Zusammenfassung: | This study aimed to evaluate the water quality in the Tigreiro river, Jacui river Basin, using different approaches. Benthic macroinvertebrates were sampled in July 2010 (winter) and February 2011 (summer) at five sites. In this study were analyzed: microbiological, physical and chemical variables, benthic macroinvertebrates richness and diversity, rapid ecological assessment protocol and benthic biotic indices (% EPT, BMWP'-IAP, ASPT, SOMI). A total of 5,852 individuals were collected belonging to 31 taxa of three Phyla: Annelida, Mollusca and Arthropoda. Chironomidae was the most abundant taxon (63.70%). A reduction in richness, diversity H' and evenness J' was observed from the initial stretches to the end stretches of Tigreiro river. The use of different approaches showed that sites in the rural area were less altered. The Tigreiro river was strongly impacted, mainly due to discharge of domestic effluents in the urban area, and the combination of different metrics was useful to detect impacted sites and the consequence for the water quality. Keywords: Chironomidae, diversity, benthic biotic indices, domestic effluents, % EPT. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a qualidade de agua do rio Tigreiro, bacia do rio Jacui, pelo uso de diferentes abordagens. Macroinvertebrados bentonicos foram coletados em julho/2010 (inverno) e fevereiro/2011 (verao) em cinco pontos. Neste estudo foram analisados: variaveis microbiologicas, fisicas e quimicas, riqueza e diversidade de macroinvertebrados bentonicos, protocolo de avaliacao ambiental rapida e indices bioticos de bentos (% EPT, BMWP'-IAP, ASPT, SOMI). Foram coletados 5.852 individuos pertencentes a 31 taxa de tres Filos: Annelida, Mollusca e Arthropoda. Chironomidae foi o taxon dominante (63,70%). A reducao de riqueza, diversidade H' e uniformidade J' ocorreram da porcao inicial em direcao a porcao final do rio Tigreiro. O uso das diferentes abordagens mostrou que os pontos da area rural foram menos modificados. O rio Tigreiro apresentouse fortemente impactado, principalmente pela descarga de esgotos domesticos na area urbana e o uso de diferentes metricas foi util para detectar locais impactados e suas consequencias para a qualidade de agua. Palavras-chave: Chironomidae, diversidade, indices bioticos de bentos, esgotos domesticos, % EPT. |
