A Comparison of the Efficiency of Aquatic Macroinvertebrate Sampling Tools Used in Lotic Environmental Impact Assessment of Human Activities in A Tropical Mountain Stream in Eastern Uganda
Abstract:The study was aimed at comparing the efficiency of three macroinvertebrate sampling tools used in lotic environmental impact assessment of River Sipi including Surber sampler, rock-filled basket and Kick net sampling tools. The efficiency of the sampling tools was based on the data collected by each sampling tool, which was in turn used to calculate the Relative variation (RV) (efficiency), diversity, richness, and relative abundance, time taken to sort macroinvertebrate per sample and taxa assemblage. Data wa… Show more
