Functional feeding group (FFG) of aquatic macroinvertebrate in middle reach of Kerian river basin of North Malaysia Peninsula

Investigations on the distribution and abundance of aquatic macroinvertebrates functional feeding group (FFG) in Bogak, Kerian and Serdang rivers of Kerian River Basin showed that there were 120 genera from 59 families of 13 orders of macroinvertebrates. Predator mainly Odonata, Hemiptera and Col...

Predator mainly Odonata, Hemiptera and Coleoptera was the most common group and found in high densities in Bogak River (modified river) and Kerian River (main river).

In Serdang River, collector-gatherer abundance was affected by water temperature, velocity, TSS, turbidity, Mn and Cu content in the sediments.

High abundance of collector-gatherer in Serdang River was related to enriched water contributed by anthropogenic waste from surrounding residential areas.
