Water bodies in Belgrade sub-urban area are under considerable anthropogenic pressure. Rivers
and channels discussed in this study pass through industrial zones, agricultural and urban areas,
and play an important role in draining atmospheric water and wastewater. Reservoirs in
Belgrade vicinity are also under diverse anthropogenic influence. Macroinvertebrate samples
were collected in June and September 2018 from 21 water bodies (9 rivers, 8 canals, and 4
reservoirs), following MHS sampling procedure. Chironomids were dominant in all samples
and as such, they were analyzed independently. A total of 69 chironomid taxa (48 – rivers, 29
– reservoirs and 25 – channels) were recorded, within 4 subfamilies (Prodiamesinae,
Orthocladinae, Tanypodinae and Chironominae). The most abundant species altogether was
Chironomus riparius, with highest abundance in Barička reka. In reservoirs, the most abundant
non-biting midges belong to genus Procladius and Ablabesmyia monilis agg. while in the
channels the most abundant were Parachironomus arcuatus agg. and Cricotopus sylvestris
group. High dominance of chironomids in macroinvertebrate communities, as well as the
chironomid community structure itself, suggest that they could be efficiently used for
assessment of anthropogenic pressure in sub-urban areas.
