Description
Summary:Examining the groups of living organism in rivers we can evaluate their condition. Larvae of Ephemeroptera can offer much information, because this group is present all along the running waters; some species are present in upper zones, another species like hilly and lowland zones and at last, there are species that like both places. The occurrence of Ephemeroptera larvae is determined by the geographical conditions, they depend on the substratum, are conditioned by the quantity and quality of the food and by the ecological conditions of the running water. Based on Ephemeroptera larvae, which have been collected in Cri$ul Repede we consider that its water has good quality. But the influence of dams and organic materials load can be felt. In some places the Ephemeroptera larvae are totally absent.
