| dc.description.abstract | Abundance and diversity of macroinvertebrates as well as physico-chemical parameters of the water were investigated in five rivers of the Juru River Basin in northern Peninsula Malaysia; Ceruk Tok Kun River (CTKR), Pasir River (PR), Permatang Rawa River (PRR), Kilang Ubi River (KUR), and Juru River (JR). A total of 23 macroinvertebrate genera and nine chironomid species including Chironomus kiiensis, C. javanus, Polypedilum trigonus, Microchironomus sp., Dicrotendipes sp., Tanytarsus formosanus, Clinotanypus sp., Tanypus punctipennis and Fittkauimyia sp. were identified. Except for C. javanus, the abundance of chironomid species differed significantly among the rivers (Kruskal Wallis Test, P<0.05). Following the water quality index (WQI), CTKR, PR and JR were classified as Class III (slightly polluted rivers) while PRR and KUR fell in the Class IV (polluted) rivers. | en_US |
