Abstract
A Study of Benthic Macroinvertebrate Community in the Lower Part of Greater Zab River Near Guwer Subdistrict
Highlights
During the last decades, benthic macroinvertebrates had been the most commonly used group for the assessment of anthropogenic impacts on the quality of surface water (Skoulikidis et al, 2009)
Aquatic insects which are important elements in the ecological dynamics of lotic environment are playing an important role in the cycle of materials and introphic transfers (Hynes, 1970)
The communities of aquatic insects are affected by several factors related to water quality, stream morphology and food availability and quality (Bispo et al, 2006 ; Ifigenia et al, 2006)
Summary
Benthic macroinvertebrates had been the most commonly used group for the assessment of anthropogenic impacts on the quality of surface water (Skoulikidis et al, 2009). The communities of aquatic insects are affected by several factors related to water quality, stream morphology and food availability and quality (Bispo et al, 2006 ; Ifigenia et al, 2006). Preliminary water quality reports on the Greater Zab River were made by (AlNimma, 1982; Aziz, 1997; Aziz, 2006 ; Lak, 2007) dealt with ecological aspects.
