“…Other authors observed abnormalities in cladocerans which may be associated with environmental factors, in Brazilian water bodies, as this study. Chemical contaminants or bacteria and viruses, may have caused changes in helm, rostrum and the ventral margin of the carapace of some species of daphnids, in reservoir cascade of medium and low Tietê River (Zanata et al, 2008). Iron bioaccumulation by Coronatella monacantha Sars, 1901 may have caused abnormalities in the labrum of the keel in species of a stream in Ceará State, Brazilian Northeast (Sousa et al, 2011) …”

“…Some authors have recorded Cladocera (Crustacea: Branchiopoda) morphological alterations generated by anthropogenic activities (Omair et al, 1999;ElmoorLoureiro, 2004;Sinev, 2000;Zanata et al, 2008;Sousa et al, 2011). Omair et al (1999) reported abnormalities in cladocerans and copepods, in the Lake Michigan, and suggested that the abnormalities are a recent global phenomenon and probably due to the anthropogenic actions.…”

The morphological variation in a population of Pleuroxus aduncus (Jurine, 1820) from a well in Germany is described. The number of denticles at the postero-ventral corner of the valve are more numerous than normal and abnormalities occur regularly. The observations are discussed in the context of the described variation in number of posteroventral denticles of this species and the causes given for abnormalities in recent literature.

“…Tais impactos fragilizam e alteram as condições do meio aquático, descaracterizando-o, podendo atingir níveis de perdas ambientais que comprometem a fonte de recursos para manutenção da vida, abastecimento ou mesmo recreação como ocorre com o rio Tietê, na região da grande São Paulo (Rodgher et al, 2005;Zanata et al, 2008;Cunha et al, 2011).…”

The Jundiaí-Mirim watershed supplies the Jundiaí city and it is located between two metropolitan regions: the Campinas metropolitan region and the São Paulo metropolitan region which are the two most populous regions in São Paulo state. In this region some problems such as hydric resources scarcity, as well the water quality; conflicts between the water users and hydric pollution are part of the reality faced by the management agencies and government. The trophic state index (TSI) allows the water bodies classification according to the nutrients entrance into the system. That contribution artificially stimulates the algae and macrophytes proliferation and may causes a number of problems which includes: toxic algae proliferation, fish kills and disagreeable odor. The benthic macroinvertebrates are one of the most widely and recognized bioindicators in the aquatic environments reacting to impacts in water column, sediment and margins. The objective of the present research was to assess the environmental quality of the Jundiaí Mirim basin based on the trophic state index and the benthic macroinvertebrates community. Samplings were performed for TSI calculation and benthic macroinvertebrates rapid analysis at four samplings stations along the Jundiaí-Mirim river basin (Jundiaí, SP, Brazil). The data obtained reveals a worrying situation of the basin which is suffering a eutrophication process resulting in a poor quality of its waters and sediments. Moreover, it was recorded the presence of the exotic mollusk Corbicula fluminea, one of the freshwater exotic species of main concern in the world. It is recommended the development of an action project comprising short, average and long term marks in order to promote the recovery of the environment and to avoid environmental, social and economic problems. A rapid analysis index using the benthic macroinvertebrates was proposed.
