Biological assessment metrics and water chemistry measurements are used to quantify the link between stressors their effects on lake ecosystems, for Water Framework Directive. However, correlations often poor. This is seen as major weaknesses of Directive-related monitoring assessment. We analyzed macrophytes, benthic algae, macroinvertebrates, sediment total phosphorus content in littoral six lakes Western Balkans CORINE land use data estimate nutrient enrichment via runoff from adjacent...
Phytoplankton seasonal succession and spatial heterogeneity were studied in Lake Skadar from February to December 2004. A total of 167 taxa 6 algal divisions observed, with Bacillariophyta being best represented (52.8%). The general pattern phytoplankton was: the spring, Chlorophyta early summer, Cyanobacteria late summer autumn winter. Distinct was observed. central, open part lake (pelagic zone) characterized by dominant euplanktonic species, mostly diatoms, whereas western northwestern...
Concentrations of eleven trace elements (Zn, M n, Cu, Fe, Cr, Ni, Co, Hg, Pb, Cd and As) as well the principal components fish flesh (water%, dry matter%, fat%, protein%, ash% Ca g concentration) were determined in muscles six species (Scardinus knezevici, Alburnus scoranza, Cyprinus carpio, Rutilus prespensis, Anguilla anguilla Perca fluviatilis) collected from Skadar Lake 2016.This study, being first its kind ontenegrin lakes, gave following overall ranking investigated muscle: Zn > Fe n...
Along six transects in each of lakes across the Western Balkans, we collected data for three groups littoral biological water quality indicators: epilithic diatoms, macrophytes, and benthic invertebrates. We assessed relationships between them environmental pressures: nutrient load (eutrophication), hydro-morphological alteration shoreline, level variation, separating effect individual continuous explanatory variables. Lake total phosphorus concentration (TP) showed substantial variation but...
Shallow lakes are specific aquatic systems sensitive to eutrophication, due the constant exchange of nutrients between sediments and water column less capacity buffer external nutrient loading. The aim this work was analyze phytoplankton community in Šasko Lake after gap almost 40 years. A total 88 taxa belonging seven divisions were identified during warm period year (spring summer) 2016. Phytoplankton composition abundance didn’t show spatial heterogeneity, small surface lake wind action,...
Qualitative and quantitative phytoplankton compositions of 10 Montenegrin lakes were investigated in the summer 2007. The obtained results compared with a previous study-period that was undertaken two decades ago. In first period, diatoms numerically dominated community all studied lakes, while second same observed only three ten lakes; other relative contributions green algae, dinoflagellates and/or cyanobacteria increased, contribution decreased. shift composition diversity some indicates...
