the objective of this study was to diagnose integrative ecological health of an urban stream,which is located in the asian temperate region. the research approach was primarily based on the index ofbiological integrity (ibi) using fish assemblage and a qualitative habitat evaluation index (qhei). and these indexes were compared with long-term conventional chemical dataset during 1996-2005. for ...

Genotoxic responses (chromosomal damage, DNA strand breakage) of redbreast sunfish (Lepomis auritis) populations exposed to industrial effluent and mutagenicity of the associated sediments were determined in order to compare them to changes in community structure. Data were collected from a reference stream and East Fork Poplar Creek (EFPC), a first-order stream which originates on the grounds ...
