Summary: War operations in the year of 1991 on the area of Slavonija and Baranja interrupted started ecological investigations of Kopački rit Reserve. So, samples taken before the war was particularly analised in exile in Zagreb and particularly under the war conditions in Osijek. Given results present an ecological state of Kopački rit Reserve just before the war and can be useful in peace for ecological restoration of this very specific flooded area of Danube River. Unfortunately, Kopački rit is still ocupated area, so still unaccessible for our investigations. From this reason, researcher Melita Mihaljević chosen fishponds in Donji Miholjac for the investigation of the influence of fishstock to the development of phytoplankton. We also took samples from the Drava river and from some ponds in Osijek. Some researchers did not performs their duties, so they are proposed for turning off from the project financing.

Keywords: phytoplankton ecology, biomass, floral similarity, chlorophyll-a, primary production, water quality, biomanipulation, Stara Drava channels, Kopački rit, fishponds in Donji Miholjac, Drava river,

Research goals: Coincident to changes of ecosystem on the bases of qualitativeand quantitative compositions changes of phytoplankton.Determination : trophic lavel of ecosystem, waterquality, the anthropogenic influence on eutrophication andnegative influence of war operations. Obtain results use inprotections of investigated and simillar localities.
