How to fill out benthic macroinvertebrate sample collection

1. Select a suitable site for collecting benthic macroinvertebrates, ideally in a representative area of the water body.
2. Gather necessary equipment, including a sampling net, collection jars, and a measuring device.
3. Use a kick net or a D-frame net to disturb the substrate in a selected area, allowing organisms to be swept into the net.
4. Collect samples from various habitats (e.g., riffles, pools) for a comprehensive assessment.
5. Transfer the collected organisms into labeled collection jars filled with water to prevent desiccation.
6. Document the collection location, date, and environmental conditions in a field notebook.
7. If needed, identify and sort the organisms in the field to assess diversity.
8. Deliver the samples to a laboratory for further analysis and identification.
