Macroinvertebrates as bioindicators of Water Quality of Effluent-receiving Ossah River, Umuahia, Southeast Nigeria.

Macroinvertebrates as bioindicators of Water Quality of Effluent-receiving Ossah River, Umuahia, Southeast Nigeria.

Bioindicators are biological organisms that can be used to monitor the quality of the environment. Macroinvertebrates are known to be extremely sensitive to organic pollutants coupled with their wide distribution, ease and minimal cost of sampling which makes them perfect bioindicators. Macroinverte...
