This paper presents a part of the results obtained from extensive studies conducted on springs — remarkable freshwater habitats with many unique characteristics and a high degree of biological diversity. The abiotic conditions and fauna composition of 68 submontane permanent oligotrophic springs in the Blanice River catchment (eastern part of The Bohemian Forest, Czech Republic) were investigated with a focus on their relationship to the Pisidium species occurrence. We attempted to determine the habitat requirements of individual pea clam species. Species of genus Pisidium generally preferred unshaded springs with fine substrate, the most favourable environment were helocrene springs. Although they were the second most numerous taxonomical group in the springs, only two species were present there: Pisidium casertanum and P. personatum. The occurrence of both species strongly positively correlated with each other. Substrate type and a few chemical parameters were the main parameters, which differentiated the distribution of both species. While P. casertanum was found to be most abundant in vegetation, P. personatum preferred humolite substrate. The occurrence of P. casertanum was further influenced by nutrients compared to P. personatum, whose occurrence positively correlated with the common minerals. In general, biotope characteristics of springs were found to be more important for Pisidium species inhabiting oligotrophic mountain springs than water chemistry.
