“…More recent data indicate different degrees of organic pollution in different years and seasons, as well as in different localities in Serbia. Water of the river Sava has been classified as class II [9], classes II and III [7,12], III class [6] or classes III and IV [5]. Sometimes, the quality of the water of the river Sava is defined as in transition from class II to III or III to IV [15].…”

Field analysis of phytoplankton and phytobenthos communities of the river Sava has been performed, from Slovenia to Serbia, in August 2011 and September 2012 at 20 localities. A total number of 256 taxa have been determined, from eight divisions: Cyanobacteria (20), Rhodophyta (1), Dinophyta (6), Cryptophyta (1), Chrysophyta (1), Bacillariophyta (152), Chlorophyta (67) and Euglenophyta (8). In the phytoplankton samples, 188 taxa have been identified and in the phytobenthos samples 153 taxa. The most diverse divisions of phytoplankton of the river Sava were Bacillariophyta (46.28 % of total taxa number) and Chlorophyta (34.57 % of total taxa number). Biomass of phytoplankton was low, and the abundance of phytoplankton communities varied between 65,000 and 412,000 Ind L À1 . The biomass of phytoplankton of the river Sava was in the range of 41 to 564 μg fr. wt. L À1 . The phytobenthos dominated by the division of Bacillariophyta, making 81.7 % of the community. Visible macroaggregations were composed of Cladophora glomerata (Chlorophyta) and Thorea hispida (Rhodophyta).

“…Zooplankton studies refer to the artificial lakes formed on its course [5][6][7][8][9] and the stagnant waters along the riverbanks [10], or it was the subject of saprobiological analysis [11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. There are very few data about the composition and abundance of zooplankton in the river itself.…”

The aim of this study was to examine for the first time the composition of zooplankton community along the greatest part of the Sava River flow. Eighty two zooplankton taxa were collected at the Sava River in September of 2012, 7 Rhizopoda, 8 Ciliophora, 57 Rotifera, 7 Cladocera, 2 Copepoda, and 1 Bivalvia. The number of zooplankton species found at sampling sites varied between 2 and 30. The most diverse group was Rotifera, which comprised 69 % of the total number of recorded taxa. The abundance of zooplankton was low and the abundance of individual zooplankton communities varied between 1 and 36 ind/L, and these results are in accordance with the results of previous works. The similarity indices (Sørensen's and Jaccard's) between the localities studied were rather low, despite relatively close distances between them. The probable reason was that the sites were localized at the sections of the river characterized by different environmental factors.

The study of aquatic Oligochaeta in freshwaters in Serbia contributes to the oligochaete fauna inventory of the Balkans. Based on our results and literature review, 97 species (45 genera from 8 families) are listed in the running waters of Serbia. From the list of 61 species recorded during our investigation, 12 were noted for the first time. The ecological analysis of Oligochaeta communities showed the largest participation of potamal and rhithral species. As regards current preferences, rheolimnophilous species predominated, and with respect to feeding type, collectors prevailed. Most of the species are tolerant to moderate and high organic load. According to microhabitat preferences, three types of rivers stood out, as follows: (1) pelophilous (dominance of L. hoffmeisteri); (2) psammophilous (dominance of S. heringianus); (3) phytophilous (dominance of N. bretscheri). Analyses of the relation to different types of waterbodies showed regularity in the distribution of oligochaetes, with a higher species richness in main watercourses (types 1 and 2), and a lower species richness in tributaries (types 3, 4 and 6). According to the dominant taxa, the running waters of Serbia can be classified into four groups which are characterized by the prevalence of naidids (naidins and tubificins), enchytraeids and lumbriculids. Our results show that community composition is a good indicator of the horizontal distribution of Oligochaeta.
