“…The majority of the studied SWB fits with morphometry into the core interpretation by Scheffer [3] related to the area (400-10,000 m 2 ) and depth (relative depth <3 m), 17 and 22 SWB, respectively (Fig. 2.1 and Table 2.1; [6][7][8][9][10]). According to scarce data, the share of standing water on the Western Balkan in the national territory is <3% in Albania, and ≈0.45% in Croatia, where freshwater SWE significantly contribute.…”

“…Results conducted in presented SWE suggest nutrient concentrations as main drivers in the ecosystem functioning reflected in increased turbidity, the concentration of dissolved and particulate organic matter, as well as chlorophyll a [6,8,10,25,29]. Share of the macrophyte coverage in the SWE surface, the complexity of macrophyte architecture and fish size structure particularly impact zooplankton component [6,7,25,30].…”

“…: gravel pits, fish ponds, reservoirs, urban ponds and lakes, mainly with strong anthropogenic impact and heavily modified (Table 2.1). Nine of studied SWE are situated within a natural protected area, and a majority of them are without any protection and legislation, and this ratio unfortunately, reflect the worldwide interplay between protected/controlled and threatened SWE [6][7][8][9][10]. From the second half of twentieth century to-date awareness of the importance and conservation of SWB SWE are of great importance providing multiple ecosystem services, e.g., important in irrigation and other agricultural activities, aquaculture, primarily as fish ponds and are destinations for numerous sports and recreational activities, habitat and landscape heterogeneity and species diversity, particularly invertebrates, and crucial habitat for amphibians.…”

The current global rates of human impact intensification in freshwater ecosystems and their surroundings have caused an alarming loss of freshwater biodiversity and functioning across multiple trophic levels. Particularly vulnerable to anthropogenic pressures are small water bodies (SWB). However, the majority of the evidence is limited to a single community, especially macroinvertebrates, thus leaving us uncertain about cross-community multitrophic responses of freshwater

Small lakes and ponds are among the most sensitive ecosystems, vulnerable to changes that have little or no effect on larger water bodies. Therefore this topic should be given more attention around the world. Anthropogenic impacts, which have been extensively researched in larger water bodies, have been barely examined in small lakes and ponds. Considering that most of the studies are related to lakes bigger than 50 ha, a significant knowledge gap was left regarding small lakes and ponds. The same situation is in the Western Balkans, where studies related to pollutants in small lakes and ponds are limited. This chapter presents an overview of studies related to the contamination of small lakes and ponds of the Western Balkans, with special reference to pollution with potentially toxic elements PTEs. Since massive fish mortality happened several times, an assessment of PTEs in fish species Carassius gibelio from small Aleksandrovac Lake in Serbia is presented. The results indicate that fish muscle (meat) was exposed to the lower pressure of PTEs pollution than liver and gills, suggesting that, despite massive fish mortality, there was no risk for human health by fish consumption.Keywords Small water bodies • Fish • Human health risk • Aleksandrovac Lake IntroductionSmall water bodies, including ponds and small lakes, are freshwater ecosystems of high ecological relevance [1]. They occur in practically all terrestrial environments,
