Abstract: This study presents chemical characteristics of sediments from different reservoir types and considers opportunities for sustainable management of investigated aquatic ecosystems. Bottom sediments are product of organic and inorganic nature, accumulated by settling of suspended substances of autochthonous and allochthonious origin during reservoir yearlong operation. In some reservoir sites wastes from fish farming become substantial part of bottom deposits. In terms of status management of the reservoir ecosystem including the health of growing aquaculture the accumulation of sediments often has negative consequences. Deposition of large amounts of organic matteris related to the process of its decomposition secured by the presence of high levels of dissolved oxygen, which sometimes might be depleted and might lead to oxygen deficiency.
Keywords: bottom sediment, reservoirs, aquatic ecosystems, chemical characteristics of sediments
