abstract = "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.",
