Freshwater macroinvertebrates provide a useful and reliable indicator of the health of our rivers, streams, ponds and wetlands. This book is a comprehensive and accurate identification guide to the macroinvertebrates that inhabit our freshwater systems. It provides a wealth of basic information on the biology of macroinvertebrates, and describes the signal method for assessing river health.

The book is full of practical tips about where to find various animals and what their presence indicates about their environment. An easy-to-use key to all macroinvertebrate groups, and high quality coloured photographs of live specimens, are included.

The book is an invaluable reference for students, amateur naturalists and fly fishing enthusiasts, as well as professional environmental scientists. It would prove especially useful to those conducting water monitoring projects.

ISBN 0643066683
