Amplified and accelerated eutrophication process is a characteritic of a whole variety of small and medium-sized water-bodies, such as channel systems, microreservoirs, ponds, lakes and bank regions of many even bigger ecosystems. During the process, in relatively short period of time, the upper capacity limit of a certain biotop is far too exceeded, which leads to reduced ability of ecosystem's autopurification. As a consequence of such degradation, ecosystem faces a serious discrepancy between members of a biocenosis e.g. in ration producers/consumers/decomposers, which, in the end, causes destruction, e.g. dystrophy of the hydroecosystem. The introduction of diverse fish communities, can, therefore, be one of the basic measures for enabling a sustainable trophic stability, in a sense of keeping a dynamic balance. This measure includes carefully planed fish community - it should consist of three basic components of a trophic food web (planktivore and macrophytovore, bentivore and carnivore). Apart from enabling certain biodiversity considering particular fish species (both quantitative and qualitative), care must be inevitably taken of age structure, as well as fish stock and fishing dynamic, concerning the number, quantity and age.

A complex ichthyological analysis of the individual sections of the DTD (Danube-Tisza-Danube)-Backa canal system (Serbia, Yugoslavia) performed during 1996 vegetation period 23 fish species from 7 families. On the basis of the occurrence and abundance of indicators and limnosaprobic parameter, water quality of the analyzed canal sections was found to be beta-mesosaprobic index ranging from 2.15 to 2.21. The obtained results show that water quality of this DTD (Danube-Tisza-Danube) canal sections (Bajski Kanal, Odzaci-Sombor, Vrbas-Bezdan and Novi Sad-Savino Selo canals) corresponds to its purpose. The fish community representing an important factor of a whole aquatic biocenose, in addition to its undoubtedly indicator values also representing an active factor in the process of selfpurification and quality preservation of whole hydrosystem.
