World of freshwater invertebrates
When diving into the wonderful of freshwater invertebrates, we’ll be sampling different physical and biological components in a stream – including invertebrates, temperature, oxygen, pH and substrates. We will identify different invertebrate species using a species guide, and use various monitoring and sampling tools such as nets and a clarity tube.
