Preliminary aspects regarding the use of some invertebrate bioindicator species in the ecological study of an aquatic lotic ecosystem
Journal Title: Aquaculture, Aquarium, Conservation & Legislation - International Journal of the Bioflux Society - Year 2009, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Using invertebrate bioindicator species is one of the most important methodologies for evaluating the quality of the environment. The paper presents some data about monitoring studies, made during 1985-2008, with reference to some invertebrate bioindicator species, in the Someș River within the Cluj-Napoca city’s limits. A number of 16 systematic categories were highlighted. The results presented in this paper are the preliminary data for a wider study referring to the evolution of this aquatic ecosystem’s quality. On the other hand, the data show, for the studied period, a progressive increase of the level of the ecosystem’s aggression and pollution.
