This paper presents results of measuring the contents of certain bioindicators in samples of digestive gland and lung of mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis). The results were obtained in the framework of the Program for monitoring ecological status in Montenegro from 2009 to 2011 year. Samples were collected from two locations: Kotor-Dobrota (wild mussels) and the site of Bijela (caged mussels). Dynamic of sampling was twice a year, in April and September. In order to estimate the spatial distribution and temporal trends of pollution the results were compared with analysis of biomarkers in the three localities in the Slovenian coastal waters (bays Piran, Koper and Strujan). Biomarker responses showed no differences between these positions in the southern and northern Adriatic.

The paper presents a comparison of measurements of selected organic pollutants in various water matrices, in order to assess the impact of the matrix on the accuracy of pollutant analysis. Selected compounds were from class of phenols (p-nitrophenol, 3,5-dichlorophenol)and organochlorine pesticides (isomers of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH), heptachlor, aldrine, heptahloroepoxide, 4,4'-DDE, dieldrine, endrine, 4,4'-DDD, endrin aldehyde, 4,4'-DDT, endosulfan sulfate). Apart from distilled water and synthetic aqueous matrix (salt addition in distilled water according to DIN EN 12902 standard), natural matrix was also used in the analysis – surface water (River Danube in Novi Sad – DOC (dissolved organic carbon) 2-6 mg/l, suspended matter content 30 mg/l).

In the case that water quality data or even discharge data are missing, pollution loads were calculated as application of appropriate simulation models of pollution transport. Models can be in different levels complexity. Accuracy of the results depends on the accuracy of measurement data. In this study water quality of River Neretva (prediction of BOD pollution loads) is modeled in section from Mostar to Žitomislić using numerical model MIKE 11. Model is calibrated on the basis of available experimental data. Data of another time series are used for verification of last mentioned. The comparative analysis between measured and simulated data showed that MIKE-11 is able to predict sufficiently accurate BOD and DO loads at the catchment outlet.
