Hydrachnidia commonly known as aquatic mites are a significant group of aquatic macroinvertebrates, which act as potential bio-indicator due to their high vulnerability towards contamination and environmental changes. The present study has been conducted on the river Ganga near Haridwar city for two years with the aim to provide an account of the density and diversity of aquatic mites in river Ganga near Haridwar city, Uttarakhand. A total of 411 individuals m-2 of aquatic mites belonging to 11 species under six genera of four different families i.e. Torrenticolidae, Spherchontidae, Hygrobatidae and Feltriidae were recorded. Family Torrenticolidae was observed as the most diversified family. The maximum density and diversity of aquatic mites were recorded in the month of December (winter) and the minimum in the month of July (monsoon). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
