The aim of this paper was to present preliminary results of aquatic ecosystems biodiversity within target area on the mountain Rogozna, which are under the potential impact of mining activities.
Rogozna is a mountain in southwest part of Serbia, situated in a triangle composed of the upper and central stretches of the Ibar and the Raška River, 12 km from Novi Pazar.
The watercourses in the study area are represented by small hilly-mountainous streams. Data were collected during April and September 2021 at 9 localities at selected streams: Barska reka, Karavansalijska reka, Kašaljska reka and Netvički potok. Karavansalijska and Kašaljska reka are draining Ibar through Banjska and Barska reka, while Netvički potok drains Raška through the Tranavska reka.
Analyses of aquatic biota included benthic algae and macroinvertebrates. The basic characteristics of each locality have been collected using specific protocols (adapted AQEM protocol, 2002). Qualitative analysis of benthic diatoms revealed a total of 49 taxa, belonging to 26 genera. The most frequent taxa of studied watercourses were also the most abundant, such as Achnanthidium minutissimum (Kützing) Czarnecki, Meridion circulare (Greville) C.A. Agardh and Navicula lanceolata (Agardh) Ehrenberg. In total 116 macroinvertebrate taxa from 16 taxa groups were recorded within the study area. Analysis of the macroinvertebrates fauna indicated that the most abundant components of the community were Diptera (31.06 %) and Plecoptera (29.73%). The most abundant species in the community were Gammarus pulex (Linnaeus, 1758) and Protonemura montana Kimmins, 1941.
Overall, results based on benthic diatom and macroinvertebrate communities of mountain Rogozna watercourses showed that diversity and taxa distribution are typical for the hilly-mountainous streams, and indicate absence of pollution.
