Resident biota (e.g., benthic macroinvertebrates, fish, periphyton) in a water body are natural monitors of environmental quality and can reveal the effects of episodic and cumulative pollution and habitat alteration (Barbour et al. 1999, Barbour et al. 1995). Biological surveys and assessments are the primary approaches to biomonitoring. As part of the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection/Division of Watershed Management (MassDEP/DWM) 2003 Blackstone River watershed assessments, aquatic benthic macroinvertebrate biomonitoring was conducted to evaluate the biological health of portions of the Blackstone and Mumford rivers.
