A group of students investigated the effect of organic pollution on a river. They measured the percentage of dissolved oxygen at five different sampling sites (P to T) downstream of a farm wastewater outlet.

Dissolved Oxygen Levels

Sampling siteDissolved oxygen level (%)
Site P (upstream of outlet)92
Site Q (at outlet)14
Site R (10m downstream)36
Site S (50m downstream)65
Site T (100m downstream)88

Which indicator species is most likely to be found in the highest abundance at Site Q?
