“…This observation agreed with Iskaros (1993), Fishar (1995 and Iskaros and Dardir (2010). Nevertheless, the mud habitat was highly productive because it has high organic matter, burrowing (tube makers and builders), and soft substratum (Merritt et al, 2008;Abdelsalam and Tanida, 2013). Certain submerged macrophyte species which were previously recorded during the early stages of Lake Nasser i.e.…”

“…Twenty species and taxa were recorded whereas; two Annelids (Oligochaeta) species; Nais and Chaetogaster were recorded for the first time in the lake. Brinkhurst and Gelnder (2001) and Abdelsalam and Tanida (2013) reported that the oligochaetes especially which affiliate to family Naididae are truly cosmopolitan and widely distributed among different habitats. The highest number of taxa and species was recorded at khor Kalabsha (16 species), it decreased at khor Kursku and Tushka West (15 species) and reached the lowest at khor Wadi Abyad (13 species).…”

“…Benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages are structured according to physical and chemical parameters that define habitat and other biological parameters that influence their reproductive success (Abdelsalam and Tanida, 2013). In addition, they provide a more accurate understanding of changing in aquatic conditions than chemical and microbiological data, which at least give short-term fluctuations (Ravera, 1998(Ravera, , 2000.…”

Spatial and temporal variations of macrobenthic fauna in Lake Nasser khors, were studied at four subsequent seasons during 2013. Khor Tushka West recorded the highest average number (597 Org./m 2 ). It was decreased at khor Kursku (112 Org./m 2 ) and Kalabsha (105 Org./m 2 ) while it reached the lowest at khor Wadi Abyad (65 Org./m 2 ). The highest average number was recorded during spring (447 Org./m 2 ). It decreased during winter (174 Org./m 2 ) and summer (151 Org./m 2 ), then reached the lowest during autumn (107 Org./m 2 ). Annelida, Arthropoda and Mollusca were the most dominant groups in the lake during the study being 72.65%, 26.09% and 1.35%, respectively. The highest number of species (16) was observed at khor Kalabsha. This may be due to its nature of sandy bottom. Biological indices showed high richness values of all the studies khors except khor Tushka West.These low values of indices may be due to the dominance of Annelids species especially, Limnodrilus spp. and Branchiura sowerbyi. There is a positive correlation between these species and total annelids with all physico-chemical parameters. The analysis of variance between the different khors based on the main macrobenthic groups showed a highly significant value ( p < 0.001). ª 2014 National Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries.

The impact of heavy metals on macrobenthic invertebrates in five stations along the River Nile at Great Cairo (from Helwan to El-Qanater El-Khiria) was studied during the period from May, 2013 to February, 2014. Physico-chemical characteristics and heavy metals (iron, manganese, zinc, copper and cadmium) were analyzed in water. The highest average number (2305 org./m 2 ) of macrobenthic invertebrates was recorded during spring, while the lowest (642 org./m 2 ) was recorded during summer. Annelida, Mollusca and Arthropoda were the most dominant groups being 62 %, 34 % and 4 % respectively. Twenty two species and taxa were recorded; Mollusca (13 species) and Annelida (7 species) Arthropoda (2 species).All the heavy metal concentrations were within the permissible limits except at Helwan and Hawamdia due to the effect of discharged industrial wastes. The highest positive correlation was recorded between Arthropoda and iron & zinc, while iron recorded a negative correlation with Mollusca and Annelida. The principal component analysis (PCA) showed that the most dominant annelid Limnodrilus spp. had a positive correlation with cadmium and negative correlation with all other heavy metals. This indicates that this species can resist the high concentrations of cadmium.

A maiden attempt has been made to present a biodiversity of periphyton of the Sahashradhara springs, a group of one thousand springs and one of the most important clusters of limnocrenes and rheocrenes springs located in Doon Valley of Garhwal-Himalayas. The environmental monitoring of periphyton community of Sahashradhara springs was carried out for one complete annual cycle (October 2011-September 2012. Annual percentage composition of periphyton revealed that major contribution was represented by Bacillariophyceae (68-70%) followed by Chlorophyceae (26-28%) and Myxophyceae (3-5%). A total of 29 species of periphyton were recorded from different springs of Sahashradhara. A significant correlation between diversity of periphyton and environmental parameters-temperature, turbidity, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, free CO 2 , alkalinity, FPOM and CPOM was observed. Regression analysis was performed between density of periphyton and physico-chemical variables, which revealed that temperature, conductivity, alkalinity, CO 2 , TDS, CPOM and FPOM were found to have strong influence on the density and diversity of periphyton of Sahashradhara springs.
