Reading: Evaluation of the water and sediment quality of a lotic water-body in the western coastal re Department of Zoology and Environmental Management X close.

Abstract The biotic indices used in Rapid Bioassessment Protocol II RBP II developed by United States Environmental Protection Agency was used to assess the feasibility of using benthic macroinvertebates as bio-indicators for monitoring water and sediment quality in Ja-Ela stream, which is a lotic water body in the western coastal region of Sri Lanka. Keywords: Biotic indices, Benthic macroinvertebrates, Bioindicators, Aquatic pollution, Urban stream.

Home » About » Research Areas » Additional Research Areas » Sediment Quality » Sediment Quality Assessment Tools To quantify the effects of sediment contamination on sediment-dwelling biological communities, as well as on humans via food web transfer, SCCWRP and its partners have developed quantitative scoring tools for assessing sediment quality. Species List of Embayment Macrofauna — List of benthic macroinvertebrate species found in California embayments including their taxonomy, pollution tolerance scores, and notes for use in benthic index calculations.

This webpage provides the most updated version of the list. Further details on how to translate current taxa for use in the SQO tools is provided in the Technical Report.

User must have SAS software to run the program. Sediment toxicity flow charts — Flow charts for each test organism used for determining the toxicity response category. This file link provides the current version.
