Various physical, chemical and biological methods are used in complex investigations which are aimed at determining the quality of water. One of the oldest but also most widely accepted biological mathods is determination of saprobity on the basis of bioindicators. In application of these methods the existing lists of the indicators are most frequently used (Sladacek 1973, SEV 1977). In these lists only nine types of red algae (Rhodophyta) are specified as indicators of water quality. One of the main trends in development of algaeology in Serbia (Yugoslavia) is investigation of autoecological properties of algae and making a list of water quality indicator algae suited to the specific ecological conditions in water ecosystems of Serbia (Yugoslavia). The objective of this paper is to present information about apperance of red algae in the rivers of Serbia (Yugoslavia) and influence of physico-chemical factors upon their development, which represents a contribution to making of the above mentioned list of the water quality indicator algae.
