Приказ свих података о документуАпстракт:
Benthic macroinvertebrates are one biological quality element used within the Framework of the
European Water Framework Directive (EC, 2000/60; WFD) to assess the ecological water quality and
were therefore monitored in all previously conducted Joint Danube Surveys (JDS). The methods
applied were differing due to availability of devices, financial issues and the scientific focus. While in
JDS1 grabs were used to investigate hard rocky substrates (Literathy et al., 2002), in JDS2 air-lift
samples were taken to study the faunal composition of deep water habitats (Liška et al., 2008). During
JDS3 a modified Multi-Habitat-Sampling (MHS) approach has been performed to highlight the
importance of specific micro-habitats in terms of biodiversity and additionally as a sound basis for
river restoration efforts and water management issues in general. The data gained from JDS3 can be
seen as an important documentation of the current distribution of specific taxa and a completion
regarding faunistics of earlier studies, (Russev, 1998; Slobodnik et al., 2005; Csányi & Paunovic,
2006) and of all previous JDS expeditions. The results will significantly contribute to the currently
ongoing discussions regarding the WFD compliant assessment methods of large rivers either for field
work as well as the analysing aspects.
