1. 1. Evaluation of restoration efforts in Dalälven - conditions for survival rate of Salmo trutta and Salmo salar

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Ville Svärd; [2023]
   Keywords : Restoration; river; salmonids; benthic fauna;

   Abstract : Rivers are among the most anthropogenically affected ecosystems in the world by irrigation, transportation, channelizing, and hydropower. Habitat restorations have become a popular method to restore the heterogeneity and complexity of rivers aiming for improvement of biodiversity. READ MORE

3. 2. Restoration effects on benthic macroinvertebrate diversity and community composition in a river

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Fredrik Laggar; [2023]
   Keywords : Benthic invertebrates; diversity; communtiy composition;

   Abstract : Physical restoration efforts are common methods to restore running waters containingdegraded ecosystems due to anthropogenic activities such as irrigation, ditching, dammingand flood prevention. The goal is usually to restore waters to a more natural state, creatingmore physically complex habitats supporting a larger number of species of both fish andinvertebrates, hence increasing biodiversity.

4. 3. Investigating eco-hydrological relationships between fishes and flow regimes in Spanish rivers

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

   Author : Celia Ramos Sanchez; [2021]
   Keywords : Eco-hydrological relationships; Fish metrics; Hydrological metrics; Environmental flows; Hydrological alteration; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : There is currently a need in Spain for monitoring the effects of the environmental flows. The use of eco-hydrological relationships to design both environmental flows regimes and the monitoring programs that track their effects on riverine ecosystems is highly recommended. READ MORE

5. 4. Factors Controlling Mercury Concentration in Rivers in the Mackenzie River Basin, Northwestern Canada

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

   Author : Jack Hewitt; [2020]
   Keywords : mercury; Mackenzie River Basin; regression; Canada; community-based water monitoring;

   Abstract : Mercury (Hg) in rivers and streams of the Mackenzie River Basin (MRB) presents a risk to fish, aquatic mammals, and humans. This thesis makes use of newly-released water quality data, including total mercury (THg) and dissolved mercury (DHg), gathered through the NWT-Wide Community-based Water Quality Monitoring (CBM) program.

6. 5. Freshwater pearl mussel as indicators of Swedish streams - a comparison between freshwater pearl mussel and biological quality elements

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Aquatic Sciences and Assessment

   Author : Kristin Forsell; [2014]
   Keywords : flodpärlmussla; biologiska kvalitetsfaktorer; freshwater pearl mussel; biological quality elements;

   Abstract : The freshwater pearl mussel (Margaritifera margaritifera) is a large freshwater mussel. Because of its sensitivity to human impact, such as eutrophication, acidification and alterations of hydromorphology, the species is considered as a robust indicator of stream water quality and biodiversity.
