Biomonitoring and Bioindicators in Aquatic Ecosystems

  • Chapter
Book cover Modern Trends in Applied Aquatic Ecology

Abstract

In the past decades, an extremely large number of natural and synthetic chemical substances have been produced and used without knowledge of the possible environmental impact of the release of these chemicals, their impurities, and degradation products. Although most of these chemicals did not evoke an immediate effect in the aquatic environment, the total load of pollutants has certainly contributed to the observed changes in the structure and function of aquatic ecosystems.
