Description

This manual describes the methodology used by the Northern Territory (NT) for bioassessment of rivers and streams in the NT, adopted from standard protocols outlined in the River Bioassessment Manual (Davies, 1994). This approach was used for the NT MRHI/AUSRIVAS programs, and consequent model formulation. The manual is intended as a working guide for groups or individuals wishing to follow the standardised protocol and to collect data that is able to be compared with reference data collected by the MRHI program.
