Researching human health and protection of the freshwater environment and analyzing water environment changes using aquatic insects as indicators

【Supercategory：5. Environmental conservation Category： Subcategory：】

We are researching the relationship between the benthonic fauna of the freshwater environment (i.e., rivers, lakes, and marshes) and water qualities (trophic status). We use changes in the composition, densities and biomass of various species, and their role in the aquatic ecosystem to learn and monitor of the changes to the freshwater environment. We capture the signals given by aquatic organisms to learn about the current water environment and predict future trends.
