Resumo: | In the last decades, anthropic activities such as agriculture activities, industrial and urban effluents and urban areas have been pointed as the main responsible for the alteration and degradation of the aquatic ecosystems. One way of analyzing the water quality of these environments is to study the aquatic microinvertebrated fauna. The present study aimed at analyzing the environmental water quality of Anhumas Stream in the city of Araraquara, SP, Brazil, by studying its aquatic macroinvertebrate community. Two samplings were carried out, being one in February and the other in October, 2008. Three sections of the stream were chosen for study, and two samples were collected at each site totalizing 12 samples. 35 families of macroinvertebrates were collected, totalizing 644 individuals. The Chironomidae family was the dominant one with approximately 57% of the total of collected organisms. The metrics of environmental evaluation using stream macroinvertebrates pointed to the conservation of the Anhumas stream, considering that we found a higher richness of families and a higher percentage of Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera and Tricoptera (EPT) than the ones found in streams with similar environments characteristics near to Araraquara region. The results pointed to the importance of conserving this area as a reference for water´s quality in the region of Araraquara. |

Uma das formas de analisar a qualidade da água desses ambientes pode ser realizada por meio do estudo da fauna de macroinvertebrados aquáticos. O presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar a qualidade da água da nascente do ribeirão das Anhumas, através do estudo da comunidade de macroinvertebrados aquáticos. Foram realizadas duas coletas da fauna aquática, uma no mês de fevereiro e outra no mês de outubro de 2008. Foram escolhidos três trechos do córrego, onde se coletou duas amostras em cada trecho, totalizando 12 amostras. No total, foram coletadas 35 famílias de macroinvertebrados, totalizando 644 indivíduos. A família Chironomidae foi dominante, com aproximadamente 57% do total dos espécimes coletados. As métricas de avaliação da qualidade ambiental utilizando os macroinvertebrados apontaram para um bom estado de conservação da área de nascente do ribeirão das Anhumas, uma vez que foram encontradas uma alta riqueza de famílias e alta porcentagem de Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera e Trichoptera – EPT, em comparação com córregos de características semelhantes próximos a Araraquara. Os resultados apontam para a importância da conservação dessa área como referência de qualidade da água para a região de Araraquara.Revista Brasileira Multidisciplinar - ReBraM2011-01-12info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://revistarebram.com/index.php/revistauniara/article/view/9210.25061/2527-2675/ReBraM/2011.v14i1.92Revista Brasileira Multidisciplinar - ReBraM; v. 14 n. 1 (2011): janeiro/junho; 17-292527-26751415-3580reponame:Revista Brasileira Multidisciplinarinstname:Universidade de Araraquara (UNIARA)instacron:UNIARAporhttp://revistarebram.com/index.php/revistauniara/article/view/92/69Saulino, Hugo Henrique LanziCorbi, Juliano JoséCaraccioli, Leandro Carlosinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2018-03-08T14:22:37Zoai:ojs.revistarebram.com:article/92Revistahttp://revistarebram.com/index.php/revistauniaraPRIhttps://revistarebram.com/index.php/revistauniara/oairevistauniara@uniara.com||2527-26752527-2675opendoar:2018-03-08T14:22:37Revista Brasileira Multidisciplinar - Universidade de Araraquara (UNIARA)false |
