LARVAE OF Plecoptera AS BIOINDICATORS OF WATER QUALITY IN THE RIVERS OF SOUTH URAL
Abstract
The article analyzes the possible use of Plecoptera larvae to increase the significance of bioindicator researches during the ecological monitoring of the rivers of the Southern Urals. 7 types of stoneflies larvae were collected and analyzed for constancy (in unit shares) (X. apicalis, S. burmeisteri, T. nebulosa, N. pictetii, N. cinerea, L. nigra, L. fusca) in summer time from 2005 till 2016 in the regions of 17 state water posts located on the rivers of the Southern Urals. As chemical characteristics on alignments such indexes as content in river waters of compounds of manganese, nickel and iron, oil products, phenols, ammonia nitrogen, copper, zinc, by HPK, BPK5, sulfates, chlorides, a nitrite nitrogen were used. As a complex index the specific combinatorial index of water impurity was used. The list of constant, additive and casual species from Plecoptera order in the studied parts of the rivers of the Southern Urals was made for the first time. Statistically significant correlation dependences between stoneflies’ larvae constancy and a number of hydrochemical indexes were revealed. The author developed regression models to forecast the constancy of stoneflies’ larvae depending on concentration of the pollutants in river waters. The combination of dynamics of larvae constancy with the results of hydrochemical analyses will allow to reveal the polluting chemicals having the strongest impact on hydrobionts and being a part of the sewage dumped in the surface water of the Southern Urals.
