AB  - Along six transects in each of six lakes across the Western Balkans, we collected data for three groups of littoral biological water quality indicators: epilithic diatoms, macrophytes, and benthic invertebrates. We assessed the relationships between them and three environmental pressures: nutrient load (eutrophication), hydro-morphological alteration of the shoreline, and water level variation, separating the effect of individual lakes and continuous explanatory variables. Lake water total phosphorus concentration (TP) showed substantial variation but was not related to any of the tested biological indicators, nor to any of the tested pressures. We suggest that this may be due to feedback processes such as P removal in the lake littoral zone. Instead, we found that a gradient in surrounding land-use towards increasing urbanization, and a land-use-based estimate of P run-off, served as a better descriptor of eutrophication. Overall, eutrophication and water level fluctuation were most important for explaining variation in the assessed indicators, whereas shoreline hydro-morphological alteration was less important. Diatom indicators were most responsive to all three pressures, whereas macrophyte biomass and species number responded only to water level fluctuation. The Trophic Diatom Index for Lakes (TDIL) was negatively related to urbanization and wave exposure. This indicates that it is a suitable indicator for pressures related to urbanization, although a confounding effect of wave exposure is possible. Invertebrate abundance responded strongly to eutrophication, but the indicator based on taxonomic composition (Average Score Per Taxon) did not. Our results suggest that our metrics can be applied in Western Balkan lakes, despite the high number of endemic species present in some of these lakes. We argue that local water management should focus on abating the causes of eutrophication and water level fluctuation, whilst preserving sufficient lengths of undeveloped shoreline to ensure good water quality in the long run.

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.

AB  - Sava Lake was created from the right arm of the Sava River, and the inhabitants of Belgrade use the lake intensively for swimming and bathing. We analysed macrozoobenthos and epilithic diatom communities at six sites from April to October 2017, to assess the ecological status of Sava Lake according to the National legislation of Serbia. Considering macrozoobenthos communities, the mean values of Zelinka and Marvan saprobity index indicated high ecological status. In contrast, results obtained from the mean values of BMWP (Biological Monitoring Working Party) scores suggested moderate to poor ecological status. The mean values of the IPS diatom index (Indice de Polluo-sensibilité) indicated high ecological status, while the TDIL index (Trophic Diatom Index for lakes) was slightly more sensitive and indicated good ecological status. Water chemical parameters indicated that Sava Lake was mainly oligotrophic during the study period (average total phosphorus concentrations were 10.7 μgL-1 and average total nitrogen concentrations 410 μgL-1). Before being able to adopt an integrative approach for ecological status assessment (combining two or more biological quality elements), more studies must be performed on how to choose the most sensitive and adequate indices. This is especially true for lakes experiencing intensive anthropogenic pressure during the summer season. Also, the boundary values in the National legislation of Serbia must be adapted for lakes, such as Sava Lake.

AB  - Epilithic diatoms are frequently recommended for river biomonitoring, while much less emphasis is placed on epiphytic communities.
This study considers use of epiphytic and epilithic diatom communities from the Raška River in biomonitoring. A total
of 212 diatom taxa were recorded in both communities. Dominant diatoms were Achnanthidium minutissimum (Kützing)
Czarnecki, A. affine (Grunow) Czarnecki, A. subatomus (Hustedt) Lange-Bertalot, Amphora pediculus (Kützing) Grunow,
Diatoma vulgaris Bory, Gomphonema tergestinum (Grunow) Fricke, Cocconeis placentula var. lineata (Ehrenberg) Van
Heurck, Melosira varians Agardh and Navicula tripunctata (Müller) Bory. Redundancy analysis (RDA) was used to detect
the relationships between diatoms, some environmental factors and sampling sites. Diatoms of the epiphytic community showed
a clearly grouping in relation to the sampling sites as compared with diatoms of the epilithic community. Species common to both
communities showed a similar correlation with some environmental variables (BOD, pH, NH4
+, TP, NO3
− and conductivity),
with three exceptions (Diatoma vulgaris, Cymbella compacta, and Encyonema silesiacum). Pearson’s correlation coefficient
showed correlation between selected environmental variables and diatom indices calculated usingOMNIDIA 6.2 software (TDI,
IPS, CEE, GENRE, TID, SID, SHE and IDSE/5). Diatoms of the epiphytic community are more clearly clustered in relation to
the sampling sites as compared with diatoms of the epilithic community. According to our results there is still Bplace^ in
biomonitoring for epiphytic community. The present study highlights the necessity of sampling both epiphytic and epilithic
communities because substrate specificity could play important role in biomonitoring.

AB  - Trout farms are one of the major sources of
pollution of highland streams and rivers, which are very
sensitive ecosystems otherwise scarcely influenced by
human activities. A trout farm with low annual production
was chosen for comparative monitoring of its effects
on the macrozoobenthos, epilithic diatom, and
potamoplankton communities in the receiving stream.
Research was conducted every 2 months during a period
of 1 year (one control point and three localities downstream from the farm). The fish farm discharge
induced moderate alteration of environmental factors
in the receiving watercourse, viz., significant increase
of the ionized and un-ionized ammonia fraction, dissolved
oxygen concentration, and biological oxygen
demand. Species richness and Simpson’s diversity index
did not change in any of the communities. Correspondent
analysis of potamoplankton community composition
clearly showed trout farm effects, thereby indicating
the need for reevaluation of saprobic valence values for
potamoplankton species. The complete lack of influence
of the trout farm discharge on the epilithic diatom community
is probably due to absence of significant changes
of phosphorus concentration in the receiving stream.
Effects of the trout farm on the macrozoobenthos community
were further characterized by 14 additional
indices. The percentages of Chironomidae larvae,
shredders, and total collectors; ratio of shredders to
collectors; and the family biotic index are suggested
as candidates for future multimetric index for measuring
of trout farm influence.

AB  - The main objective of this paper is to report new
information about the distribution and ecology of a
recently described diatom species, Geissleria gereckei.
The opportunity for updating the information on the
distribution and ecology of the species was provided by
the finding of well-developed G. gereckei populations on
the lithic material and bryophytes in the Raška and Mlava
rivers (Serbia). For several years after the first description,
G. gereckei has been known only from the type locality
and from another spring in the Dolomiti Bellunesi National
Park (the south-eastern Alps). After accurate LM and SEM
observations, we provide evidence for the occurrence
of the species also in the two above-mentioned rivers in
Serbia, as well as in the south-western and south-eastern
Alps. After an extensive literature search, it appears that the
species is known with certainty only from these sites. Our
observations and details from the literature suggest that
the species is able to occupy a much broader ecological
niche than the very-specific one observed at the time of
discovery. The two main determinants for the species’
occurrence appear to be the carbonate nature of the
catchments or aquifers, and the ability of the species to
be competitive in habitats or microhabitats exposed to
seasonal desiccation.

AB  - The main objective of this study was to assess the ecological status of the Mlava River based on
epilithic diatoms and to test the use of diatom indices as a tool for estimating the quality of fl owing waters in
Serbia. Quantitative analysis showed that in April Achnanthidium minutissimum was dominant at each site,
except at the fi fth site, where Amphora pediculus was dominant. In July and September, Achnanthidium
minutissimum, Achnanthidium pyrenaicum, Amphora pediculus, Denticula tenuis, Diatoma vulgaris, Gomphonema
elegantissimum, Cocconeis pseudolineata and Cocconeis placentula var. lineata dominated. Detrended
correspondence analysis (DCA) was used to detect the major patterns of variation in species composition.
The fi rst DCA axis summarizes the distribution of the diatom community, mainly through temperature,
conductivity, oxygen and water hardness gradient. The second DCA axis was weakly correlated with few
variables. Based on the average values of the pollution sensitivity index (IPS), commission for economical
community metric (CEE) and biological diatom index (IBD), the water of the Mlava River belonged to water
class I during all three seasons. Values of the diatom-based eutrophication/pollution index (EPI-D) indicated
class II water quality. According to calculated trophic diatom index (TDI) values, water of the Mlava River
was characterized by intermediate nutrient concentrations during three seasons. Principal components analysis
was used to represent the correlation between diatom indices, and the highest correlation among the selected
diatom indices is seen between EPI-D, IPS and IBD.

The samples were collected in spring (April), summer (July) and autumn 2011, from 6 localities along the river at an altitudes between 640 – 704 m a.s.l. Sampling sites are located before and after trout pond. Epilithic samples were scraped from the surface of stones by brush. Light microscope observations and micrographs were made using a Zeiss AxioImagerM.1 microscope with DIC optics and AxioVision 4.8 software. At least 400 valves were counted in order to calculate relative abundance (%) of each taxon. The biological assessment of water quality was performed calculating diatom indices by OMNIDIA 5.3 software.
A total of 166 taxa belonging to 45 genera were identified in the studied samples. The most numerous were taxa of genus: Nitzschia (26), Navicula (22) and Gomphonema (15). The dominant taxa during spring were Achnanthidium pyrenaicum and Diatoma ehrenbergii, during summer were A. pyrenaicum and Cocconeis placentula var. lineata and during autumn was only C. placentula var. lineata. Diatom richness before trout farm was higher than after, which confirms its impact. The higest diversity was in spring and constantly decreasing through seasons.
The Rasina River was characterized by good to very good ecological status of water, with slightly differences between the values of the diatom indices during the seasons (spring, summer, autumn, respectively).
Fish feed remains can cause enrichment of the water with nutrients (in the form of ammonia, phosphorus, nitrogen) and most often leads to eutrophication which can be seen on the basis of the dominant species during the seasons. Change of dominant species between the seasons in the Rasina River was correlated with the values of nutrients.

AB  - The paper presents data on the composition of epilithic diatoms in the Raška River. Samples were collected by scraping stone surfaces with a brush from 5 localities along the Raška River in April, June, August and November 2011 and March and May 2012. Diatom frustules were cleaned using cold acid method, and mounted on permanent slides. An investigation of the Raška River resulted in description of 106 diatom taxa. The most species rich genera are Navicula (10), Gomphonema (10) and Nitzschia (9), while other genera are presented with one or more species. Detailed floristic analysis of the benthic diatom flora in this river has not been conducted before. Therefore, this paper provides a groundwork for future researches.
AB  - Рад садржи податке о саставу епилитских силикатних алги реке Рашке. Узорци су сакупљани у априлу, јуну, августу и новембру 2011. и у марту и мају 2012. године са пет локалитета дуж реке Рашке, стругањем четком са површине камена. Узорци су третирани стандардном лабораторијском методом и направљени су трајни препарати силикатних алги. Прегледом препарата иден¬тификовано је 106 таксона силикатних алги. Родови најбројнији врстама су: Navicula (10), Gomphonema (10) и Nitzschia (9). Детаљна флористичка анализа бентоских силикатних алги реке Рашке није рађена раније па тиме овај рад даје основу за будућа истраживања
