“…We have also detected genotoxic pollution in the Danube River in studies performed on Barbus barbus [47] and Sinanodonta woodiana [48], as well as in the tributary Velika Morava by S. woodiana [21]. Moreover, the deterioration of water quality of the Danube River and the Danube tributaries by anthropogenic impact was shown in our previous studies [48][49][50][51][52].…”

Genotoxicity monitoring of the lower stretch of the Sava River was performed by the combined approach of in situ assessment of genotoxicity and active biomonitoring of two species of mussels from the Unionidae family, Unio pictorum and Unio tumidus. Genotoxic response was studied using comet assay on hemocytes. For active biomonitoring, the mussels were acclimated to controlled laboratory conditions for 10 days and then exposed at two sites in the Sava River in the area of the city of Belgrade. Hemolymph of exposed specimens of each species was taken after 7, 14, and 30 days of exposure. For in situ assessment, the mussels were collected from five sites in the lower flow of the Sava River. The mussels were sampled immediately after the acclimation served as controls in both types of monitoring procedures. The results of our studies indicated the presence of genotoxic pollution at all studied sites at the Sava River. The level of DNA damage varied at different sites depending on the source and level of pollution. The response to genotoxic pollution was evident at the site in the urban area of Belgrade city, as well as at the sites far from the large urban settlements, suggesting that the lower flow of the Sava River is under pollution pressure.

“…Mentioned parameters represent an indicator of faecal wastewater discharges (Thurston et al, 1981;Randall and Tsui, 2002;Kirschner et al, 2009;Kolarević et al, 2011), and therefore observed variations in DNA damage should be linked to pollutants which could be found in urban wastewaters. The study of White and Rasmussen (1998) demonstrated that organic extracts of domestic wastewaters can have considerable genotoxic potential.…”

“…It is sold in garden centres as a "biofilter" for garden ponds (Packet et al, 2009) 7. It is used in monitoring genotoxicity (Woźnicki et al, 2004;Kolarević et al, 2011;Ciparis et al, 2015) 2011, 2013; Spyra et al, 2012;Andrzejewski et al, 2013), although it has also been observed in other types of aquatic environments on a few occasions (Beran, 2002;Andrzejewski et al, 2012).…”

-The increasingly frequent appearance of invasive species of mussels is a common phenomenon nowadays. Their rapid expansion is a significant component of the global changes that pose a great ecological impact and a serious threat to the diversity of native fauna. This study documents new localities of occurrence of Sinanodonta woodiana in Poland. We also attempted to determine its density, biomass, morphometric features and age structure. We found that its presence is clearly related to temperature and that the current range of its occurrence in Poland mostly overlaps with the areas with the highest average annual temperatures. The study showed significant differences in mean density between the fishponds: on particular sites the density amounted to 9 individuals/m 2 and their biomass exceeded 3000 g/m 2 . ANOVA revealed significant differences in the mean dimensions of the shells between the three fishponds related to their height and width. Seven-year-old individuals were the most numerous while one-, two-, five-and six-yearold specimens were the most numerous in pond 2. In our opinion, S. woodiana has created a permanent population that is probably able to breed. This is confirmed by the appearance of one-year-old individuals as well as the other younger age classes.Keywords: invasive species / S. woodiana / new records / mussel Résumé -L'expansion de la moule invasive Sinanodonta woodiana (Lea, 1834) en Polognenouvelles localisations et structure de population. L'apparition de plus en plus fréquente d'espèces envahissantes de moules est un phénomène fréquent. Leur rapide expansion est une composante importante des changements globaux qui causent un fort impact écologique et une grave menace pour la diversité de la faune indigène. Cette étude documente de nouvelles localités d'implantation de Sinanodonta woodiana en Pologne. Nous avons également tenté de déterminer la densité, la biomasse, les caractéristiques morphométriques et la structure d'âge. Nous avons constaté que sa présence est clairement liée à la température et que la gamme actuelle de sa localisation en Pologne recouvre principalement les zones où les températures annuelles moyennes sont les plus élevées. L'étude a montré des différences significatives de la densité moyenne entre les étangs : sur des sites particuliers, la densité est élevée à 9 individus/m 2 et la biomasse a dépassé 3000 g/m 2 . L'ANOVA a révélé des différences significatives dans les dimensions moyennes de hauteur et largeur des coquilles entre trois étangs. Des individus de sept ans étaient les plus nombreux en 1 alors que les spécimens de un, deux, cinq et six ans étaient les plus nombreux dans l'étang 2. À notre avis, S. woodiana a créé une population permanente qui est probablement en mesure de se reproduire. Ceci est confirmé par l'apparition d'individus âgés d'un an ainsi que la présence d'autres classes d'âge jeunes.
