The typical living organisms used for biological monitoring of surface waters and their use in applications are presented in the paper. The main focus is on the characterisation and use of freshwater mussels. The paper discusses the role of biomonitoring in surface water supply systems. Three-stage biomonitoring system which has been functioning for 20 years in Water and Wastewater Company (ZWiK Sp. z o.o.) in Lodz is presented as an example. The system employs living organisms such as mussels, perch and luminescent bacteria.

Presence-absence bivalve species data for each Early Jurassic stage along southeastern South America between 20 and 46°S present-day latitude were processed by a set of analytical methods to analyse the palaeolatitudinal patterns of diversity and distribution. The expected decrease in species diversity towards higher latitudes is punctuated by a consistent local diversity increase between 34 and 42°, especially evident during Pliensbachian and Toarcian times, which may be due to an abrupt change in palaeogeography at that latitude, coinciding with the Curicó direct connection to the open ocean and the establishment of an increased variety of habitats within the extensive Neuquén Basin. The proportions of systematic groups show relative increases towards both higher latitudes (Crassatelloidea, Nuculanoidea, Pectinoidea, Monotoidea, Inoceramoidea) and lower latitudes (Trigonioidea, Pholadomyoidea, Limoidea, Lucinoidea). Epifaunal bivalves were dominant during the Hettangian but by Pliensbachian–Toarcian times they were less common than infaunal ones, while semi-infaunal species had low diversities during the whole Early Jurassic. This study suggests that (a) large scale geographical conditions should be taken into account for the analysis of latitudinal diversity trends among benthonic faunas; and (b) latitudinal trends of some living bivalve lineages may have a longer and more complex history than previously thought.

Middle Miocene (Badenian and Sarmatian) bivalve faunas from the Carpathian Foredeep in Poland were analysed in order to determine their potential stratigraphic importance. The study revealed that selected pectinid species are useful to characterize the Badenian substages, but that comparison of pectinid assemblages from Poland and Hungary indicates that subdivision of the Badenian based on pectinids holds true only within individual basins of the Central Paratethys. On the other hand, the strong similarity of the Polish Sarmatian bivalve assemblages to assemblages from other basins of the Fore-Carpathian part as well as from the Euxino-Caspian part of the Paratethyan Province makes the molluscan biozonation of the Eastern Paratethys valid for Poland.

Małże, mimo iż swą wiodącą rolę w stratygrafii miocenu utraciły na rzecz organizmów planktonicznych, wciąż są niezwykle ważne w rozpoziomowaniu osadów powstałych w epikontynentalnych basenach Paratetydy, Przedyskutowano rolę zespołów małżowych w charakteryzowaniu poszczególnych podpięter badenu i sarmatu. Badaniom porównawczym poddano zespoły przegrzebków pochodzące z 5 stanowisk dolnego badenu i 10 stanowisk górnego badenu oraz zespoły małżowe z 5 stanowisk sarmatu polskiej części zapadliska przedkarpackiego. Spośród 5 poziomów zespołów przegrzebków wyróżnionych w osadach miocenu Węgier został stwierdzony tylko poziom Flabellipecten besseri. Diachroniczne pojawianie się przegrzebków i ich ograniczone rozprzestrzenienie wewnątrz Paratetydy Środkowej uniemożliwia wydzielenie w obrębie polskiego badenu dwóch podpoziomów: Pecten revolutus Chlamys elegans i Pecten aduncus-Flabellipecten leythajanus, proponowanych dla badenu Węgier. Zespół przegrzebków z badenu Polski obejmuje 29 gatunków; występowanie 11 gatunków ograniczone jest do dolnego badenu. Dla górnego badenu gatunkami charakterystycznymi są: Aequipecten malvinae, Aequipecten elegans, Flexopecten lilii i Flexopecten scissus. Gatunki z rodzaju Flexopecten wraz z Palliolum bittneri datują najwyższy baden facji basenowej. Datowanie klastycznych osadów sarmatu możliwe jest natomiast dzięki obecności w analizowanych zespołach małżowych gatunków z rodzaju Plicatiforma. W stratygraficznym podziale sarmatu proponowanym przez E. Kojumdziewą i in. (1988) w sarmacie dolnym (wołynie) wyróżniono dwa poziomy współwystępowania: dolny Mactra eichwaldi-Plicatiforma praeplicata pseudoplicata i górny Mactra eichwaldi-Plicatiforma plicara. Skład taksonomiczny zespołów z Bożykowej, Suskrajowic i Śladkowa Małego jest typowy dla poziomu dolnego, podczas gdy obecność gatunku indeksowego Plicatiforma plicata w zespole ze Źrecza jednoznacznie wskazuje na poziom górny. Najmłodsze osady sarmackie datowane na późny wołyn/wczesny bessarab pochodzą z otworu wiertniczego Jamnica S-119 (głęb. 65,0-67,5 m). Brak gatunków indeksowych uniemożliwia dokładne podanie poziomu.

In the mid 1980s the southeast Asian mussel Sinanodonta woodiana (Lea, 1834) was introduced into a lake system that is heated by power plant discharge waters (near Konin in central Poland) along with fish stocking material from Hungary. Currently, this species is abundant in the littoral zones of the five lakes in the system, the initial water cooling reservoir, as well as most of the intake and discharge canals. This species prefers a habitat with a moderate water flow rate (0.05-0.30 m s[^-1]) and a relatively high water temperature (10-30 [degree]C), and it usually forms aggregations. It avoids strong water turbulence and coarse sediments, although it does occur sporadically in the direct vicinity of water intake pumps and water discharge as well as on gravel substrates. The largest aggregation of Sinanodonta woodiana occurred at depths of 1.5-2.5 m. The highest number and biomass of this species was noted in the discharge canal and initial cool.ing reservoir where the water was thee warmest. Population density sometimes exceeded 60 ind m[^-2], while mussel biomass (including the shell) reached as much as 25 kg m[^-2].

For the first time, articulated shells of Anomia ephippium Linnæus, 1758, the bivalve species widely distributed in the Egerian–Late Badenian (latest early Oligocene to late middle Miocene) in the Central Paratethys, are described and illustrated. The most astonishing fact is the presence of a heavily calcified byssus that anchored the animal to hard substrates, which is still preserved inside the byssal notch. The investigated material derives from the Badenian (middle Miocene) Niskowa Formation in the Nowy Sącz Basin, a small intramontane basin situated in the Polish Outer Carpathians. Apart from articulated shells and left valves, the collected material contains some dozen of calcified byssi fixed to rigid substrate, SEM images of which are presented. Examination of the A. ephippium specimens stored in the Polish Academy of Sciences, Museum of the Earth in Warsaw revealed other Paratethyan records of anomiid calcified byssi attached to other specimens of A. ephippium. Finally, the paper provides an overview of the previous studies on the representatives of the genus Anomia Linnæus, 1758 from the Central Paratethys and its specific assignment.

A long-term eustatic cycle (fall and subsequent rise of the global sea level) embraced the late Silurian-Middle Devonian time interval. Potentially, these sea-level changes could drive global biodiversity. The stratigraphic ranges of 204 bivalve genera and 279 gastropod genera included into the famous Sepkoski database allow reconstructing changes in the total diversity and the number of originations and extinctions of these important groups of marine benthic macro- -invertebrates during this interval. None of the recorded parameters coincided with the long-term global sea-level cycle. It cannot be not excluded, however, that the global sea-level changes did not affect the regions favourable for bivalve and gastropod radiation because of regional tectonic mechanisms; neither can it be excluded that the eustatic control persisted together with many other extrinsic and intrinsic controls. Interestingly, the generic diversity of gastropods increased together with a cooling trend, and vice versa. Additionally, the Ludlow, Eifelian, and Givetian biotic crises affected, probably, both fossil groups under study. There was also a coincidence of the relatively high bivalve generic diversity, initial radiation of gastropods and the entire biota, and the diversification of brachiopods with the Early Devonian global sea-level lowstand, and this may be interpreted as evidence of a certain eustatic control on the marine biodiversity.

So far in Poland, the Asian clam Corbicula fluminea has been reported from the Oder (Odra) and Vistula River. Its new population has been discovered in the Warta-Gopło Canal in Konin (central Poland), where water temperature can reach 34°C, as the canal is a part of a power plant lake cooling system. The spatial distribution of C. fluminea was found to be very uneven and that is probably why this species was not found during earlier research. The highest density of C. fluminea was 78 ind.·m-2 at the site where water flow was the fastest (2.49 m·s-1), providing sufficient oxygenation of the water. The results suggest that existing information about the distribution of C. fluminea may be far from complete because the clam can be present also in the habitats that were not regarded as suitable for the species according to earlier reports, and therefore have not been monitored for its presence.

The Late Badenian coralline algae-vermetid reefs and the Early Sarmatian serpulid-microbialite reefs distributed widely in the northeastern and eastern borders of the Carpathian Foredeep Basin contain an excellent bivalve record and show how the bivalve faunas reflected the temporary closure of seaways between the Paratethys and the Mediterranean around 13.3 Ma. within the Late Badenian reefs, 116 bivalve species and three bivalve associations are recognized. After a dramatic change of environmental factors, the Early Sarmatian reefs hosted 12 bivalve species, grouped in four associations. These are thought to have been controlled largely by salinity and to represent decreased and/or fluctuating salinity regimes. An integrated approach, using benthic fauna, sedimentological and isotope data, enabled interpretation of the origin of the serpulid-microbialite reefs. The changes in the palaeogeography of the Paratethys and sea-level oscillations around the Badenian/Sarmatian boundary played an important role in the distribution, extinction and radiation of the bivalves. The definitive closure of the extensive seaway connecting the Paratethys with the Mediterranean caused not only severe extinction of the bivalves inhabiting the sandy facies during the Late Badenian but also the sudden evolution and dispersal of a few opportunistic species that were ancestral forms to Sarmatian taxa. The composition of the bivalve assemblages and the ecological requirements of particular species prove the mixo-mesohaline character of the Sarmatian Sea (30-18[per-mille]) and indicate an eastward decrease in salinity.

The Turonian and Coniacian (Upper Cretaceous) of the Mangyshlak Mts., western Kazakhstan, yielded a rich and relatively complete inoceramid bivalve record. The faunas and their succession correspond to those known from central and eastern Europe, allowing the zonation established in the latter areas to be applied in a virtually identical form. The gaps in the record of the group in Mangyshlak stem from the regional hiatuses in the geological record in the area and do not reflect any biogeographical differences between eastern and central-western Europe. Planktonic foraminifera are rare. Four successive interval range zones can be distinguished: in ascending stratigraphic order, the Helvetoglobotrunaca helvetica, Marginotruncaca pseudolinneiana, Marginotruncana coronata, and Concavotruncana concavata zones. Their correlation with the inoceramid zonation and, consequently, with the chronostratigraphic scheme, is demonstrated. The zonation and chronostratigraphic subdivision as applied in Mangyshlak may easily be applied to other areas of the peri-Caspian region (Caucasus, Tuarkyr, Kopet-Dagh, SE margin of the East-European Craton).
