Aquatic invertebrates are an important biomonitoring tool for understanding anddetecting changes in ecosystem integrity over time. Therefore, the monitoring objectivesof this protocol as described by DeBacker et al. (2005) are:1) Determine the status and trends of invertebrate species diversity, abundance, andcommunity metrics.2) Relate invertebrate community to overall water quality through quantification ofmetrics related to species richness, abundance, diversity, and...

(2005) are:1) Determine the status and trends of invertebrate species diversity, abundance, andcommunity metrics.2) Relate invertebrate community to overall water quality through quantification ofmetrics related to species richness, abundance, diversity, and region-specificmulti-metric indices as indicators of water quality and habitat condition.
