Aquatic biomonitoring is the science of inferring the ecological condition of river s, lake s, stream s, and wetland s by examining the organism s that live there. While aquatic biomonitoring is the most common form of such biomonitoring, any ecosystem can be studied in this manner. Biomonitoring typically takes two approaches Bioassay s , where test organisms are exposed to an environment to see if mutation s or deaths occur. Typical organisms used in bioassays are fish , water fleas Daphnia , and frog s. Community assessments , also called biosurvey s, where an entire Community ecology community of organisms is sampled, to see what types of taxa remain. In aquatic ecosystem s, these assessments often focus on invertebrate s, algae , macrophyte s aquatic plants , fish, or amphibian s. ref name Karr Karr, James R. 1981 . http www.epa.gov bioindicators pdf AssessmentofBioticIntegrityUsingFishCommunities.pdf Assessment of biotic integrity using fish communities. http afs.allenpress.com perlserv ?request get moreinfo&issn 1548 8446 Fisheries 6 21 27. ref Rarely, other large vertebrates reptile s, bird s, and mammal s are considered as well.
