ABSTRACT

The malacofauna of the Dyje River, including the lower sections of its five tributaries, is still rich and diversified despite the pollution, regulation and building of several dam reservoirs. In total, 42 freshwater mollusc species (24 gastropods, 18 bivalves) were found at 75 sites. The richest malacofauna (30 species) was recorded in the lower section of the Dyje. Populations of endangered or rare molluscs Theodoxus danubialis, Viviparus acerosus, Lithoglyphus naticoides, Unio crassus, Pseudanodonta complanata, Pisidium amnicum and P. moitessierianum were found. The first three species inhabit only the area under study in the Czech Republic. Especially the occurrence of Unio crassus corresponds with river sections that were only partly affected by human activities (long distance below dam reservoirs, less polluted sections, unregulated watercourses). The occurrence of five invasive species, four originating from other continents (Potamopyrgus antipodarum, Physella acuta, Ferrissia fragilis, Sinanodonta woodiana) and one (Dreissena polymorpha) originally Ponto-Caspian, was confirmed for the Dyje River and its tributaries. The Dyje River formed the main invasion route from the Danube River into Moravia (eastern part of the Czech Republic).
