AB  - The main aim of this study was to investigate the application of benthic diatoms and the efficiency of diatom
indices in water ecological assessment of rivers in Serbia, as well as the influence of trout farms on rivers water
quality. Research was conducted in one year period along the Crnica and Radovanska rivers (Eastern Serbia), in
11 sampling sites (taking into account the position of trout fish farms that are built on both rivers). Results
showed that fish farms affect the physical and chemical parameters, as well as diversity of the epilithic diatom
assemblage along the rivers. Canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) indicated that among tested physical and
chemical parameters, conductivity “EC”, water hardness “WH”, sulfates “SO42-”, ionized ammonia fraction “NH4+”,
nitrates “NO3–
“, “pH”, mud, stone and depth were the most important variables affecting the distribution of
diatom species. A total of 206 epilithic diatom taxa were recorded in the Radovanska and 170 in the Crnica River.
Based on diatom indices, trout fish farms have no significant negative impact on the water quality of the
investigated rivers (indices are not enough sensitive). Redundancy analysis (RDA) showed a high degree of
correlation between the majority of indices which mostly indicated to good water quality of studied rivers. TID
and TDI were the only two indices indicating moderate and poor water quality of both rivers. Water quality based
on the TIDRS, the first proposed diatom index for Serbia was differ in two classes in most sites compairing with
TID.
