abstract = "Invasion of alien species can effects ecological state of water bodies through changes of composition
and structure of macrozoobentos communities. We assessed bio-contamination (SBCI index) and
water quality by biotic indices at 12 sites along the Danube River in Serbia and at 17 sites including
the Neman, Narew and Western Bug river basins in Belarus for different years. The correlation
analyses show that SBCI was weakly correlated with biotic indices in Danube River. Also, during the
time Corophium sp. disappeared from macrozoobenthos community in the presence of
Dikerogammarus villosus what could be a possible reason for the increase in the number of species
and of the values of biotic indices. SBCI and densities of Orconectes limosus at sampling sites at
Neman River are negatively correlated with biotic indices. At other sites in Belarus, SBCI metrics
showed positive correlation with biotic indices. Differences in the impact of alien species on the
assessment of water quality may be related to the intensity of biological pollution and the duration of
the invasion.",
