Using of Invertebrate as Bioindicator for Water Quality Monitoring of Pak Pra Canal, Phattalung Province
Abstract
The objective of this research is to evaluate water quality monitoring system using of invertebrate as bioindicators in Pak Pra Canal, Phattalung Province. Participatory Action Research (PAR) was carried out. Water quality assessment was conducted to determine chemical, physical and biological parameters. Results revealed that two phyla of invertebrate were found; Phylum Mollusca and Arthropoda. Phylum Arthropoda was the main composition of invertebrate in Pak Pra Canal during the study period. Among them, freshwater prawn (Family Parathelphusidae) was the most abundance, followed by Aphelonecta (Family Notonectidae) and damselflies (Family Protoneuridae), respectively. ASTPTHAI score was around 4 (fairly poor quality), that mean that water quality was not in a good condition. This result was well agreed with the chemical water parameter of this study. Hence, it may be concluded that, invertebrate can be used as bioindicators for water quality monitoring in Pak Pra Canal.
