Aquatic Macroinvertebrates Sampling and Identification: The Biological Indicators for Water Quality of Perennial Streams in Arizona
by Michael Angelo De La Cruz
With this lesson, students learn how to do simple macroinvertebrates sampling and identification using common resources to determine the environmental health status of perennial streams in Arizona. According to Azzazy, 2020, biological indicators or bioindicators are living organisms (microbes, animals, and plants) that are used as a potential tool to monitor the changes (either positive or negative) in environmental health and their possible impact on human civilization.
