Abstract. It is to be established, on the basis of the
systematic investigation of the Lower Tisza Region for ten years
that the water of the river has been polluted and deteriorated
in its quality. At present, we can only see at classifying the
quality of the water that for collective water supply and for
fish husbandry it is of second class.
It is shown by our investigations that the solute oxygen content
decreases, the amount of organic matter increases in these
reaches. From time to time, the oxygen quantity consumed for
oxidizing the organic and inorganic compounds is raised by
passing dog n of sewage-waters. The salt content of water
increase of sodium content is shown by the results obtained at
our sampling site below the inflow of the Maros, at Tiszasziget
the frontier of the county. Nitrates occur in a considerable
quantity. The quantity of ammonia is indifferent because the
water supply of the population comes in this stretch not from
the eater of the river. By the richness in nutritive material,
in case of slow water flow, an algal-multiplication of large
mass is induced as a result of light. The increasing,
mineral-oil pollution also draws the attention to the protection
of the water quality of the river.

M. Horváth, M. and F. Kemenes, K. (1979): Water investigations of the Triple-Körös. Tiscia 14:19-23.
Abstract. We have investigated into the quality of water from samples
taken at Magyartés and Kunszentmárton. It could be established
that the water of the Triple-Körös at the sampling site in the
neighbourhood of Magyartés is of first class from any points of
view of utilization. The water samples taken at Kunszentmárton,
however, showed that the water quality was influenced by the
inflowing sewage-water. It is nonetheless obvious on the basis
of the seven years long investigation that the Triple-Körös is
our clearest river water, its pollution is of very small degree.

Hegeűs, M., Kiss, P. and Berényi, L.(1979): Salmonellae in the surface waters of Csongrád county. Tiscia 14:25-39.
Abstract. Authors studied obligate and facultative fecal bacteria in the
surface waters of Csongrád county from 1976 to 1977. Samples
were taken monthly in general. In this paper, however, only the
Salmonella pollution of the Tisza and its tributaries are
reported. From June, 197G to December, 1977, 317 water samples
were enriched for the purpose of Salmonella examinations.
During 1976, 173 Salmonella strains were isolated and found to
belong to 26 serotypes.
In 1977, 295 Salmonella strains were isolated and these belonged
to 30 serotypes.
The Salmonella infection of the surface waters of Csongrád
county as well as the spatial and time distribution of isolated
Salmonella serotypes are demonstrated in figures and tables.

Kiss, I. (1979): Algological investigations in the dead ars of the river Tisza at Tiszaalpár and Tiszaug. Tiscia 14:41-61.
Abstract.
The present paper briefly summarizes the alga
flora and vegetation of two dead arms of the Tisza river on the
basis of investigations made between 1975-1978. In the two biotops, 258 species or intra-species taxons were found. Beyond
the respects of nature conservation, the investigation was
prompted mainly by the fact that the two bodies of standing
water would have different fates in the future. The smaller one
at Tiszaug remains a dead arm utilized as a fishery in the
future. The larger one at Tiszaalpár and its wider surroundings
will be included by a reservoir of the future TiszaIII barrage
where the dammed up water will be utilized for agricultural
irrigation and recreation purposes. Hydrobiological-algological
aspects of the tasks to be done before building the water
reservoir are also discussed.

Fintha, I. (1979): Revision of the home distribution of Wolffia arrhiza (L.). Tiscia 14:71-79.
Abstract. Our smallest
floriferous plant, Wolffia arrhiza (L.) HORKEL ex WIMMER
1857, is wide-spread in all flat areas of Europe, till the
latitude of 15 north, resp. till the July isothermic line of 18
°C (in North-western Europe: 17 °C) where there is enogh
eutrophic standing water, rich in nutritive matters. In
countries lying in the north, full of mountains or having a dry
climate, it is very rare or is entirely missing.
In our country, its distribution
is fairly scattered although it is imaginable that, after a
close scrutiny, we may obtain knowledge of much more habitats.
It was known earlier only from the middle and south-easternn
parts of the territory east of the river Tisza when, in 1972, I
found it closed to the community Túrricse in county Szatmár. In
the following years, I found more and more localities of it in
that region and it proved to live in many places in the flatland
of Szatmár-Bereg and even its newer occurrences in large numbers
are to be expected.
In this region, it occurs mostly
among Spirodela polyrrhiza, Lemna minor, Salvinia natans,
Utricularia vulgaris, sporadically Lemna trisulca, etc. in
various, convenient associations. Its ratios related to the
enumerated species give in the surveys, on the average, 60 to 80
per cent values (Its characteristics are: A-D=between 3-5, resp.
4-5 (5-5); K= (in every case) V). It is not rare in pure stands.
Our knowledge of its ecology,
dispersion is sketchy and we are sure of that further
investigation of these questions will furnish several more
pieces of information.
Its suggested protection also
means the necessity of protecting the water habitats. This is
equally justified by its being scientifically and economically
considerable.
Bodrogközy, Gy. and Horváth, I. (1979): Effect of lasting floods on the species composition and organic-matter production of the marshy meadow-lands in the floodplains of the Tisza. Tiscia 14:81-88.
Abstract. In the grasslands of floodplains enclosed between th levees of the Tisza, two associations may be separated. In the sections on higher levels Lythro (virgatae)-Alopecuretum pratensis Bodrogk. 77 is dominant and in those on lower levels Carici (melanostachyae)-Alopecuretum pratensis Soó 71, showing a transition towards the flood-plain Magnocaricion. As a result of the lasting water-covering, the meadow association, composed by species components that require hygro-mesophilic environmental essential conditions, changes into a flood-plain grass-land of helo-hygrophilous character. In the years free from lasting flood-waves, the regeneration of Lythro-Alopecuretum begins. As an intermediary stage, a meadow overgrown with weeds develops. The development of this can be hastened by the missing of regular mowings. Consequently, the seeds of Glycyrrhiza echinata, Lythrum salicaria, Iris pseudacorus, Glyceria maxima and of other species will be spread by the floods. Their fast multiplication prevents, therefore, the spread of Alopecurus pratensis.
Horváth, I. and Margóczi, K. (1979): Region reconstruction of the Tisza dead-arm at Lakitelek on the basis of the ecological investigations performed in Tőserdő. Tiscia 14:89-104.
Abstract. It can be ascertained on the
basis of the plant ecological investigations carried out in Tőserdő and the
Tisza Dead-Arm at Lakitelek that these
Tisza reaches, in spite of the anthropogenous effects, are
suitable for the region reconstruction. In the forests along the Dead-Tisza several autochthonous tree
species revive even today and the
macrovegetation of the
dead-arm is abundant, as well.
Conditions of executing the region
reconstruction are:
(a) Owing to the siltation of the river bed taking place since the
river control, rising of the water-surface of the dead arm by 1 to 1.5 m.
(b) Safeguarding a slow flowing through the dead-arm, in compliance
with the water movement, corrensponding to the meanders before the
river-control. After creating these
physical conditions. the reintroduction of the plant and animal
species which were characteristic of the water and riverside
associations but exterminated because of
anthropogenous effects.
Kozma, A. and Tölgyesi, Gy. (1979): Plant associations of flood plains along the middle Tisza and their agricultural utilization. Tiscia 14:105-122.
Abstract. The authors have
investigated some flood-plain areas belonging to the Middle Tisza Region and extending south of Kisköre and Abádszalók till Pusztataksony, from the points of view of their economic
usefulness, as well as the macro- and
micro-element content of the plant
associations. The soil of the river-side and the flood-plain areas is a middling
acid fresh alluvial soil. The humus content and the flood-plain areas is a
middling acid fresh alluvial soil changes between 1 and 1.42
percent, the pH between 5.3 and 5.6 (measured in nKCL).
According to the establishment of the
authors, the investigated areas are utilized first of all forest-economically and only
10-12 percent grassy area utilized with mowing, resp. paturing. With the
intensive Canadian poplar plantation the original
willow-poplar-ash plant association strongly decreases and the
original plant cover of the shrub and herb stratum of the forest
association also considerably changes. As a result of the more
and more frequently arising region conservation problems, it is
pressing and justified, to declare these areas a Region
Conservation District!
In the course of investigating into the
macro- and micro-element content of plant species of the plant
association in the flood-plain areas, the authors have ascertained that the
mean values of the macro- and micro-element content of the plant associations the river-side and in the flood-plain exceeded in
every case the mean values of the meadow-hay of good quality. The authors have
examined the plant species 6 macro- and 7
micro-elements in a double repetition (in
spring and autumn aspects).
Obradovic, M. and Budak, V. (1979): Research into flora of the southern part of the Tisa basin. Tiscia 14:123-130.
Abstract. In the
present paper particular attention is devoted to the
distribution, immigration and naturalization of alien species.
Asclepias syriaca L. has been known to be cultivated and
to live in wild state in the region investigated since the begining of this
century. It is naturalized, common species in !he whole region
of the southern part of the Tisa Basin.
Echinocystis lobata (Michx.) Torr. et Gray had not been
recorded for this region until 70's. Nowadays it is very
common in the natural vegetation. These two North American
species mentioned above escaped from the cultures.
Typha laxmannii Lepech. belongs to the group of the
adventive plant species from the East.
This plant species was recorded for the first time for the
southern part of Vojvodina Province around the middle of this decade. It
is characterized by evident distribution, in the central parts
of the Tisa Basin
particularly. In the Cattail vegetation it probably forms
sparse indipendent subassociation.
Phacelia tanacetifolia Benth. This Californian species was recorded for the
southern part of the Tisa Basin (nearby Stari Becej) in 1929. It is
melliferous, cultivated plant which
lives in wild state in ruderal vegetation. Recently we have found this
beautiful adventive ephemerophyte in the surroundings of
Zrenjanin and Djala.
Nicandra physaloides (L.) Gartn., garden species from Peru, recorded for the
region of Banat by Heffel in 1858. In
1929 this species was found in wild state in ruderal vegetation nearby Stari BeCej. We have
found this plant species on the similar habitat between Coka and
Ostojicevo since last year, where it is
uncommon.
Pujin, V. and Stanojevic, M. (1979): Hidrobiologische Untersuchungen des unteren Theisslauf. Tiscia 14:131-138.
Abstract. Diese
Arbeit umfasst die
Ergebnisse der physikalisch-chemischen
Untersuchungen, sowie der Zooplanktonzusammensetzung des unteren
Theisslaufs im Zeitraum 1975-1977.
Hinsichtlich der physikalisch-chemischen
Eigenschaften des Wassers kann als gemeinsam für alle drei
Untersuchungsjahre ein erhöhter Gehalt an
suspendierten Substanzen,
an Phenol und Eisen
hervergehoben werden. Der Sauerstoffgehalt im Wasser schwankte
um die Mittelwerte
von 8,9-9,1 mg/1, bezw.
77% his 84% Sáttigung.
Die BSB5-Mittelwerte
betrugen von 2,0-4,6
mg O2/l.
Der qualitativen Zusammensetzung nach waren
im Zooplankton Protozoa,
Rotatoria, Cladocera und Copepoda
verteten. Insgesamt wurden 65
Taxone festgestellt, davon 11
Protozoa, 40 Rotatoria,
4 Cladocera und
10 Copepoda.
Die Artenanzahl varierte
saisonmüssig. Die
niedrigste Artenanzahl wurde im November
festgestellt (7),
die höchste im
August (38). Auch
die quantitative
Zooplanktonzusammensetzung wies Schwankungen auf.
In allen drei Jahren konnte
ein Maximum im Sommer
festgestellt werden. In den
übrigen Perioden unterscheiden sich
die Werte nicht viel, jedoch
sind die dominante
Gruppen unterschiedlich. Im Jahre 1977
kommt auch ein zweites
Maximum des Zooplanktons
in Herbst vor, das
den Werten nach nicht weit
hinter den
sonnnerlichen zurückbleibt. Am
verschiedenartigsten, und zugleich
am zahlreichsten waren
die Rotatoria.
Die Anzahl der Arten, aber
auch der Einzelwesen von Cladocera
war sehr gering. Copepoda
waren etwas zahlreicher und warem mit
verschiedenen Stadien vertreten (Nauolius und
Copepodit).
Hamar, J. (1979): Zooflagellates from the water storage area of Kisköre (Hungary). Tiscia 14:139-145.
Abstract. Author reports on the zooflagellates of the water storage area established on the middle reach of the Tisza river at Kisköre. On the effect of impoundment planktonic species appeared in the area under examination.
Hamar, J. (1979): Some new zooflagellates from Hungary. Tiscia 14:147-162.
Abstract. This paper reports on new Zooflagellate species collected in Hungary. The most important hydrochemical properties of their environment are also given. The new Mastigamoeba, Mastigella, Bicoeca, Amastigomonas and Hexamita species were recovered from various aquatic biotopes, from rivers to waste water purification plants.
Tóth, S. (1979): Preliminary investigation into the Syrphidae fauna of the Tisza-valley. Tiscia 14:163-174.
Abstract. The author has collected, among other Diptera, hover flies in the flood plain of the Tisza, since 1959. His present work is the first short summary of the Syrphidae fauna in the Tisza-valley. In the course of elaborating about 2300 specimens, he demonstrated 99 species from this area. From among these, new species are in Hungary: Triglyphus primus Loew, Neoascia geniculata Meigen, Paragus haemorrhous Meig., Pyrophaena granctitarsa Förster, Eristala abusivus Coll., and Eumerus sogdianus Stack. From among the rarer species, there are also worth mentioning: Heringia heringi Zett., Melanostoma dubium Zett, Plecocera latifrons Loew.
Tanács, L. (1979): Regeneration of the Apoidea insect fauna in the flood area, as a function of the ecological conditions. Tiscia 14:175-185.
Abstract. In flood areas, the Apoidea insect regeneration is a function of the durability resp. date of flood-waves. The vegetation regenerates one and a half, two months after the flood-waves have passed. After summer floods there cannot develop any connected plant associations more. The structure of the Apoidea insect population is determined first of all by their connection with nutritive plants. The factors determining the regeneration, resp. structure of the Apoidea population in the area investigated are the climatic conditions, the vegetation poor in species combinations, culture effects, and the distance from protecting dams.
Tanács, L. (1979): Protected areas of the flood plain of the lower-Tisza region, their Apoidea insect population and the connections of these with nutritive plants. Tiscia 14:187-196.
Abstract. The author collected I11 Apoidea species from the area investigated. In the flood plains, the richness of the Apoidea insect populations can be attributed to the connections with nitritive plants. The species combination of the vegetation depends upon the height of the level of plain, the duration and date of flood-waves.
Lövei, G. (1979): The autumn migration of the blackcap (Silvia atricapilla L.) in the Danube-bend. Tiscia 14:197-207.
Abstract. The autumn migration of the blackcap was investigated in the ringing camp of the Hungarian Ornithological Association, in Kisoroszi (47° 4i' N; 19° 03' E), in the years 1974-1976. Using wing and tail sizes, multivariate analysis was carried out and the regression of wing length, resp. wing pointedness calculated, shown by the date of passage. Relying upon these findings, the popubtíon composition of the migratory birds and the migration dynamics of populations were discussed and biometric data published. By means of regression analysis, some differences can be demonstrated in the migration behaviour of sexes.
Szitta, T. (1979): Data on the small-mammalia fauna of Tiszakarád and its environs. Tiscia 14:209-216.
Abstract. The author publishes here the results of his
investigations into mammals performed in the environs of Tiszakarád, September through
December.
Comparing the data obtained in the course of
trapping here with his results in the environs of Szeged, he calls the attention to the somehow different
mammalian faunas of the Upper and Lower Tisza Reaches. In the Upper Tisza Region the dominance of Apodemus agrarius, in the Lower Tisza
Region that of Apodemus sylvaticus is established.
The author's observations of ecological
character, performed in the course of the investigations in
different biotopes, are
also contained in the paper.
Erdei, M. (1979): Nutrition-biological investigation into the red fox population living in thr flood plain of the Tisza-Maros. Tiscia 14:217-224.
Abstract. I am
summarizing my investigations performed until now in the flood-plain of the rivers Tisza and Maros in
connection with the nourishment-biology of the red fox, as follows:
The relative proportion and frequency of the
single kinds of prey in the gastric contents is changing. It
depends upon the season and mainly upon the degree of inundations. In the stomachs,
the prey participation in mammals, birds and carcasses is the
largest, in respect both of total weight and relative content.
The other vertebrates and invertebrata as well as plants, do not form any considerable
proportion.
The rodents, occurring frequently in the
investigated area, occur in the prey, too, more frequently. The
rarer ones occur in the prey, to, more rarely. But from among
the non-domesticated
bird species, living in this area, only the pheasant may be
found in the list of preys with great frequency. The other bird
species, in however large number they live in the area, can be
met with in the list only sporadically and with low frequency.
This otherwise agrees with the results of the
nourishment-biological investigations in the southern part of
Hungary (Erdei, 1977).
After analyzing the problem of advantage and
damage, it may be ascertained that its damaging is expressly of game-economical
direction. 63 percent of the gastric content can be regarded as
originating from a harmful activity, 26 percent is useful
because of destroying harmful rodents, 11 percent of the gastric
content is indifferent. Taking into consideration that in Winter
the majority of the pheasant cases are cocks - sex can easily be
established on the basis of feather from the pectoral region -,
this cannot be considered as a pure damage because these are
mostly wounded cocks.
Taking all things into consideration, I
consider the fox as a useful constituent of the biocoenosis in the
flood-plain. Apart from destroying harmful rodents, it also
performs an important hygienic role which has remained
exclusively its task. It replaces the role and activity of the
birds of prey and fur-bearing predatory animals, exterminated or becoming less
frequent in the meantime. So far this is possible at all under
the changed conditions. (Cf. Graph 2).
