Aquatic mites scientifically termed Hydrachnidia is one of the major group of macroinvertebrates, which are highly sensitive towards environmental disturbances and hence rightly act as a bio-indicator. The subject study was performed for two annual cycles on the snow-fed river Ganga near Deoprayag to assess the abundance and variety of aquatic mites. Overall 25 species of seven genera under five families were recorded and identified. Torrenticolidae was the most dominant family with a total of eleven species. The abundance of aquatic mites was found to be maximum during winter in the month of December and minimum during monsoon in the month of July. Overall the study area showed a high diversity of aquatic mites throughout the study period. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
