Use of bioindicators

A bioindicator is a living organism that can be anything from a microbe, an insect or a fish, to a plant or algae, that allows us to quantify and qualify the level and evolution of contamination present in an aquatic system by determining its differential sensitivity to various toxic substances. Sampling of macroinvertebrates is linked to sampling of the chemical quality of the water.
