dc.description.abstractThis study aimed to determine the water quality classes of seven rivers in the North Aegean Basin (Turkiye) according to their benthic macroinvertebrate groups. In order to determine water quality levels, water and benthos samples were taken from 17 localities in May and June 2014, and the collected material was examined. As a result, a total of 22,348 benthic macroinvertebrate individuals belonging to 47 taxonomic groups were identified. The main groups and individual numbers were as follows: Chironomidae (8948 ind.), Baetidae (3910 ind.), Oligochaeta (1715 ind.), Gammaridae (1667 ind.), Potamanthidae (1401 ind.), Asellidae (1113 ind.), Melanopsidae (968 ind.), Physidae (618 ind.), Dugesiidae (475 ind.) and Hydropsychidae (107 ind.). The relationships between benthic macroinvertebrates and environmental variables were examined by canonical analysis. The dominance, BMWP (Biological Monitoring Working Party) and ASPT (Average Score Per Taxon) indices among benthic invertebrate groups were calculated. The dominant group was Chironomidae with similar to 40%. Considering the BMWP scores, stations S2, S3, S12 and S17 were classified as polluted, station S5 was classified as unpolluted. ASPT scores indicated that station S3 was heavily polluted and S16 was the cleanest station.en_US
