Ever Wonder how Scientists Identify Aquatic Invertebrates?

Sitting at the bottom of the food chain, aquatic invertebrates are great indicators of ecosystem health and function. This is why they are instrumental to the Great River Rapport in determining the health of the St. Lawrence River!
Did you know that some invertebrates are highly sensitive to pollutants, and the presence or absence of invertebrates in an ecosystem can be a key indicator to the state of that watershed?
Join us and see how scientists here at the River Institute catch and identify invertebrates! Watch as they collect live specimens and identify them under their microscopes.
