Abstract:This study was conducted in a reservoir located in Mbiabet Ikot Udo community, Northern Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria, to assess the physicochemical status, composition and abundance of aquatic insects. Samples were collected from June 2022 to January 2023 and all the parameters were evaluated using standard methods. The results revealed that temperature ranged from 22.7 to 30.6°C, TDS (153 – 238 mgL-1), EC (153 – 238μScm-1), TDS (97.9 –152.3mgL-1), pH (6.3 – 8.1), DO (2.22 – 5.14 mgL-1), TSS (1.62 – 6.34 mgL-1), N… Show more
