern parts of the Apennine Peninsula. The new finding represents: (1) extension of the known range of the species complex A. pallipes/italicus on the Balkan Peninsula, and (2) determining the limits of the distribution and of this isolated population of that complex. The ascertained characteristics of the white-clawed crayfish's newly discovered population in Montenegro are significant from the viewpoint of global conservation of the species in question.

AB  - Research into the ichthyofauna of the Vlasina Lake reservoir in south Serbia, which is part of the Danube basin, was carried out in 1993, 40 years after its formation. The results of the research reveal the presence of several species of fish belonging to the Adriatic and Aegean basin, such as Alburnus albidus, Rutilus basak, Scardinius graecus and Pachychilon macedonicus. These findings are of great importance from the aspect of conservation, because the species Scardinius graecus and Alburnus albidus are on the European list of endangered fish species. In the latest study of the Vlasina Lake reservoir ichthyofauna (70 years after its formation), the above-mentioned species were not found. However, the presence of naturalized populations of two species from the Adriatic basin were confirmed: Scardinius knezevici and Alburnus scoranza. These findings represent the first known areal expansion of these species, which are new to the ichthyofauna of Serbia, from the Adriatic into the Danube (Black Sea) basin.

AB  - In Serbia and Montenegro, four species of crayfish have been identified: three native, i.e., Astacus astacus (river crayfish), Astacus leptodactylus (Danube crayfish) and Austropotamobius torrentium (spring crayfish), as well as one non-indigenous species, Orconectes limosus (American crayfish). According to results presented, which comprise analyses of the data from a 60-year period, A. astacus is the most endangered species of crayfish in Serbia, as well as in Montenegro. The factors that influence the reduction of populations of this species are: pollution, habitat fragmentation, diseases, competition with A. leptodactylus, as well as isolation of the populations. According to IUCN criteria (Version 3.1), the degree of the endangerment. of A..,astacus, in, Serbia is evaluated as "Endangered" ("EN"), which is a higher degree than the, international level determined for this species, i.e., "Vulnerable" ("VU"). Populations the river crayfish in the area of Montenegro are in better condition, especially in the area of the upper course of the Zeta River. However, the populations of river crayfish in Montenegro are endangered by overfishing. Among native crayfishes, the least negative changes were determined in populations of A. torrentium. In both countries, the status of this species, according to IUCN criteria, was designated as "Lower Risk/Near Threatened" ("LR/nt"), which is lower than the international level of this species: "Vulnerable". During the past 30 years, A. leptodactylus has extented its area of distribution from the Danube River to other waters in Serbia (reservoirs and the Morava River). The last five years, the Danube crayfish has been endangered by the penetration of the invasive American crayfish. The abundance ratio of these two species in the Djerdap stretch of the Danube River was estimated as O. limosus: A. leptodactylus = 5: 2.

AB  - The aim of the study presented was to define trophic relationships within the benthic community according to functional feeding groups (FFG) in the Vlasina River (Southeast Serbia), with an attempt to use those results to describe the watercourse. In an investigation performed during 1996, a total of 125 macrozoobenthic taxa were identified, 95 of which were included in FFG analyses. Although the investigated part of the river, in its physical and chemical characteristics, as well as characteristics of the benthofauna, generally corresponds to what could be expected, certain variations of faunal composition were observed along the river. Two groups of sites were separated by FFG analysis - sites on the upper section of the river and on a tributary (the Gradska River) comprised one group, while the remaining sites made up the other.
