Download or read book Biological Assessment and Criteria written by Wayne S. Davis and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1995-03-03 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biological Assessment and Criteria presents a state-of-the-art overview of the applications of biological assessments and biocriteria for water quality management in fresh waters. The book presents case studies which illustrate how bioassessment has been used to identify and diagnose water quality problems. It also provides examples of the use of qualitative and quantitative biocriteria as regulatory tools to complement water quality criteria and standards. The first book to present the technical foundation, rationale, program and policy relevance, and legal basis for the most accurate tools used to assess freshwater natural resource and regulatory efforts, this book provides useful and timely information for water quality managers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Freshwater ecosystems worldwide have been progressively deteriorated during the past decades due to an increasing human pressure that has lead to a decrease in aquatic biodiversity. Among the human activities of high impact on freshwater ecosystems is the land-use change, principally from native forests to agriculture. To evaluate the impacts of human activities on water quality, a traditional approach has considered the use of single physical-chemical parameters. However, this approach may be insufficient to fully assess the impact of these human activities on freshwaters. Therefore, there is a need for alternative tools such as the indices of biotic integrity that may provide a complement to traditional approaches. In the literature, there are several examples of biotic indicators that have shown promising results in evaluating water quality including the use of macroinvertebrates and fish diets. Here, we provide a review of the indicators of biotic integrity that included fish assemblages as well as macroinvertebrates as bioindicators. We identify pros and cons of using aquatic communities as indicators of water quality. Finally, we develop a procedure that combines fish and macroinvertebrate assemblages as bioindicators and discuss their effectiveness using illustrative examples from streams under several agricultural uses in the Mediterranean region of Chile.

Natural History Survey Division. River Research Laboratory and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fish populations of the Illinois River were sampled in the autumn of 1974 by means of a 220-volt AC electroshocker, as part of an environmental inventory and assessment of effects of maintenance and operation of the nine-ft navigation channel in Pools 24, 25, and 26 on the Upper Mississippi River and lower 80 miles of the Illinois River. Comparative data were available from similar electrofishing surveys conducted from 1959 through 1973. Commercial fishing statistics and results of earlier fish surveys were available as far back as the 1870's. The Illinois River begins at the confluence of the Kankakee and Des Plaines Rivers. The effect of municipal and industrial discharges from the Chicago-Joliet area was evident in electrofishing catches from the Des Plaines River.
