Biological Indicators of Aquatic Ecosystem Stress(paperback)
S. Marshall Adams, editor
656 pages Published by American Fisheries Society Publication date: August 2002
Summary
A practical guide to the use of biocriteria for assessment of the effects of environmental stressors on aquatic ecosystems and organisms, especially fish. Written by scientists who are the best in their fields, this book provides helpful information for designing and applying bioindicators in the field to reliably assess the health of aquatic organisms and the ecosystems. This volume may be used as a manual for scientists, students, and others, in a variety of disciplines and applications.
