Presentation Transcript

  1. Aquatic Life

  2. Biological Sampling • Performed following the HHEI • Finds actual classification • Samples • Headwater Salamanders • Headwater Fish • Headwater Benthic Macroinvertebrates

  3. Fish, Salamanders, Macroinvertebrates

  4. Headwater Salamanders • Class I- PHWH Salamander Assemblage • Class II- PHWH Salamander Assemblage • Class III- PHWH Salamander Assemblage

  5. Salamanders with Aquatic Larva

  6. Headwater Fish • Cold Water Adapted • Indicates Class III • Warm Water Adapted • Indicates Class II

  7. The Fish and their Categories

  8. Headwater Benthic* Macroinvertebrates • Headwater Macroinvertebrate Field Evaluation Index (HMFEI) • Uses a scoring system that assigns values to different macroinvertebrate taxa

  9. Bio-Assessment • You have just learned how to use living organisms to classify primary headwater streams. This is called Bio-Assessment and is more accurate than using the HHEI assessment of physical parameters.
