This paper deals with the consequences of cultural eutrophication and unconventional solutions for shallow lake restoration. Cultural eutrophication is the primary problem that affects especially shallow lakes, due to their physical characteristics (e.g. shallow depth, lack of stratification). Palic Lake, a very shallow Pannonian lake, received treated municipal wastewaters coming from the lagoons of a wastewater treatment plant. The sewage discharge mainly increased the nutrient load to the lake in the last decades. The lake sustainability is affected by inappropriate quality of water that flows into the lake, and abundance of deposited sediment. The technology that can provide both improvement of water quality and resolution of the sediment problem is a constructed wetland, which is designed to utilise the natural processes involving wetland vegetation, soil and their associated microbial assemblages to assist in additional water treatment. The technical solution is based on three key aspects: quality and quantity of deposited sediment, enriched by nutrients; effluent quality; desired lake water quality. A designed constructed wetland can accomplish the desired water quality and gradually remediate deposited sediment.

Percid fishes are found in lakes that cover a wide range of trophic conditions. The responses of percids and their habitats to progressive cultural eutrophication are predictable. Alterations in physicochemical characteristics of habitats precipitate changes in phytoplankton, macrophytes, zooplankton, and benthos that are ultimately deleterious. Enrichment can lead to favorable responses in percids, but somewhere in the continuum of trophic conditions the responses become unfavorable. The relative level at which the response becomes negative varies with the species according to tolerances to altered environment, adaptabilities to new habitat and forage base, and reproductive behavior. Progressive eutrophication acts as a selective mechanism that leads to a predictable sequence of fish species. Other perturbations, such as exploitation and habitat modification, can act synergistically with cultural eutrophication in accelerating the sequence. As eutrophication proceeds, the succession of species may not lead to increased fish yield because part of the nutrient load may be channeled through unharvestable food chains. Key words: Percidae, habitat, eutrophication, species dominance, food habits, parasitism, disease
