In this paper is given the comparative review of investigation of the macrophytic vegetation and ichthyofauna in 4 localities (Grasnica, Gradiste, Veli Dab, and Cerava) from the littoral region of the Lake Ohrid. In the investigated localities are evidenced macrophytic species and fish species as bioindicators for saprobility. Based on the obtained results, it can be concluded that qualitative composition of macrophitic vegetation and ichthyofauna are different and depend from locatities where investigated made.

During 2005-2006 the seasonal researches were taken place aiming to investigate the influence of the urban waste water on the qualitative and quantitative structure of the community of macrozoobenthos in Gabrovacka river. For this purpose five sites were determined and the sampling of the macrozoobenthos was organized on the seasonal level using Surber net.

The paper presents the results of aquatic macroinvertebrates community analyses of the Moravica river with the aim to evaluate saprobiological status. Sampling were carried out tree localities during 2003 and 2004.

Ecological status of protected area of Ponjavica water body, evaluated using hydromorphological, basic physico-chemical and selected biological quality elements, can be indicated as very bad. The accerelated eutrophication process this water body (once running now stragnant water) undergoes, leads to hypereutrophic current condition, with clear trend towards dystrophy.

Research of phytoplankton is conducted in different seasons during 2004 and 2005. River Bojana and Ada Bojana are analyzed on several locations. The objective of research is based on algae as reliable indicator of water quality and ecological condition of water. We would like to show the need for protection of these water ecosystems from permanent contamination, basically sewage waste. Saprobiotic index is determined by Gulyas Pal method. Pantle Buck method is used to calculate saprobiotic level. Chlorophyll A is analyzed by spectrophotometer. Presence of Cyanophytae was established.

Composition of benthic macroinvertebrates and phytoplankton were examined during the period of July-November 2006, for purposes of freshwater quality assessment in protected area of Jegricka water body. Results of research show intensive sedimentation of organic matter in river bed, which is caused by eutrophication processes and small flow velocity in this canalized river of Vojvodina.

Recent surveys of river Tisza (Serbia) have shown that class Oligochaeta is commonly present as dominant member of benthic macroinvertebrate community. Knowing the fact that this class is very good indicator of organic upload in aquatic ecosystem, in this paper it is used for saprobiological water quality assessment of middle and lower stream of river Tisza in summer of 2002, 2004 and 2005. Results presented as saprobiological indices, showed that water quality of river Tisza (Serbia) was alfa-mesosaprobioc (the third class) during research period.

Microbiological and saprobiological characteristics of river Moraca and Skadar lake for period of 2004/2005 are done at localities: Pernica, Moraca estuary and Vranjina (Skadar Lake). The objective of the research is to establish quality of water of these aquatic ecosystems based on microbiological and saprobiological analyses, as well as, to show need for protection of these water ecosystems from permanent contaminations, mainly by sewage should be pointed out. Saprobiological index is determined based on Gulyas Pal, and Pantle Buck is used to determine saprobiological level.

This paper presents the results of the examinations of phytoplankton community of the Tamis river from March 2003 till December 2004. During the investigation it was determined 136 algal taxa from 6 divisions: Cyanophyta (10 taxa), Chrysophyta (1 taxa), Bacillariophyta (66 taxa), Pyrhophyta (4 taxa), Euglenophyta (14 taxa) and Chlorophyta (41 taxa). The contents and the structure analysis of phytoplankton as well as saprobiological valorization of water quality, has been carried out in the Republic Hydrometeorological Service of Serbia. Results of quality and quantitative analysis point to domination of Bacillariophyta and Chlorophyta. The index of saprobity given on the basis of Pantle-Buck method indicated that the quality of water of Tamis river on Jasa Tomic border locality belonged to beta and beta-alfa mesosaprobic category.

The results of the examination point out on heterogenity of the phytoplankton community. The presence of 212 taxa has been noted. In the way of quality the green algae are dominant. In all the aspects of the quantitative analysis the domination of Bacillariophyta has been noted, first of all the centric forms. The amount of nutrients on the locality of border with Hungary is considerable, thus during low water and high temperature, the intensive algae development is usual.
