AB  - The level of genotoxic pollution was assessed along the Danube River and its most significant tributary Sava River by measuring the level of DNA damage in aquatic organisms collected from the selected sites. The Danube River survey was conducted within the Joint Danube Survey 3 project in 2013 on 34 sites along the 2285 rkm using mussels (Unio sp.) and fish (Alburnus alburnus) as bioindicators. The Sava River survey was conducted within the Globaqua project in 2015 at 12 sites along 900 rkm using fish (A. alburnus/Alburnoides bipunctatus) as bioindicators. The level of DNA damage was evaluated by the comet assay in haemocytes of mussels and blood cells of fish. The level of faecal pollution along the rivers was studied in parallel with genotoxicological surveys by using the standard indicators, total coliforms, Escherichia coli and Enterococci. Quantification was performed with Colilert/Enterolert Quanti-Tray 2000 and MPN approach. Quantitative PCR (qPCR)-based assays for analysis of human- or animal-associated genetic Bacteroidetes faecal markers have been used for tracking the source of pollution (microbial source tracking -MST). The human-associated BacHum and HF183II, the ruminantassociated BacR and the pig-associated Pig2Bac fecal markers were selected. The hotspots of faecal pollution were detected at both rivers. Presence of pollution was especially evident in the countries in which the legislation related to wastewater treatment and management is not fully implemented. In the case of the Danube River the most critical section of the river was the Pannonian plain (sector VI) while in the case of the Sava River the most affected section was the lower stretch of the river. The results of MST revealed the presence of human-associated fecal markers BacHum and HF183II in the majority of the analyzed samples. High correlation was observed between the standard fecal indicators and human associated faecal markers. Within the Danube survey, the highest levels of DNA damage were recorded in organisms from the section
VI, which is under the impact of untreated wastewater discharges. In 2013 the Sava River was characterized with a lower level of both faecal and genotoxic pollution in comparison with the Danube. Similar observations were found within the Sava River survey in 2015 where the level of DNA damage in fish specimens from Sava was lower in comparison with the samples from the Danube. At both rivers detected genotoxic potential was traceable to the deterioration of quality by communal and industrial wastewaters.

AB  - Coupled measurements of nitrate (NO3-), nitrogen (N), and oxygen (O) isotopic composition (delta N-15(NO3) and delta O-18(NO3)) were used to investigate the sources and processes of N cycling, while the microbial source tracking (MST) method was used to identify microbiological pollution in the surface water of the Sava River Basin (SRB) in autumn in 2014 and 2015 during high and low water discharge. Atmospheric nitrate deposition or nitrate-containing fertilizers were found not to be significant sources of riverine nitrate in the SRB. The ranges of isotope values suggest that NO3- in the SRB derives from soil nitrification, sewage, and/or manure, which were further supported by MST analysis. Microbiological indicators show the existence of hotspots of fecal pollution in the SRB, which are human associated. Long-term observations indicate persistent fecal contamination at selected locations caused by continuous discharge of untreated wastewaters into the SRB.

AB  - Extreme hydrological events, such as water scarcity and flooding, can modify the effect of other stressors present in aquatic environment, which could result in the significant changes in the ecosystem functioning. Presence and interaction of various stressors (genotoxic pollutants) in the environment can influence the integrity of DNA molecules in aquatic organisms which can be negatively reflected on the individual, population and community levels. Therefore, in this study we have investigated the impact of flooding, in terms of genotoxicity, on organisms belonging to different trophic levels. The study was carried out on the site situated in the lower stretch of the Sava River which faced devastating effects of severe flooding in May 2014. The flooding occurred during our field experiment and this event provided a unique opportunity to assess its influence to the environment. The in situ effects of this specific situation were monitored by measuring physical, chemical and microbiological parameters of water, and by comparing the level of DNA damage in coelomocytes and haemocytes of freshwater worms Branchiura sowerbyi, haemocytes of freshwater mussels Unto tumidus and blood cells of freshwater fish Abramis bjoerkna/Abramis sapa, by means of the comet assay. Our study indicated that the flooding had a significant impact on water quality by decreasing the amount and discharge rate of urban wastewaters but simultaneously introducing contaminants from the nearby fly ash disposal field into river by runoff, which had diverse effects on the level of DNA damage in the studied organisms. This indicates that the assessment of genotoxic pollution in situ is strongly affected by the choice of the bioindicator organism.

AB  - The aim of this study is to present the distribution of aquatic molluscs along a 2600 km long stretch of the Danube River based on information obtained during the Second Joint Danube Survey (JDS2) in 2007. The collected data are used to validate the abiotic typology of the Danube River and to determine the extent of variations in mollusc richness and composition that can be explained by the basic habitat characteristics of the sites. The examination of the distribution of mollusc fauna reveals differences between the three main sectors of the river, the Upper, Middle and Lower Danube. The Iron Gate Section was identified as the boundary between the Middle and Lower, Danube. A total of 42 aquatic mollusc species-group taxa of 14 families are detected within the study area. The Middle and Upper sectors are characterised by higher species richness and diversity as compared to the Lower Danube.

AB  - The aim of this study was to use the data on the distribution of aquatic macroinvertebrates obtained from 14 sites within a 413 km long stretch of the Danube River in Serbia to show the relevance of the bordering zone between the Middle and Lower Danube. A total of 68 macroinvertebrate taxa were observed. Molluscs were the major component with regard to species richness and relative abundance. Lithoglyphus naticoides (C. Pfeiffer, 1828) was the most abundant species and Unio tumidus (Retzius, 1788) was the most frequent species. Product-moment correlation coefficients or Pearson r coefficient was used to analyse the relation between the sites based on macroinvertebrate distribution. The data obtained by product-moment correlation served as input for cluster analyses. According to a cluster analyses Danube River in Serbia could be separated in the free-flowing sector, the stretch with a backwater effect and the area of the Iron Gate.

AB  - The multidisciplinary socio-economic study of fisheries in the bordering part of the Danube River between Serbia and Croatia (at the following sites: Apatin, Baka Palanka, Bako Novo Selo, Bezdan, and Sombor) that was performed in order to investigate various aspects of fish resource utilization (management, policy of protection and exploitation of freshwater fishery resources, present fisheries legislation, catch statistics), was realized during 2004 and 2005. Data were collected via survey with a structured interview. Socio-economic circumstances, together with ecological factors, have had an influence on the fish stock and number of commercial fishermen. Awareness of the occurring problems, both economic and ecological ones, is apparent, regardless of whether it is assessed in the field of commercial or recreational fishing. Fishery sector in Serbia is in a prolonged process of transition, with the enforcement of fishing regulations, but also the lack of control that leaves space for illegal commercial fishing. The statements, consciousness, experience and behavior of commercial fishermen represent a good basis for planning the sustainable development of fishing in this section of the Danube River.

abstract = "The multidisciplinary socio-economic study of fisheries in the bordering part of the Danube River between Serbia and Croatia (at the following sites: Apatin, Baka Palanka, Bako Novo Selo, Bezdan, and Sombor) that was performed in order to investigate various aspects of fish resource utilization (management, policy of protection and exploitation of freshwater fishery resources, present fisheries legislation, catch statistics), was realized during 2004 and 2005. Data were collected via survey with a structured interview. Socio-economic circumstances, together with ecological factors, have had an influence on the fish stock and number of commercial fishermen. Awareness of the occurring problems, both economic and ecological ones, is apparent, regardless of whether it is assessed in the field of commercial or recreational fishing. Fishery sector in Serbia is in a prolonged process of transition, with the enforcement of fishing regulations, but also the lack of control that leaves space for illegal commercial fishing. The statements, consciousness, experience and behavior of commercial fishermen represent a good basis for planning the sustainable development of fishing in this section of the Danube River.",

AB  - Specimens of the freshwater snail Holandriana holandrii affected by different levels of contamination were collected from 3 sites within the Bosna River Basin, i.e. Visoko, Doboj, and Modrica. The activities of antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione reductase (GR), and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) were investigated in order to understand their variation with respect to the pollution status of the sampling locations. The results revealed a significant increase in CAT, GPx, and GST activities in the snails collected from Modrica, suggesting that the animals at this location are exposed to a higher level of oxidative stress as compared to those from Visoko and Doboj. On the other hand, increased SOD activity measured in specimens from Visoko was indicative of the presence of increased levels of superoxide anion radical. No snails from any location were significantly exposed to organic pollution, since its concentration in the whole body homogenates was below the limit of detection. Our findings show that changes in antioxidant enzymes and GST activity can be used as parameters in environmental monitoring programs.

AB  - In this study, we investigated the level of sanitary pollution and organic contamination of the Velika Morava River, the largest river in central Serbia. Samples of water for microbiological analysis were collected at 5 sites, monthly, from April 2010 to February 2011. Sanitary analysis, i.e. enumeration of total and fecal coliforms and intestinal enterococci, indicated moderate to critical fecal contamination, while organic load assessment (oligotroph to heterotroph ratio, index of phosphatase activity) revealed the category of moderately polluted water. We also investigated seasonal variations of these groups of bacteria and the factors that could contribute to these differences. Our results showed that the microbiological quality of the water in the Velika Morava River during different seasons is affected by numerous factors such as unequal loading of wastewaters, solar irradiation, and relations of flow/dilution and rainfall/runoff.

AB  - The aim of this work was to examine the impact of urban wastewaters on the water quality of the Danube River in Serbia. Samples of water and sediments for microbiological analysis and genotoxicity monitoring were collected from 6 sites during spring and/or autumn 2010. Sanitary analysis, i.e. enumeration of total and fecal coliforms and intestinal enterococci, indicated moderate to critical fecal contamination, while organic load assessment (oligotroph to heterotroph ratio, index of phosphatase activity) revealed the category of moderately polluted water. Mercury-resistant bacteria were detected in all water samples, with high numbers at locations positioned downstream of Belgrade. There was no correlation of the microbiological parameters of the sediment and water samples. Genotoxicity monitoring, performed by the comet assay on hemocytes of mussels Sinanodonta woodiana, indicated a significant increase of DNA damage in mussels collected from the studied sites compared with the control group.
