Aquatic insects as bio-indicators of water quality – a study on Sungai Kawal, Johor National Park of Endau-Rompin, Peninsular Malaysia

Biological indicator species or bio-indicators are sensitive to specific environmental factors so that changes in their environment will be reflected by their incidence or abundance. In fact, aquatic insects of freshwater river and stream ecosystems have been widely used as bioindicators to exami...
