Macroinvertebrates as Indicators of Stream Health.
McDonald, Brook S.; And Others
American Biology Teacher, v53 n8 p462-66 Nov-Dec 1991
Describes Ohio's Scenic Rivers Monitoring Program that uses benthic macroinvertebrates, such as the stonefly, mayfly, and water penny beetle larva, as key indicators of water quality and stream health. Presents a three-category scheme for invertebrates based upon their tolerance to pollution. Students can collect samples of these organisms, calculate their numbers, and estimate the health of a stream. (PR)
