The use of benthic invertebrate community and water quality analyses to assess ecological consequences of fish farm effluents in rivers

Aquatic Insect Biodiversity and Water Quality Parameters of Streams in Northern Thailand

“…Temperature is one of the major factors determining the distribution of Hydropsychidae, where most of the species exhibit higher densities in warmer waters (Kimura et al 2008). Trichopterans are especially sensitive to decrease in water quality (Dohet 2002;Guilpart et al 2012). Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera and Trichoptera are often used as indicators of good water quality (Crisci-Bispo et al 2007;Qu et al 2010).…”

The Effects of Bridge Abutments on the Benthic Macroinvertebrate Community

“…Aquatic macroinvertebrates are often preferred for bio-monitoring because they can detect cumulative impacts of an aquatic system [35][36][37]. In the present study, no measured chemical parameters were signifi cantly correlated to biological variables except dissolved oxygen.…”

Characteristics of Benthic Invertebrates in Organic and Conventional Paddy Field

“…일반적으로 저서무척추동물은 육상곤충과 같이 육상생활을 하던 곤충류가 2차적으로 다시 수중 생활을 하게 된 것으로 생활사(life history)가 변화된 환경에 알맞게 적응된 것들이 대부분이다 (Huryn, 2009;Brand and Miserendino, 2012). 이들은 서식환경과 수질의 특성에 따라 독특한 분포를 보이 기 때문에 수질오염을 평가하는 지표생물로도 많이 이용되고 있다 (Guilpart et al, 2012). Table 2).…”
