The biological assessment of rivers i.e., their through use aquatic assemblages, integrates the effects multiple-stressors on these systems over time and is essential to evaluate ecosystem condition establish recovery measures. It has been undertaken in many countries since 1990s, but not globally. And where national or multi-national monitoring networks have gathered large amounts data, poor water body classifications necessarily resulted rehabilitation rivers. Thus, here we aimed identify...
Rivers suffer from multiple stressors acting simultaneously on their biota, but the consequences are poorly quantified at global scale. We evaluated biological condition of rivers globally, including largest proportion countries Global South published to date. gathered macroinvertebrate- and fish-based assessments 72,275 37,676 sites, respectively, 64 study regions across six continents 45 nations. Because were based differing methods, different systems consolidated into a 3-class system:...
Abstract A multimetric approach, using 21 metrics representing five categories — abundance, composition, richness, diversity and biotic indices was applied to investigate the impacts of water quality deterioration on macro-invertebrate communities in Swartkops River. Macroinvertebrates were sampled seasonally between August 2009 July 2010 South African Scoring System version 5 (SASS5) protocol at one reference site upstream Uitenhage three downstream sites. Assessment macroinvertebrates...
Abstract Urban pollution of riverine ecosystem is a serious concern in the Niger Delta region Nigeria. No biomonitoring tool exists for routine monitoring effects urban on systems within region. Therefore, aim this study was to develop and apply macroinvertebrate‐based multimetric index assessing water quality condition impacted river Macroinvertebrate physicochemical samples were collected from 11 stations eight systems. Based variables, categorized into three impact categories namely least...
Studies on biomonitoring the aquatic environment using host-parasite dynamics as bio-indicators of effects and accumulators heavy metals insults are still scarce, particularly in tropics. In our study, we aimed at elucidating possible use helminth parasites fish monitoring controlling metal pollution. Samples were collected from an anthropogenically polluted river north central region Nigeria over a period 24 months (September 2014 October 2016). Water, muscle, samples three dominant species...
