Autores: Georgieva Galia N, Uzunova Eliza P, Hubenova Tania, Uzunov Yordan I

Resumen

The hydrobiological study of the Luda Yana River, and its right tributary - the Banska Luda Yana River, has been performed seasonally in 2011. Ecological status of the both rivers was analyzed according to the basic biotic indices, characterizing the composition and structure of the macrozoobenthic communities. The taxonomic structure and density showed that the bottom invertebrates community (the macrozoobenthos) was heavily disrupted and the saprobic index fluctuated around á-mesosaprobity probably as a result of municipal organic loads and the industrial wastewaters. The effects of the heavy metals pollution, incidentally occurred in the Banska Luda Yana River and originating most probably from the Assarel-Medet JSC, were discussed.
