Macro Benthic Invertebrates Assemblage in Different Anthropogenic Activities Zone in Badagry Creek, South Western Nigeria

The effect of Rainbow trout farms effluents on benthic macro-invertebrates of Marber River in Semirom

The effect of Rainbow trout farms effluents on benthic macro-invertebrates of Marber River in Semirom city was investigated in spring and summer of 2013. Sampling from benthic macro-invertebrates was done monthly using Surber sampler (mouth area of 30.5 * 30.5 cm with a 500 mesh net) at entrance, discharge and far from three fish farms. In addition to measuring physical and chemical parameters ...

Biodiversity of Benthic Invertebrates along Halls Mill Creek

Jyoti Rai, Department of Biology, University of South Alabama, Mobile, AL 36688. Email: [email protected]. Sediment samples from three sites along Halls Creek were collected for inspection of benthic invertebrates. Sediments were collected from two opposite shores. Two samples were collected from each site. Halls Mill Creek, so far a healthy stream, is being degraded slowly by increase...

Water Body Quality Analysis by Benthic Macro Invertebrates

The study is focused on the bio monitoring of Kukatpally IDL Lake using Benthic Macro invertebrates. It is a special way of assessing the water quality using Macro invertebrates (Bio-monitoring Working Party) as indicators of pollution. The results have been expressed as Bio-Mapping which denotes visually the level of pollution at different points.

Does water level affect benthic macro-invertebrates of a marginal lake in a tropical river-reservoir transition zone?

Benthic macro-invertebrates are important components of freshwater ecosystems which are involved in ecological processes such as energy transfer between detritus and consumers and organic matter recycling. The aim of this work was to investigate the variation in organism richness, diversity and density of benthic fauna during the annual cycle in Camargo Lake, a lake marginal to Paranapanema Riv...
