Series Analysis Notes

The river was too low to for our boat to access the site, but too deep at the site (it is the upper end of an impoundment) to wade.

Invalid Sample

A BMIBI Warm Water analysis is considered invalid if any of the following are true:

  • There are no quantitative sessions with 85 or more individual benthic macroinvertebrate collected
  • There is no qualitative sample
  • The qualitative sample does not contain at least one individual benthic macroinvertebrate

The WW single-habitat metric values are neither calculated nor displayed for invalid samples.
