“…Completely dissimilar from the upstream links, the downstream links connecting H. molitrix , P. pekinensis and M. guttatu with plankton, bivalves, and annelids indicate semi‐lentic eutrophic waters with greater depth and a silt substrate. The impacts of the upstream Fengshuba Dam, which obstructs the hydrodynamic connectivity of the river, stimulated the downstream loss of guild I and the emergence of guild D, which reflects the reallocation of prey sources in riffle habitats (Aarts et al, ; Wang et al, ).…”

“…Wang et al (2008) employed benthic macro-invertebrate as indicator to evaluate the effect of ecological rehabilitation and found that biodiversity and number density of macroinvertebrate in rehabilitation reaches remained high levels compared to reference reaches of East River. The present results also showed that the species richness and biomass of phytoplankton, zooplankton, and benthos increased after the rehabilitation of vegetation.…”

“…To date, 60 % of the main river channel has been affected by the various pollutants some even are widespread in the middle and down reaches, in which areas there are high population densities (Liu and Wu 2006). Chaohu Lake, which links to Yangtze River, is the fifth largest freshwater lake in China with 756 km 2 and a mean water depth of 2.69 m in the down reach of Yangtze River Basin (Wang and Dou 1998). Unfortunately, the severe deterioration of water quality and ecological functions exert negative influences on its social and economic value.…”
