PARAMETERS AFFECTING MACROINVERTEBRATES DISTRIBUTION IN FRESHWATER
Aquatic macroinvertebrates are an important part of the food chain, especially for fish. Many feed on algae and bacteria, which are on the lower end of the food chain. Some shred and eat leaves and other organic matter that enters the water. Because of their abundance and position in the aquatic food chain, benthos plays a critical role in the natural flow …showed first 75 words of 1993 total…
