the healthy condition of the taleghan river in upstream of the taleghan dam was studied in order to better understanding the role of benthic invertebrate bio-purification faced to waste water inflows to the river in several parts. sampling was started from the fall of 2005 and continued to the winter of 2006. in this way, five stations were selected using a pre-sampling strategy based on simila...

‘Ihe Ipswich River is a low-gradient, coastal river in northeastem Massachusetts. It is about 55 km long and drains an area of 401 km’. Previous observations and studies indicate high levels of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) in the headwaters of the river due to urban and residential land use (1). However, concentrations drop quickly with distance downstream, presumably due to biological pr...

This study describes the species diversity of fishes of the Narmada River in India. A total of 820 fish specimens were collected from 17 sampling locations across the whole river basin. Fish were taxonomically classified into one of 90 possible species based on morphological characters, and then DNA barcoding was employed using COI gene sequences as a supplemental identification method. A total...
